I'm going to say I'm somewhere between a POOPCUP and a POONCUP then. E is a wildman but puts on a good face around others. (22 months old)
I'm struggling this weekend. So exhausted. Our wild child is on a sleeping strike at night but luckily is napping OK. So I've been laying down for like 2 hours in the middle of the day. DH took him to sleep with him in the guest bed last night so that helped but I still don't feel great. #thestruggleisreal
We have been still doing some fun things, we went to our favorite ice cream shop yesterday....I got a waffle cone with a scoop of Italian Lemon Cookie (so lemony!) and a scoop of 4th of July (marscapone with raspberry puree and blueberry). Their flavors are so creative and delicious and they are always getting recognized for being so great. They are changing ownership this summer but the new owners promise to keep it the same, use the same recipes, etc. I feel like there is a lot of pressure on them to stick to that, so I hope they do! Not that I don't realize change can be good but their ice cream is sooo good and the set-up is very rustic but charming. OK, that is a long story about my ice cream yesterday! That's clearly what is on my mind.

maddisonrose, did you guys go to the zoo? Lots of zoo talk! peachesncream ajetter The National Zoo is about an hour and a half away, but we haven't been with E yet. I took him to the smaller zoo about an hour away and I'll probably do that again at some point this summer. I really want to take him to the aquarium in Baltimore, it is beautiful! tiffrobot, that sounds like an awesome day! When you say football, are you talking what we call soccer? (not sure about what terms you guys use in Canada!) hiimjamie, tell us about your new glasses. I wear glasses too, so I'm obsessed. I got some funky cat eye ones last winter and thought I'd wear them every now and then but I wear them all the time! They are so fun. I started using Zenni online and I acknowledge the quality isn't as good but it is fun to buy a cheap pair for like $30 that is kind of fun or bright or whatever. jessijean, I hope you are feeling OK today.

easternshoregirl nope, CFL is very similar to the NFL with just a few differences. The most notable being the field and ball is bigger in the CFL, and there is 3 downs rather than 4. We live a couple hours from the city our team plays in, so we don't go to as many games as we did pre-kids, but we took them to their first game last year which was a blast, and have tickets for us all at the end of this month and I'm extra pumped because we are in a brand new awesome stadium this year!!

Anyone else still having discharge?
Last night was rough. We have family members staying with us for the fourth. She has two boys, 3 and 5 and they are soooo hyper. She was doing the best she could to keep them quiet but around 10 they woke up DS (who is the lightest sleeper ever) and it took over two hours to get him back down. Then I was dealing with insomnia and DS woke up early! I'm wiped out!
Fortunately I got a good nap in (as did DS).

She's pretty good most of the time, but I interrupted her digging a serious hole in the sand and could only get her to sit by telling her she'd get a tic tac |

We just got home from a day at my Inlaws. We bought D a blow up pool to keep him occupied for the day. The poor guy is going to be exhausted by the time this weekends over.
I'm trying to get him into Moana. We've tried a few times but he's not as into it as me and I want to see the ending!

POOPCUP here! However, my first is crazy. Like jump off the counter, run at full speed into the wall crazy. My second will probably try to keep up and then I'll just have to have a permanent IV of wine. That means you're not a POOPCUP then, you're a POONCUP- parent of one nutty child under preschool-age. I'm a POONCUP, too. Surely our next babies will be calm and easy, right!?!? I just laughed out loud reading this. I'm really hoping the next kid can't be MORE nutty. I think I can handle equally nutty because I'm already surviving. Right? Right?!!! |

They're so boring! My broken pair are Tory Birch. The arms are blue and the front of the glasses are tortoise shell. These are all tortoise shell. We literally popped my old lenses out and put them in these. The guy went and grabbed a pair that would work and did it. I didn't even get to pick. Sad face. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Aw bummer, hiimjamie. The broken ones sound really cute! I do like tortoise shell, whether it is combined with color or just by itself. Two of my pairs in current rotation are some kind of tortoise shell. |
