Vans are also great for wider feet! A little pricey, but they hold up amazingly. And they're so cute - Chase's current pair is black with flames. He's so tough, haha.

I love keens @dapstrophe! They are perfect for warm weather when school requires closed toed shoes. That’s what my daughter wore in South Florida to preschool.

vino I just got B measured the other day and he has an extra wide foot. The only sneaker that came wide enough was the asics in an extra wide. Sucks losing out on all the options, but glad I finally have an accurately fitted shoe!!

Ran to pick up a changing dresser today and that crosses the last thing off my list that I needed for baby! We are on our way to Lumber Liquidators to look at luxury vinyl plank for the basement and then off to soccer this afternoon. It's a beautiful day to sit outside, thank goodness!

Giovanna is having a friend over today that has never been over. So I’m scrambling to make everything look super clean because I’m sure her mom will come in for a few minutes at least to scope out where her daughter will be for a few hours.... any one else do this 😂

We just got home from the Cape. C wants to go for a bike ride so I’m going to do that and then take a nap while Dh parents. C slept all over me last night so I didn’t sleep well.
I almost took a pic of my MILs dinner last night. It was the worst yet. It was some sort of casserole made with chunks of chicken, broth, canned green beans, and stove top stuffing. With a side of stale dinner rolls and expired Diet Coke. Best part was it turned out to be completely raw so we ended up eating horrible rice a roni she made for the kids. Needless to say Dh and I decided on Cheesecake Factory takeout for dinner tonight as a palate cleanse.

Hi! Took a stroll into town to look at the flower floats, have coffee and to let the kids have a ride on the fair. They won some silly prices and loved the merry go round. In the afternoon my parents, my sister and her boyfriend came over for drinks. I made some nice bbq snacks, Asian style prawns, pork belly&apple - mozzarella&tomato skewers, olives, veggies with dips. It was nice.

It’s a lazy Sunday here. I didn’t get to the gym at all last week, so I have plans to go today. I also need to meal plan for the week and get to the grocery store.

Omg wedding, that sounds awful! Has anyone ever told her that it’s terrible? This is so interesting to me, like...she’s got to know that that is not a good home cooked meal.

Back from a successful trip to the shoe store; J got Nike sunray’s, B got Converse, with laces he’s so excited, and a pair of Nike sunrays as well, and just when we were going to pay MH found some Birkenstocks. Good bye money.

This is good to know for J’s feet; because of course she’ll be a completely different foot when I’ve saved the good sandals and shoes from B.

I put off a project for today and now I'm regretting it. It is taking forever. I just want to do nothing today at work but this has to be done by Monday. I'm only half way done.

I just woke up from a 2hr nap but it feels like it was only 30min. E is still sleeping because he didn't nap more than 10min the last 2days and awoke early

We cancelled all of our visitors and the 5 of us ALL took a nap. Amazing. Now we are outside. I'm feeding A on the porch with a beer. Love it.

Greetings from vacation. Today is our last day and we leave tomorrow at the butt crack of dawn. The kids have enjoyed themselves and the food has been surprisingly good for an all-inclusive. Z has self-potty trained on this trip. She hasn't peed in a diaper the whole trip except once during nap. She even has stayed dry over night. This is nuts. Pooping has been 50/50 though but she's way further along than O was even a year ago! lol
I posted a bunch of pics on fb for those who are friends with me there. I'm not looking forward to going back to work. We are up in the air on how many staff we'll have next year and I kinda hope we downsize a bit so I can get rid of the dead weight and have a stronger team. Its so hard to manage all these freeloaders and get people to do work.

Between snoopmommymom's Z and trtlcrzy's S, I think we might start pushing Chase with PTing. He's in a class that uses the potty now and he uses it 1-3 times a day there, but we haven't really pushed it at home.

Cadence got her hair trimmed this morning. Most probably can't even tell it got cut, but I freaked when I saw the hair falling. It's probably only an inch or two. They also painted her nails, which she thinks is great. Grocery store and a trip to the park and now we're back home relaxing. I've got laundry to do and I want to paint the parts to Cadence's dress up station I'm building.

vino I don’t get MIL either. I think she believes this is passable food. From the grounds of it Dh grew up on Elios pizza and kraft Mac and cheese. His brother and wife cook similarly to MIL. It’s edible but so bland and all processed. This was one of MILs worst but there have been many pink turkeys on holidays and overdone beef that no one comments about. Even last night Dh brought it up and she simply put it back in the oven. And Dhs brother still ate it after it cooked more! Meanwhile I was sanitizing everything before we all die of salmonella. The only edible thing she makes are cheesy potatoes (although a bit oily). Oh and corn. She makes a good corn on the cob.

It's taking everything in me to let Cadence help paint. I know it's for her, but we don't share the same vision. Oh well, I'm letting her paint the sides, so you won't see that part as much.

I napped Dh took C to get a toy for being good at the birthday parties. Then I built a patio table that we’ve had for weeks but it was too old to build. Well I stupidly rotated it instead of getting up to move around it and I scratched the top on the deck floor. So annoying but typical me. I will have Dh build the chairs.

Hi all. We had a fun time at the waterpark hotel and we’re all exhausted. We played outside once we got home since most of the snow melted while we’ were gone. We’re Grilling some chicken kabobs for dinner and hopefully getting the kids to bed early. Then we need to pick up the house for the cleaning lady tomorrow. And I need to finish laundry so we can pack ourselves and get the kids packed to go to my parents while we’re gone to Sonoma this week!

Ugh, a sick dog and now two sick sons. And the stupid dog vommed everywhere I have carpet. Why can't he vomit on the hardwood or the tile? Is that too much to ask?? Never fails. I have very little carpet but Sinny always manages to get it.

Hi girls! Thanks for all the birthday wishes. It was a crazy busy day because I threw a party for my sister since I missed hers when I was in the hospital last month. Happy birthday to L, @sands! Glad you have had such a great trip, snoopmommymom. "Wedding that food sounds abominable! And dangerous. Re: the RSPCA story, I know you have work with shelters in the past. Have you ever thought of trying to get on the board for a local org or in some kind of volunteer capacity for a non-profit?
