Well concert 2 of 3 for this week is over. I'm going to be a zombie at work tomorrow.
My toddler has fifths disease. She has the rash now so I think it's almost over, but I feel bad because she hung out with her bestie like 3 days where she was contagious and we had no idea. 🙄. I hope they aren't mad at us if she gets sick.
But maybe that's why Em has been so grumpy lately!! Maybe it'll end with the virus!
Or she's just a toddler.

Fingers crossed it’s the virus cornpop and not toddleritis. I hope she feels better soon though |

Baby is being a dick who won’t let me sleep more than 20 minutes intervals.

I know sleeping on their belly is supposed to be okay once they can get there on their own. But omg it scares me every morning when I wake up and see her like that. I seriously panic until I go into her room and make her move. I don't think Em switched to belly sleeping this early...

Also, speaking of Halloween costumes, I really wanted to do Rainbow Bright because I thought the baby would look so cute as the white puff ball thing, but they apparently don't actually make rainbow bright costumes anymore. It makes me sad.

It makes me sad. That would be so cute! Maybe you can try to find someone on Etsy that could make it? I know care bears, my little pony, and strawberry shortcake are back from the 80s. Is rainbow bright? |

Is rainbow bright? I actually think I can pull it together myself. I found a no-sew tutorial on the Rainbow Brite costume for the toddler, and I think I can figure something out for my H and I that wouldn't b too difficult. The hardest part would be making the Twink costume for N. |

The other day ds told me he wanted to be a lion. So right away I was like "yes! Wizard of oz family costumes!"
Today he absolutely wants nothing to do with a lion costume and says he wants to be a weasel?

Okay, I got Elle's lamb costume and I'll just need to take off the ears. And I found a "rainbow cutie" costume for Em that is essentially Rainbow Brite. So I just need to find a pink dress for myself, a lightening bolt short for the H and make the belts for me and Elle.
I AM SO EXCITED GUYS.
Expect so many pictures come November 1st.

Today he absolutely wants nothing to do with a lion costume and says he wants to be a weasel? I've been down this road before. Including the year he had a complete 180 on the day of Halloween about not wanting to be a penguin after all. I pretty much wrestled him into the costume (not my finest parenting moment) and in all of his pics he was the saddest penguin you ever saw, lol. Halloween costumes are not a thing I plan too far in advance for exactly this reason ETA the pic because I couldn't resist 😂 . |

Last year he decided to be a thunderstorm pretty early and continued to insist until the day of. I worked my ass off to make the damn thing and then he he chickened out of trick or treating at the last minute. |

I saw a skunk costume at Carters and immediately thought of getting it for DS and calling him Pepe LePew. How hard do you think it’ll be to convince DD to be a black cat? I’m not very good with family themed costumes. I’m going to be Penelope Clearwater from Harry Potter again this year since my band is playing Harry Potter as our big piece for our Halloween concert this year.

Halloween is SRS BSNS at our house. I need everyone to agree on a theme so I can start looking for costumes. We’re throwing around pirates and knights/ladies/dragons.
I also found out today that I paid $1.75 to my hospital instead of $175. Woof.

We already have some form of costumes picked out since we’re going to Disneyworld in October. Not sure if I want to use the same ones for Halloween here. Mostly because part of our group won’t be here to do it.

I just asked DS1 what he wants to be when he grows up and he said an only child. That is what he was last year we just painted a shirt that said only child. It was lame. I think I just convinced him to be a fireman and maybe I can find a Dalmatian outfit for DS2.
I survived my first days back at work for the school year. Next week students return. On top of work starting back up we are officially moving soon so now I get to add that to my craziness.

I bought Christmas jammies but haven’t thought about Halloween for single second. I want to try to do family costumes, if I can think of something. +whatever to seeing pics of the finished costumes cornpop! They’re going to be so cute! |

DS1 is insisting on being Marshall again. I am trying to convince him to be something else so at least the two of them have some sort of theme, if not all of us. The kid has never watched an episode of Paw Patrol so I don't know why he cares.

H was going to take L with him to Lowe’s this morning so I could have some me time. He put him in the car seat and he pooped. So he changed his diaper, put him back in... and he pooped again. H had to get going then so instead of me time, I got to clean up a blowout and then entertain a fussy baby. He did take almost an hour nap though, so that helped.

clementine isn’t that the way it goes?? Dh went biking with a friend this morning...he’s been gone 4 hours now. I enjoy being the only adult here now that he’s wfh, but I’m tired of adulting. I want to sleep and I want to either do nothing or actually accomplish something on my to do list. In other news, baby still thinks nights are for screaming. Last night he was up 4 times to eat and took two hours to settle at bedtime. Dumb.

I got about 4.5 hours of sleep last night and the toddler is being sassy and yelling at me for everything. Of course it happens on a day H is working night shift and he won’t be awake till 2. I need backup! ... and coffee
