I’m feeling better than earlier this week, but still not great, so no running for me this weekend. Today I’ve pulled out most of our Christmas decorations and put up the lights outside. I had to go to the store to buy new garland because the set we had didn’t work, and I have no patience for trying to find blown bulbs or replace fuses. It’s all up now, though. As soon as E falls asleep for her nap, I’ll be heading out to buy myself some wine, and I’m hoping we can go get our tree later.

We went to the zoo and it was cold. Lol. Snow is in the forecast for tomorrow and I can feel it in the air. The boys' snow pants arrived so we are all set. Dh said that ds1 didn't like the snow last year but I swear that he did. Maybe I'm thinking of the year before 🤷 we will find out soon lol.

We got our tree earlier today and will decorate it tomorrow. I need to find a sweater for family pictures tomorrow and I'm hoping my H will put up the outside lights while I'm gone. I was hoping for a good nap from everyone today but DS2 took forever to settle and then DS1 woke up crying and cold because he had taken off his clothes and wasn't under the covers 🙄

Us too jules1614, got the tree today, will decorate tomorrow! We had lunch with a friend, now we're all napping. I feel like I should do something productive though. It's DH's work Christmas party tonight. It's just at a pub, so not fancy this year. My friend will come by and babysit so I don't really want to stay out too long either. I'll probably drive because it's all the way across town and although they'll pay for a cab I just find them such a hassle. I want to leave when I'm ready and not wait around. So only one drink for me. Yay bethkate, wine!

Hello! We are waiting in line for a drive-through Christmas light display. There’s a Santa at the end so hopefully we get some cute pics. We went to Red Robin for dinner before and it was pretty much a shit show. I think we’re entering phase where we can’t go out to eat with the kids. C was throwing everything and ds1 wouldn’t listen for anything.

About 20 mins in, she refused to be in the high chair and just fought us trying to get us to put her down. Restaurant visits may need to be put on hold for a bit.

Hi, all! I’m late, as per. I’m watching A Million Little Things while H puts DD1 to bed. We have had a lovely day. Cooking baking, library, playing with the kids. I really needed a day like this!
Tomorrow we have brunch with Santa at the Hotel Del Coronado, which is super fancy and a splurge, but it is the last year DD1 will be free (the cutoff is 5), so we are taking advantage. I am so so excited.
I’m about to eat several cookies. Yum.

I’m done wrapping! I only have 4 things left to buy and will gift bag those because they’re for H’s family and I will not be there for them to open it 🤷♀️.

Yeah it’s kind of depressing but it is what it is. At least until we can teach them manners AKA bribe them with treats/screentime 😉

DH and I had so much fun last night drinking wine, watching Christmas vacation, and wrapping gifts. Ds1 was so excited to see them under the tree this morning. Today we are going to a “st. Nick social” at ILs church which is basically a bunch of Christmas themed games with prizes. Then we’re going to my parents house to watch the packer game (boo.) and making Xmas candy. Ds1 and I have tix to see a late afternoon showing of polar express. Should be a good day!

Spam me with your sippy cup recs. We use take n toss right now which C does well with, but they’re super leaky. I need something that doesn’t leak and has a spout. I’m not totally opposed to something like the 360 cups but I think he’ll take to a spouted sippy easier.

Dh and I both slept awful for various reasons. Thankfully he still woke up with the kids so I could sleep. I cancelled family pictures because they don't allow outfit changes on weekends and we're doing a combo of 1 year and family Christmas. So it's rescheduled for tomorrow after work. Hopefully no one takes a header at daycare tomorrow!!

I'm a big fan of munchkin straw cups or the nuby soft spout just for spilling factor. He also does great with the 360s

He also does great with the 360s No we haven’t but he can drink out of regular straws- we’ve done like water out of a straw at a restaurant- and he does okay with that.

We bought small brushes to clean the straws and it cleans pretty well.

We had B’s Birthday party yesterday. It was just a small group of family but it was nice because he normally is a stage 1 clinger and with less people there he actually let other people hold him and played with my cousins kids. And also our house doesn’t look like TRU yet.
Drinking coffee and trying to get motivation to get prepped for the week. I need to order the rest of our Christmas presents online today too.
I need to figure out what to do for my 4 y/o niece still. Her current hobbies include watching makeup tutorials on YouTube. When I was that age I was playing with dolls still...so...

Brunch was so good but the valet took forever afterward. An hour. Ridiculous. Next time we would just park on the street, I think. DD2 fell asleep while waiting. 🤣

It's been snowing all day. We have 10 in so far and it's still coming down hard. 😬 I'm glad I paid extra to make sure ds1's snow pants got here in time lol. He had a lot of fun playing outside. ds2 was ok to just sit in the sled but didn't want to do anything beyond that. He will love it next year!

N cut a new tooth the other day! And the one on the other side isn’t far behind, because someone has been grumpy AF all day. Getting him to bed now, after a very splash-tastic bath. 😂
H’s coworker made it through his hernia surgery fine, but thinks he will be out until next Monday, so H now has to cover nights all week. Thank god he’s off the rest of the month after Saturday.
Making progress on Christmas shopping, haven’t even touched the cards yet. Hopefully this week if N is cooperative.
