Tomorrow is Fan Expo which is like Comicon but actually bigger, and me being the procrastinator that I am only finished Merle’s skirt today for her costume. I also still have to repair Roo’s Hogwarts school sweater and shorten Merle’s purse strap tonight before bed.
To go along with my procrastination I have to put together the girls school stuff this weekend for our back to school start on Tuesday. The first week back is probably going to be pretty lax anyway, since I am still waiting for a couple of school books to arrive, and Roo has to get a cavity filled on Wednesday.
I’ll post a picture of Merle in her finished costume on my Instagram in the morning. She always loves this weekend because she gets to do a trial run on this year’s Halloween costume.
There are lots of sales going on over the next few days and everything I linked comes from a retailer that is having a sale or has a coupon code (except number 22 which is from Zara and we all know they rarely have sales).
I came across the Edinburgh Darkside Walking Tour: Mysteries, Murder and Legends tour while I was Pinteresting last night and I bookmarked it to add to my “going to do this someday” list. I looks super fun and not at all like some of those dressing up in costumes, and jumping out to scare you gimmicky tours.
One more week of summer and I finally figured out what we are doing for school this year…..kind of. I need to find some science, and history resources for Merle, and decide if this year is world history or Canadian history for Roo. She’s starting high school which is so insane. I can’t even wrap my head around that fact and it’s a little over a week away.
I ordered some nice things from Zara this week using my gift cards. Number 5 up on the collage was one of the sweaters I got. Although I had to head back in the store today and exchange to for a larger size, because it is quite short-waisted and the next size up fits better in length. I also got these jeans which are fabulous and my new favourites. They fit tight so maybe a size up there too.
It’s supposed to rain all weekend which I am looking forward to because it gives me an excuse to stay in and work through my “holy shit summer is almost over” list. First thing on my list is to finish the skirt for Merle’s costume to wear to Comicon next weekend. She gets to try out her Halloween costume which is always super fun for her.
