I got Cadence all new shorts, pajamas and leggings. She needed 6s. Her shoes vary from 10.5 to 11. I bought some cute sandals for Easter, but had to return them because they were way to big, even though they were 11s and the shoes she is wearing today are 11s. Go figure. Her shirts are all 5/6, no more Ts. Luckily she is still in dress mode and those she can wear longer by just throwing leggings underneath. DNW to have to buy all new school uniforms right now. So I'll stretch those until they are obviously too small.

I am glad that many of you have help from your families! Jealous... but very glad I actually have a friend and both her and her H’s parents are divorced and remarried to other people. And they ALL live in our town so they literally have 4 sets of grandparents who all love watching their boys. Jackpot. Aww that’s was nice of you to say jewels! I wish my IL’s would come around. They are nice- just not very motivated I guess. I’ve actually never even met MH’s stepdad. Just his mom. And his biological dad has never really been in the picture. peachsmama No. They aren’t involved with the older kids either. MH actually called his parents losers the other day which surprised me. It’s probably an accurate description though.

Just got done at the chiro. My hip flexor on the right is super tight so I’m supposed to stretch it a lot. I have a follow up appt next Tuesday. We will see how the 5k walk goes this weekend. The office is really close to H’s preschool so now I’m sitting outside like a creeper for 20 minutes until I can pick her up.

Waves hi vino ! I have'nt caught all the way up on yesterday yet, but I wanted to welcome you back! I had a big extended family and lots of cousins too, and I also get sad that my kids won't experience that. Hey lady! How's it going!? I see that you've started nesting and it's brought you to your basement, how's the purge and organization going? I love me some purging and organizing. I'm still in the hellish "no end in sight" stage of the basement purge. I know if will feel great when it's done, but omg. Good to see you back!

I'm just dying, wineallthetime, he really is so precious!! Re: parents and their levels of helpfulness. Both my parents and ILs have been pretty helpful at times and seem to enjoy their time with the boys. My parents are almost 2 hours away so they can really only cover us on weekends since they still work. My ILs live about 45 minutes away but both work somewhere in between, so they can just stay at our place and drop the kids before work and pick them up after. When we went to CA last year for 10 days, my parents covered the weekends and my IL's the week in between. It was pretty ideal because no one was on duty 24/7 for an extended period of time. My ILs were freaking amazing watching the boys while we were in NOLA under less than ideal circumstances, but then my FIL had a massive heart attack so maybe we should avoid THAT in the future. I've tried to keep an "enjoy it while it's lasts" mindset because they're getting older and my parents are potentially moving in another year. Both my parents and now my FIL are not in great health, and my MIL can't watch the boys solo for any length of time because she gets bad stress migraines. Maybe it won't matter much as they get older, who knows? But I'm glad for all of us that they've had so much dedicated time in the last year or two.

It was one of those Bjorn bouncer chairs that everyone I know raves about and it was on sale at Target. It still feels like I bought it for someone else though.

joelies i think ‘enjoying it while it lasts’ is a great mindset. As you’ve seen, a trip to Costco can change everything. I do think as our kids get older and require less physical energy and hands-on caretaking, the grandparent relationships can evolve. I’m always so impressed by my dad—he thinks nothing of grabbing a car seat and taking B out for a day of errands, mini golf or a movie, lunch, etc. I hope B will have really good memories of the times he spent with his Papa. It does make me glad that we had kids early in our marriage vs waiting a long time so that my parents are still in good health and can be more hands on.

So the giant, possibly rabid skunk we keep seeing in our backyard is back. Except I think it's dead... I'm not trudging through the snow to find out.

I hope it works out for you guys. She is a black lab puppy from a rescue that takes animals from high kill shelters and places in fosters until they find homes. The foster family has a 3 year old that the dog has been with the past few weeks. They said our application looks good and we can move forward!

It was 55 degrees when I picked up the boys so we went to the park. Matthew wanted to go to the park that has sand. Jack wanted the monster truck one. So I tried a new park so no one "lost". M laid under the play set crying the first 20 minutes because there was no sand.

Black dogs are always the last to get adopted so good for you! She's in South Carolina and will be here next Saturday! The rescue brings dogs to your state so if it all goes well, I will set you up! I'm hoping it's not a scam, it was too easy.
