Merry Christmas!
DD1 has a cold and I’m guessing was overwhelmed with it being Christmas Eve, but H and I had to go into her room a combined 8 times last night because she kept screaming. It was insane. I had to use my angry mom voice. The girl is 3! Too old for that nonsense! And baby was up 3 times. At least they slept till 9?
Now we’re at H’s parents’ house, I’m giving baby a nap, and then we’ll go to my parents’ house. I sometimes envy people who don’t have any local family. Holidays are a packed, crazy rush from house to house, trying to make everyone happy.

Merry Christmas! We've all got a nasty cold here. Dd1 is wheezy again so thankfully we already have a rescue inhaler. O is not retracting or anything so I'm fx she's getting thru it ok. Just enjoying time together and cooking.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas! My boys are wiped out from the festivities. They were beyond spoiled! And we have another celebration plus K's 1st birthday on Saturday. Where am I supposed to put all this stuff?

Hi! I have had an insane few days. My children are exhausted and pretty cranky since their schedules have been a mess. I am hoping to fix it today and tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the baby’s birthday! I am not doing much. Some people will be here for pizza. The rest are coming just for cake. It won’t be too many people thankfully. I just don’t have the room.
I took down my Christmas tree. I normally wait until January 6th but with the baby’s birthday and having people over for NYE I just don’t have the space to keep it up. I also purged some toys and books. They are in my walk in closet waiting to be donated.

Flying home today. The flight here went fine except my baby formula tested positive for explosives so I got to spend an hour of quality time with TSA and held up our whole plane 🙄 hope the trip back is a little smoother!!

Yikes peachesncream sorry about that. Happy birthday baby marygracerich. I just got home from work early and took a nap. It was lovely. We are flying out on the first and I dont have a day off work before that. We will probably celebrate baby's birthday when we are with family there.

Sooo DD1s cold went downhill yday. We ended up taking her to the ER (because the pediatric urgent care wasnt open).
She has pneumonia, yall. (The big one.)
But wtf. My life.
Today PECO came out bc we've been experiencing flickering lights all thru the house. Turns out there's major corrosion in our meter box and the neutral wire in the breaker box is fried.
$2000 out the door in a week to fix it all. While they're doing it we're having them upgrade the house to 200amp service. We're planning to sell in ~ 2 years so it will be good for that.
I'm so done with this year.

sunfrogger, ugh, pneumonia sucks (at any age). DS had it at 4 months and it was awful. Thank goodness for antibiotics and nebulizers. I've been MIA for a while but am trying to get back to the board more often (I wasn't much of a reg anyway). Christmas was good. DH and I decided no traveling and kept true to developing our own traditions. We had friends over with their 10 month old and kept it relaxed. Lots of food and drinks and conversation. My relatives all went to my sister's (90 min away). I just didn't want to load up the kids and travel when all they wanted to do was play with their stuff. As for presents, DD got 5 and DS got 3. DD said it was an awesome Christmas and she got everything she wanted. This was the fewest presents we've ever done and yet it was great. Reduced presents and keeping it low key made for the best Christmas yet. I had to work today but DH is watching the kids this week. He's realizing kids are hard to entertain all day. Further complicating things is DS walking already. Oh, and he surprised us by learning to climb stairs. We need more baby gates since he's into trouble more than his sister ever got into.

kyzo my little one isn’t walking independently yet but he has learned to climb stairs too. He also gets into stuff waaaaaay more than his sister ever did. I totally understand the need for more gates.

Happy Birthday little man! marygracerichI just posted something on Facebook for B. How are they 1? I’m way behind because we are traveling but hope to catch up some on the drive today! Heading to Great Wolf Lodge in Ohio for baby’s birthday (really for the 3 year old but 🤷♀️). I hope everyone had a great holiday!

We had a good Christmas and still have 2 more to go. I need to get a few buckets for the DS2 toys and I need to figure out what old toys I’m keeping.
I’m back at work today and exhausted though and wishing I was just playing with the boys.

I’m back at work today and exhausted though and wishing I was just playing with the boys. I did a huge toy purge yesterday and it felt so good! Right now there are 2 huge garbage bags of toys in the attic, trying to decide if we should hold them for a yard sale in the summer or just get them out now and give away. DS saw one before I got it up there and started calling it "the junk bag." LOL

It's a Christmas miracle...both kids have STTN the past two nights! We must be really wearing them out. I've also been really focusing on baby's food/milk and trying to load her up during the day! Hopefully we can keep it going. I got up at 5:30, did yoga and dishes and now I'm relaxing with a NY bagel (sent via MIL from SIL) and my coffee. Not bad for a Friday morning.

We have been working on potty training with G. The first day was awful. Half of yesterday was awful but after about 1pm she started consistently going on the potty. This morning she went straight to the potty so hopefully today will be a good day. She also has a cold which sucks but she is dealing with it.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas! We’ve been At my parent’s house since Sunday but we’re leaving today. It’s been a great visit but I’m ready to get back to our normal schedule. Lots of extended family is here as well due to my dad’s illness so it’s been a bit crazy. But fun!
