Week in Review 10/27/17

I hope everyone had a great week. Thanks for checking out my weekly series, Week in Review, posted every Friday. Enjoy a recap of how the week went down and tell me about yours.

 

1) What’s gotten my attention this week?

Halloween. I mean how could it not? My kiddos are going as Paw Patrol characters, Marshall and Skye. Because the exact right items at a thrift store practically threw themselves at me, I’m going as Velma from Scooby Doo.

What are you and/or your kiddos going as? If you don’t know yet, click here from some last minute costume ideas.

 

2) What blog should you check out?

Radhika’s Diaries. Radhika is a lover of words, and that shines through when reading her blog. Her topics are varied, thoughtful, and also lighthearted. I find myself chuckling through each and every single one of her posts. Check it out. Your day will be better.

3) What’s been going on this week?

Still soaking up the nice weather. I just know our nice weather days are numbered. Soon it’s going to turn cold and windy. So we are still trying to squeeze in as many walks and trips to the park that we can.

This past weekend my friend and I loaded up our kids and headed out to Turner Falls for a day trip. It’s known for it’s swimming in the summer. Fall rates are lower though, and there’s still plenty to explore. My kids complained the whole time because there wasn’t treasure in the caves or pizza at our picnic. It’s gorgeous there though, and one day maybe they’ll appreciate that we do stuff like this?

4) What’s going on this weekend?

A grown up dinner. Wha??? Yep, that’s right. A for real, sit down grown up dinner. My parents bought a table at a charity dinner and auction for us, them, and my collection of siblings. I’m going to sit down with my husband and have conversation with other grown ups without any kids around. I’m scared I won’t know how to behave, but also I’m really looking forward to it.
