I'm here! We have two showings this morning so I'm trying to get as much ready to get out as possible.
Going to have a late breakfast with my aunt and then, I'm going to attempt to take the kids with me to get my nails done. Somehow I have a feeling that last part will be disastrous and not happen.

Wow you’re a brave woman, guster. Is this your mom’s sister you’re seeing? How is she doing? I’m sorry for the snow nam2013. Do y’all get much normally? I’m so over winter. |

Morning!
I’m currently herding cats (aka getting the kids dressed), then I think C and I will do some errands while B is at school.
We are getting our dining chair and china cabinet back today, hooray! I’m ready to get everything put back and out of my guest room.

Good luck with the showings! And even more good luck with the nails, lol. Please let us know how that goes, I'm trying to picture having my two with me for something like that. |

Lots of snow here too. A lot of schools are cancelled. I'm back to work, feeling tired because of a rough night with L. I finally got her settled on the couch and slept with her there which helped, poor thing was so sad and miserable she just needed someone with her I think. She woke up puking from coughing at one point, I felt so bad for her. Of course this morning she was dancing, laughing and looked super refreshed! I...do not look refreshed.

wineallthetime I'm happy L has been he skills to recover well after a night of partying too hard. Hopefully you'll get a nap today. Not that cold here. It's been in the mid 40s to mid 50s. And actually some sun during our vampire season. We watched the rest of Mary Poppins last night. The girls loved it. Unfortunately the new movie doesn't come out until the end of the year. We also watched some Olympics and they were big fans.

guster, what do you plan on having the kids do while you get your nails done? iPad? I’ve taken mine (as babies) while having pedicures bc that’s easy and I would just hold the baby. I also got lucky a couple times w C taking a stroller nap while I had my nails done.

Not much on for me today. I had a meeting invite from my boss, for next week. It’s for my performance review. I’ve never had a 1 to 1 meeting w her, about anything! So I’m a bit nervous, I have absolutely no clue as to what she is going to say. Fx that it’s good!

Happy Friday ladies! guster I can't even imagine taking Evie with me to get my nails done, let alone two! You're a brave woman! Although maybe you could get J a mani too to keep her entertained? wineallthetime I'm glad L is feeling better this morning! inthekitty We watched some of the Olympics last night too. I felt so bad for the male ice skater, Nathan Chan, who fell. The announcers just kept going on and on about how bad it was, how he's never skated like that, etc. Quit making him feel awful about it and move on. Everyone has a bad day, it's just too bad it was at the Olympics! Our temps are supposed to fall today. We are supposed to get snow tomorrow. I'm hoping it holds off until later in the afternoon because we are taking Evie to see Disney Live and it's about 45 minutes from our house. |

inthekitty ds loves mary poppins! flamingo we get snow every now and then, if we’re really lucky we can skate on the canals. And yes that looks every bit as quaint as you think it looks 😉.

Just leaving now. Already thinking Target instead of nails. There's coffee; the kids are easily entertained there; we need pretzels and Josie wants a new nightgown (?), but maybe I'll feel brave.
Yes, the same aunt. She is one month past her prognosis and her 80th Birthday is next week. She had a lot of swelling, and the steroids gave her horrible scary rage so she spent a week in the hospital trying to figure out what combinations of steroids and antipsychotics she needed til the swelling went down. It did, and she's off the latter now, and surprisingly doing much better. I know she has an appt with her neurosurgeon this afternoon to see when they can de-bulk the tumor again.

I also got lucky a couple times w C taking a stroller nap while I had my nails done. I actually have no idea. I think Josie will be happy to sit next to me and talk to me about what's happening -- she loves to have her nails done at home, but I haven't brought her for a professional manicure, yet. . I have two phones with me. I have lots of snacks, and they usually have a concert on at the nail salon so I'm hoping that that might entertain Charlie enough. And, I'm not getting gel so I should be done in 20 minutes. |

No snow here, but starting this afternoon we will get rain and it’s supposed to continue into the weekend. Boo.
I’m dropping M2 off then in to work. TGIF. I shouldn’t be too busy today so I hope I can do a little online shopping. M2 needs the next size up so I’ll be putting some stuff in my cart until I go through M’s old stuff to figure out what I need.

Morning! Schools are closed and so are all the play gyms, so I am home with all the babies today. I might try and get them out on the ice rink for a bit and we are going to make some envelopes for their valentines. I have some kraft paper they can stamp. Gotta keep them busy so we all survive a long snowed-in weekend 😉

Morning! C gave me two long stretches last night and I feel so good this morning! Ah, sleep! Dh grabbed her from bed and took her with him to walk ry to school so I could sleep a little longer. Super sweet, but since she slept better last night and didn’t eat as much my boobs are ready to explode, lol! Hopefully he get home soon. I have no idea what we’re doing today. I got our newborn photos back so I need to start putting together our baby announcements. tallb were you the one looking for a purse? I saw this and thought of you. I follow this boutique on insta and have ordered from them a few time and really like their stuff!!  |

mwhip, I didn't see Chan's fall but read about it (I was passed out by then), but I was so routing for him. In the pre-Olympics commercials the clips of him when he was around 10 saying he was going to be in the 2018 Olympics warmed my black heart. I go all in on the Olympics and get sucked into all the stories and scandals. At least from the photos they've shown, they picked another effing location without much snow!!! The IOC is so inept. I think there should be permanent locations for the games in each hemisphere that is based solely on where they have the best options for weather/ability to keep up the infrastructure, but that different nations still host each event. But that would make sense...

Ok I have a dumb question for moms with girls. Charlotte has a bunch of cute dresses, but is she suppose to wear anything under them, like a diaper cover? It’s too warm here for tights. Are diaper covers a thing or do I just do a diaper and the dress?

It is super cute, I’m considering getting it! But I shouldn’t because I just bought a new diaper bag that will be my main purse for the foreseeable future. cagoldi and peachsmama the description also says it’s vegan! |

xolastunicornxo not me, but that is super cute! I have been using my big black Longchamp bag for years.. it's such a work horse of a bag and fits everything. And doesn't show dirt. It could use a wash now that I think about it though..

It looks like Carter's has some. I like outfits that include them, but not always the case. Since it's cold here, I do leggings under dresses most of them time, too cold for tights at school and too much of a hassle. |

Are diaper covers a thing or do I just do a diaper and the dress? Yeah, there are little bloomers or whatever. Generally the dresses will come with one, if not just use a different one. There are also times where we wouldn't both with a diaper cover. It could really go either way. |
