Whew, snowy and rough drive home. I'm in the CVS parking lot now eating reese eggs and jolly rancher jelly beans before heading home. The jelly beans are good, but don't compare to my latest addiction, skittles. So I'm kinda pissed I made the wrong candy choice. Out of curiosity, what is the appeal of skittles, the sour-sweet? I craved stuff like that during both my pregnancies. Airheads are another good one. I don't know what it is about a cherry Airhead but that is one of my favorite junky candies. Sour patch kids are my craving of choice this pregnancy

Got my wine and I'm snuggling on the couch with Colin watching the Rangers game. We're plotting to bake cupcakes tomorrow for DH sometime after skating and swimming. This kid may be mildly over scheduled.

I asked MH to order a giant tub from Amazon. He said he did and when they didn't come he admitted he forgot. I cried.

MH went to pick up food for us. I told him to call it in so he didn’t have to wait as long. Pretty sure he’s just drinking solo at the bar.

I cried. Nerds for me! I love them not pregnant, but I really love them pregnant!! And I’ve been devouring those branches valentine candy hearts. For every ounce of pregnancy weight I lose I probably gain two since I’m eating them by the handful.

sands42 The kitchen looks great! I like the backsplash a lot. You and your H did an amazing job and I know it was a ton of work. So worth it though!

Finished thank yous from Christmas and most of the laundry. Dinner is done and LO is taking his sweet time to eat it. C is not off work for another half hour and if traffic is still as bad as when I picked up LO then I won't see him until almost 900

Valentine's are done and now I can't remember if we ever did thank you cards for Christmas... Yikes.
Anyhow I've been trying to talk Colin into going back to pull-ups at night since he's having accidents more often than not. I told him this morning that no one was going to be mad and very quietly he asks "not even Dad?" Poor kiddo. So DH actually convinced him to put on a pull-up tonight and they talked about going back to underwear after a few dry nights. He was really quiet tonight but I *think* he was just really tired, but I guess we'll see in the morning.

MH will be out with his friends all day tomorrow so I get to occupy E for the day. He's been pretty great recently but high energy and won't stop talking so I hope I have the energy for it. There is a kid movie special at the theater but it's Peter Rabbit and it looks like one of those annoying behavior movies.

I....did not finish valentines. We managed to glitter bomb the dining room, stamp Theo, and almost ruin a brand new shirt by leaning on an ink pad (Shout spray FTW).
Round two is tomorrow. The kids are actually loving it and I'm happy with how they are coming out. Looks like we are in for two more days of snow anyway 😬

If so, we may never know what it is. I'm with xolastunicornxo on the conversation heart addiction. Ooh, and valentine dots. The best.

Is sending thank yous for Christmas something I should be doing? Like to family members? I have never sent, or received, a thank you for Christmas presents.

Actually, 5 or 6 years ago I received 1 and wondered if I should be sending them. I talked to a bunch of friends who all agreed Christmas/hannukah gifts were exempt from thank you cards

I only send thank you'd for Christmas if I didn't see the person and they sent a gift. Actually, now that I think of it, I didn't even send those this year. Oops.

I feel better now about maybe forgetting Christmas thank you cards. My MIL sends thank you notes for EVERYTHING so I'm overly concerned about them.

There are certain family members who make a big deal about it. I also include a picture of LO with Santa. I would only send to the ones who want/care about thank yous but it's only a few more so I just cover everyone.

I do not send thank you cards for Christmas unless it's a gift we receive in the mail.

I am spent. I'm getting into bed right now. I want to watch all the TV, but I want to fall asleep early, too. Such s conundrum. We're taking a chance and refusing all showings tomorrow. We all need an "all day" day at home, and it's supposed to rain all day so crafts, food and tv it will be!
