oh august...

I've been having a bit of a hard time keeping my days in check lately, which is not ok, considering that August is going to be a bit of a shit show whirlwind of crazy.  First up, Grammie officially goes back to work as the #1 babysitter/caretaker/nanny/sorceror over at the Copeland residence, which means that I won't have any roommates to help divert O's limited attention span.  That's what TV is for, right?  

I've also got my 6 week postpartum checkup this week.  Look out for my life goals of exercising every day!

hahahahahahahahahaa.

But seriously, if I'm going to binge on Netflix and ice cream at nap time, I should probably try and fit a workout into my day too.  Besides, there's only a little more than a year until I finally tie the knot - gotta get that wedding body ready!

There's also this glorious little event called 'Stuff-a-Bag' at The Children's Orchard this Saturday.  They have them every couple of months and I'm slightly obsessed.  It's where I've snagged majority of Olive's clothes, and I plan on outfitting Louis from there as well.  The deal is, show up bright and early at 9:30am, latte in hand, with or without a child strapped to your body, and when the horn blows, fill up as many shopping bags as humanly possible with cute second hand clothes.  It's pretty boss.

After that I planned on moseying our family over the boarder to Maine to celebrate my friend Jody's birthday.  She's planning a kid friendly day time BBQ, which means that I'll be able to let Olive run free, hold baby Lou, and drink a long overdue beer with friends.

There's also the annual balloon festival up the road from us this weekend.  Paul and I randomly went once the first year we were dating and I thought it was super cool.  Entry is a $5 suggested donation, and it's basically a free for all of walking around hot air balloons while eating fair food and checking out local craft vendors.  It's a three day event, but Saturday is obviously the best day to go... on Saturday night they light up all those pretty balloons and have and epic fireworks display.  

I want to do it all!  Who needs showers or routine or anything... Saturdays are for adventures ... Sundays are for binging Netflix on the couch rest.

And after that we'll be off for a week of actual rest and relaxation up at the farm (thank goodness!)

Oh.. and theres more exciting news to follow...
