Morning! Back to reality, MH is going back to work. Somehow C keeps ending up in our bed at like 4am. That ends now! L's new wakeup time is 5:45 and it wakes C up and he's a cranky mess.

Back to the grind today. Ugh. I need to fast forward through these next two weeks with no weekends off.

This is my life today. MH left for work at 6. I got up at 545. Charlie woke up at 5:50, and not even five minutes later Josie was yelling to wake up. Thankfully, she's not cranky, but she is back to preschool to today. She is going to be exhausted tonight!!

Most people are back to work so the theaters won't be crowded.

She's not big into TV unless it's pop music videos haha. I'm taking them to Target and a pretty clean and usually empty play place I think. Hopefully we can get some energy out!

Lol wineallthetime at L only liking pop music videos on tv! Shes adorable! Thank god for day care being back in session today! It’s been a long 2 weeks! I was super excited to pass her off this morning. Lol. I have a trip to Walmart on the agenda today to pick up some stuff for MH to change the oil in the side by side. And trying to put my house back together after being gone and packing up Christmas ect. But most importantly, first I’m catching up on the Bachelor.

Morning! Team ready-for-school-to-start; just have to survive one more day. We are expecting snow tomorrow and Thursday, though; really hoping that does not put a damper on preschool resuming!
Today is DH's last day off so he's sleeping in this morning; other than grocery shopping I don't have much on the agenda today.

Help needed! Charlie takes off all of his shoes, except for mocs (which he won't wear with socks and can't be worn in this weather because of the soft sole). I have running sneakers and boots and casual sneakers, and he immediately pulls them (and then his socks) off. I know it's a phase, but it's cold outside and I usually find him in the car seat, after a ride somewhere, barefoot. ETA: I'm ordering a pair of hard soled mocs now, but I'd like a different option.

It's freezing here. -13 when I left my house. -9 by the time I got to work. Hoping the trend continues and it's at least 20 today.. My car is full of stuff to go to our storage unit but I don't want to stand in the cold unloading it.

So far the only thing I've found that prevented this is C's walking boot I never found a pair that B couldn't get off; he was also a kid who immediately removed socks/shoes in the car. C is this way, too; so far only mocs evade her but like you said, not really weather-appropriate. I just drape a blanket over her lap; sometimes that will distract her. Worst case scenario, because annoying, could he wear mocs in the car just to keep his feet covered until you reach your destination, then switch them for shoes and socks? Annoying b/c then you're standing there in the cold wrestling him into shoes again. Otherwise I'd just keep fighting the good fight, I guess.

guster my sitter is our only savior for shoes in the car. As soon as we would get in our car they would strip them off and say "In miss Jenny's car we leave our shoes on!" So I told them Miss Jenny said we have to keep them on in mommy's car too.. Took a few times but now they leave them on lol. Maybe try the stride rite beginner walking shoes. I know they are a lot softer than others but still are a real shoe. Maybe he doesn't like the tough material?

She will also chew on her socks after she gets them off so they're nice and cold and wet once we get somewhere...

I bought these UGGs right now, too. I think these will work because they go over his ankle.

Thanks for the ideas. Maybe I'll keep a pair of moccasins or even slippers in the car.

Morning ladies! Back at work for me. I made it through all my emails, well, I printed the ones out that require me to do something, so it's going to be a busy day.
Half of our office is our sick today. I'm glad I was gone last week so I missed all the germs. H wasn't feeling well when he left this morning, he thought he might throw up, but went into work anyway.

Back to normal today, thank goodness. Mh goes back to work today, so maybe my house can get back in order. I swear it was messier with him there all day. Cadence at least cleans up after herself.

J does this and it’s so annoying in the car when we get somewhere and i’ve got to stand outside trying to get her shoes back on in the cold. The worst. I put gloves on her and have started wrapping her legs and feet in a blanket, since she is RF I tuck the blanket tight behind the bar that is against the seat. That’s the only way I can trick her and she generally yells at me in protest.

I remember a phase with H where she would always take her shoes off in the car and it was so annoying. She did eventually grow out of it but I don’t remember when. Maybe try a pair of shoes that tie? New balance makes some that probably come in his size.

Morning! I am so freaking sore from working out. My throat still hurts and I still have a fever so this is going to be a long day. S is also coughing and has a fever. H doesn’t return to school until Thursday, but tomorrow is registration for next year. I think we’ve decided to put H into the 5, half day pre-k class and S in for 1 morning a week.

good morning. I'm at work and in bit of pain. But I'd be in the same amount of pain at home so I'll power through. I had a horrible nights sleep and woke up at 1:30 having a panic attack about our trip next weekend. Hopefully I am healed enough to enjoy it.

I thought my kid was the only weird one who chewed on her socks once she pulled them off! Glad we are in good company. She doesn’t do it as much anymore. But I still keep extr socks in the car just in case.

At work and kids are at school 👌👌. It's been real winter break, but I'm glad it's over.
Of course j woke up with a pretty bad cough and I bet he will be out sick soon.
