Hello October

I am not even sure where September went. Now all of a sudden it's October! Hells bells,  Ya'll we are going to blink and it will be Christmas morning. How crazy is that?! September, October, and December are my favorite months of the year!! I have my Christmas lists made for the kids and booked our NYC hotel for the week before Christmas! This year instead of buying a bunch of gifts for the kids from us (Santa will still come) we want to build memories and what better memory could there be but Rockefeller Center at Christmas? Strolling the streets of New York and taking in all the Christmas lights and decorations is more meaningful than some toy that will be thrown to the side a week after Christmas.

Our first weekend of October was a busy one with lots on the agenda.


Mere had a sleepover Friday night. So it was just me and Max. We had a few errands to run Saturday morning before soccer. With some extra time to kill we went into Barnes and Noble. I hadn't been in there in forever. I had forgotten how much I love book stores. Max loves the play areas in them lol. Then it was off to Mere's soccer game!

Sunday we had Nolan over. He turned 16 on September 27 and the kids were ready to celebrate with him (and eat the chocolate cake I made for him lol).

We went to church Sunday evening at the Cathedral in Covington. They have mass at 5:30pm. The cathedral is gorgeous but best of all we were able sleep in. To me that is a win!! I feel like everyday is a battle in my head between a few minutes of extra sleep versus what I really need to be doing. After church we headed to Goodfella's for some pizza followed by a ride by the river and across the bridge. It was the perfect ending to the weekend.

I will leave ya'll with a picture of Rupp! OMG he is getting huge!! Having a puppy has definitely been an adjustment. It is like a having a newborn! Have a great week!!
