So. It's Saturday night. We have itty bitty babies. And a lot of us have toddlers too. Any ideas on fun activities to feel like we have something to look forward to?
Take out food?
Animated movie night?
Let's hear all the ideas!

My friend is coming over and we are ordering pizza & wings! She’s going to help me wrangle the children and part take in an alcoholic drink after. I can’t wait for some girl time!
I love take out!

I would looove a night of just H, the baby and I sitting on the couch watching some show. His brother has been in town the past week so we’ve been socializing with his family every. night. Too much socializing.

My new fun activity when I am home alone with the kids is popping popcorn and watching a movie. They get so danged excited for popcorn haha!
A special night for DH and I is actually managing to agree on a movie (this NEVER happens so our compromise has been binging Homeland). DH and I also never agree on takeout (the man hates Chinese food. Who the f*** did I marry?!) but on special nights he will bring home fancy cheese and bread from his grocery store and we will snack on that and drink wine.

MH did something that really pissed me off last night which was large part of the reason why I didn’t sleep much. I am barely speaking to him at the moment. It’s his D&D night so it’s on me to put the baby to bed and do anything kid related. Since I will be alone and I am too exhausted to do anything I want to do, it will be bedtime for me when little man falls asleep.

I made what I call a "bar food dinner." Wings and black bean dip with all the fixins and tortilla chips. So junk food basically.
We put a blanket down in the living room to eat as an indoor picnic and watched Daniel Tiger.
We are exciting. DH did have a couple drinks.
ETA: I just got in bed!

Thanks helloerrbody and sweetsurprise we don’t really argue or fight much but he was being an insensitive asshole last night and he knows it. Not that anyone needs to know but as we were getting ready for bed last night I asked him why he didn’t do a part of the prep work for the night. Ya know the same thing he has done every night since I came home with the baby. He responded with “why is it on me to remember to do everything.?” 😡 I do 26384638483 more things that he does in the house. He basically made it sound like I don’t do anything. I’m sorry your house is clean, your meals are cooked and your children are cared for. Clearly it’s not enough. 🙄 He has attempted to make it up to me and I want no part of it right now. Sorry for venting. |

We were going to watch a movie tonight with DD but she decided she wanted to play with her trains. She rarely turns down a chance to watch a movie.

Baby is finally in bed. He fought sleep pretty hard. I just finished folding my 3rd load of laundry for the day. I’m now indulging in Fiber One lemon cookie bites. Exciting times over here.

Lol just kidding. Apparently I am running up and down 2 flights of stairs being what amesie calls the binky bitch. He has now spit it out and cried for it twice already. I am so out of shape that going up and down the stairs has actually made me sweaty. |

I am looking forward to being able to start up TV night with DH again once James start sleeping better at night. Right now I go to bed too early to do the TV nights. DH and I watch a show a few nights a week. Right before the baby was born, we finished the latest season of House of Cards. We need to find a new show to watch.

I can't wait until they can start putting the binky back in their mouth themselves! |

Well we failed. Dinner wasn’t ready until after toddler went to bed so we are just watching Netflix in the living room per usual. I’m actually about to crawl in bed. |

We watched part of Pitch Perfect 3 while I played human pacifier to a fussy baby. This stage is annoying, when they are fussy in the evenings, and won’t cuddle up and fall asleep. Pre baby sometimes DH and I would have snacks and play battleship or mastermind or hell, do a jigsaw puzzle after the kids went to bed. We’re so wild and crazy. 😂 #nerdsforlife
