We just got a 4th birthday invite from daycare. I don't know the kid or parents but C talks about playing with him so I'd like to go. Thoughts on what I should get as a gift? Playdoh kit? Hot wheels? Stomp rocket? Whatever C picks for him? We will likely spend $15-20. B was just talking about a stomp rocket this morning! Maybe this is the hot toy among the 4 y.o. set?

And now I clearly want one for them.

Thanks everyone! Lucky love baby on amazon are inexpensive and I bought a couple of basic colors for Charlie. They do hold up just as well, and I remember liking the packaging. Thanks for the tip! Those are cute and very affordable. The Robeez I was looking at for C are $30 or 35, can't remember. My limit for shoes at C's age is about $40; I want good quality but not empty-the-college-fund quality

So here's a question for moms of girls...what all did your dress your babies/young toddlers in for winter weather? I'm seeing lots of leggings and some jeggings, but other than that not a lot in the way of heavier-weight bottoms. Maybe bc it's still early? Last year Gymboree had fleece lined leggings I got DD for extra cold days.

LO is not having a good day. I think he's still tired but the place behind us was playing music loudly so I think that woke up.

I just got home and our first ever motor vehicle excise tax bill was in our mailbox. There are FOUR other cars listed aside from our two! This should be fun to deal with.

tgrimes I'm SO happy you get to go home today! I just got word that our power is finally back on, so I'm going home today, too! I am ready to 1) get some work done and 2) help out around the community. My brothers have been doing so much to help strangers and I'm really proud of them. My H is at the UT game and I'm going to leave when he's back from that. It took me checking at 21(!!!) gas stations yesterday but I was able to fill up so now I'm not stuck here. My H and M are going to stay through Monday I think, so I'll actually be able to get some work done. Our only issue now is that Ms school is still closed and we're not sure when they are starting back.

Morning loves!
I'm Incredibly jealous of all of your cold weather. It's still in the hundreds here, but it is cooling down at night, which is nice. (By that I mean it's dipping into the low 80's) I can't wait for comfy leggings and sweaters and fall candles!
We got up early this morning and started pulling some weeds. The backyard is pretty much a forest and we haven't even started to tackle it. Then dh made eggs benidict for breakfast, which I have totally been craving and was delicious.
We have to do a big Home Depot run today and unpack some more stuff, then we are going to a friends house for a pool day and BBQ.

Morning. wedding I didn't know the Y does beginner baseball. I'll have to check out the schedule here to see if our Y has it. M would be thrilled. I said I didn't want to do any extra curriculars this fall, but I might make the exception. Sorry for the rough morning. cshoSo adorable. @gustergirl You guys are killing me with the talk of girls clothes. So cute. Glad to know I'm not the only one that can't commit to $60 baby Mocs. flamingo If I knew they would get use a second time, I could justify it. I like the Robeez brand, too. I have a couple pairs waiting in my amazon cart now.

flamingo big game! I am driving home today, so we probably won't watch it. A little concerned Michigan may look like minions in their all maize look today.. I just tried to do some kids shopping at the outlets and again j was a terror. We were going to kill time to try to go back to the boardwalk to do games, but he was so awful we are going home. He sprinted away from me and then was kicking me while we waited for mh to bring the car around. I'm not going to be sad to send him to school on Tuesday.

Football on the agenda today. I also have a bit more picking up to do around the house. One of M's old teachers is coming over to babysit M2 later when we go to the game. I'm a little nervous because it's during his witching hour. Some nights are better than others, so I hope tonight is a good night for him. I'll probably be worrying the whole time instead of enjoying the game.

Can you guys help me find tunics that I could wear with skinny jeans and leggings. Plain colored, but a heavier weight than the thinner clinger ones I've found in summer weight clothing? You want long sleeve, right? More like sweater material?

But still longsleeved that could be worn on its own.

Guys, all This talk of girl clothing is making my mind wander to the possibility that this baby might be a girl... there would go all my money! Truly, the struggle is real. Don't get me wrong, B has had and will continue to have nice clothes, but the girl stuff is a ton of fun. I could go crazy just on dresses for 'special occasions' (pumpkin patch, Thanksgiving dinner, etc.) alone!
