Hi All! It is Friday afternoon which is basically almost the weekend, so I thought I'd get the weekend thread going early TGIF! What is everyone up to this weekend?

We have half days on Fridays so instead of being productive I’m laying in bed watching House Hunters Renovation.
Tomorrow night we got a babysitter so DH and I are going to go to dinner and maybe a movie. Sunday we have an open house so we are going to take our dogs to doggie daycare and take the girls to the pool. We are going to be the palest people there. We haven’t been to the pool yet this summer plus DH and both girls are all gingers haha.

Has anyone given their LO a mum-mum yet? We started this week! Not sure how much she actually eats because I find soggy pieces under her chin, on her clothes and tightly gripped in her fist. She seems to like them though!

Ugh. DD1 was throwing up Tuesday night. She’s all better now, but now H and the baby were throwing up last night and i’ve been nauseas and achy. NO FUN.

Has anyone given their LO a mum-mum yet? Yup. I started them a week or so ago. I was going to wait until his teeth popped through but then I said forget it. He eats a little of it but mostly plays with it and makes a mess. Lol

Hi! I’m here. I have been busy. I did two loads of laundry, hand washed 2 pairs of my shoes, cleaned my floors and put together the baby’s new exersaucer. Now I am tired but I have to work tonight. Tomorrow MHs union is having a party that we are going to. It should be a lot of fun. Sunday I think we are just going to stay home and clean.

I caught the kids' cold that we can blame on my niece. She's lucky she's cute! I'm miserable.

Teething was rough on DD1. It didn’t seem to affect DD2 and 3 except for molars. Totally seems to be kicking DD4’s butt. Overall she’s still a happy girl, but you can tell she is uncomfortable. And she sleeps worse now than she did for the last five months. I shouldn’t complain because we had it good, but man I’m tired.

I have been giving the baby mum mums or puffs at dinner. He loves it and it keeps him occupied but does make a mess. We fly home today after vacation. Fun but exhausting

I am so done with smelling and cleaning up vomit. So done. All three other members of this family have been throwing up the past few days. I got away with nausea, chills and body aches. I really think there should be a service where people come in with hazmat suits and take care of all laundry/bleaching/bathroom cleaning/floor cleaning when everyone in the house is sick.
You know what’s not fun? Cleaning up vomit from INSIDE A PLAY TENT.
Ok. Rant over. Time to never talk about that again.

I'm so sorry bassa! Hope the worst of it is over for y'all. ajetter she is SOOO precious. What a fab picture you got! Both boys are napping (YES!), and I'm just being lazy on the couch. Last night it was TV and wine. We'll go to church this evening. I teach Sunday School in the morning and then I'm going to my birthday brunch with 10 of my best girlfriends!! I can't wait!!

I am an emotional mess right now. No idea where it came from.
H took DD to the park and J is sleeping in my arms. I keep looking at him and getting emotional because I know these cuddles won’t last forever 😢

We had a perfect day. I am finally getting over the anxiety of dragging 3 kids 3 and under out and about. DH worked today, so I took the kids to the farmers market. It is a big space with a lot of people, and keeping track of 3 kids all alone was challenging, but oh my gosh they had so much fun. It was so worth it! Then we came home and they napped and they ran through the sprinkler in the front yard all afternoon.

I’m officially about to sleep train DS. He’s absolutely making me insane. I feel bad for everyone else in my house like my sisters who won’t get any sleep the next few nights but I’m a literal zombie and need sleep like NOW.

dragonflyinn when you can no longer function it’s really worth it. I hate sleep training, but a few tough nights generally lead to everyone being happier.

Yesterday we went to a friends house who has a large steepish hill in their backyard. They turned it into a giant slip in slide. Like 80 feet of tarp. The kids lathered up in soap and went to town. It was hilarious and they had so much fun. Maybe not the safest activity, but nobody got hurt and my kids were exhausted from running up the hill over and over and over again.
Today they are having a VBS celebration at church, with a picnic lunch and bounce houses and such. Then we plan to go swimming and boating at my parents house. Trying my best to completely wear them out I guess.

I did a lot of reading and I’m not sure if he needs actual sleep training or a more gradual night-weaning from one of his many overnight feeds. I did a little Ferber for an hour or so last night and it didn’t work so I fed him (but not a full feeding as per the night weaning instructions) and he slept 5 hours. So idk. I remember when DD was this age she was doing the same thing but I don’t remember it being this difficult to get back to good sleep.

Thanks for all the well wishes! Looks like the virus is finally gone.
Today we went to a bday party for H’s friend’s 1 year old. We got there right at 1:00, when it started, which apparently was too soon because the family was still decorating and it took awhile for any food to show up. Just funny because usually it’s a struggle to get H and the kids anywhere on time, and this time we did, and....probably shouldn’t have.

Hi guys! So I'm here. Apparently that week long weird aching pain in my muscles was just a virus. My PCP ran bloodwork on Tuesday that showed serious inflammation in my muscles but, no reason why. We were off all week which is why I was mostly MIA. Os dedication went well. Wed we tackled the beach and Fri we went to Dutch Wonderland which was a BLAST. Yesterday we sprinkled a friend having their second baby, a girl and 6y after their DS. So that was fun. I gave her NB diapers we didn't use and two boxes of hand me downs bc she was looking for 6mo cold/cool weather clothes. Last few nights I've been pulling O into bed with me around 2 because I've been so tired and achy from being sick /on the run. Bad habit but I love it so damn much. Easy as pie and snuggles with my little mommys girl. Tomorrow is the girls first day at their regular care center. 😭 I know they'll both do great and it'll be good to get into a routine. MH are hoping we can put some regularly around WFH so that the division of housework and morning routine is handled better. We do bottles and lunches at night so it's just showers, dressing the girls and feeding everyone that takes forever. Pics: How Liv loved the amusement park Out to breakfast before DW In my happy place at the beach. Liv had her toes dipped by her Mom- mom (my parents met us down there) and she didn't TOTALLY hate it. But I let her get splashed a bit and she wasn't a fan 🤣 Practicing sitting on the table at the restaurant My big in the ocean. She LOVES the ocean. Scared to meet the princess @ DW
