It's picture day at DC! M looks adorable in her pretty dress, but her face looks pained from being sick. I wonder if they'll have a redo day? Or maybe I can permit some photoshopping of my child?

Under "Notes for Photographer" I wrote, "Please make sure her nose isn't running!" And I added a smiley face. DNW flowing snot in my baby's picture.

Happy Monday!

[ladymike]

malvo, love your note.. hope they listen and make her giggle! I wish our DC did picture days :-(

BUSY weekend. Lots of house cleaning and LuLa and outdoor things. We took N to a local wildlife park. Girl is just amazed by animals. She pet a baby yak and a baby goat. Every time she'd spot an animal, she'd gasp and then squat down and point. It was adooorable.

We also had a minor accident. Ugh. I was loading groceries into the car while MH was hanging out with N in the cart return, we had parked right next to it and it was empty. She was being silly and crazy and, as I was putting the cart into it, she ran off towards the other end, SLAMMED her face into a metal bar (it runs about nose height on her and separate the corral in half) and shot straight back, flat onto her head. Of course, we panicked and she lost it, but really took it like a champ. She's fine, just has a mark on her nose and on the back of her head. TERRIFYING, though.

So. Anyway. New week! Nothing too exciting going on. Finally feels like Fall, though! I might have to break out the boots. It was 50 this morning! I also need to buy my kid a new wardrobe because she has 2 long sleeve shirts and no coat.

malvo fx they wipe any snot off of M before the photo!

ladymike that sounds so fun! We want to take A to the zoo now that it's getting cooler. Also, that cart incident sounds so scary. I'm glad she's ok!!

Morning ladies! Happy Monday!
It's my last week before 2 weeks off for Fall break. It's gonna be a crazy week and the kids want to be out of school already so I know I'm in for it. Hoping it just goes quickly! I've been extra busy lately-- my sister is getting married next month and we have been working on projects non stop. Planning her shower and helping get everything done had started to feel kind of overwhelming but I am happy to do it for her. And it will all be said and done on Oct. 28 so not much more time to stress, I guess!
malvo- hope the pics go well and she's relatively not snotty! I loved our daycare pictures! So cute.
ladymike- ours were done by Lifetouch which I know is a nationwide chain. You should ask and see what your daycare can do! Worth it!

[sjep922]

Morning. I'm sleepy and have nothing of value to add. I'll be back.

[maddisonrose]

malvo hope the pics go well today! I wish our DC did pictures

ladymike glad N is okay, sounds so scary

LesleyEO I hope the kids aren't too crazy for you today

[rvamama]

malvo we have picture day on Thursday/Friday! I have to find something for f to wear. Also, it blows my mind photographers don't check noses, hair, etc!!
ladymike I don't like yaks. Fun fact. Also, poor N! Also, also, I bought F an adorable coat on clearance at end of season this past year and it swallows her! It's an 18 month but there is no way it will fit her come winter!!

[rvamama]

+1 to sleepy. I might need more coffee later, but I'll be stuck in the office. Last week of my job trial, last week of the month and our fiscal year. So, it will be hectic for sure.

I bought e her winter jacket for the car 3t. Her other winter things are also 3t. I put her in a pair of 3t jeans to see how big they are on her. They are just a little long in the legs but they fit in the waist

[malvo]

rvamama Do you have a Children's Place store? They also are online. Decently priced clothing (lots of sales). But I also like that they do 12 months, 12-18 months, 18 months, 18-24 months. M outgrew 12 month pants, but isn't quite ready for most 18 month pants. The 12-18 months are perfect! A teeny, tiny bit baggy, but not enough to bother her. Same goes with shirts and jackets. Highly recommend!

[ladymike]

Am I the only one who thinks Target's website is awful? Like, the complete worst? I wouldn't use it if it weren't for REDcard. Seriously.

[LesleyEO]

WTF. I just had a kid walk in with a full sized, filled piñata for his birthday. He says, oh my mom emailed you about it. Yep, emailed at 8:30 Sunday night. Obv did not see email so couldn't respond that a piñata is not ok. This is obv a safety issue and I'm going to have to be the huge jerk who says no and sends it home. Whyyyyyyy?!

[maddisonrose]

rvamama GL this week! Hope it goes smoothly

LesleyEO GOOD GOD who thinks bringing a piñata to school is ever a good idea?!?

[maddisonrose]

Morning! Just made it into work.... D slept in and I didn't wake him. He's had a really bad cold the past few days so I figured he needed the extra sleep. Not much going on other than that. Only 53 more sleeps until AZ!

[malvo]

LesleyEO Party pooper! What's wrong with kids and sticks? What could possibly go wrong?!

Obviously kidding. But... LOL... parents be crazy.

[rvamama]

malvo I love the children's place! I love their sales too.
ladymike a piñata?! Por que?!!!??!!

[Deleted]

LesleyEO why would anyone else even think it is a good idea to take a piñata to school??

My hip is still really sore when I get up after sitting for a while. I have a dinner tonight for my brother's gf because now she feels like the family should be celebrating rating her birthday as well. Spoiler I didn't and am not getting her anything. They don't get my hb anything goes for his bday she isn't getting anything.

[ruemorgan]

Found my TX souvenir! Also got antler orbs thatll make awesome xmas ornaments-not like we'll have a tree this year but whatevs. I think theyd look cool paired with candles, too.


Gonna see H in about half an hour. Todays my last day to spend with him and we only get a few hours. Trying not to get emotional so the day isnt ruined. Ill be back later!

[rvamama]

ruemorgan that skull is awesome!!! I love it! Also, have a ton of fun today!

[ruemorgan]

Ok im back for a few minutes, haha, waiting on H. When will it ever stop raining?! Atleast its a cool 66*, H says its been 90+ until now so im glad i made it for the cold front

malvo i think they should be able to use photoshop and make her look less sick. We use lifetouch for pics at our school and last photo day P got a bruise under his eye and they asked if I wanted it removed. I hope you get cute pics today!

[ruemorgan]

@LesleyEO wtaf? No, that mom can save the fuckin piñata for their bday party at home. Im less concerned with trusting kids with sticks and more concerned with whos cleaning that mess up? Pft, aint nobody got time for that!

[ruemorgan]

ladymike aww, im glad N is ok!

[tacocatmom]

Does anyone want Children's Place coupons? They expire today. Buy $20 get $10 off. I have lots of them.

[malvo]

tacocatmom ME ME ME! I'll share, though. I don't need all of them.

ruemorgan Lifetouch is also doing our DC's photos. FX they work their magic (but she still looks like my baby... lol).

Question: I work with 12 people. I want to invite a couple of them to my wedding. But if I invite some, do I have to invite all? Like, is it all or nothing?

No way. Invite the few you want to and that's that. I wouldn't make a big announcement about it or anything, just mail the invites to the people you want to invite and done.

Ok, good. I figured we'd keep it on the down low and not make an intercom announcement through the office I was hoping that I wasn't being a bitch about this.

You just have to make sure the people you invite don't brag to those not invited.
