I’m here! I’ve been pretty MIA this week. Work really cramps my HiH style. We’re always given the Friday off before the kids come on Monday, so I’m home today. The 3 day weekend will be nice, but really, I’ve got a million things I could be doing in my classroom today. Oh well. I’m trying not to stress about it. This is year 12 in my current teaching position. I’ll be fine. lol
No plans today other than going for a run. It’s cool and beautiful out right now, so I’d like to go soon.

Ah bethkate I can only imagine that this time of year must be so exciting, and busy, as a teacher! Your classroom looked great on IG!

Good morning! I am positively giddy this morning because C sttn until 5am. I have no idea how/why he went from waking up 3x a night to this, maybe it’s just a fluke, but I’ll take it! I forgot how good it feels to get a straight stretch of sleep.
I’m working early shift today, 7-4. We are grilling burgers tonight and I’m hoping for a quick run once the boys go to bed. Future SIL’s bridal shower (K— yes, the wedding is still on!) is this weekend so I also have to prepare for that.

Ah bethkate I can only imagine that this time of year must be so exciting, and busy, as a teacher! Your classroom looked great on IG! It’s so exciting! The new start every year is one of the best parts of teaching. The first day of school is my favorite. It’s so crazy trying to make sure everything is ready, though. ETA: thanks! My classroom is pretty bare compared to a lot of my crafty colleagues, but I don’t love to have an overwhelming amount of stuff in the room, so it works for me.

I'm nursing ds2 then I'm meeting some family at a splash park nearby. It's almost too cold for it though lol. It will warm up I'm sure. Ds1 is spending the night with my mom so dh and I already have plans for Saturday morning (Lowe's and dsw runs lol nothing crazy).

bethkate- your room looks great! Are you mandated to be in the classroom the week before school? Or how does that work for you? We are only required to be in school the day before school starts. So our schools start the Wednesday after Labour Day, we have meetings all day that Tuesday. But we don’t actually have to be there before. Obviously, we are. But we aren’t “paid” for that time there to set up.

Nothing really planned for today here. H and ds1 are out fishing. Ds2 is hiding in his room watching Netflix. Ds3 is watching Night at the Museum and I'm cuddling AJ on the couch.

The boys are doing their second official day at the new babysitter’s and I decided not to go in to work on my classroom. Like bethkate I have a lot of things I could be doing in it but we have some company coming tonight. So I get to spend my last day of summer vacation cleaning. We officially go back on Monday. The kids start on Wednesday.

The novelty of the baby has definitely worn off for ds1. And of course the baby doesn’t like to play with his own toys, he HAS to have whatever Ds1 is playing with.

The novelty of the baby has definitely worn off for ds1. And of course the baby doesn’t like to play with his own toys, he HAS to have whatever Ds1 is playing with. Here's a list of things DD wants to play with: my keys, my phone, my mail, the baby d drops bottle, anything she can bonk her head on. Maybe books if I'm lucky. I'm a crab today because I'm striking out on finding daycare. The ones I like are full and the ones with spaces I don't like. I don't need a spot until November 1 so I'm remaining hopeful on getting into the ones I like, but starting to go to plan b and c. Nannies are so expensive, but might be an option.

Happy Friday!
Fridays are always super quiet and laid back at work which is really nice. I'm planning to go to OSH at lunch to see if I can get some baby cacti for favors for my coworker's shower next week. I'm super bummed that they're closing down, but also hoping they are having a good sale on plants! I'm looking forward to doing some crafting this weekend. Also hoping we can work on a couple of house projects. It's the first weekend in a while that we don't have any solid plans and it feels great!

Home from the splash park. Ds1 was scared of it at first. I laughed quite a bit at his expense. But my cousins daughter went in with him and showed him the ropes ds2 fell asleep in the car before we even left the parking lot lol. So he's finishing up his nap and my neighbor decided to mow his lawn with his ridiculous riding mower. (No one can convince me that you need a riding mower on a quarter acre unless you are physically unable to push a lawnmower)

I'm telling you, he spends more time backing up on his tiny lawn than actually cutting grass. And it's broken down like a million times.

Both the girls have HFM. Fingers crossed that the rest of us don’t get it.

N ate like a maniac today. The boy is crazy about food. He ate the crust, sauce, and mushrooms of an entire piece of pizza at lunch and then 1/2 of a 5 Guys burger patty and some fries at dinner. He has been cutting down the time during nursing sessions. I’m guessing he’ll drop a feed here soon. He’s still nursing or taking a bottle (at daycare) every 3 hours but we combined two into one today around lunch and he had no issues with it. By 10 months DS1 had self weaned from his mid-morning bottle/nursing and was close to weaning from his mid-afternoon. Not sure where N will go with it but I’m just following his lead.

Granted we have 3/4 of an acre and he didn't pay for it. Plus he mows his mom's and dads lawns.
