Hello Monday (September 8, 2025)

 

Hi Friends and Happy Monday!  I am here with Sarah and we are talking about our weekends.  Hope you will link up with us!

 

Here is what our first fall weekend looked like....

 

Friday

 Well..Rob brought Remi to the vet on Thursday as he had a rash...

 

it was hundreds of dollars to up his allergy meds and add an ointment....boo...but while there, when in a muzzle, he tried to take it off and unbeknownst to us, ended up scratching both of his eyes.  We thought his eyes were just squinty from being on a sedative...well Friday morning, he could barely open his eyes so Rob brought him to the emergency vet at 6:15am....three hours later...after sedatives and tests, we found out he scratched both eyes so he is on more meds and in a cone for a week....my heart is breaking 

 

Friday Night

 

First...check it out...13 years ago wearing Zach's Senor Pin and now...this year...wearing Diana's...sometimes life is very surreal...this was one of those moments

Then...

 and now...

 

Yes!!!  It was time for our first FNL of Diana's Senior Year and it did not disappoint!  Though our team lost, they gave us hope.  They were not favored to win so I don't think we were expecting a win...it was just so great to be out with friends again and celebrating the kids that our kids have grown up with!  It was a magical night.

 

 

 

I met up with some football mamas to "pre game" and then we headed to the game together.  (That was after I fed Eva and her friends and after school). Rob brought the girls and his Dad to the game and my parents met us there.

 

 

 

We all cheered in the stands together.  We couldn't compete, though, with our amazing student body.  It was "neon night" and the kids did not disappoint.  The cheerleaders fed off their energy so we were really entertained

 

 

 

 After the game, Lea and I were two of the last people roaming the parking lot because we could not find her car...nope...can't make this stuff up...laughed so hard and shook our heads...only us :/

 

 

 

 Saturday

 

Cass and I met up for breakfast so we could have one on one time to catch up...so good for the soul...our Jeeps agreed ;)

 

 Rob and his Dad started painting the garage...Project Homecoming saw major progress this weekend!

 

I did some errands and then we started watching "The Baxters"- a cute series about a family on Prime.

 

 

 Then it was time for Diana to head to work and we all headed down to the South Shore of Mass for Eva's first hockey game of the season- despite the loss, the team showed their potential and someone was named Captain for the first couple of games- Go Pidge!

 

#FearTheTutu ;)

 

 

We got home late...had some ice cream and crashed

 

 

Sunday

 

Rob and Eva were up very early and headed to softball practice for her club team

 

 

Diana and I slept in and then headed to Nutrition Corner for teas then came home and got cozy (yucky rainy day) and watched a documentary about kidfluencing- I forget the name but it creeped me out...anyway look how cute my boy is in his cone...poor bugger!

 

 

 I then made us a pasta dinner...perfect for a rainy day and we watched more of the Baxters.  Then Rob and his dad finished painting the garage...the girls did their homework and had some fun on their own...I caught up on blogging and doing some real estate.

 

 Last night, Diana had cheer practice and we snuggled up early with some more Friday Night Lights.

 

What were you all up to?

Hello Monday on Tuesday (September 2, 2025)

 

Hi Friends and Happy Tuesday!  I am here with Sarah and we are chatting about our long weekends- hope you will join us!

 

First things first...Happy Birthday to my Wonderful Brother Matt!  Love you! 

 

 

 

It was a wonderful Labor Day Weekend and end to the summer...here is what we were up to...

 

 

Friday Night

 

After work I did some running around for Blackout...picking up and dropping off a raffle basket...collecting some cash raised at a lemonade stand and dropping it off to our treasurer...making a sweatshirt swap...driving around town for this reason makes me so happy...anyway...that night, we hit Tavern In The Square with our besties and then over to the movie theater to attend the 50th Anniversary Screening of Jaws- Rob's and Cass's fave movie of all time....it was a great night...this film never gets old and is amazing on the big screen!

 

 

 

 

 

Oh and had to share this post on IG of course...giddy....just giddy...

 

 

 

 

Saturday

  

We were up bright and early and Rob and I continued on "Project Homecoming"...we made the most progress in the garage that we have before.  He made a couple of trips to the transfer station and then brought two old tvs to Best Buy to dispose of them...next step...power washing and then the final step will be painting...it is looking amazing! (Wish I had taken some before pictures)

 

Diana and I paid a trip to Nutrition Corner for Shakes and then drove around with the top down.

 

Later on, she headed to work and the rest of us headed up to Wells Maine to meet my parents and brother at Hobbs so we could celebrate our upcoming birthdays together.  My parents treated us to a great dinner and we got some pics by the water :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Sunday

 

I was up bright and early and got the grocery shopping done.  I unpacked everything at home...threw a recipe in the crock pot for a yummy side dish for that night and served breakfast.

 

Then Rob and I headed to mass.

 

When we got back, Diana and I headed to Starbucks for some new fall drinks....drove around with the top down and then hit the rail trail for a walk. 

 

 

 Later on, Eva headed to a pool party with her besties

Diana and I got sucked into a new documentary on Netflix called "Unknown Number- The High School Catfish"- friends?  Just shocking and sickening- you should check it out

 
 That night, The Fourniers came over along with Bethany for awhile...we grilled and chilled and it was an awesome time.

 

 Cass gave me my birthday gift...one of my fave scents :)

 

Monday

 

We were up bright and early...no matter how hard we try to sleep in...we are just too programmed.  It was a nice slow morning though.  I got a great start on my September book, "She Didn't See It Coming"...the new thriller by Shari Lapena- one of my favorite authors

 

Then over coffee, I insisted Rob watch the documentary...so I watched it again with him.  When Diana got home from Cat's she finished watching what she had missed and the three of us debriefed- just shocking and sickening.

Later on, we grabbed Starbucks for the girls and Rob got started on power washing the garage while I caught up on blogging.

 

Oh and check out my new charm...hung it in my Jeep 

 

 

 Then Eva and I headed to the Rail Trail :)

 

 

 Then Diana requested that the four of us go to Red's for a late lunch/early dinner and not use our phones (after we took our family selfie of course)...she was in the feels and it was nice to spend the QT with my favorite people

 

 

We wrapped up our holiday weekend by making S'mores at the Fire Pit happen...first time all summer AND we checked off our last item on our Summer List 

 

 That's a wrap!  Ready for a new week and oh...yeah...four days until FNL :)  What were you all up to?
