Congratulations! it's gorgeous and I'm drooling slenle, I love it so much. It's close to what we're looking at as well. I love the bed that comes down in front, what a space saver! The length is a really good size, i love that the slide outs, although add weight, really increase the inside space while parked. |

That looks awesome, slenle! No wonder the kids are excited. I’ve always liked the name Violet. Willow is cute, too! |

tallb I like Owen  . How about Josephine? Then she can go by josie or jo . It's a bit loaded bc my dad and aunt are Joseph/Joanna...so it would be seen as a family name..but not sure I actually want to do that, he wasn't always a model dad🤷 |

I have to vent. My friend texted that she'd take my dog for a walk since she's off work. It's beautiful out and not raining. She just sent me a picture. Lily is soaking wet. Why does she always take her to the Sound?!? The water is nasty there and smells. She comes home covered in sand and smelling like a barnacle. There were countless other places she could have taken her for a walk where she wouldn't get disgusting. She does this almost every time she takes Lily and it drives me batty. I know it's dumb to complain about someone else walking your dog for you, but is it too much to ask to not take her near the water?
It's very much an auntie loading your kid with sugar and then dropping them off situation--but with a dog. *sighs*

inthekitty it’s a little weird. Walk, to me, implies perambulating the neighborhood. I think she should ask, specifically, “can I take her to the beach/shore, etc.”

Maybe next time say "thanks so much for offering, please keep her dry! I don't have time to bathe her tonight" It takes both of us almost an hour to bathe Zorro.. It's torture. |

Do our pregnant friends have any name ideas? I know Peach doesn't lol, slenle? tallb? I love hearing names! We’re looking at older style names to go with N and H but haven’t really narrowed it down much. Dh actually suggested your As name, so that’s on the list. Along with Louie, griffin, and a few others but nothing is standing out to me. Girls names- Vivian, Fiona, violet, and I’m recently liking willow. But again, no front runners. I like all of those, especially Arlo obviously |

That's annoying for sure inthekitty, I'd reply, 'looks like she had fun, hopefully she has an equally fun time at the dog bath before she comes home' |

So tired.
I don’t think I’ll get to bed until later because I have homework.
BBM 8.0 is kicking my ass in the best way, but man I am sore!
Dude’s BFF’s mom invited us to meet her downtown for this Taste of Brea event, but she did warn me it’s crowded and noisy so wrangling three kids alone, two of whom are likely to go into sensory overload, could be tough.
I think I’m just going to stay home and make them hot dogs, garlic butter pasta, and jelly rolls.

Picked Cadence up and she's covered in dirt. Front and back. I asked her how she got so dirty.
C: I wiped my hands on my dress.
Me: You can't reach your back to wipe your hands on.
C:*Shrugs* I guess I'm special.
Who is this kid?

A could be more helpful by not being here than he is by completely ignoring me and the kids.

Nn Ellie? super cute and super popular here. And my N's name is a nn for Eleanor/Eleanora 🙂. Two of my close friends have Ellie's. N's class is full of super traditional boy names and I cannot tell anyone apart! Thomas, Henry, Jacob, Lucas, etc. All super cute names but I apparently need some more interesting names to be able to differentiate. |

We’re back from the zoo. Not a good decision for today. I thought we’d try and go before school let’s out, but didn’t think about all the field trips. So. Many. Kids. So and hour and a half each way and we spent about an hour and a half there. We did get to see most of the animals but i just felt so rushed and crowded. At least the kids had fun. Which zoo did you go to? Como? |

We went last summer and I really wasn’t impressed, especially with how expensive it was to go. This summer when we go up to see my sister I am going to suggest we check our Como, I’ve never been. |

trtlcrzy, yeah, and i agree MN zoo is expensive, but it’s so much bigger and the animals have much better habitats, but not many “cool” animals. Como Zoo is so small, you could be in and out in an hour if it’s quiet. But they have gorillas, polar bears, giraffes and zebras which the MN zoo doesn’t have.

Just come to the St. Louis Zoo...it’s free and awesome! 😉. Just a bit longer of a drive. Ha! |
