I stayed in bed with LO until 11:00...like actually sleeping for most of it. I love this teenager phase he's going through. He was asleep before 8:00 last night, too. Growth spurt maybe?

I am also singing with a band tonight for a wedding that will yield upwards of $350 cash in my pocket, so I'm pretty pumped about that. It'll be the longest I've been away from LO and DH has been in charge, but somehow the money softens the blow I've never used my car adapter for the pump, so I'm hoping it works out okay. Bringing the manual pump just in case.

I wish I could see your band and see you sing !

Two walks, lots of outdoor activities, dog park, made dinner already, and cleaning and packing. Today has been very productive in a stress free way! And deciding on paint colors to go to Home Depot for samples.

I found a tankini top that does not reveal side boob at Target!

DS is starting to reach for me or at least I am going to say it is intentional and not random.

LO wanted to party at 6am so H and I got up and fed her then headed to get some freshly made donuts (while at the beach) at 7am. Had some pool time with LO solo and she took three great naps in her pnp. She apparently needs familiarity and won't nap well at the beach or pool. We're leaving tonight to head home so FX we don't have to make many stops. Our 5 hr drive took us 8 hours to get here bc of bsc crying which she NEVER does. Leaving at 5am was a horrible idea. This time we're trying to time it for bedtime. We shall see.....

That chocolate coconut donut is calling my name!

40 min on the bike trainer, 3 mile run, and made dinner while wearing dd. Damn teeth. At least she's comforted by snuggling me so it's not insistent crying.

And ds is going stir-crazy with all the rain the last several days. I was hoping to get to a park today but still too wet. So we've successfully entertained him another day indoors.

My brother and nephew found their dog today! She had been missing since Wednesday. She accidentally got out while my dad was watching her. They are visiting from Oregon and will leave Minnesota tomorrow. So happy they found her!

I got some plants on sale today and we planted another apple tree. Beautiful day out, so LO and I sat outside. He took a nap and I read a book. It was very nice. Tonight we are planning on having a bonfire!

We just got to the Outer Banks for a long weekend! I always tell my H that duck donuts are supposed to be amazing. I showed him your picture and he said "lets get some!". Thanks for helping my case.
Our LO and DD haven't napped well yet either. Fx for a better ride home.

We went on a 3 hour car ride to the coast, then spent another hour in the car once we got there. LO didn't cry once! This has never happened before. Usually he is a hot mess in long car rides.

Im jealous, my son is reaching away from me to his toys, the dog, then dad in that order. I dont like when he does not want to snuggle.

I'm trying to do a deep clean and organize the house so we can list it this week. I had a bunch of stuff to do, but didn't do mu ch because needed my attention all day. One success is that I got him a new activity table. Since he's loves standing I got him this. He went crazy for it figuring out all the new toys!

Holy crap he's strong ! He looks like such a big boy !

My bff's bachelorette party was this weekend in another city a couple hours away, so MH had his first overnight alone with LO! Sounds like she did really well, and even had a good night sleep. It was a really fun night last night!

That's encouraging! I haven't felt ready for that yet, but I'm sure it was so much fun! One of these days...

I missed her like crazy, and I was "that mom" showing pictures of her on my phone to all my friends :-) But it was still a good step! I also think it helps MH become more appreciative of what it's like to be the "primary caregiver."  A Saturday Success for sure!

So feeling like I am creeping. Didnt realize this was last weeks. Lol
