Good morning! I was hoping to have a kid free day enjoying rummage sales and planting but of course it's raining and will rain all day.... Guess a pedicure and shopping will have to do!! That sounds so nice. I love when I have an excuse to do what I really wanted to do anyway, haha.

Happy Friday!
Yesterday I had a field trip and so I'm happy today is Friday. For some reason it hasn't really dawned on me until today that this is a long weekend. The kids are all checked out but we still have a lot to do. I always stress out at this time of year because it feels like we won't get it all done in time.

Hi. Dh is Home with me today so I’m going to enjoy some split responsibilities with the kids. I kind of want to go to target with just DD after her swim lesson since I won’t have DS.
I woke up at 6:15 when DD had climbed into DS’s crib and they were playing. I’m frustrated since he would have slept longer.
Trying to enjoy our long weekend, but also need to start packing and getting everything ready for our trip next weekend. And finish ordering all the bathroom remodel stuff since we will begin demo the day after we return. I ordered the tub last week since it was giving me an eta while we will be in IA, and then I got the notification it’s already at Lowe’s Wed. 🤷🏼♀️ Sorry, now you are storing it for 3 weeks! Last real decision is a showerhead. I was going to just get a stationary one, but since we are already going “big” with remodeling, should I get a rain head with a handheld?

Yes to the rain head and handheld!!! I don't have one but it's definitely in the plans for whenever we finally get to our remodel.

Hiiii guys! Catching up from the last couple of days. Sorry for the late love tits. This week has been CrAzY at work. But now it’s Friday and I have pizza, a vodka soda, and the boys are actually sitting still for once watching Mickey Mouse.
MH and I are going out of town for a night this weekend to celebrate our anniversary. We’ll be gone for less than 24 hours but I’m thankful for a kid-free getaway.

It rained this morning and now it's hot and humid. Don't worry, it'll be in the 60s tomorrow 🙄.
Set up the slip n slide and ds1 had more fun playing with the water holes than actually sliding down it.... Oh well, at least he was entertained!

N is a clingy hot mess. Oh my word. The screaming hasn’t stopped for like a week. I get absolutely nothing done all day. I’m so over it. He’s back to 2 naps a day because he’s so tired and I can’t handle it. I’m going insane.

cdnfarmgirl, like for the two naps a day. DD is just over a super clingy stage. It's raining here today so DH and I are just lounging while DD naps 😴 will tidy up a bit since my brother and SIL are coming for an afternoon visit then we're off to a BBQ (which will be indoors on account of the rain!) My week was super busy at work so I don't think I checked in at all.

jules1614 DH and I are in your neck of the woods! Our friends live in Waukesha and they’re out of town for the weekend so they offered to let us use their place for a little getaway for our anniversary. We walked in to a bottle of champagne, a card, and a bunch of brochures for the area like a real Airbnb lol. They even left Andes mints on the pillows.

jules1614 I will cheers you with my margarita! The one time I make a marg instead of just having my usual wine is in national wine day, of course. 🤣 Today was another crazy day at work. It should have been relatively easy, but I had some QC fail randomly which threw a wrench in my day. Fortunately I was able to pinpoint the problem and got everything done. So we have margaritas and we are watching Drunk History. DD1 also requested fro yo as a treat, which H and I already had last night, so now I have that waiting for me for a second night in a row. 😊

We have a busy day. And it’s rainy rainy rainy. I just want to chill at home. But who am I kidding. That probably will drive me crazy anyways.
Had a good family day yesterday actually. We bought DS1 a quad so he rode that thing all day. DH and I tagged team who sat outside watching him. DD drove her little motorized gator around. N stomped and played in every mud puddle he could find.
But now I’m sore and tired. I need to shovel like a million loads of top soil this week. Was going to do it today but I guess not.
I sent the kids to play upstairs so I could drink my coffee in peace and quiet. So far it’s going well. But I’m Sure I just jinxed it.

Saturday we hit the beach in the morning. It was nice. I also bought all the tile for our remodel.
Yesterday we had a 4 yo preschool bday party for DD. It was really cute to see the kids so excited to see each other not on a school day. First encounter with a little bully with DD though. There was an older girl not with the party that was grabbing her when she was playing with her friends and made her scared and cry twice.
Then it rained last night. Today it look gorgeous out. Dh is walking the dog, DD is playing nicely, and I can hear on the monitor DS playing with what I assume is the toy he had in his hands when DH put him to bed last night. Until he stands up, I’m enjoying my coffee in peace. Today We hope to bike the kids to our local Memorial Day ceremony this am, then go to ILs pool this afternoon.
We need to figure out our plans for our trip next week. Sight seeing between Chi town and IA. Plans to see everyone back home a couple times. Etc. oh and start to pack.

Good morning! I had a great long weekend. The weather was perfect. Mid 70's and sunny. We went to a local amusement park with my sister's family. I got some of my plants planted for the summer. I even grilled. Overall it was a nice weekend. Now, I just need to get through the next 3 weeks of school.

Happy Birthday, jules1614! Hope everyone had a nice long weekend! We did a bunch of errands and I had to see a show on Sunday (it was over an hour away but at least it was a really good production). N can now get himself up the stairs and slide down the toddler slide at the park near our house (about 3 feet off the ground). He can also get all the way up to the big kid slide, but we go up with him and hold him while sliding down. Also tried seeing how he'd do with a spoon yesterday. I brought a toddler spoon for him (short handle, mouth guard, etc) and a regular spoon in case he didn't like it. He wound up feeding himself applesauce with both LOL. And made a huge mess, naturally. I think 3-day weekends mess with him because he's not used to being with mommy and daddy that much. He was in such a mood last night. There's a big metro shutdown in my area for the summer so I have permission from work to WFH on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. H also has today off work so it feels very weird to be around the house. Supposedly he's going to run errands soon but for now I'll answer emails and listen to him put away N's laundry

Work was super busy today but I worked the early shift so it was nice to get home and start dh’s birthday dinner. He requested Chrissy Teigen’s scallops with linguine and casino breadcrumbs — very putsy to make but it was delicious! We had cannolis for dessert- nom. C wouldn’t even try any of the cannoli or pasta. He did eat some peas and corn though. He is the pickiest eater.

Hi. I was at work for 2.5 hours before being texted by DCP that DD2 has pinkeye. 😞 So she and I have been hanging out today. Other than fighting eye drops, she has been easy and sweet. I felt bad leaving work, but I got a bit done before I left and our “Mondays” are easy days generally. (Tuesday after a Monday holiday is a Monday to me, lol.)

It has gotten a bit better 3 years later, but not great still. It seems like C will be better. She pretty much eats everything.
