Labor Day Weekend Randoms

[littlelion]

For most of us at least.

[littlelion]

Morning bike ride to the park. & stopped at cvs for my iron plus halls. I'm coughing up a storm.

Leo decided this bench was a good place to stop.

[ourcrazynavylife]

Good morning. I'm trying to decide what I want for breakfast.

[reginaphalange3]

Hi girls! Crazy first week at school with kids. Miss you guys, have to catch up on the randoms and see how everyone is doing!
littlelion looks like a fun morning!
ourcrazynavylife hope you get something good! I'm craving something with bacon but we have none

[reginaphalange3]

We're having our friends from out of town over for dinner tonight, hoping B cooperates! He's really trying to talk a lot but some words are so hard to understand. I feel bad bc he definitely is saying things with intent.
Here he is mid cookie, his favorite treat! Harder to catch his smiles these days.

[littlelion]

reginaphalange3 yes, need a translator for toddler talk! Leo says "more", "mouth", "mouse", & "elmo" all sound the same to me!

So much going on here today. IL's have an appraiser coming to look at their house (re-fi) and my MIL is going insane. She's taken everything off counters and put it in the garage. Now the garage is a mess, and she's not done!
Taking LO to the library in 45 minutes for a water activity fun time thing. I have my hockey team meeting and practice this afternoon.
DH is doing okay. He's in a lot of pain. He wants to get better, but he's afraid to move. He doesn't want to make things worse. I'm hoping after the weekend, he gets the courage to start putting even a little weight on it.
And the dog won't stop howling because we live by the fire station.

[littlelion]

An action shot from this morning.

[ourcrazynavylife]

Haven't shared a pic in a while

[raven]

Resting before my hockey meeting in 30 minutes. LO is down for a nap, DH doing as good as can be.
We went to the library this morning, but the activity was for kids older than her. It involved science experiments and she's just not there yet. ;D We left 5 minutes into the activity, and I let her blow off all her energy at a park while I drank a very large vanilla almond (flavoring, almonds don't have nipples) latte.

[ashlantic]

littlelion hope you feel better soon! Having a cold while pregnant is so miserable. Can't get over what a big boy your Leo is! So cute.
ourcrazynavylife how have you been feeling?
reginaphalange woo hoo for making it through the 1st week back to school! I end up translating a lot for lo to other people. For the longest time the T sound was "please." Even 2 of my friends that have their Master's in linguistics thought it was weird. We finally, just this week, got him to say "Peas!"
raven is yh home or in the hospital still? Have fun playing hockey tonight!

[ashlantic]

Did a little bit of shopping this morning. I was kind of annoyed though- tried on a bunch of clothes at Target only to discover that their 25% off coupon was for online only. Thankfully I was able to find most of the things I tried on online.
Dh is picking up the bike seat we ordered for lo. I'm excited to try it out tonight!

[ourcrazynavylife]

ashlantic honestly pretty darn good. The only thing I'm really struggling with is dizziness. I get dizzy super easy. It's really annoying. Other than that I'm just starving all the time. I joke that I'm a little hobbit because I have breakfast and second breakfast, etc. lol
but yea, very different so far than my first pregnancy.

[kcrus]

This. All day. It's going to be a long weekend.

[ashlantic]

kcrus this has been my kid too, but with his damn puppets. He demands that we play puppets with him, gets pissed when we move the puppets "wrong," asks for them off, then says on, and refuses to actually do the puppets themselves. Time to play with a different toy.

I think I blocked out toddlerhood even more so than I had labor when my H asked for this LO. I forgot how truly terrible it is. Sigh. The upside is the preschool years are the BEST. I'm living for those years every time I have to pick her screaming ass up off the floor.

[megpie5]

littlelion, love his hair, such a cool kid!
reginaphalange3 hope the first week of school went well. I go back Tuesday so I'm trying to soak up every minute with F. Haven't really started prepping yet eek!
raven Glad your DH is doing okay so far, fx for a quick recovery!
ourcrazynavylife Good to hear you're feeling well so far, that gives me hope that my next pregnancy could be totally different.
kcrus and ashlantic I hear you on the toddler insanity. F is in a stage of asking me to sing different songs then yelling "noooooo!" after one verse and asking for a different song. We repeat this until we run out of songs then she pouts when I say no more songs.

[megpie5]

We've been busy soaking up the last week of summer. When I think about going back to work for a whole school year I want to cry. I love my job but it's just so hard to balance prep and marking while taking care of F. I feel like I'm becoming a lazier teacher because I don't want to sacrifice time with her Sorry for vent, time to AW to brighten the mood!
Painting with her buddy.

She likes to push her own stroller on hikes now lol

Baby sushi lunch

First time licking the beaters at my bday party

[babyw15]

Good morning ladies... working this morning is the only reason I am awake!
I had yesterday off and since DH had a run in with someone coming onto our property (we are on 5 acres and out in the boonies) Friday afternoon we went yesterday morning and bought an automatic gate opener... I then dropped hubby back off at home to install it with the help of his 2 buddies and I took LO to my parents house so I could go get my hair done!
I just have to push through these next 3 days and then I am off for 7 days! We have that wedding to go to in Alabama, which is going to be a 12 hour drive..
Hope everyone has a great Sunday!

[reginaphalange3]

raven hope yh starts feeling better and that your hockey stuff went well! LO running around the park while I have a big coffee sounds great!
littlelion he's such s big boy on that bike! Looks like he loves it!
ashlantic we've had some words like that too! He is getting better but he used to only say one syllable of the word (usually the first but sometimes the last lol) Cat used to be 'Me-Me' I guess trying to say meow, and belly button is still 'but' haha That is annoying about the target coupon! Hope the bike seat was fun!
ourcrazynavylife glad you're feeling good!
kcrus omg yes! Toddlers can be so frustrating! Hope you guys are all doing well.
megpie5 GL going back to school. I feel the same that trying to balance some school stuff slips through the cracks. Cute pictures though!
babyw15 hope your hair appointment was relaxing! GL getting through your three days of work.

[reginaphalange3]

B was toddlering last night. He was ok for our neighbor the first time she babysat. (For like an hour and a half while we got a drink, but she said he hit her and bite her sometimes, ugh) Then we came home and ordered pizza with our friends here. After he ate he was acting so miserable. Asked to walk then cried the entire walk around the block. Then the grand finale was taking over two hours to go down for bed. Ah! Don't think our friends will be having kids anytime soon and B may be the reason haha!

[ourcrazynavylife]

Em's new thing is snitching apples out of the fridge and destroying them. Lol.

I totally bought them for myself but I guess I can't complain since she's eating healthy.

Woke up to the sweetest thing ever. My oldest boy (10) went and got LO out of her crib, changed her diaper, made her breakfast, and helped her brush her teeth. They are sitting on the floor of the living room, doing a puzzle and she is the happiest I've seen her in weeks. Made my heart melt into a big ol puddle. I really am the luckiest lady alive.

[kcrus]

[reginaphalange3]

ourcrazynavylife too cute!!
kcrus that's adorable, how sweet!

I put B in his room to plan for a minute while I got dressed and he stubbed his toe pretty good he's walking normally on it now and seems fine but right after he was really crying and kept saying 'ow ow ow!' So sad since he usually isn't phased by falling.
We're thinking of going to the children's science museum later bc they have a Pixar exhibit but we'll see what happens.

[ourcrazynavylife]

So her new thing is wanting to wear my husband's clothes. And then getting wicked pissed when the clothes won't stay up.




^^ I had to fasten them with a hair tie so she was happy.

Toddlers man. Wtf.

[ourcrazynavylife]

And we now have a little mermaid living in the house. Haha

[littlelion]

@oucrazynavylife adorable!
kcrus brotherly love, so sweet
megpie5 ugh, I understand exactly what you mean. I freely admit and accept that these days I do the minimum needed for my job. And I can't see that changing in the next couple years.

[ourcrazynavylife]

I'll just keep AW'ing it up today

My little dinner date

[kcrus]

The baby knows how to use snapchat better than I do.
