Morning! I'm stopping by a food bank this morning to donate jars of baby food that M won't eat (and she can chew now, so...). I'm tired of staring at them. Go to a good home, baby food jars!
Then off to pick up M and go CAKE TASTING. Woooohoooo!
Theeeeeeen off to a 30th birthday bash. They have a pool and they are making 600 steamed clams and a ton of crab legs. You can either find me in the pool or hovering over seafood.
Morning! It's hot here too. But not too bad, which is nice. 105* and only about 55% humidity.
The girls got over their moods last night running through the sprinklers in the backyard. It was nice to then the evening around. Then I dyed my hair after A went down. It really needed it!
Breakfast with my dad, R's friend is coming over for lunch and to hang for a couple of hours. Then this evening R has a birthday party/sleepover at her new friends house. My H, A and I will be having dinner with a good friend of mine from my last job and her fiancé.
Morning it will be hot and humid here as well. My mom is on her way up and we are going to gettysburg. Need to pick up my order from carters. E was just eating ice.
sjep922 i let e play with play doh last weekend she enjoyed it.
sjep922 I haven't introduced f to it. One thing her class did was "paint" with colored cool whip. D would love that too. Maybe we can make natural dough to play with in case f eats it...and hair- it needs some shape!! And I think I'll go bayalage for fall/winter. So probably not really coloring it today.

Guys its surprise party day!! Other than my sister having pneumonia, everything is in full swing. My parents are watching N at our house, my brother and SIL are cleaning the house, and my younger brother is about to meet us at the store for the last minute stuff. Then quick decorating and back to get them. FX they fall for my plan to ride in one car to 'dinner' and we can just take them to their house. My mom showed up in leggings so I'm sure she'll change as soon as we get to the party, but that's ok Send your good surprise vibes everyone!! I'm excited!!
Cake tasting was fun! We are going with simple chocolate and vanilla layers with a fluffy raspberry filling and butter cream icing. I didn't go too crazy with flavors because 1. Expensive and 2. Allergies. I don't want to leave someone out if they have a peanut allergy or something. So, we keep it simple and delicious!
The total came to $666. I made her add a dollar because of the negativity associated with that number. The lady thought I was crazy, but...
flat0422 carrying over from yesterdays poop discussion- that sounded exactly like P but he doesnt tell me he has to poop. Atleast 10 times a day he stands awkwardly and screams like he is trying to push, but he doesnt poop. Then when he poops on the toilet its not excessively hard or soft either, but he poops immediately- still screaming. Something is hurting him. Its been going on for 2 weeks. A few times ive seen a little bit of blood. A hemmie, maybe? Idk.
malvo yummm cake tasting is definitely the best part of wedding planning! Also laughing at making her add one dollar to the amount due. I get overly excited when things add up to 13 or 666, haha.
This morning P woke up at 6:30, boo. I hate the early mornings now, but oh well. Tried to take advantage of the early morning and take Hs truck to get his safetys and emission test done, but 10 people were already in front of us. We just got home. I needed to also go to the bank and post office, but theyre both closed now and closed tomorrow. Atleast i got his car dealt with. Im always the fool who gets it get done a month or two late.
I conned MIL into hanging out with us while we waited for the car and we went to target and the pet store. Got P a seat for the toilet since he refuses to poop in hos diaper. Im really not finding this a "yay" moment because they dont potty train in the todds class so hes pissed all day at school. JUST FUCKING POOP IN YOUR DIAPER. And we got a fish, his name is Jaws and we got him a haunted house decoration thingy. Thats it for our day. Im officially hibernating now because this heat is ridiculous. I feel like im wearing seram wrap.
Had a fun day out with my mom she just left around 330. My dad came up to take us out to lunch. He never did that before e was born. I am letting e play with her water table now. I put her table out and turned the hose on to fill it. It was over flowing o well I know it was full. I gave her the sand toys to play in it as well.
H was stir crazy so he made us go out. It's.too.hot. But we're on our way home. I got the ingredients for homemade play-doh that's ok to eat, in case it is! We'll see! D is super grumpy, so he may be in his bed.

malvo cake tasting sounds amazing!! I sometimes feel like pretending I'm getting married again just for more free cake!! Glad you had fun! And I would have added the extra dollar too.
flat0422 have fun at spin! I still haven't gotten to try that out! And definitely not mean at all!!
sjep922 sounds like a busy day but a fun day!! Hope R has fun at her sleepover and you guys have fun at dinner!!

Not too much going on over here. Had to clean up the house a bit and I have to run to hobby lobby to get a new photo back drop as soon as Rowan gets up from her nap.
I started her in a big girl bed a couple nights ago! She did awesome the first night and stayed in there until 4am. Refused to sleep in it the second night but did great again last night so we're getting somewhere!
A saw a fb friend shared a post about the farmers almanac predicting a winter even worse than last year. Im actively ignorning the fact that were moving this winter while the little kid inside of me is turning her pajamas inside out and throwing icecubes in the front yard.
coleybug13 Omg a big girl bed?! And that pillow!! Stop it, i cant. Shes too cute!
Since she skipped the crib all together and has literally never spent one night out of my bed, I couldn't wait any longer! She plays bongos on my kidneys all night! But also her big girl bed is literally a foot away from my bed haha so it's not so scary. AND ISNT THAT PILLOWCASE TO DIE FOR!!?! I found it at target! They had a bunch of different sayings and I need them all.
coleybug13 i didnt realise you were still cosleeping! Thats awesome she is doing so well with the big girl bed! Can I ask how that worked having her sleep in bed with you? I mean, were you able to put her down then sneak out and enjoy the evening a little before going to bed yourself? And how did your H like it? I couldnt imagine fitting 3 people in bed. I see P on the baby monitor and hes a star fish in the crib!

ruemorgan yeah! She's never slept a night in a crib. For most of the beginning I would just go to bed when she went to sleep because I didn't want her to roll out. (Our bed is just on the box spring so it's not that high up but still) but within the past few months I've been able to slip away and get things done while she's sleeping which helps A LOT. H doesn't mind it, it's mostly him taking up his space, R taking up her space and then me clinging to the edge haha (that God we have a king) but she's actually a really good snuggler. She still snuggles to fall asleep so I'll snuggle her on the couch or in bed and then move her to the bed and she's doing great! When I used to do it with the crib she'd wake up every time but I think since it's not the "long fall" down to the crib and I can hold her close until she's on the mattress it's working. I feel like that was such a ramble I hope that made sense haha
coleybug13 haha, it did. Sorry im LOLing at "he stays in his space, she stays in hers, and i cling to the edge." Im glad you get some more space again!

I laugh at it too haha! It's terrible too because now H wants to cuddle and I'm like "don't you realize I've spent the last 17 months with someone attached to me while I sleep?! It's my turn to starfish hahah
