Hey guys!!
How's it going?

Yesterday we went to the monthly Home Depot workshop, went out for breakfast, & then roamed the streets for our town's annual citywide sale. We have been on the lookout for a small table for DS' playground. He already has two chairs in there but it's missing a table to keep his attention more to play in the clubhouse area. The last playground had a really small built in table so anyway after a while we found one for 4 bucks! it's one of those that the sides fold down for storage so dh is gonna sand it down & we'll paint it for him. I'm glad because no one just sells the table & since we already have chairs from his loghouse I don't want to add to our chair collection by buying a set.
Anywho after that, he had his second game & we won again! It's pretty surprising because our kids really don't seem like they have it together but somehow we're doing it. Lol

Yesterday we went to Ikea in there morning and got R her own tiny chair, which she loves. She's been hanging out in her travel car seat, so I figured it was time to get her a real chair. Haha

Then we went to the park. They had a tiny slide she could go down by herself and it was so fun watching her figure it out. But every time she went down by herself, when she got to the bottom she would just lay there and hold her arms out for you to come pick her up so she could go again. 😂😂😂

DH deep cleaned the entire house today.
The STEM camp that DS attended during the summer sent home a flyer that they are having a day camp tomorrow & he said he desperately wanted to go so we signed him up. DH is super excited since he's home so in anticipation of us having the day to ourselves, he wants to spend it watching Marvel movies. It's not my favorite so to sweeten me up, he went crazy today. Lol
I'm hoping it could stay like this but DS though..

We've had a busy weekend so far! I thought we'd have time to catch things up from vacation, but not so far. We met friends at the playground and then SIL had a last minute BBQ yesterday. This morning H decided he wants to put a storage system in our closet so we wound up going to Lowes and Home Depot to look at systems/ideas, and then went out to lunch. After nap we went to my BFF's house, which is always fun. Tomorrow I'm hoping the rain holds out so we can get one last pool day in at my parents house!

In the middle of all this, the saga of DS' rash worsens - I took him to the dermatologist Wednesday because his rash kept coming back after the cortisone cream would make it better. So we got a new treatment plan, but yesterday, his whole abdomen broke out in a rash. I think it must be a reaction to one of the new creams, and they weren't making his butt any better anyway, so we stopped them, and I gave him benedryl at bedtime today. Either way, looks like I'll be calling on Tuesday again I just want my baby's butt to get better!

I've been so flipping lazy this weekend. I meal prepped for DH yesterday, we're at my dad's tonight and tomorrow, and I'll be leaving B with SIL since his school is closed Tuesday. When I get home tomorrow, I'll meal prep for myself. I'd say I'm annoyed at myself for putting it off until the last minute, but it's whatever.

Holy busy weekend! I need a nap. 4 days off & I'd like another, maybe 2...

We tried having smoothies for lunch with lots of fruits and veggies and protein powder, but now, 2 hours later, I'm trapped under a sleeping baby and my stomach is growling because it was not filling at all. Meanwhile the apartment smells like chicken because that's what's in the Crock-Pot.

DS had a great time at camp. It was so cute in the morning when we dropped him off. There was a bunch of kids from his class there & one girl in particular. She is basically a girl version of him & they seem to like each other so hearing them together was too cute.
Her birthday is even this week & when she talks sometimes I can't understand what she says so when I say they're very similar, I'm not exaggerating. Lol she is so darn cute too. I wish I snapped a pic.

We had some family picnics this weekend. We're on our way home from my parents house now. (My husband is driving) My parents asked for D to sleep over last night so we could sleep in. My husband woke me up at 7 to let me know he was leaving for his run. 😒 I shouldn't complain though because seven is still sleeping in for us. I normally like to run on my own but my husband likes to run together so I surprised him at the park and we did my 1.5 together. We went for a walk in the rose garden at the park after. Then I got to go home and he had to run two more miles 😏

I'm getting kind of annoyed. We gave out 24 invites for DS' party & have only heard back from 5 people.
Party is on Sunday. Gahhhhh

Back from vacation. Utterly exhausted and really dreading going back to work tomorrow. We also have open house at DD's school tomorrow night. It's becoming all too real and I'll admit to having quite a bit of anxiety about it. Guess she can't stay my baby forever.
