So we got invited to two separate 1st birthday parties. One for a girl and one for twin boys. Gift ideas? They're friends in our neighborhood. I don't want to spend a ton. We actually aren't even going to the one for the girl, but feel like I need to get a gift cause they're all in the same circle and the mom also already told me she has favors for my kids that she'll give me.

Those big knob puzzles? Stacking cups/blocks/rings? Play food in a basket? Do you have an IKEA near you? They have a really good simple toy section for that age group.

C still has a fever and DH reports that he has a cough that sounds like a barking dog. I'm waiting for the pediatrician to open to see if we need to bring him in for possible croup. I called school and they had no reports of it recently so that's good. I'll be at work until noon and then relieve DH.
The good news for today is that my Nook e-reader has been crapping out a lot lately and I've wanted a Kindle for a while and they are $30 off today for Prime members so I got one. I am very excited for a new e-reader and I got a cute purple leather case for it.

wineallthetime I bought this for my boss' daughter's birthday. It was $10 They go to the hockey rink a lot because her two older brothers play and I figured a self contained toy would be helpful. LO can't wait to go to her Lilo and Stitch movie party.

DC is closed today. LO already had a dentist appointment so I added in his physical so we can get his preschool paperwork submitted. I want him in school for awhile before we announce the baby. Not too many changes at once.

They're installing some new speakers in the ceiling of my building. It sounds like someone is about to fall out of the ceiling and land on me..

That's what we did for X, just went to IKEA and got stacking cups, food, wooden cars, a bead maze. And he is really into the huge M & D puzzles right now, Dude loved them at this age too.

chrisy01, how do you think he will react to the baby news? I think he'll be okay a few months ago he told dh he wanted a baby sister. I don't know if he knew what he was saying but it threw dh for a loop. Who knows how a 3 year old will react.

Did we tell you guys what happened Saturday when we met chrisy01 for the Pumpkin Patch last weekend? We got all the way there and the park was closed because of a fire. Atticus keeps telling me about how the park is on fire and we can never go back to ride the train and see the peacocks! So dramatic. I've told him numerous times we'll make sure to go in the next couple weeks once they reopen.

I dropped the kids off and on my way out H's teacher called me back to the room. H was holding hands with the girl in the highchair next to him. Little flirt. Lol.

When I was in a lot of sports my athletic trainer told me to eat a whole apple and it gives you natural energy. It seemed to work but I'm not a huge fan of eating apples whole, I like them sliced.

mwhip How's the patient today? I haven't been to the hospital yet, but we've been texting and he sounds like he finally got some sleep. I came into work early to take care of things, I'm going to head to the hospital soon for an early lunch then try to get out of here early. H's doctor only performs surgery out of one hospital...that is 45 minutes from our house. I passed 4 hospitals on our way there yesterday. WHY did he have to pick a hospital SO far away!

I keep explaining to her this isn't possible but she's insistent.

Too cute! One of the teachers took a pic of it. I left my phone in the car and I'm going to ask one of the other teachers to give her my # so she can text it to me.

More specifically she wants her friend R's big sister because she is so cool. She's 6, and yeah, she's pretty cool. LOL

Picture day at school today. Cadence and I drove around for an hour looking for small red bows before I gave up. I should have just gone to Walmart. It would have taken about the same amount of time and I more than likely would have gotten what I was looking for. Instead I went to Walgreens, HEB, Big Lots and the Dollar store because they were closer and all in the same area. We went with green bows instead, but they weren't the same green as her shoes, so I'm a bit salty about it.
