It's raining. Dd is going to be so sad because it was waterslide day at DC. Boo.
But tomorrow I'm getting my hair done, sil and bil are coming over tomorrow night so we can clean up the wedding list and then...
It's dds 4th birthday on Sunday!!!! Her request was to go the the huge animal farm that also has big blowup water slides, pony rides,a giraffe, etc., and then dinner after. Works for me!

I'm in Nola, eating all the things. It is hot though. Our Airbnb house is super nice but the chairs in the living room are white. (We picked this place because there is a crib). Have you read the thread on parenting about the vegan cafe? Omg so funny.

I'm going to pull over a few conversations from Thursday: 45thparallel - I wish she was pretending to be a dog. I'm not really sure what she is doing, to be honest. All I know is the novelty has worn off. amberlie - Do you have a working dishwasher after he was there for 3 colorful hours?! shellyr - I don't think we have Sister Wives in this area, though it would make sense on the poor planning/placement of the house. I really wonder if they just wanted to be in the area that bad that they didn't care and didn't want to purchase an already established house. I don't know. I may have to take a sneaky picture sometime. skinandbones - McDonald's is usually a once a week thing here (twice if we do a dinner and a breakfast). DS called it the "food house" for the longest time and know calls it "MissDonald's". You drive by certain restaurants and fast food chains and he'll point them out to you though. Oops.

It's a rainy morning here, but it is supposed to clear out soon. I hope so because it is water play day for both kids at DC today and I sent DS in wearing his water stuff. They won't go out until after breakfast and it was definitely supposed to move out by 9.

I sent the following meme to my BFF last night: Well, it was quick planning. We are going to a vineyard tonight for some wine slushies and food. H told me not to rush home. He is totally expecting to get lucky when I get home.

It's raining off and on here today so I think I might take the kiddos to the library. We might hit up the playground if there's a long break in the rain, but everyone seems pretty tired today. DD1 and DS are snuggled on the couch watching cartoons and DD2 is already back asleep. I'm restless and don't know what to do with myself.

My parents are rolling into town today so I have some last minute stuff to tend to.
DH kinda of annoyed me this morning. I mentioned Little's activity fee was due today. He looked at me like I had 3 heads. I pointed out it was in the packet of stuff that has been on the fridge for the past month. Dude, you have access to the same information I do!
Lots of work to get done today. I'm also getting a new work car (yahoo!) and need to get my outgoing car detailed so I need to somehow find time for that.

skinandbones, A calls McDonalds the happy meal place - and points them out all.the.time. And she only goes once in a blue moon. So what i am really saying is I don't think it matters how often you visit...

Looks like I'm going to get a kid free night at home this weekend! We were going to visit DH's parents but I got an email reminder that I signed up to do online grading this week, including Sunday morning! So he'll take E down there and I'll get a night at home by myself!!! I'm also working Mon and Tues nights though. What was I thinking? The money is decent but still, it is hard for me to get motivation up to work when I'm off in the summers.

So, a guy I work with also happens to work at the game farm we are going to on the weekends, and he usually hooks us up. He just came and told me to go through the party entrance (free admission) and handed me a mess of free pony and train ride tokens. SCORE!

I've only taken DD to McDonald's twice. Once when she was around 15 months (she hated it and refused to eat it) and then the second time was 2 weeks ago after her graduation. Just me and her.
Two weeks later, she still says to me "Hey mommy, remember when we went to McDonald's and got lunch, just me and you and then went and got italian ices? That was the best day ever" Melts my heart. And makes me want to do more little things like that, just me and her.

I'm awake. Why did this short work week still feel long?
My parents are flying in this morning, dropping me off at work and taking my car to go visit some distant relatives my mom met on ancestry.com. I could have taken off work today, but have no desire to spend my Friday driving an hour to meet a cousin of a cousin, does that make me a bad person? Excited to hang out with my parents when they get back, we have a fun weekend planned. Just hope A warms up quickly since we haven't seen them since Christmas.

I don't think we've ever taken A to McDonald's, mostly because H and I never think to eat there. Our fast food place when we need something quick is del taco or wendys for breakfast. She loves the biscuits and potatoes from Wendy's.

She loves the biscuits and potatoes from Wendy's. H doesn't eat ANY fast food. So that's really why it's never something we would do all together. I love fast food. So I guess I can be the cool mom...? idk lol
