Hi everyone! I've been out of town so haven't been online much. If this has already been discussed, ignore me. What is everyone going to be for Halloween?
Today we are going on the pumpkin train and I'm excited. V is napping right now and I'm logging on to do a bit of work from home.
My best friend is going through something rough this morning so I will probably drop by and bring her some flowers or something on our way to the train.
kartish our kids should get together on Halloween...N is going to be a pig (made by my MIL). A is going to be a dog. We'd have a farm theme going. I'm sorry your friend is going through something rough.
I vacuumed, swiffered, and swiffer wet jetted my first floor. It took me for.ever. Now I am having a cup of coffee and ignoring A because she should NOT already be up from her nap...
On Wednesday dd1 stuffed a bead up her nose at daycare. I had to take her to urgent care to have them take it out. They used air to blow it out. It went flying across the room. Ugh kids!

G keeps saying he wants to be a robot. I haven't found a robot costume I like, and we just got the right size box in an Amazon delivery, so we're gonna try to DIY it. DH and I don't dress up.

This reminded me of when my dd1 burst into tears all of a sudden on a car trip and we had to pull over on a very busy highway. She shoved a cheerio up her nose and got scared. Luckily it wasn't too far in and tweezers could grab it. What's with kid putting things up there!?
We are doing good. No HFM for me. And DD is just about cleared up. She gets so antsy and crabby being locked up in the house so I'm excited to just get her out of the house in the next couple days!
DD is going to be abby cadabby. I just finished her costume tonight after she laid down. I'm excited for her to wake up to try it on! I don't think I'm dressing up. I was thinking I could just dress in all red and be Elmo for trick or treating. I used to really get into Halloween now all my energy goes into DDs costume.

My nephew stuck a pebble up his nose when he was about 2. It had to get vacuumed out in the ER. Kids are so weird.

We went to touch a truck today. G's favorite parts were the fire trucks & the backhoes. He wasn't enthused about all the loud horns but handled it fairly well.
I understand that feeling aggiebug. I feel bad more so about dd2 not getting the same one on one if that makes sense but she loves her big sis so much and she looks (up) to her for everything.
We went to the zoo today with H's coworker and his family. It was the first time I met them but it felt comfortable. Their son is the same age as A and have a 2nd one on the way. The weather was gloomy but perfect temp. Now we are doing house work, ordered pizza, and getting ready to watch the Cubs game at my house with family! Gooooo cubbies!
First day of training yesterday went well. However, this is the mud season now so I'm worried I'm going to run out of things for her to work on. It's a super busy time of year, but not too much in the world she was hired for. But it's only for the next few weeks.
Lady night V was so crazy hyper. It took him a while to calm down at bedtime, and I'm surprised he didn't fuss more when I actually laid him down.
aggiebug I'm starting to worry about upsetting the balance with this second one on the way. I worry about V not getting the one on one he is used to and being jealous, and everytime we do even the most routine things I wonder how I'm going to do it with two. Like bedtime. V's routine is simple and easy but how do you put two kids to bed?
kartish,. I hear ya. H is having a lot more of those feelings that I, but I most definitely have them too. I keep telling myself we aren't the first to have 2 or more kids... On repeat. I have heard the transition from 1 to 2 is the most difficult and I can see why. (And this is where I repeat we aren't the first to do this lol).
As sahm I also worry about being home alone with a newborn and a toddler omg.
kartishaggiebug you guys will be fine. It's just a new normal once you get into a groove. If I have to put them both to bed, it's the oldest first as the LO hangs out. Then LO (or the other way around; whatever works for you). And I know every kid is different but N never acts like she misses being an only child or feels put out bc of it. I think she can't even understands that. Like I said, I feel worse that A doesn't get the same "upbringing" but she doesn't understand that either. Everyone in the family shifts and adjusts and I know you guys will too!!
I just have to get a headband to put the pink and purple pigtails on and trim the bottom of it. I guess she's got a little bit of time to get used to it. And she has a pink sweatshirt to wear under it. ETA-picture fail. I'll keep trying
