No sleeping in today. H and usually alternate sleeping in on the weekend, especially if its been a long week (it has!) so tomorrow is my day.
DD1 and I are about to head to the library and then maybe grocery shop. It’s raining today and seems like the perfect afternoon for naps, snuggles, and maybe soup for dinner.

LO got up at 6 today...like most days...so no sleeping in here. Sometimes he will sleep until 7am - I’m really hoping for that tomorrow. Come on LO - you can do it!
Play date with one of DS1’s friends tomorrow, had wine and macarons with the neighbors today while our kids played. So far so good weekend-wise!

Taitai those macaroons you all made wouldn’t last long with me! They look delicious! Anytime I get the urge to bake I have to quickly give things away because no self control here!

No sleeping in here, in fact the poop monster got the best of us bright and early at 6 am.
My mom is coming today!! She should be here in just a few hours. I'm excited but pretty bummed that the weather is going to be so shit.

Does 7 count as sleeping in? I had to get up early anyways to get my run in before my naturopath appointment. Tonight we are going to our friends for a bit for adult time, my mom is going to watch the girls. DD1 has been obsessed with the Paw Patrol merpups episode so we made a pirate treasure chest out of a shoe box this morning. I am not crafty.

August Blooms 7 totally counts as sleeping in! And that treasure chest looks great - I’m sure your DD1 loved it. My DD1 hasn’t discovered Paw Patrol yet though I think we’ve caught the tail end of t sometimes as it’s on before Thomas the Tank Engine here so it’s probably only a matter of time. cythe have fun with your mom! Has she seen your new house recently with all the work you’ve been doing on it?

I usually wake up at 5 but was able to sleep til 6:15 this morning. Yay me.
We took both boys to a park and DS2 had the best time swinging. We stayed about 15 min before the mosquitoes got the best of me and I promised DS1 pool time if we left. Note to self: leave bug spray in the car. I have these mosquito wipes from Avon that really work and I’m kicking myself for not bringing them. DS1 just got done in the pool and is “taking a rest” in his room now.

I slept until 8:30, but DS2 was up every 1-2 hours all night. His longest stretch of sleep was 2.5 hours at the very end of the night. I heard DS1 wake up about 45 minutes into that stretch, and pulled the blanket over my head to signal DH that i was not dealing with it.

I got about 4 hours last night between overnight guests arriving late, DH getting home from football even later, LO waking to eat, and then up early. Somedays I think it would be handy if I liked coffee.
Then I got a call from our DCP. She was diagnosed with shingles this AM. LO hasn't had the chicken pox vaccine yet. 😩
Where is the reset button? I need a do over. Or something.

CoachTsWife, oh dear! Hoping baby escaped it or have a very mild case but fx he doesn’t get it since it’s rare these days in this part of the world. When I had it, I got it from my friends baby brother I was like 17. My uncle, a doctor said it’s harmless for babies and kids and it’s worse for adults. It was unpleasant for me and I have a few scars from it. Have you had it before or vaccinated? Doesn’t part of the immunity get passed on to babies if they’re BF?

No sleeping in ever for us. Think we did have a 730 once but today DS barged into our room at 6 before I could intercept him...I usually manage to catch him coming down the hallway so he doesn’t wake up lil fella. Usually I hear him calling out or opening his bedroom door but heard nothing. 🤷🏻♀️ Crap....fireworks are going off now. It’s the town community day today. We nearly missed it because DS was being a total ass today and yesterday and just wouldn’t listen so I finally lost it and sent him to his room after lunch to think about his bad choices I felt bad since it’s only once a year and he loved the parade - its a farming town so the parade consists of farm machines and the towns snow ploughing and road grader 🤣 it’s interesting though I’ve never seen some of the machines before. It’s a good thing hubs mostly knows what they are. Anyways he and hubs walked into town while I put lil fella for his afternoon nap which he fought again. We joined them after he woke up and ate dinner there and DS had his first snow cone ever. He loved it but didn’t eat it fast enough so it was a melting mess. He did have a good time and we had to rush back home to get baby’s dinner. I was a dumb dumb and should’ve brought a food pouch and even dumber because I could’ve come home and grabbed it. It’s only like a 5 min drive. Hoping DS remembers the lecture I gave him today tomorrow 😫 I really do not enjoy punishing him.

CoachTsWife Oh no - I definitely think you need a do-over! I hope your LO stays healthy 🤞 August Blooms That is a super cute treasure chest! I am also not crafty - mine would look much worse. danvers We’ve been giving the Macarons away like crazy! I cannot have 100 if those hanging in the house! Especially the salted caramel ones 😬

cythe , Mr Hanky loves visiting lil fella when he's sleeping. It's really annoying. He needs to go away! Enjoy your mom and aunts visit.

It's so good in a tart. Just use a short crust pastry and double the cream ecipe for a 10 inch tart. Add lemon zest to the pastry for more lemony zing! I haven't made it in a really really long time. I a tempted now.
