I’ve been solo parenting since last night and the boys are conspiring to drive me crazy. C was up 3 times in the night, ds1 was awake from 1-2, and they are both whiny crabby messes this morning. Today involves cleaning, baby proofing, and maybe sneaking out to meet up with my childhood BFF if DH gets home early enough.

Sounds like last night was rough for a few of us. E was up from about 12:30-3. She’d fall asleep on me and then lose her shit when I put her back down. Luckily, we slept until 7 once she finally went down, so I got about 6 hours of sleep.
My MIL is visiting from out of town and has been the biggest PITA for the last few days. She’s the pickiest eater (as is SIL) so feeding them has been a nightmare. I’ve got a bit of a break today, though, because they’re not getting here until 3 and then we’ve got dinner reservations at 5:30. I’ll be relaxing until then!

We are relaxing in he hotel room. E has gone down for his next nap and N swam for two hours earlier so I won’t be surprised if he passes out too. This place is gorgeous but not necessarily great for young kids. Maybe if it was nicer outside, it’s rainy here, things might be a little different. Once E (or N if he sleeps) wakes up we are going to head out of the hotel to explore the area.

That sounds tough bethkate, as a very non picky eater I have trouble dealing with picky people! Going out for dinner sounds like a good idea. sarahandben108, sorry it's raining, that's a bit of a bummer! ldubhawksfan, have fun at the zoo, hope your feet are ok 😣 not ideal, but you won't be doing much fast walking, more a lot of standing. It's a bit hilly though.

Hello! We are on the road. 20 minutes into our 3.5 hour drive. I have a salted caramel cold foam cold brew and it is really good, although probably not going to be a regular order for me.
I am going to duck when I whisper: both kids slept until 730. I needed that so badly. I am excited to see the rest of the family today! Even though we have to come back home tomorrow. My parents said they would keep DD1 with them in their hotel room so that is one less kid to worry about!

Ds2 is down for his nap and dh has ds1 outside somewhere. I'm eating a late lunch and then will jump back into cleaning. So not much going on here lol. I've been getting rid of a lot of our "college" furniture and am going to start work on replacing it with grown up stuff. We've lived in our house for 4 years now and I'm just getting to do our bedroom and family room. The boys' rooms and the guest bedroom are done for the time being, but our room was always back burner.
I asked dh to make a bench to match our headboard so we shall see how that goes!

Look what your DH got himself into! We just ditched the man cave for a play room, I swear it was DH's idea. So we moved the bigger TV etc into our living room and had to get a new TV stand. We found an amazing real wood, super sturdy one with glass doors (🙄), for $200 on our used site! Used furniture is the best, way better quality stuff for cheaper than the big box furniture stores. We're on the lookout for some 4 cube Ikea bookcases for either side of the fireplace for storage. It's a bit of a weird room, there isn't a lot of wall space. Two doors plus French doors to the deck, two closets and a fireplace.

Hi everyone! I had lots of fun at the wedding- I decided on hair down until dancing and then I just threw it up in a pony. We didn’t get to bed until 1am and of course ds2 woke to eat and they were up for the day at 630. I let H sleep in today and I took a nap when the boys did this afternoon. I’m hoping I get to sleep in tomorrow though, I’m exhausted! DS1’s 4th Birthday is next weekend so I need to start preparing and finalize the food menu 😊

ldubhawksfan San Diego zoo? Omg so hilly. Great zoo though lol. Yep. It’s awesome. We went last Labor Day when I was pregnant and it was 100 degrees, and I remembered the hills. SIL FTW though. I texted her this morning and she’s a close size so she brought me a pair of hers!! We were beat and left around lunch. thatgolfb that would have been fun! Now date night at the game!

grumpycat, how perfect is that? I love it! ldubhawksfan, nice, glad you found some shoes and have fun at the game! We're home from the birthday party, DD was exhausted and passed out immediately in the car. I'm contemplating a nap myself!

Today is E’s baptism day! We’ve only got about 10 people coming over after, so it’ll be pretty low key, and I’m looking forward to it.
My plan for this morning is to keep E awake until mass at 10:30 and then hopefully get her to sleep in the lillebaby. FX

DH didn’t get home until late last night so my friend just came over after I put C to bed. MIL kept ds1 overnight because she is a saint and I love her. Anyway, my friend and I just sat on the couch, drank a couple glasses of wine, and talked for like 3 hours. It was so nice!
We have no plans for today except DH wants to go to Costco. We will have to think of something else to do- I’ve found that when we don’t have any plans and just hang around the house, ds1 becomes a holy terror.

Have a nice day bethkate! Sounds like a good night pootsen, I'm spoiled because I have a friend who comes over often after Jojo is in bed, but she's going to have a baby soon so we might have to alternate. And I feel the same way when I stay home all day, haha, I get squirrelly! Today I'm going for a hike with a friend, it's quite cloudy so I'm hoping it stays cool. I'm not sure if I'll take the baby or if she will go for lunch with DH and his dad (see if DH is brave enough).

We are home from our trip. It was fun. It would be nice to go back when the boys are older and can do a lot of the activities there.

Lazy Sunday here! Went to a baseball game last night with DS and he had a blast! Nice to give him time away from the girls ... although recently, he has been so affectionate with them. I think with moving and chattering, they have finally become interesting to him!

That's nice bethers, both the night out and his affection for the girls! I had a nice hike with my friend, no baby and it wasn't super hot! The smoke from nearby-ish forest fires was a bit much though. And DH actually took Jojo out to the mall for lunch while I was gone. Now we're just chilling while she naps then we'll get groceries. Whee.

Hey. We were at the lake all weekend. I diagnosed ourselves with HFM so that’s been a treat. My mouth has had a few sores I assumed were canker sores. My oldest kept saying his tongue felt funny. I thought he ate too many salty and vinegar chips. Then I looked in N’s mouth to see if he was cutting teeth as he has been a bit crankier. Low and behold, his whole mouth is white and blisters on his tongue, back of his mouth, gums. Everywhere. He’s been nursing fine, he’s eating solids, no fever. He’s been sleeping worse and a bit Crankier in the evenings, but that’s why I assumed teeth.
So ya, I’m glad it’s not worse. But also hoping it doesn’t get worse.

I’m tired and was fighting my hangover this morning and through traffic home. 😫 I think the Gatorade and Philly cheese helped. Now if only we could get kids down for a nap. Ds fought it hard, but finally just went down. It doesn’t sound like dd is though (she dozed for about 45 mins of our drive, boo)

Twin life - one girl down. Walk in with other girl to out her in the crib, when the first girl pops up awake. Both start crying.
Currently letting one cry it out while the other is laying there peacefully. Will grab her soon and head to the PNP if she doesn’t stop.
