Waiting for DH to get home so we can head to his sisters in Chicago for a birthday party. Until then C is napping and I'm eating kettle corn and lounging. I really need to fold and put away laundry and water my plants.

H is finally finishing the sandbox. I'm getting LO down for his nap, poor thing is still out of sorts even though he isn't running a fever this morning.
erbear I wonder if that's a local clearance or is my store has a sale today too?
erbear now that is a steal! I can never find great bargains like that!
I'm getting ready to eat my first clam bake. I'm excited to try everything! I also just tried clear chowder for the first time.
Yesterday we went on a whale watch and saw some fin back whales and some dolphins. I didn't get a single picture because O was passed out and I was holding her. The pictures H took aren't good, but I think my SIL got some good ones. The ride out was so rough. There were a lot of sick people. All 7 of us in my group were queasy, but luckily none of us threw up. The ride back to shore was much better.
So sorry that so many of you have poorly little ones or recalcitrant partners.
Our hotel is lovely - L adores the swimming pool. But H still isn't well. He felt much better this morning but got worse during the day. It's even worse because he's so upset about it. I'm trying to persuade him to go to the doctor on Monday. I'm disappointed too.
We just had to call Reception because the people next door turned the TV up to maximum volume and then left. They're part of a big wedding party that's here and I think they forgot that there are other guests!
I still think the break is worth it and will help. It's just not quite as much of a break as we'd both anticipated. But L is loving it.

@jemomma no nap for me because I still had to be at our UPick, but I left early, alone, went to a good yard sale and got some clothes for DS1, picked 15 lbs of berries while I was working, and went for a 3.5 mile run without a stroller. Now to go shower and take the kids to IL's. Date night at the racetrack with free dinner!

wegrowsheep have fun tonight! Is T feeling better today? We are supposed to be leaving for this wedding soon but O is still napping. It's 5:00, time to wake him up I guess.
Home and lounging in nap jail. We went to a 1st birthday pool party. Jude ate everything...a hotdog, tons of blueberries, veggies, pickles. Does this just happen? Suddenly they decide to actually eat instead of just play?
My cousin's flight got delayed and she may not be here until after 10pm. I hope I can stay up until they get here. The house is about as cleans as it gets. I found putrid potatoes in our pantry. Sadly, I identified the smell prior to actually finding them. I had been planning to use those potatoes in breakfast tomorrow....guess I'll change my cooking plans.
Update on adventures of traveling to the beach and back in one day with a baby and hubby. #4 reason that hubby is pissed, his dunking donuts and royal farms app don't want to work today. Thus causing him to have to pay for his coffee. He refused to pay for his coffee on the way home at royal farms because of this and now is determined that the universe hates him. Why can't it be legal to drink while in the passenger seat...

Tried to run errands and stop at panera but M would not stop screaming. I think he thought he was getting another haircut. Hope this doesn't become a frequent occurrence taking him places.
So it almost 5p here and I still have not done anything apart from doing the laundry and the dishes. Hubby has been stuck at the tire shop for almost 3hours ! Damn you Saturday, start over !!!
Laundry and dishes count as something in my books. I consider this Saturday a win for you.
dmoney is your H always crabby and critical on trips or is something more going on? It sounds like he's making it a bit miserable!
He usually isn't like this. He just has an imagine in his head how he wants her first trip to the beach to be. Yet she won't even remeber it. I get why he wants everything to be perfect (can go into more detail when the private board is up again). But he doesn't jst let things go. He gets frustrated the baby feeds off of his energy she gets fussy and I'm left to deal with both of them. If things that are the baby's 1st don't go 100% how he wants them to go he gets pissed. He needs to learn that shit happens and it's okay. Not everything is going to be perfect and he can't deal with it.
I'm waiting on H to get back with sushi! I am beat from being outside most of the day, so I hope I can talk my body into falling asleep by 9:00.
Is anyone else's LOs shaking their heads 'no' at you? When DD doesn't want something, her whole body shakes 'no' at me. This is usually accompanied by screeching. Oh, boy.
J shakes yes and no.. with her whole body too haha. Whenever she's eating and obviously enjoying it we ask her "Is it yummy?" or "Is it good?" and she full body shakes yes. We get the no shake for random questions.. like "Can you please not throw your sippy in the garbage?" or "Will you help me find where you hid the remote?" LOL. I don't think she's actually answering with no yet, but she knows were asking a question?
Speaking of ice cream: we convinced my mom to make her homemade chocolate sauce for ice cream tonight. I haven't had it in forever and it was chewy chocolate perfection.
