Good morning? ;-) DS keeps putting his rubber ducks in the dog's water bowl. The bowl isn't for playing but I'm proud of him putting ducks + water together.

Need to get motivated to finish the prepping the presentation for a training I am running tomorrow. I started working on it last week but through a combination of being busy with other work and procrastination I've only just started to make progress on it, and I have a lot of meetings today so I'll probably end up needing to work on this at home tonight.
lilyelayne a few weeks ago we heard DD banging something around in the dogs water bowl, turned out it was DH's phone. Luckily she hadn't submerged it and the phone was fine - much better to have a rubber duck in there than an iphone!
Good morning. I was going to take the girls to the zoo today but it's pretty rainy and while there's indoor exhibits, getting to and from them is another story. Not sure I (or them) want to be wet all day... Maybe we'll head to the mall. DD1 had lots of energy today, IYKWIM (she's being "spirited " lol).
Making applesauce and applesauce/carrot muffins so DS can have a healthy breakfast on the plane on Friday. They're basically no sugar carrot cake since the applesauce sweetens them and no frosting. I want him to be able to feed himself with creating a giant mess since he'll insist on feeding himself.
I need some of those refillable squeeze packets and just make DS fruit packets at home.
Shopping for a new crib for DS since we aren't able to take his current one with us. I think I'm going to sell his changing table here since one I'm looking at comes with a separate changing table. We'd keep the pad and just change him on our bed or the couch.
My kid might actually get some matching furniture.
Nice typo, self! Turns out it wasn't a very good morning, I got some bad news via text this morning and have been upset since then. Family stuff.
But the one bright spot is that V discovered irrigation day today. Every Wednesday or back yard fills with water and with everything I forgot that it was today. I was going out to the car with V, turned back to shut the door when I hear splash! My kid just dived right in, clothes and all. Then decided that he didn't like it and screamed. Once he calmed down he played for 45 minutes in the bank yard. So very cute, and thankfully distracting.
I went to my mom's group at church which I always enjoy. Today we discussed praying in color which was awesome. lilyelayne have you heard of it? Sounds like something you would like.
Then I had to get H to the shop to pick up his car and then grocery store. Now I am home, DD is napping and I am lazy on the couch. I have a lingering migraine from yesterday and I am waiting for it to kick back into full force this evening (just a guess).
aggiebug I'd never heard of praying in color, so I googled it. Interesting idea. For the hot minute I used a bullet journal, I had a prayer request log and it really helped. Maybe I'll try some doodling! Hope your migraine went away.
G's mood has been quicksilver today. I think his teeth are bothering him more. Working on number 12! Someone asked how many teeth he'll get & I said a million. It feels like it never ends.
So I ended up going to the zoo because the weather cleared up and the girls were antsy today. It was a great visit. We learned about the penguins during a zoo chat and watched them get fed. We also got to see the mexican grey wolves up close and personal due to a mini feeding that we were just lucky to catch. They have month old pups but we could only see them on a cam that looks at where they like to "hang out". They are in a wooded area. The zoo keeper was giving the mother and father meat to go and feed the pups. They were beautiful! So I'm not letting the hour long drive home due to traffic ruin my mood. Aw: here are the girls in the parakeet aviary
aggiebug the praying g in color looks like something I'd be interested in. I might have to try that out.
Tonight we are going to a drive in to see x-men and the huntsman. Gotta love the double feature, I'd we can stay up that late anyway, lol. Hopefully V will sleep in the car like he did last summer. We'll see.
Family stuff got a little bit better. That's not the right word but improved maybe? Anyway I have a better feeling in my heart about it anyway.
kartish and lilyelayne I think it is one way I can actually focus on my prayers. I get so distracted or erm fall asleep!
The woman who came and talked to us about it had lots of different suggestions for things to do and I think my favorite was the month journal. As she put it: it's journaling with grace. You have a full page for a month and you write on that page your journal notes, but since there are no dates so don't feel guilty if it is 4 days since your last entry. I was thinking I could actually do that! She had several other ideas that struck me but I think that I am just going to try one thing and grow from there.
She gave us some pages meant for a visual monthly journal if you want I could probably share them.
