Our little one helped get the weekend started by crapping himself awake at 6 am. So that's fun. What's on your agenda?

Gm!!
We survived my first week back to work.
I have all the normal house chores... Laundry, tidying, etc. We want to get some gardening done to plant veggies, but we don't have a ton of soil.. So we have to plan some of that out. It's going to rain this afternoon and tomorrow it will be in the 60s so likely no pool or zoo this weekend.
Tomorrow my H volunteered to grill at a thing for our church to feed the homeless so we'll be busy with that around lunch time.

Good morning ladies!
I got up at 6 to shower before the kids woke up. Good thing I did to because the baby was up at 6:30.
We have all had breakfast, I cleaned up, swept the floors, mopped and put away laundry. Can I be done with the day?
MH is working until 2 so no break for me today. Maybe I will take them outside to play with the water table later.

It continues to be really hot so we plan to go to the pool today. Probably a pizza place for dinner

We Redboxed The Greatest Showman last night and I really enjoyed it! I had friends say it was really good and went to the theaters to see it multiple times. I was exhausted after a super busy work week and didn't want to go out so we had leftovers and watched a movie.
The lack of good naps caught up with Faith. She went to bed super easy at 8:00, DH did a dream feed when he went to bed, she slept until 6:00 and I brought her into our bed and then we both slept until 10:00 this morning. It was glorious!
DH is at a golf tournament with his Dad, MIL is coming over around 2:00 and then we will spend the rest of the day together. I'm hoping that Faith's extra sleep will make her a happy baby today.
We gave Faith some cereal last night and she just wasn't interested. It was super runny and mixed with formula... She just looked confused and it was really cute. We'll wait a a week or so and try again.

I took the kiddos outside for awhile. It’s super hot so we only stayed out for about an hour and a half. I *think* only one person from our board follows me on IG so it will only be repeat pics for that person.   |

marygracerich hi thats me! I love IG. I live in pictures. so I got gardening done! I can't find my phone, but I'll take pictures. We planted watermelon, tomato, pepper, heirloom straightneck squash, and cucumber. I thought I had picked up a zucchini too, but I didn't, so I might need to go back to Lowes and pick one up because I love zucchini in the summer. I also planted lemon balm, separated out some basil and put some in with the tomato and some in a pot for the kitchen, and planted my parsley into a proper container. The citronella geranium is in a pretty pot already so I just watered it. I started some lavender seeds too but idk how they will do. I'm not great with gardening. I think I could be if I focused solely on it, so in a few years when I am not so focused on kid needs I'd like to really try to upkeep my own garden with tons of different stuff. But this will be fun, I've done tomato and pepper before, and herbs are easy for my kitchen windowsill. Liv is napping, my big is hanging with DH, and I am just catching up on homework. Thankfully I barely have any for this week at school, because I am totally wiped from my first week back.

It's yucky out. Liv was outside with us the whole time and napped a bit, probably from the warmth (she was in the shade). I had her in her sit me up and then I noticed her slumped because she fell asleep! So we switched her to the bouncer and I added a little clip on battery fan to keep her cool.

Why can’t G just take a nap?!!! She played outside in the heat for more than an hour and played in the house all morning. Shouldn’t she be tired?!

Liv loves to pull things over her face. She loves fuzzy blankets and her lovey all right up in her face. It's adorable and yet... it drives me nuts!

I unsuccessfully tried to get DH and DS to leave right when V fell asleep so I could really get some quiet moments at home by myself but they stalled so now she is starting to wake up and they haven't been gone long!
We went to a local park/beach this afternoon and that was nice. This morning was just errands. I've jacked up my foot/ankle somehow so I want to run but I may put it off. Tomorrow we might do a play date with some friends and then going to my parents' for a dinner for my grandfather....he turns 90 on Wednesday!

We are ditching the rnp tonight. Someone pray for me. This kid is already staying up late. Now changing sleeping arrangements? Yikes.

We might be signing a lease to a house soon. FX this works out, I would love to have a backyard for the summer! I am trying not to get my hopes up. I’ll know tomorrow if anyone else is ahead of us when we submit our application. H was being cute too, saying this would be the first house he ever lived in (he’s Italian, sooo Houses are $$ and rare in Italy).

Good morning!
I have a bunch of stuff I want to get done today. Little man can now roll in both directions so putting him down anywhere is a challenge lol.
I want to hang some stuff in G’s room and do some cleaning. We also have to bring G for a haircut. That’s not going to be fun. She isn’t a fan of haircuts.
Anyone want to come and clean my bathrooms?! Anyone? No? Damn. Lol

Good morning! Faith slept soooooo much yesterday but was happy when she was awake so I'm not going to complain. I assume she was just catching up from a four days of not great sleep at day care. She slept from 8:00pm to 10am (dream feed at midnight), a 45 minute nap at noon, was awake less than an hour before falling asleep again until just before 5:00. She took another catnap around 6, bath quick trip for ice cream with grandparents then in bed and asleep a few minutes before 9.
I wondered if we would have a crappy night since she had so much sleep but it wasn't bad. She woke up at 3:30 and nursed then 6:00 for a bottle and she decided it was playtime for a bit before falling asleep in our bed with us again and sleeping until 9. I'm so glad the sleep regression is over!!!!
Since she was asleep so much I had a very productive day. Straightened up the clutter in the whole house, folded some laundry, dusted a few rooms, vacuumed upstairs and did some laundry. It has been awhile since I've been that productive. DH owes me since hew as playing all day watching pro golfers play on a course.

I just don’t want to lose her good sleep 😭! We did baby steps... 1 week(ish) in the RNP in the nursery, then a week(ish) going into the crib for several hours at a time, then full time. Maybe start with naps? |

We try pack n play downstairs for nap because big kid would wake him upstairs so far but maybe I need to keep it consistent. He will only nap 30-45 min in the pack n play too. I know he is capable of sleeping flat because he does it at daycare and when he's in our bed. |
