Hi ladies! Sorry I have been MIA, it has been such a roller coaster of a year. We welcomed our new baby Saturday morning, his name is August, Gus for short. I can't believe he is already here and that this year is almost over. Hope everyone is doing great!

So Emi lenses are already scratched up not even worn 1 1/2 weeks. I have off tomorrow so I am going over to the eye glass place to get new lenses I’m pissed they talked me out of the warranty. Just one more thing I need to deal with on my day off tomorrow while sick. Also yet another added expense to the holidays. I’m sure when it happened either either at daycare today or yesterday when she took them off in the car on H’s way home from daycare pick up.

peaseblossom55 noooo!! The same thing happened with us during week #2 of wearing glasses. I’m not sure if I mentioned it here? Mh put dd in the car and forgot to take off her glasses (we always take them off in the car). She took them off and tried to eat them. Put big gouges right in the middle of the lenses. The frames were fine. I still get rageful thinking of it. Omg Mr. Lake, how could you forget?! And it makes me more upset since we need to change her prescription to bifocals now. So since Halloween we have purchased new glasses with lenses, replaced the lenses two weeeks later, and are now replacing the lenses again for bifocals. It makes me want to cry. I’d be slightly less pissed if we hadn’t had to replace the lenses for Mr. Lakes brain fart mistake. Sighs. How scratched are they and what’s the location? If dd’s gouges were off to the side or hairline scratches, I probably would have waited until her 1 month follow up to replace the lenses. And when is her follow up? I’m afraid of prescription changed with each appointment now.

So I stopped by where we got her glasses apparently the place where we got them has a warranty where they replace the lenses once for free. We are going to stop by tomorrow with her glasses to see how bad they are. I’m hoping it’s not too bad and we can hold off until her appointment mid January in case her prescription has changed.

That’s so great about the warranty! My fingers are crossed that you can make it to January and there won’t be any changes! Our guy did it for half price the first time which was nice but not ideal.

Ds doesn’t have preschool for 2.5 weeks 😭😭 I am devastated. I didn’t think they’d be off this week. Library Circle Time is also on their month long holiday break. Our favorite little friend who we see weekly is out of town for the next two weeks. The weather will limit our usual outside activities. I might not survive the next 2.5 weeks 😂
Today I’m going to give the Arboretum a try since it will be slightly mild temperature wise.

Hello ladies, remember me? I kind of lost touch after the move and going back to work but have lurked occasionally and an happy to see a few of you still here. I just said hi on Sep/Oct 2018 also but see I'm not the only Jan17 mom who went for the hat trick! Congrats meeggaannw and good luck thelittleredm . Since we last spoke DS1 started kindergarten and grows like a weed, H is a tank of a toddler now and only a couple of weeks shy of his 2nd birthday, and DS3 (our lovely surprize) arrived on Oct 19th. The adjustment to 3 has been better than I expected but I tend to survive life on low expectations/fake it 'til you make it so... Hope you're all well and looking forward to the holidays, and that its ok for me to jump back in.

bazinga omgeeee congratulations!! I’m glad things are going well and the transition to three hasn’t been completely terrifying. The Lakes Household update: ds started preschool a couple days a week and loves it. I wish I had signed him up for the entire week. He’s getting so big and finally talking a mile a minute. He was a late talker so it’s crazy that this day is finally here. Dd is still a little peanut and firecracker. If you couldn’t tell by the conversation between peaseblossom55 and myself, she got glasses almost two months ago. They are the cutest little red oval frames and they suite her style well. I love the look of them but not the hassle or cost of glasses.

Merry Christmas friends! Lakes the First Orchard game was one of the biggest hits today. DS and I have played 20 times already haha. What were your kiddos favorites? M’s was the Melissa & Doug vet set and her Puppy Surprise (did you guys have those as kids?).

carrots E got the Melissa and Doug pet vet for her birthday and loves it. E had a 104 fever yesterday so we weren’t sure if we would be able to visit family for Christmas but her temp went down for today. Emi loves her Minnie Mouse doll that you can change clothes also loves her Melissa and Doug cookie set.

thelittleredm adorable! I'm a sucker for bowties/ties/sweater vests. Ds wore a bowtie for Christmas Eve. carrots I'm glad you guys like it! It's still a favorite here. So far dd is obsessed with her Calico Critter Lakeside Lodge gift set. I know she's a little young for it but the inlaws really wanted to get a dollhouse for her and I'm not a dollhouse person but I am a cute little wild animal person. I'm not giving her the tiny bits that go with it (all the food etc) but she's loving her bunnies and the furniture. Ds is enjoying the new books that go with his leapstart device.

I was really on the fence about getting M calico critters Lakes! I know she would looooooove them but wasn’t ready to keep track of all the pieces. Maybe the Easter bunny will step up when the time comes. SIL got her a tiny dollhouse with two cats that she adores so I think that will tide her over.

All the household items are 100% too small, even for me. That stuff has already been packed away in the closet. The furniture is fine. It was purely nostalgia driven on my part too. I only had one Calico Critter growing up (which I still have and brought it out for dd!). Our family friend had alllll the stuff and I was so jealous. So I was super excited when I saw they were making a come back!

Mh got a robot vacuum for Christmas. LIFE. CHANGING.
I am in love. My floors look great. We have mostly hardwood so seeing the fine dust under furniture always annoyed me, the regular vacuum doesn’t always reach, and when it did would get the big stuff but not always the dust. I ran him twice yesterday and once today and he’s still finding stuff. I’m amazed and disgusted 😂
