Weekend stuff

You'll laugh here: I actually meant to write this about last weekend, never got around to it, so I just deleted the text and started over. Apparently nothing too interesting happened last weekend?

I also was working on the same outfit post all last week and I never got around to posting it. I'm literally just going to call it "September and October Clothes" at this point. 

This weekend started with an idyllic trip to the pumpkin patch.

There were definitely no stomping feet, dramatic flounces to the ground, or "I don't like this"s. Anyway, I take the blame for this, partly. I didn't want to drive 45 minutes to a (potentially) more fun pumpkin patch so went to the usual one and it was way too hot and way too dry and dusty. Literally, I was covered in dust by the end. Plus a lot of the attractions were broken. So I don't blame the "I don't like this"s but at the same time, our parents never took us to pumpkin patches for goodness sake. Kids today expect a level of entertainment that is something else. 

Speaking of "kids today" and being old, I wore heels that were a little too high this week and I hobbled around for 3 days afterward. So I ordered a new pair of slippers because my old ones were worn out and I need, apparently, a sturdier footbed. I went with something trendy but did not splurge on the Uggs :/ Usually I buy a new pair each late fall/early winter because that's how exciting I am right now. I'm afraid if I bought Uggs, they'd get destroyed and I'd be super irritated. 

(destroyed by the owner of those paws ^ if expensive slippers would happen to be destroyed)

Then I tweaked my neck so I've been dealing with that. I'm not sure how I did that but the motrin and the warm compresses help, I guess. 

Saturday ended with fall pictures.

It went super well. (Just kidding)

We bribed with everything imaginable and that's the thing about Sutton: she's too smart to take a bribe. She has nothing but time on her hands so she'll wait you out. She can also sense when you want something out of her. Wells earned ice cream for his participation. He was the same way at 2, though. He wasn't an awful toddler but when he turned 3.5-ish is when he became someone I could truly reason with. 

And then, Scott ran into Starbucks (Dunkin was closed already because that's the kind of town we live in) for coffee pre-pictures and I asked him for a cold brew. He got me a pumpkin spice cold brew. I think PSLs taste like warm garbage water. This wasn't much better but at least it was cold. 

And ended with a relaxing day of football and cleaning and cooking.

Just kidding.


We went to the grocery store and Sutton skipped a nap :)

I also, though, have resolved that I'm not bringing school work home anymore. I'm going to try it for the 2nd quarter now that we're officially one quarter into the school year. I legitimately fear that it won't make a difference in a lot of ways. Which means all the time spent working at home was for nothing, you know? I actually think I'm going to stop taking my tote bag to school so I'm not tempted to bring things home. Thoughts?
