Drank too much tequila last night and paid for it today 😓
We went to a birthday party for ds3's friend this afternoon, it was fun but I got eaten alive by mosquitos. I'll take it over snow anyday though! They're finally passed out from their cake coma now
The older boys are spending the long weekend with my dad and I was hoping to take the babies to the beach tomorrow but now they're calling for rain

Heyo! Today was our anniversary. We spent it packing then MIL watched the girls while we went to a movie. Ellie broke another fever today which is frustrating since she was just sick last weekend. She seemed fine by the time we got home though.

Hi from the car on the way home from the Safari Park!
DD1 said that swans look like marshmallow flamingos and now that is something that will be in my head every time I see one. It is just the perfect description. We were dying. 🤣

cnf, happy anniversary! I hope Ellie is feeling better! quinn, I agree it’s better than snow, but mosquitos are my least favorite part of summer! I’ve been mostly MIA lately because work is busy and races have taken over my life the last few weekends. No big races on the calendar until fall now, and I’ve only got 9 more school days! Woohoo! Heading into work on a Monday after a very summery weekend is rough, though, and the kids are checking out big time, so pray for me. lol

Hey all!
Busy weekend - Saturday we ran errands with N and then brought him to a baby shower for H's coworker. Took him a while to warm up but he seemed to enjoy himself. Sunday I don't know what his deal was. He was playing with the bungee cord we usually use to keep the tv credenza doors shut (normal magnetic locks won't work, and I'd forgotten to shut the doors after getting some toys out for him), and started putting it around his neck before we could put a stop to it. Cue a massive meltdown that resulted in him refusing lunch and screaming until he fell asleep sitting up. He stayed in a mood all afternoon, and then I guess I took too long making his dinner because he threw another massive tantrum, refused to eat (eventually had a little but we had to basically spoon feed him food he usually LOVES), screamed through his bath... I may have yelled. Loudly. And then felt like shit the rest of the night. He slept really well and was all smiles and snuggles this morning so... going to blame teething? *shruggy emoji*
We've apparently added "Bubble" to our vocabulary, and H says he's also heard him say "Hola". He says "buh" when handing me a book, so he knows the word, just can't make the final "k" sound yet. We also finally nixed his bedtime bottle this weekend. Really looking forward to reclaiming some of that counter space.

Also, hello and happy Monday! Happy because today was actually not crazy at work, and I was surprised with a full gas tank this morning, when I was thinking I would have to stop on the way to work. Thanks, H!
I do have to do laundry this evening which... bleh. I hate folding it. Worst chore ever. But I will do it when I watch the Bachelorette.

H and I are going on a treasure hunt this weekend in maine
We found a 1840-1860 mariner's ledger where the person went crazy in it and wrote about hidden treasure off the coast of an island. With a map and everything. It's all coded and we spent days researching.
So anyways, we're totally nerding out. It'll be an adventure

Anyone have any suggestions on how to reduce insect bites? Poor E is so sensitive that he looks like he has chicken pox on his face due to being eaten by blackflies and mosquitos. We always use bug spray outside but he's getting bit anyway. His poor little face and neck is just covered. They seem to get super red and stay for days and days.

I react pretty intensely to bug bites and then a few days after they decide to re-emerge and itch just as bad as day 1- fun times! I have found that caladryl (I use the clear one) works pretty well for the itching and sometimes I have to take an antihistamine. I don't know if caladryl can be used on the little kids though. Otherwise sometimes ice packs help with the itching.
