What's up? Are you celebrating yet?
We're sitting poolside at my parents place. B is in the shade in his exersaucer and DDs splashing around. We're headed to the cape tomorrow morning and will stay through Wednesday. I'm looking forward to the extra long weekend.

ellabee, that all sounds so lovely! We have friends coming for BBQing tonight, then my family will come over on the 4th. I'm happy we stayed home this year but I'm sure I will change my mind if I keep hearing these vacation stories. The girls had their professional pictures done yesterday and it went so well. I can't wait to see them!

We have a BBQ to go to this afternoon. It's supposed to rain later but they have tents and all. I was it would stop raining by then though.

I'm at work today and H gets off work a couple hours after I do. The kids went north to my grandparents with my parents so it's just us until we start the drive after H is done for the day. We'll head back down on the 4th. Maybe. H will for sure. My maternal grandma is in the hospital and not doing well so if things go south, I'm taking a quick trip up to MT with my parents and the boys to help out for the duration of next week but if things get better soon, we'll head home the 4th as planned.
I'm trying to figure out what to do with my time from when I get off until H does. It's my birthday and I was trying to get a mani/pedi scheduled but no luck.

I'm at the beach with no kids and it's marvelous.
That's all.

We had my 3 year olds soccer game this morning and she actually scored a goal instead of just standing around ⚽️ Tomorrow we are going to swim at mil. I have my period and tampons don't work with me anymore so I'll just sit in the shade with t

thelittleredm happy birthday! What about catching a movie you wanted to see and not sharing you popcorn and candy if you can't get a pedicure. Also I hope you grandmother feels better.

Don't have time. I squandered last night curled up on the couch binge watching the latest season of Younger so I didn't get any packing done.

No holiday plans here, mh works most of it and poor R has 6 month appt a week late on the 4th. Plan to spend the weekend cleaning to make up for the lake of housekeeping that has gone on the last couple weeks. Also have to figure out the feeding the baby thing, off to the solids thread for inspiration!

I have been solo parenting all day. I am currently enjoying a beer before bedtime. My mom is coming up to visit tomorrow and I am literally counting down the minutes. I can't wait to have another set of hands around to help! All you SAHMs are seriously kick ass. This gig is exhausting and I've only been at it for two weeks!

The BBQ was fun but it was pretty hot. It did rain but we went inside for ac. Bbq's are so much more tiring with a baby in tow. I love it though.

Hi, both of my kids are awake in their beds; not ideal. I hope the baby falls asleep soon! Mh is off tonight but worked last night, so he slept all day and then informed me he was going to a housewarming party tonight for coworkers that isn't kid friendly. We have no one to watch the kids so he is drinking at a party while I solo parent for the thousandth night in a row. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed and tired. I'm trying to be gracious and not be frustrated with him.

neekoneeko I hope your BBQ was fun! ambiguousmango how did Q do at the park? I'm getting excited that the J17 babies are/almost ready for playground swings. I still remember the look on ds' face when we put him in for the first time. thelittleredm I hope your trip goes smoothly. Sorry to hear about your grandma's health issues. I hope she loves seeing the kids ❤️ Bunny way to go little bunny! When I got my first pp period last week I used tampons and a regular pad because I did not trust the tampon! heybulldog I'm glad your mom is coming to visit, enjoy the mini break! peaseblossom55 I'm glad you enjoyed the BBQ. Hooray foranother successful outing with the baby! meeggaannw boo Mr. Meeggaanw. I hope he makes it up to you because that's not cool.

ellabee no drinking on the beach but I came back to a g&t on the porch. After bedtime mh and I went to the ice cream parlor for a date and walked back on the beach. It was nice to recharge my batteries and have some kid free time today. I was cranky and burned out that morning.

Hi guys! We're trying to cram as much fun into our Chicago trip as possible! The kids have been troopers and did great on the flight. We're headed to the aquarium this morning! M has taken most of her naps in the Ergo but doesn't seem to mind too much and I've successfully nursed in public for the first time(s).

Enjoy the aquarium carrots! Great job nursing while out and about. It takes balls. Are you doing it in the ergo? I think I finally got the hang of it so I don't need to unstrap dd.

meeggaannw I would be pretty sour with my husband about that. Hopefully your night turned around. carrots I am glad you are enjoying your trip. Also yay for successful public breastfeeding! I was really nervous the first few times too and was pleasantly surprised at how nbd it was after. Lakes he did well. This kid loves being outside. Also I didn't even think about him getting close to being g able to swing, at what age does that happen?

ambiguousmango according to my Instagram, ds was around 6 months. I would bring a little blanket to stuff in the swing with him and make it a bit more cozy.

E slept until 9 it was wonderful. I really need to take E to the playground. There are so many near me.
E is finally sitting unassisted!
