The kiddos have been fed and L is taking a bath to remove the copious amount of almond butter she smeared on herself. Gotta do some chores and get myself ready when she goes down for a nap. DH will take SS to taekwondo and then we have to head out to the science museum for his party. Fingers crossed for a good day for all!
SO let me sleep in. I had awful insomnia last night and he was snoring like a wildebeest. So I just woke up And now I'm putting Lu down for nap before she has swim. It's viciously cold here. Perfect day for a bathing suit 🙄.
Morning. I'm just getting out of bed, DH let me sleep in. I am going to get my oil changed in a little bit. While I'm there I'm gonna check out the pilot because I've started down that rabbit hole.

After a load of clothes, a load of dishes, two baths for L, a shower for DH, and a long shower for SS, I still managed to get a full hot shower. It's a party day miracle! #liveblogmyday

It's DH's birthday. We went to a hibachi grill for lunch. DD did great and went right down for a nap when we got home. I am about to take a nap myself.

Just got back home from the party. It seems like it was a success despite only one of SS's friends coming. They had a blast playing and we got his parents contact info for future play dates. His dad was a cool dude, so hopefully DH and I will make friends with them too. I'm exhausted now and praying L takes a nap so I can stare into space and drink a glass of wine,
The basement is primed! Now onto the real painting. We are breaking for supper right now and then I will go back down and start on H's room. It's purple and I'm hoping it's not too dark.
So my MIL, SIL, and H's aunt were supposed to go out to lunch then come over to see DS. We were expecting them around 2-3, and DS usually goes down between 4-4:30 for a nap.
Apparently MIL and Aunt were chatting so much at the end of lunch that they took almost an hour to leave after paying their bill. They arrived at like 4:30, so since Aunt lives a fair drive away and DS was still happy I let him stay up.
As he's playing and getting kinda tired Aunt asks if it's his nap time. As I'm saying yes MIL is saying no.
WTF do you know?! You haven't actually asked me about his schedule and you know babies can vary a bit from day to day, why would you answer? And if you wanted Aunt to have a longer visit, show up earlier, we were home all afternoon because we were expecting you.
She didn't argue and Aunt was all put him down whenever he needs to, so I put him down like 5 min later, but I'm still annoyed.
piperhalliwell, I'm glad SS had fun trtlcrzy, yay for the colour coat, I always love how paint transforms a room
H's room is painted. I still need to do a few touch ups and paint the closet. I will accomplish that tomorrow hopefully. My right hip/groin is killing me. I soaked in the tub for a bit but it still hurts.
Sorry your MIL was late and then trying to control the situation morwen. It sounds like aunt is more familiar with babies/schedules. I'm glad she was respectful.
It's meatball making day over here. I'm about to make and freeze a whole lot. I'm excited I've decided to let C skip his nap in order to try to get him down on time tonight. Lu is just puttering around so who knows when she will sleep... Hope everyone is having a good Sunday!

We're just cleaning and hanging out today. Low stress day with the family. Listening to an 80s-90s-2000s playlist on Spotify that is really taking me back to middle school.
I've spent my day mediating toddler fights and painting. The bathroom is done and my hands are so sore. I managed to get paint in my hair today so that was annoying. I'm leaving to take my nephew back to my sister in a few minutes.
I had an ok weekend. It's a full moon tonight, and I'm really convinced that it dictates my kids' behaviour over the last couple days. They have been insane. DD more than DS, but DS had his moments too.
Last night H and I finally got to have a date night again. We went out to a place that specializes in ribs. So delicious. Plus, yay kid free time. It was greatly needed. I was starting to lose patience.
