Iāve never cut blueberries. Hot dogs, grapes and cherry tomatoes still get cut for both girls (DD1 is 2.5). I cut nothing really for DS anymore (almost 5). Popcorn is a treat for the big kids (DD1 May have had it twice).

I cut grapes. That's about it. I don't cut hotdogs for N and he's had popcorn for a couple of years now.
For E, I keep everything really small no matter what it is because he has a habit of stuffing the whole thing in his mouth if I don't.

clucky, wow, that is crazy! Glad you guys are mostly ok. I wish DD liked grapes! Then I would cut them in half, haha. She doesn't really like them though

Happy Friday!
I'm excited for the weekend, it's supposed to be in the 50s so I'm thinking about a zoo trip with the boys. I really need to get a sit and stand stroller - I want one that has a canopy for the bench part (and cup holders) because my kids are super fair skinned and I really like to keep them shaded when able but I don't want to spend more than $150 so any recommendations are appreciated!

clucky, I have been thinking about you and hoping everything was ok. It is just insane how bad it has been. We have been fortunate to not experience much of it around here. Glad to hear you are safe.

Hello! We are home from our vacation. C screamed at the top of his lungs during our 15 minute wait to pass thru security at the airport, so MIL offered to take him for the whole plane ride. She is a freaking saint! He did pretty well, only slept an hour again but was otherwise pretty agreeable. But it was soo nice to just relax and read my book and hang out with ds1 on the plane ride. Now Iām at a bar having an old fashioned waiting for our takeout fish fry order. Still pretending to be on vacay lol.

DS has been stuffing his face lately. I keep telling him to chew! This morning DD put a half of a strawberry in his oatmeal and since he wasnāt interested in the ones on his tray, I didnāt think anything about it. Well he spooned it in his mouth and tried swallowing. I looked over and he seemed to be struggling with it caught in his throat. Scooped him out to pat his back and it caused him to throw up the strawberry and most of his breakfast. Scared me a lot. DH has been giving him whole grapes like DD and I keep telling him he is too young. Iām going to use this to stress to him he HAS to cut up the grapes. Scary! C loves grapes and it's like the one things I'm a big stickler about cutting up. I don't cut anything for DD1(3.5). And both my kids eat popcorn. Something about grapes though, I don't know.

I love the first night home from vacay pretending it's not real life yet š I can't remember if I told you guys that DH and I are getting our first child free night tomorrow night! We're off to a NHL game, staying in a hotel and DD is staying with my parents for the first time. I'm super looking forward to it, not nervous at all, just feel a bit guilty because it's a lot of work for my parents.

The past 2 weeks have been crazy around here. We had a lot of snow, then the day it started melting, we got rain. Turned into a BIG mess. We had water come into the basement through our crawlspace and into the fireplace clean out and right into the basement. So now we have a bit of landscaping to fix before we get more rain. But we were very, very lucky. Everywhere around us is flooded. It is horrible. Devastating. Some of our main roads are gone or have been destroyed along with the earth under them. It will be a very long time before they are back together. It is so surreal. Iām so sorry!

Morning!
I've got brownies in the oven and I think we will bring some to my H at work. I need to stop at the bank and then I may go to buy buy baby to see if they have any strollers that will fit my needs.

Good morning and happy Saturday! I cleaned out our fridge/cabinets this morning and Iāll need to do a big grocery haul. Our house is also a disaster, so today will be full of laundry and cleaning.
My parents put down their labradoodle a little over a year ago. She was the sweetest dog and so good with the boys. They felt ready to adopt again recently and found a labradoodle from a puppy mill rescue out in Colorado. They just picked her up a few days ago so weāll most likely head over to my parentās house to meet her today!

I cleaned out my fridge too and then had to go grocery shopping right away, looked way too empty haha. DD and I had a nice evening last night. Went for Mexican food and grocery shopping. She ate well, loved chicken taquitos and was good at the grocery store (with a treat of a puree pouch š). This restaurant is her favorite for some reason, she loves the people who work there and waving at all of the customers.

My SIL has her baby on Thursday! She has a scheduled induction Tuesday and got a bed at 9pm. The baby wasnāt born until noon on Thursday (39 hours later!) so Iām dying to hear the details about when exactly they started pitocin and stuff. We wonāt be going by to meet the baby until next weekend, though.

He was pretty well behaved, but I also distracted him with food- a box of raisins.

I dont post for a couple days and I feel like I miss so much. H took the boys for a haircut so I have about an hour of silence and am about to watch some rupaul's drag race.
Things have been busy here but I'm not sure with what lol. Nothing in particular, I think it's just having 4 boys and AJ being a full blown toddler that's keeping my hands full
My brother and SIL are pregnant. My stepsister and her are due within a week. I'm finally going to be an auntie!!! And of course, both boys š I don't think my family is capable of making any girls

Morning, went to my brothers bro shower last night. It was nice, he was high šš. I do think it started to sink in that this is real and whether he likes it or not there will be a baby in the next few weeks. H went home with grandma and grandpa so I'm enjoying my coffee after having some homemade waffles. Hopefully hitting up a yoga class shortly.

Puppy pics please pootsen! Even if H eats breakfast we always have to have snacks in the grocery store pootsen blabbermouth. Enjoy thatgolfb! Congrats bethkate! I'm sorry sorry clucky. Hope you had a fun night blabbermouth! Add me to the cut everything still group. I read somewhere to cut grapes till 5 š¤·. Think about it, even an adult can choke on a grape.

The boys, especially C, love Maggie. She is very skittish and shy with them. It makes me really sad to think about what her life was like before. Sheās already warmed up to my parents so hopefully sheāll get used to us soon too.

Productive Sunday here. I went for my long run this morning, and the weather was great. Then, after lunch, it was close to 60 degrees out, so I walked with E to the playground to play for a bit. Now sheās napping, and Iāve got the usual laundry and meal prep to do. Oh! I also had my first FB marketplace transaction earlier. I got 5 pairs of shoes for E for free! And the person wanted to meet at a store thatās super close to my house, so I didnāt even have to go far!

Afternoon!
I ended working last night on the postpartum side. I loved it so much I ended up applying for the pure positionš¤·āāļø. We shalll see what happens.
Found out why DD2 has been such a pill lately. Looked in her mouth and I see a molar on either side up top. Funny considering sheās missing a front tooth on the bottom. Sheās been sleeping all afternoon. The bigs are colouring and Iām doing laundry.
