Randoms for the Weekend

[dogmama22]

Anyone else enjoying holiday festivities this weekend?

[dogmama22]

We just got back from Santa's Workshop. Santa was not a hit. I have some ponchos to deliver this afternoon and then cloth diaper class.
DH is working in our basement decluttering. Hopefully he gets a lot done today.

We went to Breakfast with Santa at my office this morning. M did great but I have little patience for other's little hellions.

Lazy day around here, probably no holiday festivities. MH is acting like he's sick, so of course just laying around like a lump. I'm trying to get baby clothes washed/organized and clean the car seat too. Nap time for N=nap for me, so tired.

I think M finally went down for a nap. I want to nap too, but should proabably study for finals instead.

I took DD to red balloon this morning to play. Then did some Christmas shopping and now it's nap time.

Is it sad that just reading sour Skittles makes my mouth water? Lol

We are working on more decluttering this weekend. We have Christmas with DHs aunts and uncles tomorrow. I hope there is good food. I wanna take my bottle of wine that I got from the gift exchange yesterday (my own bottle, haha), but I feel like MIL will pass judgement that I'm an alcoholic. Drinking twice in one weekend...shameful. *rolls eyes*

You need the wine scarf after all lol

dogmama22 I'm starting to wonder about cloth diapering the twins. I imagine it would be more cost effective that 2, potentially all 3, in diapers. Do you have any good resources I should check out? Is it a ton of work and laundry? Would you do it if you were going to go back to work, or only if you were going to SAH? I'm not 100% if I'll go right back to work or not...

I did it while working full time, but we always had disposables on hand too. I decided if I came home and was too tired to wash diapers, I wasn't going to stress about it. Do you have an HE washer?

[lindsay]

dogmama22 not sure, I'll check the make and model and see if I can find out

Yeah let me know what you have and I can give a better idea of how long you could go between washes. I can definitely help you find economical brands to try.

It's HE dogmama22

I'd say even with twins, if you had enough diapers, you could probably wash twice/ week. It's a short wash cycle (quick wash, speed wash, etc) then a long heavy duty wash (heavy duty, whites). You can dry in the dryer. I know HEs take longer, but it's very little hands on time. I use all in one diapers so I just wash, dry and wear. Other styles of diapers may require you to add parts or pieces after washing.

[dogmama22]

Once they start solids or if they are supplemented with formula, you do have to remove the poop before it goes in the washer, but it's not too bad. You can use liners like sstwinklinglites

Oh I've got you covered! Let me pull out the computer and grab some graphics from my class! I'll also take a picture of one because they're not what most people imagine at all.
