Maybe this belongs in the confessions thread, but I just learned what OBX means. I've seen it used on here several times but always thought it was something Canadian... I just learned it recently too. I've never been, so.. why would I know it?

Betweenthelines and Peekaru LOL. They were definitely left too long, we just got back from camping for four days, they were no where near being ready to pick when we left. DH thinks it shows his manhood or something, so there is another one in there, bigger than that one and he wants to leave it to see how big it will get! Lol! No one's going to eat it.

I just realized DD2's party is in one week. Other than a trial run on her cake, I have done zero planning. I'm regretting not scheduling it for H's long weekend. I feel for you. I'm so glad kids birthdays are behind me until next July. Hallelujah!

jedi all this flea talk makes me not want to own any animals anytime soon. This sounds terrible, I hope it gets under control soon. There is a long list as to why you should never get pets. Very long. Spare yourself. H has the itch. As of now, I've stalled him until both kids are potty trained. I'll work on a new stall tactic when I'm no longer wiping butts.

I hope both kids don't need shots tomorrow. 9:10 is too early to be dealing with 2 kids that both need shots. Keep your fx for me.

I'm working really hard at being more #breezy about parenting. We agreed last minute to go with 2 other couples to a lake house tomorrow. She said there are 5 beds but I think 3 bedrooms. Other couples have 2 kids each, DD1 and 2's ages. I have no problem cramming all 5 of us in one room but... DD3 is... DD3. My other 2 have been asleep for at least an hour and I'm still in her room bouncing, nursing, rocking her. And she gets up motn once usually. fx there's a laundry room or somewhere I can stick her. Pack n play? Fort for all the kids and baby in your room? Send your H alone and starfish your own bed?

redandblue, I riffed on a couple recipes. Here's what I did. 2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, unsifted 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup olive oil 1 cup white granulated sugar 1 cup brown sugar 3 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla 2 teaspoons grated orange and/of lemon peel 3 cups shredded zucchini 1 cup chocolate chips Preheat oven to 350. Combine dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, beat olive oil, sugars, eggs and vanilla. Add zucchini and citrus zest. Stir in dry ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour into a greased bundt pan and bake 40-50 minutes. Or, pour into 3 greased 9" round layer pans. Layer with jam and top with a chocolate glaze. Haven't tasted yet (about to!) but it's looking good.

Peekaru definitely pnps for DD2 and 3. I'm more concerned about DD3 screaming and waking up or keeping up 3 two year olds and 3 four year olds. White noise machine to drown some of it out?
