Today I'm home with the boys but V is going on a sleepover with MIL tonight cause both DH and I forgot we had church tonight when MIL suggested it. Oh well. We could take him after but I think we'll just have him miss the service.
I need to finalize easter plans since I officially have it off now.
I'm with mishka29 about the sentence structure. A has been blowing me away with how she says things lately.
My phone had a major update yesterday and now it's so different. I don't like it; the texting is horrible. We are planning on dinner out tonight (maybe - I'm supposed to be fasting) and our "Friday family activity" is going to be dying Easter eggs! It's one of my favorite holiday things to do. I have this weird love of all things eggs. It's something about the shape, the natural colors, that baby animals hatch from them, and of course to eat the ones from the grocery store lol. I miss my dove family and their cute little dove eggs 😔

kartish I'm not bringing G to church tonight, since I'm going to stations of the cross at 5 and mass at 6. He did great last night & he'll go Sunday, but Friday is such a solemn mass I'm okay with not trying to mind a toddler during it.
When is the Easter bunny coming to your house? What's the plan?
I'm going to 'hide' some big plastic eggs with a chocolate in each. They each got a pair of pjs and a small chocolate bunny but I feel like I can't hide these bc I don't want them grabbing something that isn't theirs and then they want it and it's a fight.
Trying to keep it simple. Just need to figure out the when I guess.

Easter Bunny came yesterday before left for daycare and work since H is gone for the next 9 days. He'll hide some eggs when H gets back.
I have tonsillitis and am on steroids and an antibiotic since it's in my lymph nodes and I have a fever. My airway was getting restricted yesterday and I could only swallow liquids. I'm feeling better, but I'm trying to work from home with a toddler since his school is closed. So much for my comp day. I'm likely going to call in sick on Monday and WFH then. Hopefully DS doesn't get as sick as me.

mishka29 G will have a basket with his presents (book, maybe bubbles though I just made a big batch of homemade, a few chocolates) on the table when he gets up in the morning. We don't hide eggs at home. If we did, I'd do an early lunch and hunt eggs between lunch & nap.

My sister came over to watch DS while he napped so I could do errands (which is work today). He wasn't in bed yet because we'd just gotten home and my sister was on time for the first time ever. Of course he starts flipping out as I'm trying to get him ready for nap because it occurs to him that I'm leaving (he did not buy that she was just coming over to sleep). I had to take him for a walk in the stroller and bring him home with instructions to rock him and silently take him out again if he woke up.
I'm at a coffee shop doing work for 45 minutes ans cursing that I may never be able to have someone else put DS to sleep.
Hi ladies. H took both kids out of the house this morning so I could actually get some stuff done and it was amazing. We have rented a carpet cleaner and we will be cleaning carpets once we get the kids to bed. I am so relieved we are getting to this, our house stinks because our old dog is having some issues.
We haven't made it to any services yet this week. They are all right at bed time and while S is old enough to handle it, C just would be bad. He already screams if I drop her in child care so it would just be a mess. We will all go Sunday of course. As far as Easter goes we stuffed eggs with some bracelets, stickers and finger puppets a few have M&Ms. Her basket will have a book, a game and peeps. His will have a book, bibs and new pacifiers and mum mums.
Aw seamonster that's rough. He'll grow out of it... eventually...
I hope so. I couldn't leave him or she might not be so ready to agree to babysit for me at my house (he'll put himself down for nap if I leave him at her house).
My other sister came over tonight so both aunts were over for dinner. DS had a great time with them and was very social. He also showed how much mama is wrapped around his little finger most of the time.

FFFC: While I'm not bothered by how I look, I was really unhappy with the number on the scale at the dr. It was 15lbs more than I was expecting for the max and 10lbs more than I weighed at my max non-pregnant weight previously. There are a lot of changes I need to make, but I haven't wanted to make them. Mostly around eating at work which is both expensive and unhealthy and really doesn't taste good. There was always a tasty 500 calorie meal option at the Ireland site and I don't know why the US sites fail so badly at offering something even half as good.
seamonster how scary. Hope you feel better soon! And I know how you feel about your weight. I'm struggling to lose weight and it's much harder after kids! Can you bring your lunch or some of it? Or eat half of the meal you order and bring the other half home? mishka29 the Easter bunny will put things in their individual Easter basket - The bigger gifts. Then we do little stuff, food treats/snacks, and coins in eggs for an Easter egg hunt from Mom and Dad (bc we want in on the fun too - it's not all the bunny!) We are doing Easter vigil mass so we are free for Sunday morning to do this.
Last night I ate way too much but it was delicious and I still have half here at home. I stuck with water to drink - even out to eat. So weird for me. We got complimented twice on how well behaved (and beautiful) our children are. Makes me such a proud mama. Egg dying was so much fun. They did an eggcellent job 😉. No spills or mess either!
Today is some food prep for tomorrow and Easter vigil tonight. I know it's a long mass so we're just going to stay as long as we can. The girls will get either antsy or sleepy.

dreemkin I can bring my lunch and I need to start doing that again. I bought sandwich stuff and veggies to take. I may also make myself a hot breakfast at least a few moorings a week because I'm always hungry 3 hours after eating breakfast and I don't usually choose to eat fruit over second breakfast. My toddler can pack away second breakfast, but I long outgrew that metabolism.
I serve DS on a small salad plate. I'm going to start using that for myself to help with portion control.
