Oh, what a weekend! Filled with highs and lows…
Friday, when we got home from work/daycare, Harlow’s new boots (to leave at daycare) had arrived and she was soooo excited! This girl lurves her boots!
Saturday was Mommy Group, and it was… fun? But, overwhelming, and overstimulating. We only hung on for about an hour, and it was a very squirmy hour, but overall, it is always a great time to get together with my Mommy friends and get the babies together, too!
We got home and hit the hay… hard. Looong nap for Harlow and Mommy! Then it was time for my girlie-girl to play dressup.

I tried the hand-me-down Christmas dress on her, and it was too small to button up, but she would NOT take it off. Add Minnie Mouse accessories, and she was ready for a party!
Sunday was a low key day. Mostly Harlow & I hung out until after nap, then went shopping for a couple of things while Chris HUNG UP CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!!! Let me just say, I haven’t had outdoor Christmas lights since before moving out of my Dad’s house a hundred years ago, so I’m a tad excited. Our last house didn’t have outdoor outlets, and the last two years at this house, we just didn’t really think to do it… oops.
Anyhoosies…
So… Shopping. I bought this sweater and a long “leggings t-shirt” to wear for a comfy Thanksgiving Day outfit. Not sure which way to wear it, yet, though… I really like it long & crisscrossed.
Which brings us to today. Harlow woke up at 3:30am and was AWAKE. I’m saying, taking toys out of her toy basket (in the dark) and talking up a storm kind of awake. I tried putting her back in her crib unsuccessfully twice, taking her to bed with me unsuccessfully once, and finally, we fell asleep on the floor together with her Boppy as a pillow, surrounded by toys, and a blanket about 1/2 hour before the alarm went off… I’m a groggy mommy, let me tell you. Let me also tell you that I felt horrible having to wake Harlow up, and that she was NOT a happy camper.
I’m so excited about the short work week and going to my parents’ house for Thanksgiving!
Happy Monday!
Anything fun or festive happen this weekend?
