wedding what about taking him to an ice cream shop or frozen yogurt place? That makes it more fun to eat because you have all the options and such.

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. They are turning 7, 2 girls and a boy.

wedding I'm sorry C is still in so much pain... maybe try a suppository? It's the only pain medication we use with ds, works fast and he doesn't have to take it orally.

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. I know right?! My parents took ds on a walk this morning. Dh and I wondered why we thought we were busy with one and how nice is it to give J 100% of our attention from time to time ☺️. ETA I also love spending some one-on-one with ds, he's so cute and sweet when he gets his special time.

Jack passed out at 8 last night. It was so strange to have 3 hours before we went to sleep with just peach. And he's the easy one in the evenings.

DS1 was such a difficult baby in my head. Now with number 4, I plan to complete 30 credits and train a puppy while the other 3 are in school because, 1 baby is going to be easy (I ordered an easy one this time.)

Is this like a box you check before sex? I need to know for the next one. I'm sorry he isn't doing better wedding! Sounds like you've tried everything and then some / : I hope he turns a corner soon

wedding can he have magic mouthwash they give kids with HFM? That's supposed to numb their throats which could help him eat/drink.

I am sitting in my car for a couple minutes before I have to go into work. MIL picked up H an hour ago to take her to a princess in the park event. I bet she is loving her life right now.

**trigger warning**
My sister called me to let me know my grandma passed a little before 1:30. I didn't go up to see her but my dad told me earlier when I talked to them that she went to sleep last night and didn't wake up this morning at all.

The neighborhood girls are doing makeovers here. I was ok that they look straight out of 1990. I am not ok that they cleaned up with tissues then washed them down the drain. If I were a plumber, I'd vomit every single day.
Now they are making slime.

The boys (and I) have rebounded and are happily playing in the water table and pool. DH is zonked out on the couch and I'm just happy most of my Sunday chores are done.

They were going to at the ER but one of the components is Benadryl they said and he gets hyper on it so they opted for the Vicodin. He's been asleep for 4.5hrs now. I'm sure he will wake in pain but I'm hoping the rest will help.

I know he gets hyper but at least maybe he could eat something. Idk. It's a win-lose situation I think.
