What I'm reminiscing about...

Our Disney trip!  I posted about it last week here and I've been talking about it since we've been back.  We are reading Disney stories and watching Disney movies.

What I'm loving...

Online shopping.  I got snowsuits for both boys and some other winter things.  I am having less patience for sifting through sizes in a kid's store.  And the Canada Post rotating strike has not really affected delivery (yet).

What we've been up to...

Celebrating birthdays - Q had a party at the end of September, and E's birthday celebrations spanned two weekends.  Time to put the Happy Birthday banner away for now.

What I'm dreading...

It's not dread exactly, just the feeling that I need to "gird my loins" for the production of getting out of the house with all of the winter things. 

What I'm working on...

We went to Barcelona three years ago and we have still not made our photo book, so I'm trying to wade through our pictures and put it together now.  I try to do a little bit each night.  Luckily I did these blog posts so it is a little easier to put the photos in the right order.

What I'm excited about...

I'm trying to get our Barcelona book done because we are going there again in January!  Just Dave and I are going this time; it is a reward trip with his company for his successful year.  It will be fun to visit a city we have already been too; I'm excited to eat the good food and visit some places we missed last time.  E is disappointed we are going without him, but we will plan something with both boys soon.

What I'm watching/reading...

We just finished Season 2 of Ozark on the weekend. Now watching The Haunting of Hill House, Making a Murderer, The Great Canadian Baking Show, and Jeopardy (one of my friends from law school was on the show but I didn't know when his episode will air, so I recorded it everyday just in case.  He will be on this Friday though! Good luck JBG!).

I'm reading In the Unlikely Event but Judy Blume, and have The Girl with Seven Names and China Rich Girlfriend on my nightstand to pick up next. 

What I'm listening to...

I've found a new podcast - Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard.  You may know Dax as an actor in various projects, but he is also Mr. Kristen Bell. He's funny, he talks to celebrities, I'm in. 

What I'm wearing...

My poppy.  I used to wait until after Halloween to start wearing my poppy, I liked to keep my holidays separate. But the campaign started this week so we got our poppies at the grocery store on the weekend.  Remembrance Day is on a Sunday this year so I'm deciding between going to church where they will recognize it in some way, or going downtown to a service.  

What I'm doing this weekend...

We have no plans so far, which sounds good to me!  I'm looking forward to a plain old weekend with no set plans. 

What I'm looking forward to next month...

The Christmas season begins!  Right now it feels far away and I don't feel ready to jump into the Christmas spirit yet, but I know I will be excited soon. 

What else is new...

Not much else, Dave has started a few projects around the house, some painting, reorganizing the storage in the basement, and planning some landscaping for next spring.

Linking up with Shay, Sheaffer, and Mel.
