Just finishing up at work here. DH has the boys at a father’s day picnic with his family. He texted me that he forgot to bring diapers and wipes 😑 so hopefully C doesn’t poop. I’m meeting them as soon as I get done with work.

thatgolfb Did she love it?! I’m trying to decide which package and figure out what’s worth it. & Thank you for the ideas! I wish I could trust Gianna to entertain the babes without my supervision. My kids are SO crazy. Siena ended up with a black eye yesterday brawling with Gianna in their car seats!!! I need to put a wall between them. Sorry this is late, yes she loved it! It was on our last day so she was tired and bit grumpy, but once she was there she was fine. We actually did the most basic package and we brought her a costume we bought elsewhere. It was a great choice because those costumes are super expensive.

I’m pretty sure Star Wars land is officially open but only to those who have reservations. It opened on May 31st; DH was supposed to go to a conference at Disney and I laughed at what a shit show it would have been on opening day! Yeah that’s what I mean! We were given reservations since we’re staying at the Grand Californian, it opens to all park guests like the day after we leave. I imagine it’s really going to be a shit show that day! I’m so jealous you are staying there. That’s on my list!

Have a great time at Disneyland belle0720! I'd love to stay at the Grand Californian one day, but it is just so so expensive (for us). bethkate, congrats on being done! Sorry you got soaked What's puppy dog pals? I feel like Jojo would like it. Strange E didn't like the carousel, next time probably she will paperbagliz, have a great date night, what's the plan? cakewench, dd does number 2 as well, it's pretty cute. She sometimes says woof, but it usually sounds more like boo? Haha. Also, please report back about taking a toddler to a baseball game, we're considering it sometime this summer. pootsen, I remember you talking about that platter from last year! Sounds like a good fathers day for all. I guess I should think of something for DH? He's happy with the art DD made at daycare. It sounds like no one is working today except for me!!! Enjoy your days off all. Rain or otherwise. ldubhawksfan, hopefully your period shows up at a reasonable time... you're not TTC are you? sarahandben108, congrats on having a kindergartener! It's Friday, hurray. Going to the consignment store to drop off a few things and see if they happen to have any shorts for dd. It's right next to an amazing bakery so I'll pick up some bread and a treat for this afternoon too. I'm looking forward to a family bbq on Sunday for Father's Day. DD loves her cousins and uncles/aunts. The Grand Californian, and any of the Disney hotels near Disneyland, are just insanely priced, even compared to Disneyworld (I recently compared). We always stay off property, but I want to do it at some point just to have the experience.

I am sure it is 100% worth it, so I definitely understand wanting to do it despite the price. I plan to at some point!

blabbermouth It IS expensive lol! I might have mentioned before but I booked a year in advance through david’s vacation club and it was significantly less expensive, ~$335/nt. This is a great pro tip that I will need to remember.

Also, good morning, all! We did our county fair 5K and it was a fun walk with the kids. We started at the end because stroller and were almost dead last to finish. But that was actually fun because we took our time strolling through the fair grounds! Then we went to one of our favorite brunch spots near the ocean, and it somehow wasn’t crowded at almost 10 am on a Saturday. It is graduation weekend for my alma mater so perhaps college students have either left town or were busy with family this weekend/moving out.
H just left for the airport; he is going to visit his parents up north for the night and take them to dinner (specifically for Father’s Day). He returns late tomorrow morning. Not sure if I shared here, but FIL’s cancer has returned and he is in chemo again. It is not a good sign that it came back a few months after he was cleared, and we just aren’t sure how many more fathers days he will have. 😞
DD2 is napping and DD1 and I are watching the Wizard of Oz (the fair is Oz themed this year so she was asking about it). I am a bit verklempt because it my mom’s favorite movie and I am so glad Dd wanted to watch it. I’m a sap now. 🤣

Kids fell asleep in the car after the party, so I made dh drive up to a holder warehouse to look for vanity tops! The only flaw in it is that I’m pretty sure we couldn’t safely drive with a 73” vanity top and two car seats! Ha. I think I found one I like for ~$650 so I’m hoping replacing the whole top and sinks, and painting the existing wood vanity will give that part of the bathroom a facelift without the $$$ that the shower half is costing.

We will be taking the boys in a few years and want it to be a once in a lifetime trip, so we are going to go all out. Will need to scrimp and save wherever we can to afford it though!

Sorry to hear about your FIL thatgolfb. Wizard of Oz is such a classic, I haven't watched it in years. Jojo has some kind of bug. A fever and just miserable. Exhausted, but having trouble falling asleep. A tiny bit of a phlegmy cough when she lays down. Otherwise not many symptoms, but you can tell she feels like crap as soon as the Tylenol wears down even a little bit. There was some rash and diahrea thing going around at daycare, so thanks, daycare. We finally got a good thermometer that will do the forehead temp in a second so we can keep a better eye on it. We will probably give her Advil in the night. We want to prevent another febrile seizure if we can 😫 Sick kids suck: you feel bad for them, you're anxious about it and it screws up your sunny weekend plans.

blabbermouth sorry for the sick kid. Hope you were able to keep her fever in check! Yep she was having trouble settling last night, coughing a lot. We took her for a drive thinking she might pass out in the carseat. She didn't cough in the car, but was awake the whole ride! Once we got home she fell asleep fine and we woke her once for Advil, but otherwise we all slept great. She is down for a morning nap and I think starting to feel a bit better today. Sorry you're in the same boat bethkate 😣 I am happy to be getting a lot of cuddles though.

Happy birthday snuff9861! blabbermouth I hope she's on the mend soon I'm pretty sure DS2 is weaning. He hasn't nursed before nap in a week and he didn't nurse before bed last night. I'm a little sad but it's nice that other people can handle nap/bed now 🙌

It’s been a great weekend! Date night was awesome- dinner and drinks downtown at the waterfront. The weather was amazing! DH has had a good Father’s Day with some quiet time and a lot of family time. We went back downtown for lunch today, and a retired teacher came over to compliment the kids’ behavior. I was so proud!
M is in speech therapy now- she barely qualified at her eval in April, but why not get the service while it’s free? She’s had an explosion since the eval, and she just now sang a totally recognizable version of “Happy Birthday.”

I have mixed feels about him weaning for sure!

I hope everyone had a great Father's Day. We went out to brunch which ended up being delicious. My H wanted to bring the boys down the street to the local park so somehow I scored an hour to myself. LOL. Last day of school!!

Happy Birthday, snuff9861! Hope J feels better soon, blabbermouth! So sorry to hear about your FIL, thatgolfb. Sending love. YAY sarahandben108!!! We had fun at the game yesterday; N didn't really want to sit and watch anything, and kept picking up other people's trash. He LOVED the cooling fan though We mostly walked around in the shade, and N had his first ice cream (which he did not like sharing with Mommy but oh well LOL). During the little time we were actually in our seats, a home run was hit about two rows behind us. You can definitely see us in the recap video (H and I at least, I was covering N's head). Later in the game we found some seats in the shade since people were already leaving, and the Nats hit a grand slam... pretty eventful for N's first game! 18mo well-visit is tomorrow.

Thanks so much for the love, everyone. I’m hopeful but FIL’s cancer is just so aggressive. He is probably the most positive person I know though, and I am in awe of his continued good attitude (at least on the surface).
We had a lovely weekend. My friend came over Saturday night for dinner/wine/girl talk and it was much needed. The girls were great when we went to the Y Sunday morning so I could work out. And H took over to give me a nap that afternoon. Happy Fathers Day to him. 🤣
He is out of town today through Wed and then again Fri through Sun for work. I am actually at urgent care right now. I have had a persistent sore throat for a couple weeks now and the nurse said just to go. So, probably viral since it isn’t *that* bad, but I’m glad I’m getting it checked.

Ugh, hope you get well soon too! Sorry your DH is traveling so much. It sucks trying to balance work and a sick kid 😫 it's like two full time jobs and less sleep than usual. I'm at a course tomorrow so my mom is coming in to take a shift so DH can get into work for a half day. I'm probably going to go to bed before 9 tonight 😁

We ended up at the dr yesterday because E’s fever is gone, but she woke up covered in a rash. Doctor said everything looks good, so it was probably viral and the rash will go away in a few days

Doctor said everything looks good, so it was probably viral and the rash will go away in a few days Is that what they call roseola maybe? I wish Jojo's fever was over, but it's still sticking around today! We have another doctor's appointment tomorrow since he said if she still had the fever Wednesday to bring her back in. Tonight with some medicine in her she ate the most real food she's eaten in days (but that's like one skinny rice cake with peanut butter, yogurt, goldfish crackers and half of DH's kitkat, haha) and had more energy than she's had in days, so we're keeping our hopes up for a good night. It's such a busy two weeks at work for me because I have two courses and a work team building event so I'm short on working days. But we'll get through it Thank god for my mom!
