Cadence said she didn't want dinner. I went to check on her a few minutes later and she had fallen asleep. I immediately woke her up and told her if she didn't want dinner she could take a bath and go to bed. She decided after bath that she was hungry and ate her dinner, then fell asleep during bedtime stories with mh, so I didn't get to tuck her in. Hoping she is back to herself in the morning. Ends up she woke up at 530 this morning, plus no nap = one tired three year old!

Happy anniversary wedding! Glad to hear C is feeling a bit better! I'm sorry trtlcrzy I'm sorry to hear about your grandma. Busy weekend here. My sister is in town and we had baptism practice today. Then we did family pictures of the kids and they turned out great and didn't cost a million dollars. I'm super tired but onward to tomorrow with the baptism, then brunch, then playtime after naps and then dinner with my ILs and driving home. My niece randomly spiked a fever tonight (and has been all over N for the past 36 hours), so that's a fun New twist too😬

xolastunicornxo watch the light grey. I was going for light grey with a soft yellow stripe. The grey we picked ended up reading as light purple, which ended up being fine, but you might not like it. Yeah greys can be tricky. The main color we went with in the house ended up having a light blue tone in the light as opposed to pure grey, which was fine because we ended up liking it. You really have to find a "pure" grey without purple or blue tones. I think I found one that will work! Thank you! The grey we went with for our house ended up having a light blue tint to it as well and I love it!

The grey colors all looked different depending on the lighting in the room. I prefer slightly more blue/purple in my grey over beige/brown. Nursery sounds adorable. I can't wait to see updated pics of your new house. Such an exciting time for you guys!

Low key morning here. L and I am up. It's so weird not having C here. I'm about to make egg whites but really want cinnamon rolls.

Morning. Early morning with lots of packing, can't wait to be on the ferry Wednesday and be done with packing and the biggest part of the car ride.

Morning.
Lots of organizing and putting away today (all the boxes have been emptied and are in the garage, so that's a help). Our last house had insane amounts of storage and this house, while adequate, does not; I thought I did a pretty good job purging before we moved but we have a Goodwill box going and it's filling up. I guess that's one good thing about having all your stuff in storage for a bit--you figure out what you can and can't live without.

Morning. We're still on bed. N is playing on my iPad and I hear h stirring now. We're going to go to a pottery festival this afternoon and then to my sisters for dinner to celebrate her birthday. We had fun at the lake yesterday and I was in bed before 10 so I'm definitely rested.

Thanks guys. She's about an hour away so I could definitely make the trip if I decide to. I didn't end up going today, we'll see about tomorrow. I'm sorry. I don't know your relationship but I have a number of family members that I'm not close with that I wouldn't go for. I have no clue what your relationship is, but whatever you decide to do is the right thing for you and you shouldn't feel any guilt about it.

I didn't attend one of my grandmother's funerals and I have no regrets. We were not close at all.

I'm currently stuffing my face with biscuits & gravy. Probably a bad idea but it's delicious.
We'll be heading to my in laws' house after H's next nap.

DH is at Costco and the kids are eating a late breakfast and watching Paw Patrol. We really need to cut the grass today. I also want to get mulch for under parts of the playset since it's hard to cut. Other than that, no plans. We may end up at IKEA later because we need to return a nightstand and buy a dresser that our guests can use. His mom is coming in 1.5 weeks so we'd like to have it ready for her. She's staying 4 weeks (gulp)!!

I forgot how easy it is to only have 1 kid! Especially 1 kid who is not a challenging 3 year old who doesn't nap!! We are missing C though, but really enjoying our time with just L.

C is a wreck this morning. We went to my parents house to play with his cousins and he wanted a toy his cousin had and threw a fit and it hurt his throat. It turned into an hour long sobbing session followed by a half an hour of me trying to get him to take his pain meds. He's still not eating and not drinking much. I'm at a loss here. Dh is not being empathetic and I feel like it's all on me. I just feel sad and hopeless. I can't believe he is still in this much pain.

Biscuits and gravy sound amazing right now tgrimes. I had Raisin Bran 😜We had the best place at home for that type of thing, I'll have to find the equivalent here. I dug out the PnP for C and set it up on the screened in porch. She is supervising DH and B doing yardwork. It's the cutest, she's squealing 'orders' at them.

DH just left for a work trip to California. DD has become obsessed with makeup and wants to use gift cards she got for her birthday to buy some. DH doesn't like it but I think it's harmless so I'm taking her to get some. DS1 has his first scrimmage for next hockey season tonight. He's sad because DH rarely misses games.

Also, DD has a birthday party next weekend for triplets. What kind of gifts could I get that don't seem cheap but also don't cost me $100 for a 90 minute party?

kim22 jigsaw puzzles. You could probably find one that has multiple puzzles in one, so you wouldn't have to buy more than one.

wedding I'm so sorry it seems like it's all on you. If I could I'd fly up there, give you all the hugs and take C off your hands for a bit. I wonder if someone else offered him a Popsicle or drink if he'd take it. I know M would. In the meantime

kim22 How old are they? I like the puzzles @ board games idea. If they're older, you could you go to Claire's and buy some earrings, bracelets or necklaces.
