Happy birthday cakewench! The weather has been amazing the last few days. It’s almost like as soon as the calendar changed to August the humidity disappears. We’ve finally gotten around mulching our flowerbeds. A random guy walking his dog stopped and told us he loved the front of our house and our landscaping. Which is awesome because my H and I have no green thumb and generally so the least when it comes to our yard. 😂😂 ETA: I seriously love the outside of my house and feel so blessed that I live here.

Hiiii. I have been MIA. Work has been a bit crazy. I’m here today. H has to take both kids to swim lessons though, so I might be winning. 😂
I will catch up now! And hopefully be back later.

It's SO weird to me that some schools start in August, August IS STILL SUMMER. Day after labour day is the perfect day to go back in my opinion I know some kids who started at the end of July!!! I couldn’t believe it! We start the week before Labor Day weekend. Which is so dumb, because their first weekend is a holiday weekend. Just start after!

I go back 8/19 and the kids come the 26th. Most schools around me start the week before Labor Day now after we had something like 12 snow days a few years ago. I’m just glad I’m in a building with a/c now because it’s so much hotter and more humid in August than June. Where we were before, we would’ve been better off starting later and staying later in June in terms of the heat. Snow days make sense. We do not have snow days, nor is June usually hot. My city is an enigma.

Hi! Summer has been busy, but in a good way. C finished chemo in June 🎉, and she looks amazing. Her little blonde fuzzy hair is so cute growing back. M and the big kids have had a good summer with swim lessons and camps. Even though we didn’t take a real vacation, we have a few day trips planned the next couple of weeks. Oh yay, I’m so glad to see this! I have been thinking about her ( and you, and your family).

Happy bday cakewench! My license expires on my bday in March, so I need to remember to try to make an appt. I also want the RealID. My passport is expired and I need to get on that as well. But we don’t have any plans to travel internationally for a while.

C ended up spiking a fever yesterday and has a cough/runny nose. He still had a low grade temp this morning. This has been on/off since Tuesday so I’m going to take him in to check his ears this morning. I think we’ll stay home today and do the fair tomorrow. We’re all pretty tired bc we didn’t get home from the Packers thing until 11pm last night anyway. oh no! I hope he feels better quickly!

Ear infection is confirmed so he’s started on antibiotics.

Morning!
We have a 4 y/o birthday party to attend today. It’s my BFF’s son and they have a pool. It’ll be nice to hang out with everyone and swim!
I’m finally cashing in on the gift of a professional deep clean this week so naturally I’m cleaning before the cleaner haha! But it’s great because it forced me to deal with the last box from when we moved 2 years ago. I found some gems- tons of mix cds from my high school days!
Our friend/roommate is officially deployed now so I’m getting a care package together and need ideas. He just asked for beef jerky but I’d like to send some other stuff if you guys have any ideas.

Bah another sicky over here. We spent the morning in the ER, bronchiolitis. From RSV 🙄 isn't it summer? Anyway, back home with a puffer that I think we'll have to use again soon, when DH wakes up from his nap.

Hi. I’m home with DS while DH took DD to church. We’ve been tag teaming lately since DS hates the car seat and is too young for Sunday school really, so it’s not worth the fight with him. thatgolfb Friday I had an appt so dh was going to take both kids to DD’s swim class and see how difficult it is, but luckily I got the call just as he was loading them up that there was a code brown, so classes were cancelled. He lucked out! Ha This week we’ve been planning things for the Disney cruise in October. Dh and I may do a diving excursion so I’m trying to decide whether to leave the kids in child care on the boat, or let them go on a boat tour excursion with ILs and all their cousins. It makes me a little nervous that we wouldn’t be with them....

We had house cleaners come Friday to deep clean since the construction and logically I was trying to finish the stupid task of scrubbing the kitchen grout as they arrived. Worst task ever!

Add us to the sick club. E had been nursing a cold for a few days and the C woke early with a fever this morning. Even with medicine she's been a miserable disaster all day. I'm try to get her down for an early bedtime now. Oof.

Today has been nice. I had groceries delivered early, and we all went to the gym after breakfast. The girls went to child care while H and I did a class, and then we went to the playground at the Y for a bit. C made a little friend and played Sesame Street for a while (she is huge on Elmo). We came home for lunch and then C and I both took naps. It was amazing! Now we are outside while the girls play in the kiddie pool. I made H and myself aperol spritzes. 👍

Sorry for all the sick kiddos. I hate summer illness! It feels more cruel to be stuck inside. Fx for good health soon!

Thanks quinn 😂 jk, hope you start to feel better eventually. Can we blame it all on stress? DD had a good long nap today without coughing so we're foolishly hopeful for tonight. But it's 830 and we're wondering if it's too early for bed. At least her cough seems to mostly be gone so I'm hoping that helps her sleep better 🤞 Sorry you've been hit too cnf! At least DD doesn't seem to have a fever along with it. thatgolfb, that sounds like a nice day! DD loves playing in the backyard.

Add us to summer sickness. DS1 just got through with a sinus infection and ds2 is a snotty, coughing mess who’s also teething- so much drool!

I’m bummed. My company golf tourney was planned for a Saturday later this month. I guess the owner forgot about a conflict with another fundraising event so the young kid planning it pushed it to the Sunday. 😒 Yeah sorry, I can’t make the drive down to SD, spend the whole day, and drive home late before a work day. I’m not that young and family life puts a damper on just changing plans on a whim. A different weekend I might be able to, but we will be down there sans kids that Friday night, so the logistics of 2 trips in one weekend sounds 👎🏻. I’m bummed. I miss golfing!

I’m glad she seems to be feeling better blabbermouth! RSV is so scary, sorry about the ER trip. C’s antibiotics seem to be working. No more fevers but he’s still pretty snotty and crabby. Oh and I caught his sickness too so I’ve got a lovely chest cold out of it. At least I’m off work today and tomorrow. The ILs went out of town for the week so I took a couple of PTO days so my parents wouldn’t have to watch the boys 4 days in a row.
