Good morning! I got up about 45 mins ago and both boys are still sleeping. It’s a Saturday miracle! Plans today include grocery shopping and a craft fair. I also really want to go downtown- there are a ton of cute local shops doing sales and serving wine/cookies/other goodies. I want to get some Christmas shopping out of the way. Also need to start prepping for C’s party next weekend.
Are there any baby birthdays this weekend?

My next half is in 4 weeks, so I’m hoping for 10-11 miles this weekend. I want to do it today because we’ve got a photo session tomorrow and other things to do, but it’s raining pretty good out there right now, so I might have to wait until tomorrow.

H is working today so I took the girls to run group and boot camp. Now I'm working on getting them both down for naps so I can have some quiet time to myself.

N got his ears rechecked yesterday. Infection was gone but both were still really filled with fluid. I got instructions to call the ENT first thing Monday. Looks like we are headed for tubes. 😭 This kid just has one thing after another. Still thinking he’ll have to get surgery on his tear duct too. We’re probably going to have to postpone that one for a bit though. Likely neither can be done until 2019, so on a new deductible. Nothing like burning through your HRA and FSA right at the start of the year. Someone hold me.
We have zero plans for this weekend so I gave N 3 goldfish crackers this morning to see if he could handle it. 😬 So far no issues but he sometimes has delayed reactions. However, if he can handle baked dairy like that it will be awesome.

I managed 6 miles today. 3 were on the treadmill at the gym and then 3 more outside when I got home because the rain had died down. I might just do 7-8 tomorrow since I did more than planned today.
We’re out running errands right now. I’m in the car with E because she fell asleep. I hoped we’d be home by nap time, but oh well.

Hi,all! I started my day with a 90 minute workout class, and then we headed right to the zoo with my parents. A fun day, but it is hot and we are all ready for an afternoon rest lol. Except I have laundry to do and I don’t wanna.

Went to a special train day near my mom's house. Ds2 is currently napping then we are going to head home. Ds1's favorite part was the trolley ride from the parking lot. 🤷 It was all free so whatever.

These boys are driving me nuts. Ds1 got a hold of some Halloween stamps and stamped his face while I was switching over laundry. Ds2 is a whiney mess but won’t nap. I fear he’s dropping town to one nap a day.

Took the boys out shopping- I need a winter coat for ds2 but I can’t justify spending so much- I’ll hit up the resale shop tomorrow. I also pulled out all my 18 month clothes and they fit, it’s great because they are winter clothes but sad because how is he so big!!
After nap I took the boys out to play in the leaves, they loved it! And I gave ds2 peanut butter for the first time and so far so good!

DS refuses his first nap yesterday and partied with his sister. Then proceeded to sleep until 8:15 (12+ hrs). Repeat today wouldn’t take his first nap and only slept 90 mins otherwise. We shall see what tomorrow morning brings. 🤞🏻.
Pink eye saga continues. Nanny got a mild case, and then DS come Friday had some goop. Then, as I wore him at DD’s swim lessons last night he proceeds to stab my in the eye with his finger. I’ve been infected!! Thank goodness the Rx drops had enough for the whole damn family!

Ds1 woke up ds2 so no extra hour here. 🙄 I'm hoping dh will take ds2 after I nurse him so I can get some more sleep. I did take both kids out all day yesterday with my mom so dh had a day to himself.
I transitioned ds2 to a wearable blanket from the zipadeezip and he's done great. We've had only one wake up since I switched him. 🤞

We somehow faired pretty well for the end of daylight savings. Although ds2 has numerous wake ups again. But... DS1 has finally stopped getting us in the middle of the night when he needs to go potty 🙌🏻
It’s a rainy, gloomy day today. I want to go out shopping but not sure if I want to drag the boys out.

I forgot to change the time on E's clock so it turned green at 6am, not 7am, so she was up earlier. She absolutely would have kept sleeping. Rookie mom mistake. C was up about 30 minutes earlier than usual but was also awake for long stretch wanting to play last night. Her STTN streak ends at 3 days. Hopefully she keeps doing better. Mama is tired.

DH took baby duty overnight but my left boob woke me up at 5:15. I guess mammary glands don’t know about DST either. Luckily C was awake and hungry so he helped me out. I’m about to go to lunch with my BFF since 2nd grade then spending the rest of the day getting stuff ready for C’s bday party, folding laundry, and drinking red wine.

My baby is a year old today. 😭
We went to brunch this morning with my parents, and she opened the gift from them. They got her the little people jungle pals set and DD1 is playing with it while DD2 naps, so it is a big hit all around lol.
Oh and we all slept until 630 which felt like 730, so we feel pretty good. Plus the 2 mimosas I had at brunch. 🤣

I wanted to share, since I shared FIL’s initial diagnosis here. He had surgery to remove his bladder and some other things that contained cancer, but today he was officially diagnosed as cancer free! We are so so happy. He has to be closely monitored for a while. We see them next weekend and will have a second bday party for Charlotte so that will be nice.
