A little life update by way of some happenings that I'm currently planning for around here...
assembling: party favor bags for Hendrik's Pokémon themed birthday party - he turns 9 on Saturday!
coordinating: Halloween costumes for Hendrik and Freddie. No surprise, Hendrik wanted to be something Pokémon related, so he's going to be Ash Ketchum, and Freddie's going to be his Pikachu.
deciding: on a brunch menu for our little post-church celebration after Freddie's baptism later this month. I'm thinking some kind of quiche/frittata dish since they're easy to make (or order from our local bakery!) in advance and can serve all of the family who will be around, and then some fall flavors, maybe with an apple crisp (made and loved this one recently) or a cinnamon coffee cake.
selecting: outfits for the fam for Freddie's baptism day, so when we're all dressed up and have some other people around to serve as photographer we can hopefully snap a good one for our Christmas card. We had a professional photo shoot in the spring and I adore the results, but Freddie is so much bigger already that I want a more current family photo too! I'm wearing this dress, so everyone will have to coordinate with me, ha... Freddie's got this sweet little oxford shirt for his outfit.
anticipating: making a packing list for... our trip to the Bahamas this winter! Just got everything booked for an ocean view room at a gorgeous Sandals resort - I'm calling it our belated-belated-belated 15-year anniversary trip and cannot wait.
That's what's providing the motivation and happy distraction amidst the day-to-day diaper rash, occasional childcare shortage, gray skies, and cold virus that lasted for 2+ weeks... Some good stuff to look forward to and enjoy! Any big events in your October (or future plans)?
