Thursday I don't care about you

[lilyelayne]

Just kidding, I do. What's up?

First flight went well. G was super playful at first, but thankfully our seat mate was a nice guy who likes babies. Now we're just hanging out waiting for flight 2.

lilyelayne Hooray for good flights!

I've been trying to get everything ready for DD's party this weekend and I didn't realize until last night when DH asked what we got for her that we actually didn't get her gift. Technically I did buy her a copy of On the Night You Were Born so we have something to give her, and I'll write something in the front cover - its a cheesy gift but I have no ideas. How old should they be for a cozy coupe? Where would we store a cozy coupe?

[dmorgendorffer]

@holachica Happy Birthday to your LO!

[aggiebug]

lilyelayne safe travels! And I forget of I ever actually responded but my head is improving thanks

dmorgendorffer cozy coupe is great or a ball pit/ tent has been a huge hit with DD. But really she will get a lot and won't notice if you don't have anything for her.

@holachica awww happy birthday DS!

We got the truck version of the cozy coupe for our dude. Feeling very unprepared for his party on Saturday, even though all that's left is getting the food. Anyone have any good punch recipes? I asked on the FB group but only got one option. Got anything yummy to share?

dmorgendorffer I always figure the party is the big gift. We also just got a few books and a Disney movie for their collection (emperors new groove - love that movie). Crozy coop is a good idea though.

Happy 1st baby @holachica!

AFM, just hanging out today. Got a drippy cold from DD1 so trying to rest (as much as you can with two LOs). I have to take DD1 to swim class tonight bc my DH is on call and can't leave, ugh. Otherwise, I would have had him go. Well, maybe the heat will be good for my cold. It's like a sauna in there bc the water is kept at 90+ degrees.

danitaec here is our family punch recipe. It is a tradition on Christmas Eve:

4 cups cranberry juice
4 cups pineapple juice
1 cup sugar
2 quarts ginger ale
1 pint lime sherbet
orange or lemon slices (can be frozen in ginger ale)

Warning: It is VERY sweet but it could easily be watered down or spiked! I also think my family gets a few batches worth to have enough throughout the night.

It is a gray windy and miserable day up here today. I nearly got blow off my feet walking over to one of the other buildings.

Glad V and I took advantage of the nice weather yesterday on our walk!

Today we are trying out the childcare at the gym for the first time, after I get off work. Hopefully it goes well.

Having a stomach virus and taking care of a one year old and three year old is so very unfun. Just saying.

Oh no! Fx for a quick recovery!

I want to get DS balls to turn his playpen into a ball pit. It's currently being used as a toy box instead of baby corral so turning it into a ball pit doesn't seem too far off.

Put a pause on sleep training for MMR shot and teething. Slept terribly until it was time for us to sleep and I finally got him down 90 minutes later and he slept great. So confusing.

[dreemkin]

Not going to swim class tonight. I don't think it's fair to the other's in her class when she has a drippy nose.

[lilyelayne]

dmorgendorffer I think the book & party are plenty gift if you're satisfied with them.
@holachica happy birthday, TJ!
maryxc1 feel better soon

Nursing DS for bedtime now. Considering he had a rough night last night plus we woke him at 345am (which is 145am here in California) and he only got 3 small travel naps today, I'd say making it to 6pm is pretty darn good.
