TGIF! Randomize Here.

[dashook]

Good morning ladies! Just finished catching up on the last two days. What's everyone up to today?

[littlelion]

Morning! I have the day off. 4 day weekend, yesss! Leo is going to DC this morning as I need to run errands and some chores. This afternoon we're off to the zoo with my younger sis and brother. It was supposed to be pool time but foiled by this cool weather.

[dashook]

littlelion, have fun at the zoo! Too bad about the pool; hopefully the weather warms up again for you guys this weekend.

We're on the Cape for the weekend. H is working remotely and I'm studying for the bar today, and then tonight we're taking LO to the town bandstand for a concert. I am so excited to see his reaction to all of the music and big kids running around with balloons!!

[ourcrazynavylife]

It's 6am here and I'm debating about trying to go back to sleep or just getting up.
DH decided he was going surfing and woke me up/I was having a bad dream and woke myself up.

Blurghhhhh

Side note: this TWW is dragging by for me and I think I'm going slightly cray cray.

[BabyStandish]

Good morning! I tried convincing DH to work from home today, but it didn't work. To be fair he's been really busy lately so I understand that he needs to go in.

Going to hang out at my neighbor's house today and let the kiddos play in the kid pool. We call it the redneck pool lol. I wish we had mimosas.

[dashook]

Btw happy belated birthday babyw15!!

[raven]

DH is home! Continue car shopping today. I don't mind car shopping, it's the negotiating part I hate. I usually still rely on my dad for that. The man used to sell seafood door to door in San Diego, he could convince a drowning man he needs a cement block.
Also ordering bookplates for all of LO's books. I love etsy. I'm really really excited for these for no reason lol.
I'm going to attempt to drag DH in to see a Dr, but he just wants to make an appt. Yeah, you've been in pain for a week, can't walk right, can't drive, sure wait longer. :mad: He's so stubborn.

dashook ourcrazynavylife Thanks for the highlander encouragement. I really want the 4runner, but thought otherwise when I noticed our tundra crew max gets better mileage lol.

[raven]

Belated happy birthday babyw15!!!!!

[ourcrazynavylife]

raven yea the highlander or the RAV4 is the way to go. My mom has had both and loves them.

I had a 4Runner way back in the day. Awesome car but def not the greatest gas mileage.

[ourcrazynavylife]

Also, how is my baby 18 months old you guys ?!?!

[ashlantic]

Good morning! Took lo to see the fireworks last night. He handled the noise and the crowds pretty well. There was a band before the fireworks started and lo liked jamming to the music. He wasn't too enthusiastic about the actual fireworks, though. I think his favorite part was climbing into everyone's chairs.

Dh is home for a 4 day weekend. Today has been supremely lazy already. I did go for a run, and I'm bribing myself to stay on track with this 30 Day challenge I'm doing. I've restarted it 2 times already because I end up missing days, so I told myself if I complete it without skipping any days, I can splurge and go on a LuLaRoe shopping spree.

[ashlantic]

littlelion at least it'll be nice for the zoo! It's cooler today here too and we even got rain this morning. It's been so dry here most cities are banning people from setting off fireworks at home. Hope it warms up so you can get to the pool this weekend!
dashook have fun at the concert! When do you take the bar exam?
ourcrazynavylife ugh, hope the rest of the tww goes by quickly for you.
BabyStandish mimosas sound fantastic! Cracking up at the redneck pool.
raven good luck car shopping. I love etsy too. I try to stay away though, because I end up finding tooooo much stuff I like!

[ourcrazynavylife]

Thanks ashlantic I'm hoping the holiday cookout prep will keep me distracted this weekend.

[ourcrazynavylife]

Ladies I need some sippy cup recommendations.

Em uses the Nuby click n sip straw cups (the ones with the weighted straw).
But lately they've been spitting the milk out the top. Something is messed up with the pressure/valve system I guess. And she's bit holes in all the straws.

What's the next step? Looking for something that doesn't spill easily since she leaves her sippy cups everywhere.

[dashook]

ashlantic the bar is July 26th and 27th. Now that it's officially July I'm starting to freak out a little!

We use the Target Circo ones that have a soft straw. They're easy to clean and are pretty leak free. m.target.com/p/circo-sippy-cup-trex/-/A-18834066
We also use the Munchkin 360 cup. That one is pretty leak free as well, unless he drops it from the high chair.

[ourcrazynavylife]

Seriously what is up with my nose. I feel like everything smells bad. I walked in the house last night and I felt like it smelled like a bar (DH had one glass of beer open). Today it's the pan from the chicken last night and Em's bowl of yogurt. Ewwwww

[ourcrazynavylife]

And we had our first pooping on the floor experience. Awesome.

[littlelion]

ashlantic what kind of challenge are you doing?
dashook gl studying!
ourcrazynavylife keeping everything crossed for you this tww!
BabyStandish jealous of all your pool time! Even if it is a "redneck" pool.
raven +1 to hating to deal with negotiating salesppl. Have fun shopping!

[littlelion]

Waiting for my brother to get here. He better remember he promised to bring me fresh churros. I asked for 2 regular and 1 nutella filled.

[ourcrazynavylife]

littlelion now I want churros. Haha

[raven]

littlelion OMG I love a good churro! I haven't had one in so long, and I'm too lazy to make them.
dashook Good luck with the bar! My SIL was a nervous wreck the entire summer before she got her results. Nothing like taking the bar, and then trying to enjoy a family vacation while awaiting results. 

So my kid likes these new Mac n Cheetos from Burger King. Mac n cheese, rolled in cheeto dust and then deep fried. How could she not like them?!

ETA: add words to make sense. Yeah, that's it. 

[BabyStandish]

Is anyone here vegan? have any good recipes? DH and I are trying it out this month after watching one too many Netflix documentaries.

I think I'm going to struggle the most with lunch/dinner. Breakfast is pretty easy for me. I'm up for anything really. Maybe give me a few of your favorites?

BabyStandish I am not but I admire you for trying!

haha yeah, I've always thought about trying it. We are going to try it for 31 days and see how we like it. We aren't going to be 100% since we have 2 date nights this month so we may "cheat" those nights. And my FIL is coming into town 2 days so I know I'll probably cook something with meat in it at least one night.
