Does anyone else feel like time is seriously flying by too quickly. Like I cannot keep up. The boys were super duper excited this morning to find a suckers in their advent calenders (we have reusable ones that I'm filling myself, because allergies). I'm doing alternating days of suckers and rocket candies (similar to your version of smarties) and theb a small toy (like dollar store toy) every 4 days.

My MIL & I are taking the kids down to a ranch for pics with Santa. Hopefully H will take an early nap beforehand. It will take 1.5 hrs to get down there.
I’m jealous that MH will get to stay home alone.

Me too, I have no idea how it’s already December.
We have a birthday party at 1, and it’s an hour and a half drive. I’m hoping for early naps in the car so they aren’t demons at this party. No plans tonight, prob a movie and popcorn before baths and bedtime.
Cute story time: H found a Paw Patrol popcorn tin and brought it over last night. I just put it under the tree for now, because it didn’t fit in the cabinets where all the food is. Well E and L are convinced that Santa brought it for them!

Yeah I can't believe it's December. I crossed November out on my work calendar yesterday and was like hoooow! That means we've been in this house for almost a month now.
We got home around 10 last night and C went right to bed with no issues. We have soccer at 10:30 so we're eating some breakfast now amd chilling out before we get him ready. H really wants to put him in an Adidas track suit like he's a professional or something lol.

We went to breakfast w Santa at Os school this morning. He did pretty good considering he’s never met Santa before. (Sometimes I wonder what I did his whole first year of life?) Now he’s napping and I’m laying on the couch instead of putting up Xmas decorations.

Our giant rug that was set to be delivered yesterday and then rescheduled for delivery today has now gone to no known delivery. Balls. I was really hoping to get the rug put down before the couch delivery today. Oh well, it can be dealt with even if it's annoying.

Hello all!
It’s B’s turn with ‘Honey’ the classroom bear this weekend, so I’ve been told numerous times that this weekend has ‘got to be full of adventures’ thanks Mrs A...
It’s snowing and gorgeous outside! B had soccer this morning and then we’re off to a playdate this afternoon. Tomorrow we’re setting up the Christmas tree, cleaning house then just chilling for the afternoon.

Add me to the time moving too fast club. I can’t wrap my head around how quick this year went.
I worked today. Mostly really enjoyed myself and I think I’m going to move back into clinic stuff once the surgical RN gets settled. H and I just really enjoy working together and I can do that exclusively outside of the OR. It would be maybe two half days a week and then with the AScenter’s admin work I do it’ll be a good chunk of time where I can still feel like I’m doing something for me.
M didn’t go down for her nap until I got home so we’re waiting for her to get up and heading into Delaware to shop at the nice grocery store. Exciting!

Hope you love it and that rug finds itself in your home ASAP. It's nothing grand since it's for the room/space we're turning into a play room. Just a large rug to go over the tile floor and an IKEA couch - washable covers ftw.

Sad stuff ahead.
My sister is currently having her dog put down. I'm so sad for her. He's only 5 years old, she got him just after C was born. This morning he woke up and couldn't walk from pain. This afternoon it was a herniated disk and she was asking to borrow my baby gate before going back to the vet to pick him up. I'm not sure what happened between then and now but I'm assuming they realized it wad worse than they initially thought. My heart is so heavy. He's such a sweet dog. I'm not quite sure how to explain to C (we spend a lot of time with them so it's not something that can be avoided).

I am so sorry danib 5 is so young for a dog to get sick like that. So devastating. Daniel Tiger has an amazing episode on pet loss and when Daniel loses his blue fish. It touches on some pretty great points. Is C still in the age range for DT? If so I’ll find the episode for you.

sophiegrace he's actually never watched Daniel Tiger, but I would definitely show it to him. He's really interested in Coco and The Book Of Life, both of which show people being together in the afterlife (animals included) and talks about remembering them to keep them with you, so I'm hoping that will help as well.

I have no idea what they’ll look like since I was hiding behind furniture most of the time. They may have gotten some of them waving at Santa when they were done. We’ll see.

MH just took both kids to the grocery store so I’m drinking a Bloody Mary. I almost told him to leave H at home with me but....I realized how stupid that was to say out loud.

We had DS2s birthday party yeaterday. We just have family over but it was still a lot of fun. Today I'm decorating for Christmas. As soon as I get DS2 down for a nap I'm going to climbon the roof and get the lights hung. We stil need to go get our tree and I'll probably spend the evening decorating that.

Well I got home just after lunch and we've just been hanging out ran a few errands. We were going to take the twins to a Christmas festival at church but J has been very much a 2 year old today so we decided against it. The kids are watching Christmas shows and I'm getting ready to start making dinner.

At the in laws. I think we’re going somewhere for dinner. Not delightful with 2 kids. I’m drinking all the good wine before we leave.

My children are pole dancing on my SC story of anyone is interested. Runs out and immediately buys new phone. It’ll have disappeared by the time all my pictures download though and the phone is ready to use, so you might just have to go take them back there and get them to do it again. Totally doable, right?

I'll just text it to you silly.
