We had a kinda rough night, but no puke overnight! We are shipping the kids off at the in-laws for my sister's wedding. Pictures start at a brewery before. I think I can handle that!
Hope all the sick kids and parents are feeling better this weekend.
We are an hour and 15 minutes into hockey practice. Only 30 minutes to go. T has his first official lesson tomorrow. I spaced my children wrong. The 2 lowest levels practice early morning and the 2 higher practice late night. By the time T can be on the team, we will be the lucky family with both sets of practices.

Next they will all start getting pregnant and you'll have baby showers to plan and throw! Lol!
Lol! One already has a daughter and one doesn't want kids so we are ok on that front!
Morning! N did a 8 hour stretch and seems fine, so we are tagging along to boys day at the orioles fan fest since my Fil can't go. J is saying no girls allowed, and I would cave but I now need to show him that he can't be so rude and it's not up to him.

Morning girls. I've been super busy and haven't been able to log on. Today is ds' 8th bday party. It's at 10 and right next to Millie's gymnastics class. So we will have one kid at gymnastics and throwing a party at the same time.
Last night we found out we have had a slow leak from the toilet into Millie's closet. Her closet is soaking wet and there's water damage to the wall. And the landlords phone is ringing busy. On top of that there seems to be something wrong with the power steering pump in our car. 😩
And....we are out of coffee and food. I need to grocery shop. Ugh.
Am I the only one consumed by the news? I am just horrified about the latest immigration ban. Refugee families that have been vetted for 2 years are being detained at airports, permanent residents aren't able to fly back, and we are discriminating based on religion. This is not America.
Saturday confession: I really want a minivan even though we are mostly a 1 kid family. I want to take road trips and spreadout.
My girlfriend just got a Honda Odyssey and while I don't want one myself, I'll admit that built-in vacuum is pretty cool They had a dinner party recently and all the moms were out in the garage oohing and ahhing over it, too funny.
B ended up in our bed around 5 and the 3 of us were this disgusting symphony of coughing and sniffles. I found myself envious of Caroline, who gets her bed to herself and 9-10 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Must be nice.
No big plans today; DH is about to hang a new ceiling fan in our master bedroom. It is replacing a true monstrosity that matched the Tuscan villa-themed mural the previous owner had in the bathroom.
Morning! S, and by proxy me, had the best night's sleep in months. I feel so refreshed. Since she's been up though she's been very sensitive/clingy. I don't remember if I mention yesterday but she has pink eye. We ran and dropped DH's vehicle off at the mechanic and then got donuts. I'm going to be painting the basement for most of the day. This afternoon DH and H are going sledding with my sister and her kids.

Morning! Running group was brutal this morning then the boys came home from skating just as I finished drying my hair. Both boys have been a bit nutty and I think they'll go down a half hour early for naps, otherwise DH may lose his mind. No real plans other than watching this week's This Is Us during nap. And maybe a quick nap, too. I was up for an hour or so with Chase last night so I am a bit tired.
Hi! We're home and having a lazy day to recover from our trip. H slept like crap last night but at least slept in this morning which was nice. Went to my parents to pick up our dog and had breakfast with them which was great since we had no food at home. Now it sounds like the in laws are going to come tonight. I suggested it since they were hinting at how they haven't seen the kids in a while. I suggested tomorrow and then Dh told them to come stay the night..... I was trying to be nice and now I'm regretting it.

Whoa, houseguests your first day home--that sounds...not delightful.
But I'm also the one looking for a "Not Welcome" doormat for the front porch after all our company the last couple months. So maybe it's just me.
I agree LizInFL. Dh played me. He said maybe we could go to a movie tonight if they came but then failed to mention that to them so I'm sure it won't happen. Not pleased.
guster h didn't respond to bribes either. She wanted to do it when she wanted to and that was that. I found that doing the every 20 minute thing made things worse for us. I just kept the potty on the tile right by our living room so it was quick/easy for her to get to when she had to go. I hope it clicks quickly for her.
I am really hoping Chase is cutting another tooth because he is so grumpy today. He's happy when eating or for the first 2 minutes of playing in a new location, then it's game over. Super fun.
Re: this disgusting Muslim ban. I shouldn't be surprised but Trump has a Jewish SIL yet isn't connecting the dots between this ban and our (and a lot of the West, to be fair) racist unwillingness to let in Jews in the decades leading up to the Haulocaust. We let people die then under the guise that they could be Russian spies, just like we are letting people die now because they could be terrorists. Children. We are letting children die. And the Republican party considers themselves to be "pro-life". Such a disgrace.

This. I'm disgusted. Completely repulsed.
"But Hilary's emails though?"
Right. Deranged, hypocritical, fascist assholes. Every last one. Steve King is introducing a NATIONAL heartbeat bill that will ban abortion after 6 weeks.

We took the kids ice skating at our local outdoor rink. C was so excited to give her new skates a try and she did pretty well! The ice was a little bumpy, and it took a while to figure out the balance, but she could stand and go about 3 feet without falling!
We also took apart the kids bunk beds, and made them into two separate beds. C main complaint for not sleeping in her bed was she didn't like being up to high. We'll see what the new complaint/reason is now that she's ground level again. This afternoon they were both talking about sleeping in their beds, but I'm betting they'll change their tune come bedtime tonight

Um isn't Jared and Ivanka Jewish too?
I just talked to my dad. Holy f. He said remember this conversation..Don't think I'll be able to forget it. MH had to leave the room just from hearing me poke holes in everything argument. It ended them with them telling me to stop watching the news and chill out, oh and move to Switzerland if I don't like this country.

We've done nothing today. We had gymnastics, dropped off a carload of clothes and other randoms for the Easter seals at the elementary school, then nothing. We've been sitting around listening to jazz music, reading and watching "Elmo" all afternoon. It's been nice and peaceful, but my steps suck.
