M is watching Lion King and H is napping. I’m trying to get all the laundry done before he wakes up. I think we’re getting the Christmas tree out today. I ended up staying at my cousins way later than expected. Josie stayed up til ( completely foreign to her) but she was playing with my younger cousins and it was so nice to sit and drink and eat pie without having to watch or entertain. So a long post to say, I didn't get our tree up either and have been trying to parent AND do it myself all morning. Starbucks me, please!!

Anybody remember the name of the stroller or stroller/car seat combo that Cher is in love with? Doona. The best.

Thanks! I'm kicking myself for the lazy parenting and not getting her off it when she was younger! I can't get X off the bottle. If I offer him anything else, he literally throws it across the room.

L gets so sad and mad! She was screaming this morning before daycare but did drink some from a sippy on the way there. She doesn't take a bottle at all at daycare (2 days a week) and never asks for it so there is hope!

My SIL and MIL were both talking about how they were going to cook something with beer/wine but didn’t cause I'm pregnant. I told them they didn't need to do that since the alcohol cooks off and I would've had no problem eating it. They both looked at me like I had 5 heads and MIL said, "Oh my poor grandchild" and did the sign of the cross.

Z just got off the bottle a month ago. She’s 23 months. She asked for it and threw a fit for over a week I’d say. Maybe longer. She’s now starting to accept milk from the sippy.

I just went out to the garage to get an extension cord for my one Christmas village piece and while I was looking I found a bunch of brand new Christmas lights. I forgot that I bought them at the end of last season with the intention of switching to colored lights this yeah, oops. I also found a whole package of clips that DH needed when he put up the lights a couple weekends ago.

Yet when I was pregnant with C FIL poured me wine on Easter since it was a holy day? So maybe holy days cancel out the alcohol? Lol

Museum was a hit! It's about 10 minutes away so I think we're going to get a membership. It pays for itself in 4 visits and it'll be a great place to burn energy over the winter, so it's a no brainier.
Off to start shopping. Wish me luck!!

O now has red spots at the back of his throat/ roof of his mouth. Ugh. I don’t know what’s going on with him or whether this is all related (tongue/canker sores). I feel so bad for him.
His 4 year checkup is Tuesday. Hopefully we can make it til then, if not we may be making a trip to the Off hours pediatric place this weekend.

kim22 did you say you were thinking about getting a SNOO? They're on sale today for $710 instead of $1,160. I was going to get one until Cher said she had a colicky baby. If it doesn't help colic, I'm not getting it. I bought a bassinet that is currently in a box on my living room floor while I find a place for it.

Hi! It’s been a crazy day. Got all of our Xmas decorations up this morning and managed to keep the house clean around the chaos. I haven’t had time to online shop a all because I’m sneakily getting things ready for Dhs surprise party tonight. Him and N are out now while h naps so I’m trying to get a ton done but stuff I can still hid in case he comes home.
Then he’s taking the kids to a movie and the guests will be here when they get home.
H still had a fever at 5;30 this morning. I gave him Tylenol and he slept until 7:30 and woke up fever free. He seems better but just crabby. Hoping it stays this way and I don’t end up regretting not taking him to urgent care.

Ladies who cook: DH wants a good set of kitchen knives for Christmas. Anyone know a brand I should look for?

MH took M to baskin Robbins to pick out her birthday cake. She chose Tinkerbell over any princess cakes. Wtf?
I’m afraid she’ll be disappointed.
