Dd2 got her daddy date today and Dh and I worked out (what seems to be my one time per week...). My house is so messy. I should clean, but I think I'll end up making lists of what needs cleaning instead I've been freezing berries and green beans for winter and I love watching my freezer full up. Yesterday was 4lbs of green beans, 20lbs or so of strawberries, 15 pints of blueberries and 12pints of raspberries.

I know!! I'm sad we seem to be losing steam as a BMB.
We headed out to bring lunch and some groceries to my Grandma today. She is dealing with some sciatica pain and it's been a rough few weeks for her (she's 94!!!). She LOVES seeing the kids and they really lift her spirits. I need to make this a weekly thing. I'm not sure how much longer I'll have her.
Other than that just trying to figure out what happened to my chill, easygoing baby. She's been a fuss monster and not really napping well. Her gums aren't swollen so I'm not convinced it's teething.
I filled in as a last minute horse show judge yesterday and today I caught up on a literal mountain of laundry in preparation for more travel starting tues. we also finally hung everything in Ls room. She has been wild all day. I burnt the bejeebus out of my mouth tonight. I could hardly finish dinner. Wish I could be around more. Hopefully you are all still here when I have more time this fall!
dizzycooks do you grow/pick all that stuff you are freezing? scorpioscuba I am with you on the fussy face baby. My great napper is MIA as well.

DD has been chewing on this same piece of apple for the past hour or so. Maybe it feels good on her gums? We aren't officially doing food yet but I was desperate to make her feel better. And it's not like she is really ingesting anything at this point.

kcrkcs I ended up buying strawberries. They were $2.35/lb to pick my own and a store had then $1/lb so I went that route. I was able to pick raspberries for free at our CSA farm. Blueberries were $0.88 / pint a few weeks back so I bought those too. My ILs pick strawberries (local) and blueberries (wild) for us too which is nice, but I never know how many they'll get and we easily eat a pound/pint of each every week all winter. The green beans were a random act of kindness from my neighbor, but I plan on buying more when the price drops.

kcrkcs and scorpioscuba we use thick cut cucumbers! I think cold hard fruit holds the cold better than baby teethers.
kcrkcs how did you burn our mouth I hate that feeling. Feel better
We had a busy day. Ran errands with my MIL. Came home and found out that MILs mother had gone into cardiac arrest... She's in surgery now.. Just waiting to hear how things went. Hoping for the best. She is late 70s and hasn't had the best of health lately. H is doing okay... He was very close with her. Other than that It has been a good weekend. Tomorrow we have 6 month shots and Tuesday in taking the dog for his boosters. Gunna have a lot of sore bodies in the house this week.
I too have a crank-o-saurus on my hands... Must be going through a leap all together :/
Constantly busy around here with the toddler and DD, plus my oldest home from soon. I try and get on to catch up but the toddler yells at me if I get on my phone lol; he needs constant entertainment. DD was up every 2 hrs last night, and my DS woke up several times as well. This seems to be a new pattern and I feel like it's killing me. I'm constantly exhausted. Hoping it changes soon.

Thanks for the reminder in the cucumbers, pinktartan9. I forgot how well those work with teething!
It is an amber necklace. It was DS's and I really did think it helped him. He got his first 2 teeth at 14 weeks and they just kept coming so I never took that thing off. I've only just started using it with DD and not very consistently. I take it off when she goes to bed and often forget to put it back on until she is a grumbly mess again. So we are back to trying it.

Both kiddos were asleep before 8pm. Unheard of. Will I jinx it if I run myself a bath and plan to watch OITNB in there? With a glass of wine? Wish me luck and knock on some wood for me!
