So exciting rooskie!! Today we are getting a snow storm. The boys are beyond excited. Be can’t wait to go outside. Our last storm didn’t amount to much and it was more icy than snow. This means a lazy day at home. We also tackled a Christmas present for my mom this morning. I’m watching a Hallmark movie and we have a football game on later. I’m excited for only two days of work this week.

Both kids have a cold so I cancelled church and our plans for the Christmas parade. DS1 isn’t at all disappointed which is great. Ds2 woke at midnight and wouldn’t go back down till 1- I of course was awake then until 3 and both boys were up at 630 😒 naps are happening today.

Howdy! We took the girls to Frozen II today and they had a great time. C is so into Frozen, she loved it. It was a great first movie theater experience for her. We're also getting a new car. We're going to pick up my new Subaru Ascent Wednesday night and I'm super excited! thatgolfb, car twin *pointy eye thing* We only have a half day with students tomorrow then parent teacher conferences the rest of the day. No clue what they expect from us at work Tuesday but I plan to step out and do my Thanksgiving shopping at some point 🤷🏻♀️

Seriously, though, I love my car so much. We were also twins in that we took the girls to see Frozen 2 yesterday. We all loved it. I was not confident about taking a 2 year old to the movie theater, but she did great. I was nervous to give her popcorn, but that's what kept her in her seat, and she didn't choke, so all was fine.

My sister, nephews, parents, and MIL are all at our house this week! Well, the grandparents are staying at a hotel, but the kids and my sister are staying at my house (and my parents' dog). It is CHAOS. But fun chaos. I am enjoying the quiet at work right now, though, haha.
A 5 year old, two 2 year olds, and a 10 month old are quite the crew.

How’s the job going cnf? Are you making it work for yourself? I also have a Subaru Ascent. I love it. My dad sells Subarus so I'm kind of a Suby snob, lol. Job is ok. I'm making it work. My sixth grade class is legit a computer science class so I've been having to teach myself coding and robotics in my free time to stay a step ahead of the kids. The seventh grade class is more like life skills and my CTE cohort has taught the class at a previous district so he's putting all the together in exchange for me doing the front load of sixth grade. It's something. But I was told they're really happy with me rolling with the punches because other teachers would have long since quit, so they're working on putting together some kind of social emotional learning class for me to teach next year. That is significantly more in my wheelhouse and I'd love to teach something like that. I actually don't mind the CS class as much because I'm a huge science nerd. I'm less excited about seventh grade. I don't find teaching career research and interviewing and all that very exciting. Important yes, but just not for me. So yeah, it's going. I'll manage and see what the plan is for next year 🤷🏻♀️

Yay for all the new cars. I want a new car, but my 11 year old Suzuki Grand Vitara is fine. Fine. I just got it detailed inside and out from work for my ten year anniversary, so it looks alright now too. I will go google the Ascent now and I loled at the 19 cup holders, wow. I do think my next car might be an electric car though.
We're fine. DD was great at swimming lessons last night, so patient waiting to play with the watering can in the baby pool afterwards "me have next?" she kept asking the kid who had it and "I wait". Nothing much of interest going on for us otherwise. I'm looking forward to DHs Christmas party this weekend, at the very least the food should be good and I finally get to wear the dress I bought a couple months ago randomly.
DD is starting to stay up later these days, anyone else find that? It used to be 7, but now it's between 7:30 and 8.

A big part of that though is he naps much later at daycare. At home he’d nap between 10:30-11. At daycare they nap at noon. So he’s definitely not as tired at bedtime. We’ve been keeping the daycare schedule at home to keep things easy.

Happy Thanksgiving N17! DH is prepping 2 big turkeys and C is afraid of them. Every time he has gone into the kitchen this morning he looks very wary and runs away lol.

Good morning! Ds2 has a stomach bug. H and I will have to decide if we’re all staying home or if we’ll tag team going out. Fx no one else gets it or we all get it quick because Ds2’s party is on Sunday 😬

So I’m thinking ds2’s stomach bug was actually a reaction to his baked dairy. I’m calling the allergist on Monday but I gave him an antihistamine and within 15minutes he was acting back to normal.

Hi all. I volunteered with marines Thanksgiving morning and it was so fulfilling. Then onto my ILs for dinner. Kids skipped naps and crashed hard driving home. DS slept for 15 hours.... Yesterday was a mess because we noticed some water damage on our walls from the rain we’ve been getting. I hate adulting. Last night DS was up throwing up, so I don’t know if he has a bug or what. I hate when babies are sick. “Does your tummy still hurt?” The weakest of little “yeah”. 😭

I hate water damage. I hope you can get yours fixed quickly and easily. I also hope your LO is feeling better.

Hello and happy Sunday! We have our first winter storm of the year. The snow is so pretty but it’s very heavy/wet so it will take some time to clear out the driveway. DH came home early from hunting, thank goodness, it’s so nice to have him home. I have grand plans to deep clean the house, solo grocery shop, and then we’re going to the ILs this afternoon to watch the Packer game and make Christmas cookies.

I saw they were calling for 8+! Was your H successful hunting? My H and his group got 4 but they said there was hardly any shots heard in the area and the 4 they got were the only 4 they saw.

We’ve got about 6 inches so far. No, he didn’t get anything. One of the guys in his group got 1 of the 3 trophy bucks they were tracking on their land, but that was during bow season. I think they saw a couple doe last weekend but didn’t shoot because they were still holding out for the other 2 bucks. This weekend, when they would’ve been less picky, they didn’t see anything! MH is pretty bummed.

I’m really nervous because of how much the paint peeling showed up with this storm, so it’s just filling in our wall above the windows I think. We are supposed to get 4 days of rain this week, so we need to figure out some tarping. And then the neighbor mentioned something that really makes me wonder if it hasn’t been an ongoing issue. I’m scared they are going to find mold. I’m calling our insurance this afternoon. Along with decorating for Christmas and baking a turkey that was on sale from Costco. I’m already ready for bed....😩

Nothing much planned, just dinner out with my parents tonight. DH will buy me a necklace from a local jeweler, I just have to go get it!! My mom already bought me some skincare and makeup products 😁
