You should get a bag to put it in, even a cheap one so it doesn't get grease on it. Then you can check it when you check in, or can gate check if You feel like lugging it through the airport. I always throw tons of shoes and diapers in the carseat bag since it's free luggage.

This and also, do you need the base? I know it’s more convenient but it’s also more to carry.

I think so.

I need the whole thing for Tim’s car while we’re there.

You can’t just use the seatbelt in lieu of the base?

Mallory has not let me put her down all day. Vaccines made her cranky and clingy. A and the boys cant even look at her without her losing it..

I am in a MOOD today. Oof, good thing Dh has guys night or he might not have survived. And thankfully our neighbor kid came over and asked to play (we’ve lived in the same neighborhood 4 years and they’ve never played until we found out he was in the same class as N) so the kids are outside playing while i contemplate dinner. It might just be a hot dog night for the kids since I’m not in the mood for anything.

In better news... I think i have eradicated the fruit flies! I scrubbed cupboards and the sink/drain again and have only seen one or two since. Thank god.

Oh my gosh cagoldi. You've knocked that theme out of the park. I love it. Well done. I also loved my Speak and Spell when I was a kid. A tad simpler than an iPad.

I did boot camp and the kids and I took a long walk. Bed soon because C is a cranky mess!!

Silly question: if I am checking the car seat do o just hand them the base and the seat at the check-in counter?

I used to do this, too! All my extra stuff went in there.

I was annoyed for a minute when Dude asked for an ET Party complete with ET Piñata and balloons.

Well, eBay to the rescue. I found vintage balloons, hats, plates, and napkins, and a Speak and Spell.

I’m going to get some potted flowers and gummy frogs in little jars for decoration.

Dude is dressing up as Elliot, and we’re going to have an extra red hoodie for the kids to wear so they can have their picture taken on a tricycle with ET in the basket in front of a big moon backdrop.

The piñata arrived today and it’s awesome!

Amazing. Please take many pics of this party.

Um, yes?

But why I didn’t think of that myself is really a much more important question. 😂

Well that piñata is startlingly realistic, and thus terrifying (yes, ET creeps me out. cagoldi 's almost 6 y.o. is apparently braver than me!)

[jewels]

I love ET but we haven’t shown S it yet bc it always makes me cry so I was worried it would be too emotional for him. But now I’m thinking we should try!

Also that looks super realistic and I wouldn’t want to beat on ET!!!

[wineallthetime]

Got the kids down, showered, cleaned up and made tea. Was just about to watch TV and MH called and was going on and on about his boring work stuff. He's at the hotel bar... go back to your drink and read a book or something and let me enjoy my time!

My thoughts exactly. I think Colin would steer clear of it and Chase would certainly pee his pants.

It’s been a favorite for about a year and a half, but it took several attempts before we could get through it all because some parts were too upsetting.

cagoldi I have one of the bags for car seats. You can use it.

[chrisy01]

Work sucked today. I have to go through all the cctv cameras we have and check them for problems. If they have a problem then open up a ticket. I asked to do this in January and was told no. Now that it’s the busiest weeks of the year because its fiscal year end that’s when he gives it to me? Plus he’s having me do their things I wanted to do months ago and was told no. I’m pissed. I’m done.
