What’s everyone up to?
We went to a Labor Day fair today which was fun before the rain set in.
Ds1’s 7th Birthday is tomorrow and he starts school Wednesday. I’m sad summers over and the chaos of a school year takes over.

Hi!
We are grilling burger and such today. Well we are going to try to least. It’s pouring. MH doesn’t mind grilling in the rain but the wind and downpours would make it impossible.
We don’t have to light the grill for another hour and a half so I am not super concerned at the moment. My sister and bil are the only ones coming over so it’s not a huge deal if we have to have it inside.

Headed home from the state fair right now
We camped in my mom's yard and we are all exhausted. I heard from the backseat a minute ago "careful brother, don't fall asleep" noooo, please fall asleep.

I don't think I posted about it here but K and I fell down our stairs. I don't even know how it happened but he was holding my hand so went for a ride too. Luckily, he only had a rug burn on his toe and the tiniest scrap on his forehead, likely from our landing.
I had a partial seizure as we landed so I couldn't see straight to make sure he was ok. I had DS1 get my phone and I called MIL. By the time she got the K was off playing while I just sat there. I had a deep scrap on my ankle and the largest, nastiest looking bruise on my thigh. Still hurts today too. I'm thankful that it was minor for both of us.

That sounds terrifying, jessijean! I'm glad you are both okay. Tomorrow my 3 year old starts preschool. She tells me every night how nervous she is, which breaks my heart. I'm sure she'll love it though. We had a good weekend. My MIL and BIL/SIL all live in the same metro area as we do, and for some reason they always book a hotel on holidays so we can all hang out together in a 10x10 room. I think it's dumb, but it's a good excuse for the kids to have a free pool to swim in, so that was fun at least. |

G did well for her first day of school yesterday. I was a little nervous because it’s a new school, new bus and new kids but she did great.

I'm over here surviving the beginning of the semester. So far, so good. Big kid is back at preschool and I think we are transitioning K to one nap. We went raspberry berry picking Friday night and I think K ate his weight in berries while we were there. DH and I made them into jam late last night. My grandma would be so proud.  |

Hi everyone!! I hope it's been a good September so far. We have been good but busy! DH and I leave for a week long trip to Key West on Saturday without DS. I'm excited but also sooo sad to leave him for so long! He also starts daycare when we get back so lots of changes coming up. Here is DS from earlier this week!    |

I am pretty sure I repel the baby. Lol He goes into the living room to play. So I follow so I can keep an eye on him. 5 minutes later he wanders to the playroom. I follow him there. He then goes back to the living room. 😑 He just wants to get into trouble.

My state is having a horrible week. Our largest city had 3 tornadoes go through it, including down the busiest street in the state. The next day a few locations received a foot of rain and part of cities had to be evacuated that rarely flood. They even closed our interstate for about 36 hours. Never heard of them closing for anything but blizzards. We drove to the city that was hit by the tornadoes today and the flooding on the way was unbelievable. I got a couple pictures of tornado damage I'll attach. We went down to buy hockey equipment for K. I can't believe we signed him up. He is SO excited! After that we went apple picking and came home with 55 POUNDS of apples. DH was an eager picker.... yikes. So if anyone has good apple recipes, send them my way!   |

jessijean I’m sorry that town has so much damage. Hopefully they can recover quickly. As far as your apples go, I don’t have any recipes but I do have a suggestion. Try making some apple sauce or pie filling and jarring it. You can give it as gifts for the holidays because it will be preserved.

jessijean, how awful. I hate seeing news like that. B is on her 3rd ear infection since the end of July so I got a consult for tubes in early October. I would love to get them done before the baby comes but that's probably not going to happen. At least we should have them before the real sick season starts.

I'm very glad I have a check-up with my dr on Monday. This spike of anxiety/depression during my period is truly interfering with life. My resting heart rate was 101 an hour ago according to my Samsung watch. I've had 3 panic attacks today and was wanting to cry and/or sleep most of the rest of the day. Wednesday I was so flighty I couldn't focus on a task more than 2 minutes and yesterday I legit slept all morning.
Other than right at my period I'm doing much better. DH and I are starting to have conversations to get us back and the house back in order.

Life has been super hectic so I haven’t had a chance to post much. Ds2 is still continuing to gain words and I love it.
After cutting dairy per the pedis direction to see if that’s causing his stomach issues back in August we ended up back there this week because it really hasn’t gotten better. They are now testing him for a host of allergies and celiacs. They had us start a gluten free diet for now and it already seems to have helped. So fx we get some answers soon.
