My parents are moving in with my sister and her family today! I was at their house yesterday packing all day and I'm exhausted. DH will have DB this morning while I go pack up the van, and then we'll switch in the afternoon and he'll come unload...
Tonight we have dinner plans with his work friends and I'm going to be a TOTAL zombie. Hoping DB starts meltdown around 7:30 so we can all go home and get to bed!
My BFF and her family are here in between switching jobs, so I'm enjoying the time with them before they move again! Today I'm tutoring, then we're all spending the afternoon at the pool. Tomorrow DH has a work brunch in the city and wants me and LO to come but I think we may go check out a local consignment shop instead.
going to a 3rd birthday party tomorrow w DH and DS. i don't have any experience with toddler girls (all my close friends have boys) so i went to target and got her a pink my little pony and a my generation peyton doll. they reminded me of cabbage patch kids.
today not sure what to do. maybe take DS to the mini train ride by our house.
Last night we went to a festival and DS had a blast and dd slept like a champ in her carrier. Today there are thunderstorms, so I'm going to work on potty training DS and get all of DD's newborn clothes packed up and new clothes organized. Tomorrow, not sure.

We are going to an airshow today! So excited, we are an aviation geek family and DD1 can't wait for the "ay-panes!"
As for the rest of the weekend, no real plans. DH wants to do stuff around the house and I'm desperate to get out because I've been cooped up with the kids all week long, so maybe I'll just take the baby and leave him with the toddler!
Headed to the ILs to hang by the pool. It's such a pain getting out the door, though, especially bc DH is working! We will go grab him on the way. He tried to send us without him... Lol.. Yeah right! Your family, your problem, buddy.

Going to the other side of the state to get pears and peaches for canning. Long drive with T and 2 big kids.. Braced for T to scream his sweet little head off for at least an hour.
And my morning whine-fest: DH tried to eat leftover Hawaiian pizza for breakfast, and is pouting because I took it from him. He never lets us order it because he hates cooked pineapple, so my brother got it for me when DH was gone the other night. Of course, he's saying, "But I like it cold!" No, I literally never get my favorite pizza because you bitch about hot fruit. Keep your hands off my damn pizza. Also, figure out how to function whilst holding a baby.

YES my husband thinks if he is holding the baby I need to do everything for him. I tell him he isn't paralyzied and I function all day while holding him. Doesn't work though!

Today getting my hair highlighted and tomorrow going to a hotel rooftop in Astoria to celebrate my sisters birthday. First girls night out since M was born. Excited!
And, I had H move the swing into our bedroom from The living room so I'll finally sleep in our bed instead of the couch. It's been 9 long weeks and I fucking hate that couch now lol.
We have no plans. I'm trying to convince h to go for a walk on a trail later. LO slept in her swing and I got to clean all of her bottles, made lactation cookies, and started laundry.

Baby Expo this morning. Now it is raining and super windy so will stay indoors the rest of the day. DH is on nights, and I am hoping LO goes to bed easy again so I can finish "Go Set a Watchman" this evening. No Sunday plans.
It's a quiet weekend! Rainy, cold, inside. Something we don't do often so it's been nice getting some things done around the house and just chilling. Going to be watching football later and it sounds like my parents will be here to watch the game with us. H has some work to do before he's back full time on Monday from summer break.
In AW news, DS cut his LAST baby tooth a couple days ago! So he's been feeling better and suddenly exploding in more vocabulary since! I actually teared up last night when I was reading a couple books to him and he was repeating everything back the best he could!

First vacation as a family of 4! We're up in the mountains. I wasn't prepared to go full on "camping" with a 2 month old, so we're staying in a cabin. We spent the day at the lake and will probably do the same tomorrow, with a hike thrown in. We're about to put the boys to bed, then DH and i are heading out to the deck with a bottle of wine.

So we drove over the mountains and got a couple hundred pounds of fruit, and T SLEPT THE WHOLE WAY THERE. So much for letting DH have a taste of my daily car ride battle, but it was pretty amazing. A nice change from his non-stop screaming routine.
The worst part was the smoke from wildfires. Visibility was maybe a 1/4 mile. We have smoke here now too, since the wind stopped (which given the circumstances, I'll take the smoke).
Rocking the solo gig while DH is gone all weekend. From the look of the credit card and all the pics he is sending me of what they're doing, I think I have a pretty nice girl's trip coming my way in the future...
I have to randomly brag: DS1 is potty trained! No accidents the last three days and he is rocking underwear at naps and at night! I am thrilled it was so easy (relatively speaking!).
We took Owen to meet my grandparents yesterday. They're in their upper 80s and can't make the 3 hr trip anymore. O slept most of the way there and was darling while we visited. He took short cat naps and woke up smiling for them. Coming home he screamed, cried, and fussed for the last hour because it was bedtime and we weren't home. Last night proved to be rough from us all being tired.
Today is recuperation day to get back to our schedule. And probably yard work.
I'm so excited about today. I posted on a couple of FB yard sale groups that I'm working for a start-up charter school who needs book donations. I didn't think much would come of it but I have to go do pick-ups at 8 different people's houses today!!!! And one lady said that she literally has a whole barn full of school supplies (retired teacher) that she's throwing out tomorrow and I can take whatever fits in my car!!! Our students are so poor and many have no books/school supplies at home, so I'm extremely excited to be able to get all this stuff for them!
erbear I went to a scholastic warehouse sale on Fri night too...thanks for the tip! I did pretty well...86 books for $167. The other teachers there told me that the December sale at this warehouse is always better and to come back then too.
Carter's had an extra 20% off clearance and my mom was with me, so baby has some new clothes for next summer and of course two new outfits for now. Plus, I got the gray chevron hamper I've been looking for at home goods!
