We're doing a DIY Touch-A-Truck birthday party for Jack. The construction equipment is already there and we're going to bring up all the tractors and borrow a few from the neighbors and FIL is going to bring a big dump truck. I'm going to see if my brother can get the township plow truck.. Maybe a fire truck.

I also found a fire museum in Cincinnati you can rent for parties for Matthew's 4th. And it's really decently priced! I'm so excited for their birthdays!

Glad the interview went well. snoopmommymomxolastunicornxo I lurked very little this last pregnancy. It was pretty slow there and they didn't move with the last exodus. Never would have been able to keep up with both. I can't even lurk parenting like I used to and kind of bummed about it.

xolastunicornxo, I joined A16 but am not super active. They're only on facebook now in a private group and it drives me nuts because I get 9238749236492349732 notifications a day when people post there.

I'm getting a late start this morning. I needed the sleep after our busy day yesterday.
I need to get our night time routine on track. Every night around 9pm is a clusterfuck and it truly stems from the evening. It's probably at the fault of both Mh and I. His busy season starts today and he won't be home until pretty late for the next 2 weeks, so I'm hoping I can get a solid routine established while I'm solo. Writing it out may help, so I need to get on that.

morning! The kids are at daycare today and I'm home getting ready for our weekend of camping with DH's family. I'm not overly excited about. We won't be sleeping in tents, but little cabins with just beds and a table. No kitchens and just the campground bathroom. Blech. NMS. We leave tomorrow morning so it will be just 2 nights which is good.
Tonight we have a babysitter and are going to Sushi. I need to start my weekend off with something not cooked over a campfire!

snoopmommymom glad the interview went well! vino I love your use of the word nattering. Is that a Canadian thing? I might have to adopt it into my vocabulary. S and I are sitting in the waiting room at the ophthalmologist and I have watched one really annoying dad move seats 3 times to talk to different people. He thinks he's a comedian and he has a radio voice. I'm praying I'm not next on the hit list. I'm practicing my RBF hard and trying to look busy on my phone while S is watching bubble guppies on her iPod. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm procrastinating at work. I'm thinking of visitng my parents aka going to Disneyland in January/early Feb. I can get 3 plane tickets for a total of $478. WTF? chrisy01 Is that a good time to go to DL or are they closed. I obviously know nothing. I haven't been on a plane in a couple of years, and maybe I'm basing my prices on New York to LA, but that seems like a good price.

It was a guy in the grocery store this morning with his almost 2-year-old doing the same thing. Making him flip off of his thighs and holding the by his ankle and letting h him dangle. It all made me very uncomfortable. Clearly he was looking for a reaction.

That's great news, @snoop. Keep us updated. Re: Second babies. I see both sides of the maturity fence. Charlie is the baby. I have a feeling I could have four more kids, and his personality would still be that of the youngest. But he is a better eater than Josie was at that age, and he is much more physically daring than she ever was. He does try to talk like she does which is hysterical because it's still just a bunch of gibberish.

I was going to use a K at first, but then felt like it looked off. Plus, I didn't want her initials to be KEG. ETA: tell her to get ready for people to call her Candice. So. Many. Times.

And lucky for him that I'm done, so he can remain the baby. And yes, major LOLs to thinking they can talk like the older sib. C cracks me up bc he will grab a book and do it like he's reading.

I paid more than that for just me & M to fly out to visit my sister in June.

Some of my cousins from out of town are coming to Jersey (specifically Atlantic City) for the weekend. They told us we should come down and hang out for a night or two. I don't know what to do. Being at the beach would be great, and it would be extra awesome to have a whole other set of hands to help us, but hotels for Saturday night are just astronomical (Sunday's not much better), and it's not like it's just me and mh going so it's not like we'd have late nights of fun. Basically, we'd be paying to go to a beach (one I don't really like), and eat out at a nice restaurant super early. Clearly I'm leaning to not going, but seeing family is important.

Her name starts with a K so I'm thinking thats why they did that. But the y is bothering me so bad. And she misspelled her middle name too.. Poor girl will be correcting everyone all the time.

A girl on my FB just posted that her daughters softball team is doing a raffle fundraiser. The prizes of the raffle are guns, hunting trips, and coolers of booze. I'm just not sure these are prizes a child's softball team should be raffling off.....

Hi from Norway 🇳🇴! Our trip over here was very very long, but our sister welcomed us so sweetly it made all of it worth while. The cabin on our both was amazing, so big and fancy! Currently sipping wine on a very big soft couch while Dh and my sister cook dinner. Life's good.

Oh my god, you guys. So, Landon and Lucas both start school Monday. I assumed ryland did too, and when I talked to the school psychologist last week (who was brand new and obviously didn't know what was going on) she confirmed school started Monday.
It didn't. It started today. Which I realized as I was eating breakfast and scrolling through Facebook and saw other friends posting about the first day of school where he goes. I mean, it's not the end of the world because it's preschool and he's went last year so we hauled butt and got him there only 30 minutes late, but i feel like a shitty mom. Like who doesn't realize it's the first day of school?
