Manic Mondays are when I let you know what plans I have for the week. Some weeks I may be very busy where other weeks there may not be any plans. We are up for quite a busy week. Every day something is scheduled! I have also decided to do a quick recap of what we actually did versus what I thought we were going to do.
This Week
Monday-Today we are getting up bright and early to head out to Target. I am hoping that Christmas will finally go 70%. I checked yesterday and it wasn’t, but since so many other stores did I am pretty confident ours will. Now the debate is do I go to just my regular Target or do I hit another one after I go to mine?
Tuesday-Since today is New Year’s Eve, we really don’t have any plans. Hopefully B will bring up the Christmas tubs and I can start to take down all the Christmas. S wants to keep the tree up all year long but sadly it has to come down.
Wednesday-Today is New Year’s Day. I checked at Kohl’s on Sunday to see if the Hallmark ornaments were 75% off yet and they were still only 50%. This is when I normally get a few Peanut ornaments really cheap. So I may make a run to Kohl’s. Other than that we are going to just hang out around the house.
Thursday-Rumor has it that Target Christmas clearance will go 90% today. If that is the case, I will be making a run to all four of the Targets in my area. Thanks goodness B is off so he can keep S and I can really scour the stores for hidden gems.
Friday-No reals plans for today, I think we are just hanging out around the house.
Saturday-We have a build at Home Depot this morning. Then S and I have a swim birthday party to go to. S loves playing with his cousins so he will have a ton of fun swimming with them. I am hoping S is big enough now that I don’t have to go swimming with him, but probably will.
Sunday-As of right now, no plans.
Last Week Recap
I have talked about what we did last week a ton already so I am going to just do a quick recap of the days. Monday S and I finished our treats for our neighbor’s gifts. The marshmallows turned out awesome. They were a big hit everywhere we went. We were all up way to late cooking. It always comes down to the apples pies as to why I am up so late the day before Christmas Eve.
Tuesday was Christmas Eve and S got up early and opened his presents from B and me. He loved all of his Hot Wheel tracks he got and those kept him busy while B and I got ready for Christmas Eve. B was making food and I was getting ready. Christmas Eve was busy and chaotic as always. We told everyone we are pregnant (or I should say we let S tell everyone). S opened a ton of gifts and then we headed home to get ready for Santa.
Wednesday was Christmas Day and S was so excited when he woke up. We tried to get him to cuddle with us for just a little while so we could sleep some more, but he wanted none of that and we all got up bright and early. S opened his gifts from Santa and his grandparents. While S and B ate breakfast I took a nap on the couch and then went back to bed. B woke me up to take S for a car ride and get him to take a nap. No problem. We drove S to look at how high the Maumee River had gotten. S fell asleep and don’t you know I took a nap with him. I was really tired. We went to celebrate more Christmas with more family. After a long day and night we headed home where B and S passed out together in bed.
Thursday we hung out at home. I made a trip to Target to get new stocking holders for next year. It is a train set that holds 4 stockings. I also found some great toy finds and a few more Hot Wheel tracks for S.
Friday we hung out at home and B went back to work. S was so busy playing with his toys he didn’t even mind that B went back to work.
Saturday again we just hung out at home and S played with all of his new toys. While B was working on setting up the Hot Wheel tracks on the wall, I took the chance to put away all of the toys that S
is too big for. He would still play with the toys if I left them out, but really there just isn’t enough room.
Sunday we hung out at home and then made a run to Target and Kohl’s. Since Target did not go down to 70% I just did some scouting of items and let B and S look at toys.
Last Week
Monday-Today S and I will finish up making all of our treats for the neighbors and we have to make a few apple pies. I have a dentist appointment in the afternoon with a new dentist. I am kind of nervous but after my old dentist told me I had three cavities and when I got a second opinion he did not agree with me having any cavities, it was time for a change. We may make a drive out to a local town because the Maumee River is way above stage levels and B and I love to go see how high it has gotten and where it flooded.
Tuesday-Today is Christmas Eve and we are going to be running from family to family and celebrating Christmas.
Wednesday-Merry Christmas! Today I will be celebrating with family.
Thursday-I think today we be a recovery day from the madness of the past two days. I think I may have to make a trip out to Target and pick up a few holiday items at 50% off. I would like to get the items cheaper, but I don’t want to miss out on them either. I’ll get them at 50% and if I can find them cheaper I will get them again.
Friday-B is going back to work tonight. As of now we have no plans.
Saturday-Today we don’t have any plans and I am okay with that.
Sunday-Again no plans for today.
