Hey ladies! I know I keep saying it, but I’m sorry I’ve hardly been checking in. Work is so super busy. Then, when I get home, I don’t sit down for longer than 10 mins until 7:30 when E is in bed and I’m ready for bed by 8!
Today should be a fun day, but it’s going to be busy. I’m headed out for a 10 mile run this morning. Then we’re going apple picking at an orchard/winery, so we’ll probably drink some wine too. 😊 After that, friends are coming by for dinner.
What’re you guys up to?

Morning!
The kids were up so late last night but they are having fun. The birthday party starts in a few hours. Hopefully everyone will nap later!!
We made good time, only two potty stops! I’m looking forward to stuffing my face with cake later!

Good morning!
B has been a hot sweaty mess but no fever. He has two teeth coming in that we can see, so it should be a fun weekend. Also half his daycare was out sick last week so I’m watching him like a hawk.
We have church pictures today, so I straightened my hair for the first time since our last family pictures. Pretty sure all my hair regrowth is standing straight up. And it’s suppose to pour down rain all day.

I’m dog sitting for my mom this weekend at her house. Last night was a shit show. DS1 refused to go to sleep and finally at 11pm H took him home to sleep in his crib. I’m taking advantage of the quiet of them not here by watching cable (we don’t have it at home). I’m trapped in nap jail but it’s warm and cozy and I don’t mind at all.
They are headed back over soon. We’re going to trade in the infant bucket seat (I’m overly emotional about this) at Target and then maybe to this little local art festival at a suburb not far away. I’m debating just sending H, DS1, and our dog home tonight so we don’t have the battle all over again.

Hi everyone! Good luck with your photos today rooskie! No one will notice your hair 😊 especially when you're holding a cute baby, haha. Too bad your DS couldn't sleep at your mom's roloma. I'm a bit nervous about DD's sleep when we go away 😬

Ds2 and I both have a cold. So I'm thinking we will just hang out at home. Ds1 and dh seem fine so they will probably run some errands later. All my neighbors are doing loud yardwork but ds2 seems to be napping through it. 🤷 Whatever. It's nice outside so I'm hoping I'm feeling up to a walk later.
We are supposed to go to a friend's for dinner tomorrow so idk about that.

Also! Dh had his interview and it went well! He has another interview to do still and some skill assessments, but we are cautiously optimistic.

Hi! Work is so consuming. I dont stop from the moment I walk in the door around 630am until I leave sometime by 4pm ar the latest. And I'm still so behind. There are not enough hours in the day. Then I go home to H and both kids and its nonstop there too. Most days I dont even have my phone on my person like 98% of the day let alone do I ever look at it. The first time I do, most days, is when I sit down to nurse C to sleep at 7pm. Then I basically am in bed by 8pm myself.
So hi. I'm alive.
I took both girls for a run and to bootcamp this morning. We're taking E to a college football game this afternoon, so that should be fun. She's really excited!

Hello! I was up until 2am last night - my brother’s wedding was so much fun! Now DH and I are driving to Milwaukee for my college friend’s wedding. I’m excited but I miss my babies.

BIL and his fiance got married in a "last minute" wedding at her work Thursday. So she is officially my SIL. YAY! Low key reception Sunday.
Tomorrow is DS3's birthday and we are celebrating today. His requested menu has been changed slightly to accommodate everyone. From hot dogs, Mac & cheese, and "num nums" to hot dogs, Mac & cheese, parmesan potatoes, salad, and tea, juice, water or soda, with num nums for Adam. Chocolate cake with M&Ms on top too.
I've picked up 6 dozen ears of corn and need to get to cleaning them

That sounds good clucky, happy birthday to him! bethkate cnf, hi! I once thought I wanted to be a teacher, now I definitely know better 😛 grumpycat, Jojo is over her cold I think, but she passed it on to me... However she fought her morning nap for an hour and a half 😮 I normally have it so easy and she's never done anything close to this, so I wonder if she has a sore throat or something still? Otherwise she seemed normal this morning. Also I'll keep my fingers crossed for your DH! pootsen, fun! Enjoy round two! I'm sure you miss the kids but with staying up so late it's probably nice to not have to parent today.

Good afternoon, took h to the pediatrician today because mh thought his breathing sounded raspy. Turns out his cold isn't getting worse but he does have an ear infection. Good news is he's acting normal so it must not be bothering him much. Ran some errands today, hoping to go apple picking tomorrow if the weather isn't too crappy.

blabbermouth yes! it was so nice to not have to parent today. It’s so crazy- I’ve been looking forward to tonight’s wedding for a long time as a night away, but now I just miss them so much. Like, I have a few old college buddies (that aren’t coming to the wedding) I’d love to meet up with tomorrow morning for breakfast or something but I know I’ll wake up by 7am and just want to get home to the boys right away. Kids, man.

Ear infections suck- our babes are at the prime age for them. Ds1 had a bunch in a row around 9-10 months. I hope H feels better soon!

So DS3 and my mom made his cake layers while I was out with DS2. He picked chocolate and they had fun with the eggs.
We are about 1/2 way through the corn and ran out of ice, so we will finish tomorrow. We got all the full and halves. Tomorrow is to cut them off the cobs and portion 2c bags. So much excitement. So. Much. Corn. Luckily the boys and my dad helped take the husks off and my dad has a baby food container full of fishing worms.
Exciting times over here.

clucky, it took me a second to figure what what the worms had to do with anything! Glad you caught the ear infection laurensc927. DD has a cough now that she's gone to bed 😣 I got her up for a bit a she drank a few oz of water and I snot suckered hey nose and she went back to sleep. She's still coughing, but it's not as phlegmy now. Sigh. If she doesn't improve by Monday I'll take her to the doctor just to be on the safe side before we go away.

The orchard/winery was a lot of fun yesterday. It was insanely busy by the time we left, but getting there early helped. We got a peck of apples that I’ll be using to make applesauce, and we bought 4 bottles of wine (one of which I polished off with a friend last night). It was the most fun Saturday we’ve had in a while, honestly,
I also ran my 10 miles yesterday, so I’m a bit sore today, but I’ll try to get out for 2-3 with the stroller later. Mostly, today will be spent on the couch watching football.

Morning, up with h while he has breakfast. I made zucchini bread waffles yesterday and they're a hit. We we're supposed to go apple picking today but it's raining so we'll probably just go to my parents for a bit so they can see him. I also need to clean my kitchen floor, fun times lol

I'm dying today. Both girls were up overnight. Between the two of them I didnt get to bed until 4 and had to get up at 8 so DH could go golfing. Needless to say I'm annoyed at him and drinking copious amounts of coffee today.
