We didn't have plans today, but H' s mom told his grandma about the video he made of the history of her house and other stuff, so now we are going to visit them and show them the videos. I uploaded DD pics from the past year to Walgreens so I can get her photo book made before DD2 comes.

We had little gym this morning and then went and walked around the outlets for a little while. I got 3 pairs of shorts, 2 shirts, and a 3 pack of bracelets for $13 at Children's Place I think I'm going to take DD1 swimming and I need to figure out something for dinner, I forgot to plan something..... oops.

I have so many things I want to do, but lack motivation. My back hurting doesn't help. I want to finish DD's quiet book I started in November and a photo album of her from year 2-3 among other things. I got books out to read. I'm kidding myself though. Right now I'm watching Newsies with an ice pack on my back.

We did a big grocery store trip this morning as we were totally out of food. This afternoon we went to a party thrown by DH's old friend who has kids close to our kids age, but he was mostly friends with her ex-husband so we haven't really seen the mom and her new husband much in many years and we knew no one. Still a pretty relaxing time and hope we can hang out occasionally with them. Tomorrow we have nothing planned except chores, cleaning, maybe errands and then in the evening DH leaves for his work week away...I was hoping to have some baby-sitters so I could get a small break, but none of our old baby-sitters are replying to my emails and I don't want to try anyone new when I expect the house will be chaos.
Kid's asleep and I'm sitting here with a pint of Ben and Jerry's and a hard cider. It's been a long day and this is a nice reprieve. Hopefully the rest of the day doesn't spoil it.

This morning we went with DH while he got his hair cut and the girls and I walked around the farmers market next door. It made me extra glad I'm growing a garden this year, fresh local produce is so expensive! I'm not one of the "organic only, local only" type people, but I have to admit that the farmers market stuff, and better yet the stuff from our backyard is so much tastier than the stuff from the store, it's encouraging all of us to eat healthier which we desperately need to do.
After that, we ran to the grocery store for some lunch stuff and a few things for the week and came home. It's been mostly a chill day, except a little housework here and there. Tomorrow I need to get up and try to get a few things done before the week begins. DD1 starts 2 weeks of daily swim lessons on Monday, so it's gonna be super busy.
penguin129, so sorry about your back, is it just the pregnancy?

@led and @mommatotwo It is pregnancy related. I went to the Physical Therapist on Thursday for the Sciatica flare up I had the beginning of June. I've been trying to be better about not slouching/leaning, bending straight over, sleeping on my side, wearing sneakers, etc, but I still hurt. I think it is because of all the walking I did while we were on vacation earlier this week. I did all the walking in flip flops and way too much. I haven't taken anything because I really don't like too if I don't have to. I may at bedtime though.
Hey guys! Today was our 5 year anniversary. We didn't really do anything and MH didn't get me anything. He's not really a gift giver (never has been) so I'm not surprised.... Disappointed but not surprised lol

I'm sorry teraiin, thats always a little disappointing even when it's kind of expected. My DH is sorta the same way. Happy Anniversary!
Today was DD's birthday. We had her party today, and it turned out pretty nice. The only thing she wanted today was cake & ice cream, and to go swimming.
Happy anniversary teraiin, sorry that your husband didn't get you anything. I've been there on anniversaries too. Hope you have a nice day celebrating!
Happy birthday to your daughter @auri! Cake, ice cream and swimming sounds perfect.
We did our brush removal and transplanted some plants to our garden. It feels good to have those little projects done.
I finished book three of the Outlander series and I am not sure if I want to work on the fourth. I like knowing ahead of time what to expect on the show but it's getting a little unbelievable with how much has happened.

I spent all morning and the beginning of the afternoon going through stuff in DD's closet. I pulled out the crib sheets, towels, pad for high chair, etc so I could wash them. I also organized her closets. We are painting our room/ the nursery this week and I'm trying to figure out if I want 3 pale yellow walls and one pale purple or 3 pale purple walls and one pale yellow. I want to get a decal that says "you are my sunshine" for over the crib.

Thanks teraiin! I wish I could figure out if I want it mostly purple or mostly yellow.
I found this decal on Etsy and will definitely get it in purple because the wall the crib is on will be the pale yellow. That is the only thing I know for sure...

If that's the case I feel like having only one yellow wall would be best because it will draw the eye to it and show off the decal
Of course purple is my favorite color soooo so naturally I'd be in the more purple camp

teraiin purple is my favorite color too. I am kind of thinking having of the crib wall, window wall, and closet wall be pale yellow and putting pale purple blackout curtains up over the window that way it brings out the pale purple from the accent wall and the decal. The purple accent wall would be where I put our bed and dresser.

teraiin of course the decal comes in yellow too so I could make the pale purple wall the accent wall where the crib and dresser are. So many options. I have to know by Thursday...

I tend to prefer darker writing on a lighter background...
I think I agree teraiin. I really want the crib wall pale yellow. Choices choices. H is like "just pick". Lol!
That was me when we were painting our rooms. I had like options a, b, c for every room. MH is like "just pick!" But it's sooo much pressure when you need to live with it for awhile because who has time (and money) to repaint immediately?!
