Friday and Weekend Randoms!

[byjove]

It's been so quiet here guys

[byjove]

DH and I have a date tomorrow night that I am looking forward to- we are going to freeze our butts off ice skating outside Margs's birthday is Sunday (aye!!!!!!!), and just trying to keep on otherwise.

We brought M and C to see Santa yesterday. M was like HELL TO THE NO about Santa touching her or being within reaching distance. C was very shy and wouldn't get her picture taken. Oh well. They looked ridiculously cute

obscurereference how is elf on the shelf going?

byjove, That sounds like fun!

Just getting ready for the big 1st B-Day party next weekend. We are pretty much ready for Christmas, now for the festivities to begin

[obscurereference]

byjove The elf is going better. She seems to have come around to the idea. I'm not sure it's having a positive effect on anyone's behavior, but I'm pretty sure it's not having a negative effect, either. I'll take it.

Events are ramping up for us. It doesn't even really seem like Friday because we have so much stuff going on this weekend. Saturday we're going over to my mom's to help her decorate for Christmas, then sometime early evening we're going to a potluck at a barn that my dad owns. Sunday is a church performance for DD1 and then somehow we have to get the Christmas crafts done that I have planned so we can mail them off to grandparents. I also am hoping to get all the teachers' gifts put together but that might have to wait until Monday.

Can't believe there's only one week of school left.

Yes to it being a long week. We had a half day at work today. I lingered an extra two hours but it allowed me to only have to bring home my computer to put comments in on grades. I got all my plans for next week written, so that was good. And the baby fell asleep in the car and went right down in her crib, so I finally have some me time and can watch Gilmore Girls.

Hi ladies!

I feel like I haven't really been around here lately. I have been reading but not posting. I am almost always mobile and when my phone did its last update it did something funky and makes typing responses here kind of a pain. Long story short, if I change to type numbers or punctuation it doesn't auto-return to my letter keyboard. First world problems for sure.

I think I am thisclose to being done with Christmas gifts all around. I just need a couple of stocking stuffers for M and my H. I made and ordered photo books for all of the grandparents and one for us to keep. What a pain in my ass. It took me about 6 weeks to make sure I had everything "just right". Too much work for someone with perfection issues. I have been waiting to order them until there was a good enough deal. Today was buy one, get one 50% off so I ended up getting all 4, including shipping, for just under $100. Not bad!

We have our first Christmas tomorrow, one next Sunday, and then Christmas eve and Christmas day. I am not ready for it to be the end of the year yet.

Enjoy your date byjove!
Hooray for bday party, Unknown! I hope it is perfect!

RoLoMa, have fun! Photobooks are shockingly time intensive.
DoesItComeInPink, yay little pink! Glad she is feeling a bit better Are you guys getting any more sleep?

No, sleep is still a mess...I just don't get it. She falls asleep on her own when I put her down for the night, but once she wakes up, she has to be held until she is out to go back down. Sometimes for hours. It is ridiculous!

How is sleep for you guys?

So crappy lately. I'm hoping it's just these bottom molars now (she's in the middle of the storm clouds in the WWs which isn't helping anything) and we can catch up for a couple of weeks with only a few wake ups before all hell lets loose again. M is taking 1.5 hours to go down for the night, if we are lucky will do more than 2-3 hours, then she is in bed with us. It's killer because she is constantly waking and nursing from about 3-5 am and with such frequent wake ups I am having a hard time getting back to sleep. I don't even know how many times we are nursing at night. We may night wean soon. woe is me

byjove have fun on your date.

As for us, H got his V yesterday, a year after my due date. DD2 is going to be 1 tomorrow so we are going to the aquarium. We already had her party but are giving her the presents we bought tomorrow.

[jperry220]

Today is L first birthday!!

[geners]

Crappy sleep club member here, too. I'm hoping it's just taking C a while to get back on track after having been sick for so long. I finally got him down around 9:15 and MH is already in there rocking him back to sleep. Sigh.

RoLoMa my phone is doing the same thing and it makes me crazy!

Happy birthday to all the LOs!!!

I don't think hardly anybody is going to be at C's rescheduled birthday party There is a snowstorm coming and some people - including my mom - are sick. There are two dozen cupcakes and 30+ frosted sugar cookies that need eaten...

Wipe stealer, caught in the act!


Guys, good thing she is cute. She was up 20 some odd times last night. No exaggeration. 😧😧😧😧

[geners]

byjove, We had a similar night - up every 30-60 minutes at least. No idea why. Hope you have access to some good coffee and can take it easy today!

[HelgaHuffle]

Hi all. We had a rough night too. Coffee for everyone.
R has been fighting his morning nap. I don't know if it's the wonder week or if he's dropping it. I hope he's not dropping it lol.

We have no plans this weekend. I need to finish Christmas shopping. My mom's birthday is tomorrow but I'm not sure what we're doing for that yet.

[byjove]

HelgaHuffle geners geese Louise! Come on toddlers and almost toddler- get it together!

[obscurereference]

I do but I don't use autocorrect because I find it is a total disaster. My H uses it and I can say it has been awful lately.

byjove So cute!

You know, even though I've done this twice before, it never ceases to amaze me how much they grow and change and develop over the first year. There's just nothing else like it!

It's so true! And just imagining what it's going to be like next year and what we have in store this next year... it's just crazy!

Happy Bday M! Did she enjoy her cake (of whatever you gave her)?

She ended up with pumpkin pudding. She loved it

[baylorbear]

Yesterday was DD2's birthday and we went to the aquarium, both girls loved it. I can't believe DD1 was a little older than this when I was finding out I was pregnant with DD2. I don't know how I did it!
