Thanks for the birthday love 😍 I had a fantastic day filled with planting flowers and a long nap!! My H got me flowers and set up a deep cleaning and is finally considering hiring a cleaner! I made beef stroganoff which is my favorite and it turned out awesome.

Just checking in before another busy day. Spent memorial day at my aunt's home. It's a long drive and everyone missed naps (which we paid for yesterday) but my entire extended family was there and it was so nice.
We are having a party here Friday night so been trying to get things ready for that. Anyone have good mixed drink recipes??? I usually just drink wine but I wanna do something fun

roloma I think we may stop in college town on our way West next week. There is apparently a new rec center by the river?! Either they built it post flood, or I was too drunk. 🤣I can’t imagine I didn’t know about it since it was so close to the engineering building where I practically lived. Anyway, might stay at the university hotel and it provides access to that. It has a lazy river and fun kids area.

Also I realized ds is saying more. His sisters name is “uhruh”, “ri der” when asked where something is, and others.
Also, I forgot how stubborn 18 mo olds are. 🙄

We have been planning a trip there solely to eat at the Indian restaurant downtown (we both miss it so much) but that could definitely be added to the list of things to do. Ok, so an article I found on google tells me it was completed in 2010. I graduated in 2003. I guess I haven't been paying much attention to the goings on.

I bet it was post flood. I only heard about them rebuilding Hancher. And it seems like the memorial union was improved after the flood too. I want quintons so bad now that you made me think about food!!

I’m so sad, just called university hotel and they don’t have PNPs, so I don’t know if we can stay there. Boo

I don’t think DS2 would sleep in a bed with one of us. He’s easily distracted 😂 I don’t think the daily pass for the rec place was much, less than $10/person I think with under 3 free. I noticed there were discounts for alumni. It’s not as fun to not stay right there, but still an option if you stayed somewhere else maybe. We hang out in the East Village a lot. We also go out west a lot too. We kinda get around on the weekends, we hate staying around home.

Happy Thursday! Today is my Friday and I am so happy even though it has been a short week. Tomorrow I have to bring N to his kindergarten step-up day. He goes into kindergarten while I go to an informational meeting for parents. How is my little boy so old????
After, we are going to do a visit to another daycare provider. Fingers crossed it works out for E so that I can stop stressing what I am going to do for daycare next year. I'm a little worried because this place is not in the greatest part of town but it is licensed so I'm thinking it can't be totally awful. I dd find one other family who sent their 3 kids there and they had good experiences. So hopefully it works for us.
Anyone have any ideas how to keep an almost 18 month old off the coffee table and couch? I'm out of my element with a climber. I can't even leave E in the living room without worry he's going to fall off the furniture. I can take the coffee table out but I can't do anything about my couches. When tell him NO he just does it more. Right now we are trying to distract as much as possible, but this kid is stubborn.

sarahandben108 spray him with water like a cat? Lol jk. Sounds like you’re doing all the right things. My guy is a climber too and I don’t make a big fuss about it otherwise he does it more (he’s a stinker like that) so I just put him back on the floor.

I couldn’t find my phone so I pinged it from my Apple Watch. I had left it in C’s room where he was napping 🤦♀️ I really hope he goes back to sleep because we have both boys’ well checks at 1 and I don’t want him acting crazy in the office.
I’ll be back to report on his stats!

I’m so tired. Work was stressful this week before we leave.
This am, I got an email that our flight was canceled so I had to call and change our whole itinerary.
Why won’t DD take a nap?! I need to rest and pack....

Happy Saturday! No plans for the weekend but that's good, last weekend was too busy. We had gorgeous weather yesterday so of course today it's cold and rainy. Looks like movies and snuggles are on the agenda for today.

She will babysit Jojo this afternoon and evening so we can celebrate our tenth anniversary! It's 730 and DD is still sleeping 😮 tomorrow my sister is in town so we'll visit with her in the morning.

We’ve had an awesome day so far. Cleaned the entire house, including new sheets and laundry, and now C is napping. DH is power washing the deck. When the baby wakes up, we’re heading up to the zoo and out to dinner. Tomorrow DH is going to paint the deck while I take the boys to Cheese Fest with my parents. Should be a very productive yet fun weekend!

How the heck does anyone get anything done with two small kids around?? My house looks like a bomb went off.
Also, I woke up this morning to our coffee table in a different room. I guess my H was done chasing E off the table 😂
