Speech was cancelled so we have no plans and I haven't finished my coffee so I'm not able to make any yet. Not functioning.

I'm trying to decide if I want to go shoe shopping for LO today or wait until a weekday. I should probably catch up on all the stuff I didn't do this past week though. Not sure what LO has in mind yet for the weekend (or how much of it is reasonable - last weekend he wanted to build rocket boots).

The ILs are in town, so between that and the holiday it's been a busy week. I'm going out tonight for drinks with girlfriends (holy introvert panic, Batman!). DD has her first ever sleepover tonight, too. She's very excited and we're excitedly nervous. She's never been away from us over night. One of us has always been at home and done a bedtime routine with her. She may or may not be brushing her teeth tonight.

And they actually brushed their teeth, so maybe it's not a total loss How old is she?

She's routine oriented (mostly) so I'm sure she'll remind people to brush teeth if it's forgotten. If not oh well, it's only one night. There are reasons we don't trust family so she's never been away from us. ETA it's a friend sleepover. 4 little girls giggling and having a blast ❤️

We're car shopping again. I hope we settle on something today.
We have plans to go out later. We're meeting a couple of SOs friends out. Should be fun!

DH is working with my dad to run the electrical wire for the outlets in the new kitchen. Slowly but surely we are making progress on this reno.
We did go out for a bit this morning to pick up some beer for our mini-vac in Canada next week. Craft beer up there is freakin' expensive.
Tomorrow my plan for the day is to do laundry and get most of our stuff packed & ready to go so I only have to throw together the last minute stuff on Tuesday before we leave. Really looking forward to a few days off from work. It is much needed.

We went out today to Target to get DS new backpack & lunch box since cartwheel was having 20% off. DS didn't have much of an opinion either way so that was nice. Lol we got a super cute cat & jack space/astronaut one. On the back it says 'I am invincible' which is pretty fitting to his life story. After that we went to big lots, they were also having a 20% off day, got some stuff. Concluded the day with some park time & now ds is in the pool with his boats we picked up.

I tried so hard to convince B to pick that astronaut backpack, but he wanted the Minion. Damn.

bobyn, I'm so sorry for what your family has had to deal with this week. I'm sending creepy internet stranger hugs your way and hoping for the best possible outcome for your MIL and cousin.

We had a really good day today. My BFF and her family came over - her little girl is five days younger than DS, and she has a sweet little three month old son. He was kind of fussy and it was really kind of lovely to be able to bounce a baby a little for her, calm him down, and then know that when he wakes for his MOTN feeding, he's all hers The only downer is that my house was clean earlier today. After two toddlers running around, it is... less than clean. But toys can be picked up tomorrow, because for now I'm on my second glass of wine.

We drove to a fancy playground 45 minutes away that we've been meaning to check out for a while now & ds spent most of the time at the sandbox. Dude, we could have done that at home. He was also the oldest kid there. I've been noticing that lately when we go places. Do older kids not like playing outside anymore? Much confused.

NamasteBirches DS and the rest of my summer crew are often the oldest ones playing on the playgrounds. So many people just don't take advantage of what we have to offer. bobyn so many hugs and love sent your way. I'm keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

We've narrowed our car decision...but still haven't made a final choice. We're leaning toward the Subaru Outback though. Final decision will be made on Tuesday when SOs off again.
We went to a small amusement park about 1.5 hours away in the next state over. It was very old school but fun! We're enjoying these little day trips we've been making this summer.

I sometimes feel bad there's just babies & toddlers for him to socialize with at times when we go places but he usually doesn't seem to mind. It's just nerve racking for me to make sure he doesn't trample them or accidentally doesn't see they're there or something.
