Hi! Sooooo busy today. I went to work for a few hours. Then I came home and had lunch. After lunch I napped and then went to the gym. I haaaaaaaaate working out so much.
After the gym I hung at home for a bit I then cooked dinner. After dinner MH did bedtime for the kiddos while I ran to Michael’s. All in all not a bad day.
MH is starting his D&D game and I am catching up here. I believe there is some Netflix and crafting in my future.

marygracerich what will you be crafting? DD3’s birthday party is tomorrow. I made edible candy sea glass today. Turned out pretty legit. The party is at my parents house because they have a pool. I was going to order a cake and have some ice cream and party favors and that’s it. But my dad is retired now and he and my mom have made decorations and food and I’m grateful but also like ok crazies. We have to stop throwing elaborate parties. I have four kids and with DD4 being so close to Christmas it just can’t happen all the time!!

marygracerich, do you ever make your own cross stitch patterns? There is something I want to cross stitch for DH someday but I'm sure it doesn't already exist out there. Although maybe I should look.

confirmed, I don't think there exists one for what I want. But maybe I do want to get into cross stitching, there are some awesome patterns out there. I would say "back into" but I probably haven't done it in 20 years! I feel like it would be nice and relaxing though.

I don’t. I have just started really getting into it over the past year. Etsy has a ton of patterns and you may be able to find someone that can make a pattern. I got my current one from a Pinterest link to Etsy.

Ummmm... Organizing the kid clothes?
I'm starting to feel overwhelmed though. We got a lot of hand me downs in size 2T. What I really want is literally to put it all on the curb and say here ya go!
But with kids we always need clothes etc and I'd rather try to resell anything we are done with or won't realistically use to just get some $ back.
Its almost 11... I'm going to call it a night by midnight.

We are camping and all I can say is being an EPer while camping is less than ideal. Pretty sure I flashed the neighbors while I pumped in the car. My kids are barely getting any sleep. I love how peaceful it is here but I also can't wait to go home.

marygracerich, ok, I'm going to start one. It is a Stranger Things quote that says "mornings are for coffee and contemplation." It will go in our kitchen! There are some cute Christmasy hygge designs too. This week I'm going to be prepping for DS's bday party (it's the one time a year I do a major cleaning!) so I'll start next week.

Did you find a pattern for it? I will say it’s way more time consuming than I would like but I think it’s because by the time I get to it, I’m so tired and don’t want to do it anymore. I had grand delusions of finishing this big one that I am doing by the end of the year. It’s not looking good. ETA: there are a ton of patterns with that saying on Pinterest.

Well I was able to pull the next size clothes for Liv and confirm that I don't have much in terms of fall -able clothes since E was 12-18 in the summer. And I condensed from 5 to 3 after pulling the above ^ plus anything that is too worn/ etc.
I want to consign at the jbf sale this fall but it's so much work to tag it all. Some of the nicer stuff I'm attempting to sell online via BST first but ultimately I want the space back. I'm not holding out. I usually volunteer with jbf but with not knowing when I start on my new team I'm hesitant to sign up.
My Sunday : Found a dying skunk outside my back door my in laws are now coming for dinner today instead of tomorrow My air condenser isn't working for my central and horizon won't be out until between 12-4 🙄

sunfrogger A dying skunk?? Noooooooo We have a political event that H is organizing later today. It’s at a bar, so it won’t be the worst. DD1’s 3rd birthday is a week from today. She is very insistent that she wants red, yellow and black balloons. And red and black flowers. She’s got opinions. 😂

Oh my there is so much poop now that the baby has started solid foods! We used to go a day or two and now it’s like every hour or two. So many diapers! I’ve some how suckered my husband into changing him the last 4 times.

marygracerich, I did find a pattern for it! The one I want to do for DH is "together forever" with a gingerbread person....there was this Shrek special where they said that in a creepy voice sort of and it's now our family joke....together forever. Maybe I'll just make it as a Christmas ornament for him or something!

I just finished making some chocolate chip cookies with DS. He was super excited to help mix the dough, but wasn't interested in putting it on the pans. It is so nice to have homemade treats.

I’ve heard that can be rough, hopefully it doesn’t last long.

It's rough. Did prunes work?
