We've been a quiet bunch lately, haven't we? I'm especially guilty.

Yeah, I feel bad that our board is dying a little. I get it - now that we're out of the maternity/newborn phase it feels like there's less time in the day to hang out and chat. Or maybe fewer things to ask questions about and commiserate on? At any rate, I'm here! Random thoughts for today: - I made this Chipotle chicken corn chowder earlier this week. It was YUMMY. - I found rips/holes in the butts of 2 of my favorite jeans. Sadly, I think the postpartum strain on them was a little too much. I'm in the market for new jeans. - I'm down about 7lbs from where I was hovering post partum. I feel like I'm finally in the right direction. I'm still at least 15lbs away from my ideal pre-kid weight, but at least the trend is positive. - Like a light switch, B hit the mental milestone for separation anxiety. His new thing is crying at daycare drop off. I hate this phase. He's also started crying at bedtime when I leave the room. ::big sigh:: |

Work has been hellish. E has been giving me trouble with sleep at night so between that and party prep I am exhausted. Less than a week until she is 1.

Hi guys! Fighting through a cold with M and potty training with DS. So our house is fun right now! Luckily she's just as happy as can be and even woke up smiling and laughing the other day with one eye completely crusted shut. I'm counting down until the weekend so I can get extra snuggles from her and make sure she gets extra rest. I am not looking forward to the daycare dropoff crying ellabee! DS just got settled at the new daycare and finally doesn't cry at dropoff, just in time for M to hit the crying point. Boo! Can't wait to see party pics peaseblossom55! |

The last week of my life in gifs that I have actually sent my husband (except the last one). The stomach bug hits everyone in the house over the course of three days.  I've had three social engagements. One was with the inlaws but still, I'm not built for three social days in a row.  Dd is teething and trying to boycott naps. She's been a peach.  Everyone, including the dog, is up in my business. I am touched out.  I'm in deep with the Outlander books and Descendants of the Sun which is subtitled, so I can't multitask and post here at night. I've also been staying up too late because of this. Relevant gif from Descendants:  |

Nerd Alert: I'm doing the NJ Lighthouse Challenge this weekend. On to #4! Jealous. We did 6 yesterday and will hit 3 today on the way home. We'll skip the northern ones this year. I was all about it, I think we could have done them. Surprisingly the kids did great, it was mh that got grumpy! Ds had one mini-meltdown because he didn't want to get out of a lifeboat at one place. There were a couple grumpy moments strapping them into their car seats but once the car started moving they were fine. Ds even climbed a lot of the steps himself! Including half of Cape May which is 199 steps. Here's my running total I kept for IG pics. Lighthouse: 6 Steps: 674 (one not open for climbing) Tantrums: 2: Ds 1, Mh 1 |

So this morning I woke up to E without her pajama pants on her diaper off and contents of said diaper (because of course she pooped) everywhere. How was your morning? I think no more 2 piece pajamas for a bit.

Lakes we went to a friend's baptism of her son. The mass was an hour and a half long. I'm already so done with today.
