Last day of soccer. C wasn't too into it. I am leaving soon to go pick up Cs cake, race numbers, and a gift card for my dad. Tonight we are doing a Jack o lantern thing that should be a thousand times better than the one we went to last weekend with fake pumpkins.

Am I the only one that is surviving to get to the weekend and then it arrives and you want to burn your place down rather than do all the crap that got pushed during the week?
J refused to get ready for soccer and then once we got there he refused to play. RAGE. I could barely pretend to make small talk to the other parents I was so angry. I probably should go to a kick boxing class before I lose it. And the day only gets better, we get to go to my dad's bc my grandma is in town. I'm damned either way - I take Nora and they will catch her cold or I don't and she will be heartbroken not to finally meet N. Also if I dont, that means I'm solo with j, who is clearly on my last nerve. End rant/

Morning! DH let me sleep in. He and the girls made muffins while I was sleeping. I have to work this afternoon. DH will be taking the girls to a trunk or treat event at his parents’ church, lets hope he can get both girls in their costumes, correctly, by himself. tgrimes I’m sorry M is still sick. I hope she’s feeling better soon.

@wine, the most annoying. He's still showering!! We have to leave in 15min and MH has not showered, is making a dip and insisting on crafting some goodie bags for all of his cousin's kids. He doesn't need any help though...

@klongoria, can you post that rainbow dip you mentioned the other day? I looked back through yesterday's thread and the birthday party thread and I don't remember where it is. I posted it in the birthday thread. It's called unicorn dip if you want to Google.

S’s eyes are very goopy today. The whites aren’t red though so I don’t think it’s pink eye, at least at this point. I got a package of these saline eye wipes so I went to find out in my kid medicine box. I ended up pulling everything out (didn’t find the eye wipes) and for some reason I have 2 bottles of Zyrtec and 2 bottles of benedryl. I think I’ve used both of those one time each, so weird.

I tried to convince E to get a haircut today. He wants it to be down to his shoulders. MH sent this response: His hair is his strength. Like Sampson, we can break him if he lets us cut it.

I just got back from ordering Dude's cake.
My best friend is coming over in awhile so we can all head to our Glassjaw concert. I'm so tired, I don't know how I'm going to hang in there for the drive to Hollywood, the show, then the drive home. We'll be lucky if we're back by midnight.
I hope the kids are good for my mom and sister tonight.

Tomorrow is the SoCal VegFest and I'm kind of meh of going this year because it will be such a long day for X.
Pete is all excited about it though, which is surprising. He keeps talking about all the tacos and funnel cake he wants to eat.

We did downtown trick or treat. This costume is so homemade but I feel it also captures old school halloween spirit for simplicity. The lights in the bottom show better at night. Poof

He doesn't need any help though... This all the damn time! And it's always "I just need 5 minutes". I don't know if he's realized that he NEVER needs just 5 more minutes, it's usually more like 1/2 hour.

Colin had a blast at the birthday party. It was held in the carousel house so they got to alternate between crafts, snacks, and they each got tickets for 4 rides on the carousel. They also got 15 minutes to "meet the animals", which were a dove and a chinchilla. Afterwards, we wandered around for awhile because it was so nice out. You have to drive through a park to get out, so we stopped at one of the playgrounds on our way out, too. Then once we got home, we spent about 1/2 hour playing"big kid games", i.e., the games on the high shelf of his closet with the tiny pieces. It was really nice to have so much one-on-one time with him today!!
Of course I've had pretty much zero time with Chase. At least tomorrow's party is during naptime.

No matter what he's doing, it takes 20 minutes. And he also only has about an hour and a half of endurance for any activity outside of the house until he gets grumpy.

M took a nap and got sick again when she woke up. That’s after taking zofran.
MH is never going to let me leave town again. Last time it was the hurricane, now M is sick...I wonder what will happen when I go to my sister’s house in a couple weeks.

Just that there was a terrible stomach bug going around and try to stick to liquids.

He and C are supposed to go to a party that started at 4:30. It's 5:11 and he's just running around doing I have no clue what.

My house is a wreck. I have no desire to clean, especially since it will just get messed up again by mh and Cadence. So I'm watching mindless tv while I lay on the couch.

I didn't do this as often with Josie. Charlie is just a disaster eater.
