younglove316 - here is a link (that I hope works) www.babble.com/home/25-projects-your-kids-can-make-for-grandma-or-you-this-mothers-day/ I made my mom the heart keychain with the cute little fingerprint. I had to make 3 so, to remember who was who, I used pink beads for the girls and blue for DS. I put the number of beads to correspond with their age. My mom has hers hanging in her car from her rear view mirror.
namastebiotches, glad the orientation went well! vettymama, hope you get some more decent sleep! forevermorgan, great list, I'll have to consider these! penguin129, awww so sorry you are feeling ill.
Weather has been gorgeous lately so we've been taking lots of walks and going to different parks. DS is teething so he's a mess. DD is acting out and not listening to me. Now my great aunt is super sick so I have to take of her during the day as well. It's been stressful but I'm trying to keep it together.

icequeen I'm sorry to hear about your aunt! I hope you can catch a break soon! The warm weather is definitely awesome though! I'm pretty sure DD1 would live outside if I'd let her

We had a super busy weekend staining the porch & doing some gardening projects we've been meaning to do once the darn weather cooperated. It finally has since last week so we've been getting a lot done. I'm surprised I'm not more sore than I already am! Lol

I'm over the 24 hour bug I had yesterday. I am still sleepy but thankfully not throwing up anymore.
Sorry you husband is being so mean forevermorgan. Mine wasn't pleasant to me either. He did take care of everything with DD last night so that was nice.

Started potty training today. Things went as well as could be expected, but I just realized now that I have a midwife appt on Tuesday! Hopefully things go well enough that it's not a huge deal...
Hey y'all. Super annoyed today because I spent 2 hours at the hair stylist trying to lighten my hair and it didn't work so now I have to go back next week to correct it. I'll have to bring my kids. That will be boat loads of fun.
namastebiotches, forevermorgan, I need to catch up with all my gardening. We live in a condo and have a big balcony and I have to clean it up and finish the flower pots. I bought some cute decorative lights to put up but I'm already dreading all the work I have to do out there. Hopefully DH will help. Ha, in my dreams.
tincupchalice, GL with the PT! We are in the middle of it and definitely got it down in the house, but it's a different story if we go out.

We've had a pretty busy weekend. Continued work on the front garden. Today we picked up two rose bushes & some tulips & hyacinths. Before that, we went for a hike to see waterfalls. We haven't been in years, it was nice to take the 'hard' trail & not have to worry about DS. Last time we took the easy, paved way since DS was still in the stroller. It was good. After that he played at the playground closeby & then we did our little shopping for the garden & planted everything when we got home. Good day!
We had a busy weekend. The boys and I drove to my parents Friday night and made it in time to feed calves. DH stayed home for fieldwork. Saturday we went to the zoo and did chores Saturday night. Sunday I went to a consignment sale and drove home. The boys had such a great time and the weather was beautiful.

We had a busy weekend as well. We went to Miami to see our nephew play in a soccer tournament and give our other nephew and niece their birthday presents. Yesterday we celebrated our Grandma's birthday and visited H's parents.
This week I am focusing on finding a matching bedroom set for our room so I can give DD my dresser and nightstand and give her dresser to the baby.
We took the big kids to a baseball game and left the baby with my ILs yesterday. We knew it could hit or miss with them but DS was particularly restless. We ended up leaving after less than 3 full innings and noticed DS was losing his voice. Got him home and he had a fever and spent the rest of the night on the couch.
He's been fever free today but we've kept it low key since he's still not 100%.

Today is the third full day of potty training. I wasn't sure what to do about taking DD to her Mommy and Me Class, the park, and to run several errands. I ended up just keeping her in her diaper and taking it off when she told me she had to go potty. She went to the potty 5 times when we were out today, no accidents. I am so proud of her I did not expect for her to be ready to go on the potty outside of the house.
Hoping LO sleeps better tonight. He was sleepwalking a lot last night. In one of his dreams, he was scared too, and it was a long one to top it off. I ended up with a migraine all day, though good news is that it is finally down to regular headache level as of just recently.
My sister may stop by at some point this weekend. Otherwise, plans for the weekend include catching up around the house, several projects, and hopefully recovering (me and LO, though I just heard MH hitting up the tissue box a bit ago, so hopefully he isn't getting sick too).

Going on a little hike tomorrow. Little is all I can manage at 38 weeks with a toddler who really would prefer to be carried half the time. None of my carriers work with this belly!
First I got DS's virus and now DD has it along with a nasty eye infection. Both DS and I were back to normal within 24 hours of feeling bad so hopefully DD is fine by Saturday and the baby doesn't get sick!
Saturday morning I'm supposed to meet up with a few moms from my BMB! I'm super excited

Last night soccer was canceled because of the rain so we just had a student-led conference for DS & had pizza. The PTO had a fundraiser through them so we supported. DH has a half day at work today. I have an appt he has to come with to keep DS at bay. Getting an EMG on my hands. I've noticed my grip strength once in a while is not as strong as it used to be so I got referred for one. We shall see.

We started our weekend cleaning this morning. We've neglected the house lately so we caught up before we started the day. There was a parade in town earlier today. It's our funky, super random parade they do annually. We went, it was fun! They had a free BBQ so we had burgers & bratwurst for lunch. It's been a nice, laid back afternoon.
