Is it Friday yet? This week has seemed long...
We did Thai takout at my in laws last night, so I didn't have to cook or clean anything. Win! I did have to make funny noises at the top of my lungs all the way home so B wouldn't fall asleep in his car seat though...
Today is a light day meeting-wise, so I'm hoping to get a lot of actual work done. Maybe I should get off HIH and get to it lol.

ellabee, We did take out last night too and was excited that the kitchen was extra clean these morning and light meeting day seems like a more HIH day to me. OMG the baby slept so well she did wake up but I let cry it out and it worked! I forget how she's not her sister and I should try techniques on her that work on my most babies, DD1 saw CIO as the ultimate challenge haha. We are going back to day 2 of preschool and DD1 checked in with that I was going to leave her there and she was excited about it so no separation anxiety for her. So I'm well rested and toddler free for the morning and taking suggestions for fun stuff to do!

I sometimes find myself falling into that trap too neekoneeko. I recall that something didn't work for DD, so I don't attempt it for B. Yay for good sleep and a good drop off! |

Now I want Thai ellabee. All of peaseblossom55's party updates are getting me super excited for 1st birthdays! Time to go start a Pinterest board. Took the kids on the 2.5 mile loop. Cleaned the house. The inlaws will be here in a bit to watch the kids and buy ds new shoes. The dog has her annual vet appointment. |

Day 4 of no power but they're estimating it will be back tomorrow night. My parents have been the best hosts (packing us lunches, putting the kids to bed) but I'm so ready to be home and back to normal. DS now thinks dinner is always followed by dessert so that should be a fun reality check for him 🙄 ellabee I will do the most ridiculous things to try and keep my kids awake in their car seats! |

All of peaseblossom55 's party updates are getting me super excited for 1st birthdays! Time to go start a Pinterest board. I'm kinda hating my 2015 self for going all out for DDs bday. I mean all out. I did a cake smash photo shoot in our living room, complete with homemade cake and decorations. I threw a huge party and did a fingerprint guest book keepsake to memorialize it. I'm on the fence on whether to just do a complete repeat (ugh), or have a small family get together and say sorry #2ndchildsyndrome... |

I always forget we are probably dealing with a time difference and want to know how you get so much done so early in the morning. |

ellabee I love a good party theme, you guys say my derby party pics, but I don't think I went *that* crazy. I'm all about themed food and some key decorations but I'm also cheap. For ds' birthdayI reused all the baby shower decorations and some of my wedding centerpiece stuff. Mh's family is mostly local so we invite the extended family but not our friends. I can't imagine having everyone over. In the past we've had a few friends over later that evening after the family leaves for party leftovers and a fire. My big regret is invitations because cute personalized ones add up. I'll do cute paper invites for dd because I did for ds but after the 1st birthday I'm thinking all digital invitations until school aged parties potentially require paper again.

I always forget we are probably dealing with a time difference and want to know how you get so much done so early in the morning. I'm east coast, generally a morning person, and my darling children are up at 6. So I was vacuuming at 7. Living the life. I also hate going out after naptime and avoid it if I can. After 3 the traffic starts to pick up and it fills me with rage. |

I am so excited to celebrate a 1 st bday with an LC. Going all out since we are 99% sure we are OAD. Other parties will be a lot smaller. |

I have been inspired to do take out tonight and avoid prep and dishes. Bedtimes with the 3yo have been treacherous the past few nights and I can't effing deal.
Busy day today. Hope to catch up tomorrow!
