We had a good bedtime last night after the awful one the night before, so that's promising. And he STTN which has been hit or miss lately.
V went back to daycare this morning, we are trying to get him back into his routine. He started crying when we pulled on to the street. He was hiding behind me when I was signing him in. I wanted to just take him back home, but that would defeat the purpose. I hate rough drop offs.
We are spending the toddler free day moving things to the basement. Or more specifically, DH will be moving and I'll be watching.
Aww poor V it will be good to be back in a routine but it can be so tough too.
We are expecting snow tonight, enough H might have to work from home tomorrow. Hahahahahaha that will be interesting with the circus that is our house with a toddler and an infant.
Today I should run a few errands to prepare for our trip to Texas Wed. Oh and laundry so I can pack. Thankfully it's hot there and cold here so the wardrobes don't overlap that much

Grey chilly gross day here. We've been doing crafts and chores this morning. G and I both slept way late without realizing it; time change day 2 is always harder. And we tend to sleep a little later when he has an early morning wake up (4am last night.)
kartish good job being tough; it's probably good to get back to the norm for V. 'Like' for him STTN in his big boy bed! aggiebug we woke up with a few inches here. Expecting lake effect snow all day tomorrow.
Yesterday we went shopping and got a few home things. We are getting back into decorating post painting/holidays/baby shower. I am blow away with how much a simple end table costs. Especially when we need probably three for the living room because of how the furniture is laid out. We opted to do that instead of a coffee table (bc the girls like to run around the loop of the house). We also got a really big, nice mirror for above the couch.
Today we are staying in, not because of the snow, but because I have a corned beef in the slow cooker and I'm paranoid and like to be home during that. N said the garlic I was adding smelled like skunk. I said she better watch it saying stuff like that bc she's Bohemian (Czech). We are know for using tons of garlic on everything lol. A said it smelled good though. Can't wait for dinner which is basically St Patrick's Day food early (due to scheduling and lent even though eating meat on that day has been pardoned by the pope): corned beef, white baked potatoes, cabbage, and lots of yummy horseradish sauce!
And my H thought he saw them yesterday but today has confirmed it! Remember my dove couple from last year?! They are back! As cute as ever! And they are going back and forth from the same nest spot in our spruce. So I guess they weren't discouraged by their one non-productive egg from their last brood of last year, like I feared! Yay Mr & Mrs M Dove! You go! Can't wait to see the first babies!
Oh man! I want corned beef! I'm the only one that likes in my house so we don't usually have it
Yesterday we took the kids to the pool. I put LO in DD1's puddle jumper life jacket and she went nuts. She was swimming around on her own and saying "I'm swimming". She kept wanting to go down the little slide and she would go right under and pop up with a big smile on her face! Amazing! Now I'm scrambling to get another one of those jackets for LO which is hard in Canada in the winter.
And we have a crazy storm on the way and I forgot my purse at home

We're not doing corned beef either and I'm a little jealous. I want some!
We went to some open houses this weekend and I got the impressions that DH just wants me to officially put my foot down and say we aren't moving. We had a big fight about it last week and now it seems like he's really backing off of it. It was pretty discouraging to see what is available in our price range - we could get into a better school district by moving to a significantly more expensive house that would be significantly smaller than our current place. I told him that we'd go look again this weekend with the realtor so we can see the ones that weren't having open houses and if we still don't think there are any good options for us to buy we'll put the whole thing on hold for a while.
If you find a little corned beef it's not hard to cook in the slow cooker along with another meal for the rest of the family. I could totally eat a small one all by myself, especially over a few days. If you like it, just do it! Now is the time!

I'm beat today. I was going to watch Netflix after I got DS down, but it looks like throwing tomorrow's dinner in the crackpot tonight to cook overnight, a shower, and bed is all that's in the cards for me. This is a very beef and root vegetable heavy week as I'm making pot roast.
