We got home at 1 am. It's now 7:30 and I'm up with Mallory and Matthew. Mallory started rubbing my face as she woke up like she always does. Then it must have dawned on her because she sat up super fast and smiled at me 😊

Morning. The kids have a Halloween party at school today but weren’t allowed to wear costumes so they both have Halloween shirts on. They also had to bring an extra snack for the party because they aren’t allowing the teachers to pass out treats. Some of the rules are so dumb. Like 3 people in each kids’ class wear a mask so I don’t know what they are trying to prevent. V is sick. She’s had a runny nose for a couple days but last night she was coughing quite a bit and then had a massive, gross blowout this morning. She’s very snuggly (which is very unusual) and I’m not complaining. I’m planning to get the pumpkin pizza from papa Murphy’s for supper tonight,

Morning!
We had B's parade this morning, and as usual, he decided he did not want to wear his costume about 5 minutes before it was time to leave. He finally agreed to wear his rainbow costume (which was basically just a rainbow he could pull over his head, so nothing too much) and got him out the door.
He was adamant he didn't want to participate in the parade & then he came out and was so happy and participating until he noticed some parent brought their dog. He is completely terrified of dogs (like, irrationally so), so he freaked out and came running to me so he didn't have to walk near the dog. He was able to recover pretty quickly though and let his teacher walk with him past the dog, so that was good.
I'll post pics in the halloween thread later, after S parade this afternoon.

I found out yesterday that kindergarten is not having an afternoon snack. I wrote to Charlie's teacher because so much of his food was coming home and he's famished when he gets home. He told me he doesn't have enough time to eat everything at lunch, but said he didn't have the afternoon snack, so I thought he had to be confused. He's not. His teacher said that they aren't doing afternoon snack because their lunch is so late in the day, but it's at 11:50 which is exactly what time Josie has lunch, and she still has afternoon snack so I'm not sure what the situation is. I personally think they're not doing it because there are 20 kids in the class and it's a real challenge to get them to organize themselves for a snack but that might be my cynical brain taking over.

Yesterday was super busy. We got home around midnight from Hamilton and I want to work which was nonstop busy. Then trunk or treat at the kids school.
L was really naughty at school on Wednesday so he only got to pass out candy and today I was going to have 1:1 time with him at Knott’s but that’s not happening now.
Oh and our nanny for us going to see Hamilton had to cancel on us last minute. She had a family emergency. Luckily my friend B’s sons (18/15) watched them. I paid them the amount I was going to pay the nanny so they were excited. We barely made it but we did.

So the youngest cat came into the bathroom this morning, while I was getting ready, looking for attention, as usual. Went to pick him up, something spooked him, idk, air I guess and I now have a ripped up right palm and a ripped up left wrist. Time for nail trimming! I'll have to go to the pharmacy after work to try and find better bandages because right now I have my hand wrapped and its just not usable at all.
Cadence went to school as Lucky from Spirit today. I finished her shirt last night and after dance she was a complete beast. It turned into her telling me I was mean and she wanted nothing to do with me. For reference, I asked her to take a shower before dinner rather than after since she was all sweaty form dance class. I know, I'm horrible.
She did apologize just before bed (and she DID take that shower before dinner) and we worked out a compromise that on dance nights when she gets home, if dinner is ready, then shower is after dinner, but if dinner is still cooking, then she has to shower first. I was glad that she apologized on her own and was willing to compromise.

tgrimes you deserve it. I hope you find a day soon to enjoy some pampering. guster they definitely need snack. S only has morning snack, but his lunch is at 12:45 or something like that and school gets out at 3:10. He has a snack first thing when he gets to aftercare (in the same building, so like 3:15)

We had a girls night the other evening and had a blast. Went to eat at the Chinese restaurant by our TKD place. They never charge the girls when they get rice there for dinner when MH and I are taking class so they were excited to introduce me to their friends and drink all the tea. We started Just Beyond on Disney+ which is basically Twilight Zone for kids. It's fun.
Lily loves the rats so much and they love to play together. It's adorable. They had a blast chasing either other last night. They basically play hide and seek.
Tonight we have a Halloween party at TKD, followed by Trunk or Treat at the school, then straight to dropping the girls off at a neighbor's Halloween party. I would like to believe my kids will crash afterward...but I know them.

Hi. I’m just getting home from running errands after the dropping off M2. I feel like I’ve been on the road all week with appointments, drop off and pickup, karate, etc. Even though I only worked 1 day this week, I haven’t been home much at all. I would like to spend the rest of the day on the couch, but alas, I have other stuff to do. We were supposed to go to a trunk or treat on base tonight, but it’s cancelled because of the rain. The boys are not going to be happy, so I need to check around and see if there is another event we can do. guster if they don’t get afternoon snack, they need to extend their lunch hour so the kids have time to eat all their food. chrisy01 Glad it worked out for you finally!

Tgif - it's super rainy here. The girls have been home all week and mh is off, which has been nice. Trunk or treats seem like a lot of work to be festive - I'm glad we just do regular trick or treating in our neighborhood. J has a Halloween party at aftercare and we sent in his baseball uniform since I we didn't want to send in his bulky crab costume.

SSDD busy at work organising a day that might get cancelled next Tuesday 🤦🏼♀️. We’ve decorated the house, jungle banners and balloons galore over here, plus I made little posters with pictures of ds with okapis (at the zoo of course) even the wrapping paper is within theme. I’m planning to let them pick themes for eternity. I love planning this silly stuff. I really should become a party planner…

They do have a morning snack. All grades should have both am and pm. I wouldn't jump to the principal without a conversation with the teacher. She's amenable so I hope it won't be an issue.

You can’t be the only parent whose kid is hungry. That’s a long time for kids, especially when they are active all day.

I took today and Monday off from work to decompress but then today was busy with groceries, cleaning, and other misc stuff that needed to be done due to the power outage. I was able to sneak out for an hour and get a pedicure with a friend.
It’s going to pour tomorrow which means soccer and our zip lining trip is canceled again due to weather. They are only open two more weeks for the season and fully booked. Instead we are going to Cs friends bday party. They are having a Beyblade tournament so it should be fun.

I have Kaiser too and am doing the same. My 1SG is one of the ones who runs the vax mission for the NG and I've been restraining myself about texting him on a Friday night. I drill next weekend and wonder if they'll be vaxxing kids then.

I scheduled M's online. I didn't want to take her out of school to do it though so hers is 11/18. I'm hoping I'll be able to schedule H's as soon as he turns 5 soon.
