thunderenterprise, we might have the same granite in our kitchen! I'm only working until 3:00 today (not that I have that much to do anyway) and I'm taking tomorrow off. My mom is coming into town for a few days and we'll keep Faith out of daycare the rest of the week and save a bit of money. Of course I just spent $50 online at Carter's for some fall/winter stuff (plus a few 18m pieces that are on clearance). Yesterday I washed all of the 9 month hand me downs and sorted through what we had and what we needed. My mom found some $4 leggings and jeggings at JCPenny last night so she got 9 and 12 month in grey, back and "denim". I will have to do another inventory but I think other than 1-2 nice outfits and sleepers we will be set for her 9 month clothes. I might need to get more winter stuff because her 9 month will need to work for early fall (mild) and early winter (cold, stupid Ohio winters). I need to figure out what type of coat I'm going to get since she can't wear a heavy one in her car seat. I'm thinking of buying/making a car seat poncho and layering flannel and fleece to make it toasty warm and then maybe a light weight sweatshirt type jacket to wear underneath or when it is just a little chilly outside. Here are two pictures from this week. The neon dress is from Sunday before we went to church, the onsie isn't a great picture of her, but I wanted to show of the shirt I made her. I made this before I knew we were pregnant with her and I gave it to DH the day I found out I was pregnant. She wore it to day care yesterday and OF COURSE had a massive blowout. Fortunately a little "power washing (our utility room sink sprayer is super hard), soaking in Dreft, and a hot water wash with bleach took out the stains.

Morning all! I have to share some of N trying her first watermelon, she just looked so cute    My absolute new favourite of the big two ❤️ DS insisted L take his old shirt when he got a new one!  We let the kids stay up to watch football on Saturday, so this was my 4th quarter 😍  And splash park date with my grandma this week!  |

So I didn’t end up posting here yesterday, but mostly I have to AW myself lol! We went to look at a used camper trailer yesterday (private sale) and H sat in the camper with the kids while I went out to talk offers AND WE GOT THE PRICE WE WANTED! I really wasn’t expecting them to go to our price but they didn’t come back with a counter when I asked lol! I’ve never done negotiations before I was feeling pretty proud of myself.
So we get to go pick it up tomorrow and should be able to try it out this weekend as we have a camping trip booked with friends!

We’re at another weight check. 12lbs11oz. She gained 9oz in 3 weeks. Still not what their ‘goal’ is, but best gain we’ve had.

Late to the party but want to play. tiffrobot, loooove the pic of your oldest 2 and the 4th quarter one - so sweet! We leave tomorrow/today (thurs) for our annual camping trip with another family we love. It’s so much fun and I’m excited but overwhelmed by the packing! Here are my boys. 6 months and 2.   |

I had a crappy day yesterday so I was too frustrated to chat. My vans AC wasn’t working so I had it fixed on Monday. Well it is working again so I brought it back. It’s going to cost more money and they don’t have the part so I have to bring it back today. I am alone with both kids all day so unless I walk home with them, I have to sit at the mechanic so they can fix it and I can drive home. The walking home isn’t so bad. It’s a little over a mile. It’s that I would have to them walk back to pick up. It’s hot and the baby isn’t supposed to be in the heat with his helmet on. Ugh. This is so freaking annoying.

aprilz81 I have found that blue dawn dish soap works pretty well to take out poop stains (just pour it on and let it sit then wash it) and if that fails then I will put it out in the sun for a couple of days. We are heading out camping this weekend too! Off tomorrow and overwhelmed at work so I can't stay to play but I wanted to check in and see the not so little squishes! Happy weekend everyone!

aprilz81 I don't know if this was already covered, but caraway ponchos are awesome! My mom made one for DS when he was little, and it kept him toasty warm all winter (Nova Scotia). It is made with 2layers of polar fleece and we layered it with his regular clothes plus a polar fleece zip up, hat and mittens. If you think that you will be going outside to play, you might want a snow suit though. Once DS was consistently walking everywhere, we moved on to a thin down coat for trips in the car.

But our winters can be pretty drizzly and windy. Have fun picking your fleece! Here's a pic of the cool dude back in 2014 (1.5 years old):  |
