Happy holiday weekend! I slept almost straight through from 11pm-8am and still feel like I was hit by a truck. I think the weeks of being sick and now almost 34 weeks pregnant and trying to get ready for the holidays and keep up with work have just run me down. DH was sweet and went out to get me some yummy huevos rancheros this morning though. I did manage to do all my wrapping last night so I can lay low today. I have to go out for the store for just a couple of things and I want to take E to "talk to Rudolph," which is a local thing.
Despite all my complaining, I am very much looking forward to celebrating Christmas this year with family!!

armpants, I love having E in a regular bed! When he needs me he just runs in, it is so much easier on me, being pregnant and not having to get up.

My mom is going to pick us up at some point today, and then we’re going to my sister’s for my BIL’s birthday dinner. She’s making vegan eggplant parm, spaghetti and meatballs, so there will be something for everyone. Should be fun. Then spending Christmas with family in NJ. Presents are wrapped, but I’d like to do some baking with P there. I think my mom and/or sister will be down.

MH went to the farmers market with P to drop off our compost and they came back with donuts. Let the eating begin!

Today will be the first of four holiday celebrations planned! Turkey is in the oven, house is almost clean, M just went down for a nap, DS1 is at work but will be home in time for dinner! I'm really looking forward to Christmas this year! Wishing all you lovely Mommies a wonderful weekend leading up to Christmas!

First nap went well!
I'm about ready for dinner tonight. Just need to finish cooking. H has one or two more tasks to compete since he decided to play video games.

This is what P does too, except she’s in the habit of running in at about 3am. We need to work on that in the new year... E comes in anywhere between 1-5....but...I don't want to jinx myself but in the past couple weeks he's started sleeping the whole night in there more! For the first 2.5 months in that bed he would make it all night like once a week. Now it is more like 4-5 nights a week! We didn't do anything to try to change his behavior, I'm too tired to do anything and DH is (as he admits) too impatient during the night.

Potty training was a bust. This kid doesn't drink or pee much even with juice as an incentive. We may try again in a few days or we may wait until the springtime. We'll see. I just don't want to stress her out and she was very upset when she peed in the underwear.

First night in toddler bed went well! Even when he woke up this morning he just stayed in bed. I think he might retain his unicorn sleeping status! I had to change his sheets this morning and oh my god it was so much easier!
Merry Christmas eve everyone. I hope your day is filled with love and good food ❤

That is great @ampaints. I am terrified to put DS in a toddler bed. We had a good afternoon. We went to the trampoline park and DS had a blast. He kept wanting to play at the basketball hoop so I'm so excited to give him his basketball hoop for Christmas. Then we went to eat at a sushi/hibachi place and he sat well and loved the fire at the hibachi stations.

H and I had a huge fight last night.. he's still sleeping (probably avoiding us) and I'm just not feeling happy at all which sucks because it's Christmas Eve. It's probably going to be tense AF around here and I kljust want to hide and cry.
I'm trying to keep my spirits up for the kids.. we made some crowns that they were gifted and we had some hot cocoa while watching Polar Express.
I may not be around much today and tomorrow, but I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas. I hope you all enjoy the time with your families.

Betweenthelines, sorry to hear about the fight. DH and I have done that so I know how much it sucks.

Does Santa wrap gifts at your house? DH and I were discussing earlier so I just wanted to see what you all do!

So sorry to hear that things are tense Betweenthelines. That's no fun. I hope things are smoothed over quickly.

It's snowing again today. Big snowflakes that look gorgeous and are perfect for snowmen. The ground is still warm enough that it won't accumulate much on the roads but does accumulate on the grass so the kids can play in it. I love when it snows on days when we don't have to go anywhere.

easternshoregirl Santa doesn't wrap. He also tends to give the oddly shadows gifts for some reason 😂

Sorry about the fight Betweenthelines. Just rotten. I hope things get better. Nevertheless, Merry Christmas to you and yours Santa wraps in our home. He uses special paper that has Santa on it.

I should add I LOVE wrapping. I procrastinate, drink wine, and wrap.
I did it last night watching Harry Potter 2. We started an impromptu Harry Potter marathon. I’m loving it.
