Happy weekend!
I got an almond milk Salted caramel mocha latte. I am happy.
What's good with everyone else?

MH is working today so I'm just at home with the boys. DS1 is still sick but he's in a good mood. It's supposed to finally be a rainy day, so I'm looking forward to wearing a hoodie all day and not really doing much of anything.

That latte sounds delicious hangry! I had an almond milk cappuccino this morning and it was such an amazing treat. I hope the good mood continues jubilantsquirrel. Poor little guy. And how amazing is that first time wearing a hoodie after the hottest days of summer? Such a good feeling.

Putting M down for a nap and watching the weather channel. I'm obsessed. I think I missed my calling and should have been a meteorologist.
Also, M thinks she can "walk" and has been having us walk her back and forth across the hotel room. She's terrible at it. Imagine those videos of how dogs walk when you put shoes on them. That. It's hilarious and exhausting.

Yes with the hoodie! O was wearing one the other day and asked me to wear one of mine on our walk to school in the morning. We were cute in our matching hoodies and damn it felt comfy and cozy.

Why can I never time naps right? DS2 wakes up right as I put DS1 down. I'm going to need these kids to work with me a little here.

Hi. We've had a busy morning. Farmers market, grocery shopping, cleaning etc. We've all napped and showered. Now watching some college football drinking a pumpkin beer. It's 60 and the windows are open. Feels like fall and I love it. ETA pic

Yum hangry! I love getting mochas with almond milk. So good!! sophiegrace I did want to be a meteorologist at one point, but the math part got me. Math above calculus...no. Also, I put shoes on Lilah for the first time the other day and she was walking like the dogs with boots on. Hilarious. That sounds awesome waitwhat. I'm jealous of your day.

I went for a run for the first time in 2 months. It wasn't as bad as I was imagining so that's good. Then Lilah and I went to a birthday party for one of our playgroup members. One of the 5 babies turned 1! It was a cute party. Since then, we've just been relaxing. Dh is watching football. I'm also getting ready for my fundraiser tomorrow. I'm a little nervous, but I think it'll be ok.

Hi ladies! I haven't been around much the past few days. Soooo much going on. We were on the Cape all week driving back and forth between my ILs' house and the house my parents decided to rent in the middle of nowhere. Yesterday we went home for one night.
This morning DH and DS got haircuts, then DS had his first toddler soccer practice! Then we went to a big pick-your-own fruit farm for a work thing for DH's firm. Turns out the place has a tap room with their own beer and cider too so we hung out there with DH's coworkers for a little while and only at quarter to 5 did we get on the road to NJ. Tomorrow my cousin is getting married and then we drive home Monday.
Alcohol will be happening.

Hiiii!
I am in Charlotte; just finished browsing in JCrew and am meeting my friend (the mom to be) and some other out-of-town guests for margaritas and Mexican shortly.
Apparently DH is keeping the home fires burning and C took a bottle like a champ and even held the bottle herself--this after refusing it for *months*. The stinker.

sophiegrace thank you, good thoughts are welcome! tgrimes pumpking! A woman after my own heart! Hurricane Update: it's been raining on and off today. Breezy but not windy yet. H and I fit the window AC unit in so we are ready when we lose power. We didn't leave it in though bc of the winds expected. We ate lunch at a sushi place with O (do asian places ever close?) then drove around looking at boarded up homes and businesses. We are already half way thru our hurricane beer stash.... #hurricanefail (without giving too much away on the non private board) we are expecting a cat 1 but we are on the north east quadrant which has the highest tornado risk. But it's way better than the cat 3 they predicted 2 days ago.

Oh hi everyone. Today has been so busy. We were at the zoo for a few hours then kept busy chasing C around at home all evening. This kid is exhausting. I'm finally sitting down and thinking about getting some Ben and Jerry's out of the freezer. H went out shopping to get ready for his tailgate tomorrow. Me and C will be having a low key day at home.

This morning we drove down to the town MH & I grew up in fir a birthday party. It was at an arts & crafts kids place & M had so much drum painting her butterfly & making sand art. Then we went to a friend's house for a couple hours. They're expecting a bit in the next week or two so I brought a bunch of baby stuff.
After that we went to my friend's house for a couple hours. Well, technically they were my parents friends & I was friends with their kids, but they're like my 2nd parents. We split a bottle of wine & then I came back home & MH took off to his friend's house to watch the Auburn game.
Both kids are in bed, I'm drinking more wine & will probably read a book I started on vacation. I'd like o watch a movie but I know I'll fall asleep. lol.

M's butterfly. I caught MH trying to "touch it up" when we went to do the sand art. Dude, step away from the paint. Just let her do her thing.

cookswithwine glad things are looking OK so far. FX that continues! I feel like after all the drama it looks like the gulf coast will get the worst impact. We had relatives downstate head to the Tampa/Clearwater area from the Atlantic side, and then they ended up heading back home when the storm veered west. Yay, hurricanes.

I swear, someone mentions drinking & they automatically think it's me. I mean, I am drinking wine right now. But, I don't like beer.

MH brought me home some wine. He then opened the bottle for me while I was getting the baby down and he some how pushed the cork into the bottle. It's against the law to waste wine, so I guess I'm drinking the whole bottle tonight.

We had relatives downstate head to the Tampa/Clearwater area from the Atlantic side, and then they ended up heading back home when the storm veered west. Yay, hurricanes. This one's path has been pretty crazy. I feel like we usually have a more solid idea of where it's going earlier on!

Is anyone else being bitten by their baby? Like not in a breastfeeding context? I know she's teething but this really fucking hurts and isn't okay. I don't know how to deter this behavior in a 9.5 month old. DS never did this.
Also, while I'm here, does anyone else's baby basically throw tantrums already? Mine is a serious drama queen. A few minutes ago I took away a piece of plastic that she was chewing on and she lost it, crying, and threw herself backwards, hitting her head against the (thankfully soft) side of the bed. WTF.
