FRIDAY

[jewels]

Super cute tgrimes!

And I didn’t know you could be - in stats.

I’m not sure how tall my kids are or how much they weigh

S is on the small side, he was huge as a baby/toddler but slowed down around 2.5. MH and I are both short so I expected it

B is short but still super chunky

wineallthetime Christmas list on hallmark is playing, winter beer in hand, and cozy sweats and sleeping baby!!

Well that sounds like heaven!

So we adulted this afternoon and went to BBB to test vacuums. We got a Shark and between the sale they’re running and the Veterans Day discount got a great price on it. DH assembled it and is currently vacuuming the house and periodically coming to show me (in amazement) how much it’s picking up. I’m hooked!

Basically.

My MIL said she was conned into polishing silver as a kid b/c her mom treated it as a "reward"...you had to be *really* good and *really lucky* to touch the silver! Maybe I will do that with the new vacuum  

[slenle]

Wow, I guess N really had hit a growth spurt. At her kindergarten screening today she measured 45in and 48lbs! She used to be such a shortie. I have noticed she’s one of the biggest in her class this year

FFFC: Last night, dinner for Atticus was Fristed Flakes, a string cheese, and an apple.

[cagoldi]

We got a call to pick up X from school because he’s covered in hives. We gave him Benadryl and set him down for nap. I have no idea what could have caused it.

[tallb]

Well I now know how tall j is due to an unplanned ped visit.. seemed to be 46" with shoes on.

His school called bc a teacher bumped a bookshelf and a truck rolled off of the top it and landed on J's face...during nap time 🤨. A corner hit near his eye and punctured the skin. Thankfully it didn't hit his eye and the doctor didn't think x-rays were needed in case he fractured his bone.

The assistant that bumped the shelf feels awful (I love her), just a crappy accident. The trucks were already moved by the time I got there for pickup. Now Netflix is on and waiting for pizza. Poor kid.

All M had was bacon. I made eggs too but all he ate was bacon. Like 9 strips!

Poor thing! What a way to wake up!

[flamingo]

Yikes tallb, poor J! Glad it wasn't any worse.

[snoopmommymom]

tallb Oh no. That sounds traumatic.

Breakfast for dinner.

C is a snacker and his regular dinner lately is turkey pepperoni, yogurt, a banana and goldfish. I’m not a fan of it but the pediatrician said it was fine and hits the food groups.

I hope X and J are ok cagoldi and tallb!

My mom convinced me I was really good at certain chores and no one could do them as good as me. I was a sucker.

My gosh...evie weighs 55lbs. Shes in size 7. My kid is a giant.

This seems pretty well balanced. Grains, dairy and fruit.

I think Cadence was 49lbs the other day. She's in a size 7 as well.

[snoopmommymom]

Z eats string cheese, Turkey, grapes, and apple slices for dinner most nights because she won’t eat what i make.

My coworkers son is four months older than ours and he is 67#! He’s not overweight, just the size of an 8yo. The funny thing is his parents are kind of small. His moms 5’2 and he’s already up to her shoulders.


C is also in a 7. Except some pants still a 6.

Ry is only 40 pounds, and I think like 42 inches. He’s our little guy.

Matthew is the same but only 36 pounds. I had to buy 4T pants because he looked like he was waiting for a flood but lord. They just about fall straight down.. And he hates the ones that tie or the jeans that cinch in the waist because they hurt him. 

We fold over the top of sweats that seems to work until he grows into the length

That’s crazy, I feel like they will change so much between now and next September.

[tallb]

What's a kindergarten screening?! I think we just register and apply for any special lrogram lotteries(bilingual programs).. maybe I should study up.

[kim22]

tgrimes that picture is adorable and I just put C in that same car seat today. It’s my first seat that didn’t involve threading straps. I told DH “new parents today sure have it easy.” My first time installing a convertible seat included me on the phone to Graco, crying.

[flamingo]

FFFC: There is a new Walmart Christmas commercial out where they keep showing deliveries being made and presents, etc. piling up. Watching it, I just realized that the actual lyrics to the KC & The Sunshine Band song playing are "Keep it coming, love" and NOT "Keep it common-law"--which is what I have thought they were saying for...a long time.
