In bed. I've been up since 6. I'm hungry. Dh promised to make breakfast but he's snoring away. Leo woke up with me but was tired and crabby. I rubbed his head until he fell back asleep. Hope he wakes up to make it to gym class. After that we're supposed to go to Macys. They're having a big sale. I need bday presents plus a new frying pan.
Since our cool weather is soon to be over, I think I'll menu plan soups and stews this week.
Good morning! I am also in bed, listening to DD sing twinkle twinkle little star from her bed and hoping she will fall back asleep. No other plans today but maybe scrub my floor. littlelion hope Leo wakes in time for gym class.

littlelion Mh promised to get up with B and I could 'sleep til 12' haha until B woke up at 6 and he was all 'don't you have to nurse him?....' So we were all up then! Hope you make your gym class and get some good stuff at Macys! nemomof2 Aww that would be cute if it's not too early ...hope she falls back asleep and you find something fun to do! (Or scrub the floor if you must haha)
We put B down early for his morning nap to meet my SILs at the park before lunch. It should be fun! We are also thinking about taking B to the Easter bunny, but I doubt he'll like it. (We never took him last year but I'm not sure why...I guess never thought about it.)
reginaphalange3 Smooth move by your H- the boob is also my H's favorite cop out. I can't wait to be done with the boob for that very reason! Have fun at the park today!
BabyStandish oh no! Hope LO feels better soon and you guys get a nap today.
My H is working today and I have a bajillion chores and a ton of reading. Thinking I will take the kids to the park to try to wear them out so I can study this afternoon. I haven't run this plan by LO yet, so we will have to see what boss lady says about all of that.
I am working all weekend! BOO!!! we had a blast at the rodeo yesterday...LO slept until 10AM yesterday after going down at 8:30 the night before...it scared the heck out of me so I stared at the monitor until he moved...lol...but then last night we were up at 1am and he kept stretching and acting like he couldn't get comfortable so I am sure he is in a growth spurt! Then hubby said he slept until 9:30 this AM...poor baby!!
reginaphalange3 I have thought about taking my kids to see the Easter Bunny. I think is because all the costumes I have seen freak me out, lol. Have fun at the park today! BabyStandish oh sorry you were up so much and LO has a cold. Hopefully he gets well quickly! kcrus yes it was cute but too early. Hope the boss gave you the go ahead babyw15 they always sleep in on the days you can't take advantage of it.
Trying to get both kids to nap at the same time so I can go and get some orders done for the shop. DD is not having it. Oh well I guess I will just sit here and TCF instead and listen to her sing in her room.

I'm tired. A lot of walking around at the mall. We made it to gym class. Leo loves to stare at the teacher while she sings and shows us how to warm up. I got great deals on the pans at macys. $23 for the pan & $13 for the red cooker!
Happy weekend ladies! Z and I are relaxing at home today. I might take her to the park later. I tried to get some cleaning done but she wanted to cuddle and I was not about to pass that up! Lol I made a pillow bed on the floor and she let me braid her hair while we watched Frozen (pics in the AW thread)! It looks so cute! She pulled a few curls out but it's mostly in tacked still. She's distracted by her elephant rider right now so I'm going to try and unload and load the dishwasher then put her down for a nap. littlelion nice deal! Is the red one from Paula Dean? If it is I have some and I love them! reginaphalange3 have fun at the park! BabyStandish I hope LO feels better soon! kcrus I hope the boss cooperates for you! Lol babyw15 Z has slept a lot longer than usual lately and I do the same thing! Lol I can access her monitor remotely from work so if she doesn't get up before I leave I check on her when I get into work. My H thinks I'm crazy. nemomof2 that's adorable! (The singing, not the no nap part)

BabyStandish boo I'm sorry you were up so much and your LO is sick. I'm sure it's not helping with your cutting back on nursing...hope it passes soon! kcrus I lol'd at your boss comment. Hope it all worked out and the park was fun and the kiddies were tuckered out in the afternoon. babyw15 sorry you're working, hope the work days go by quick for you! nemomof2 there are some super creepy Easter bunnies! Our mall one is pretty nice looking - with glasses I think haha! Sorry for lack of nap coordination, I want to have more kids but don't look forward to that part. Just getting one to nap can be tough! littlelion yay for gym class and good deals! The pans look nice!! I love some solo TV time! It's one of my main ways to relax ourcrazynavylife yay, good luck!! kml218 hiii! I didn't get to post the day you checked back in but glad to see you (though sorry for all the extra stress you've been going through!) OMG I love her braid!!! I have to admit one of the reasons I really want a girl someday is to do her hair haha!! I'm also just blown away she has enough hair to do that especially on top...B is just finally getting some longish hair on the sides and back, but the top is still pretty short! bkmama0 no nap days can be tough, glad she went down early for you!
reginaphalange3 Lol I was so excited while doing her braid I had to literally hold back squeals because I've wanted to try braiding her bangs FOREVER but she'd never let me!

The park was fun but we didn't make it to the mall. We actually checked out a townhouse rental and I think it's where we are going to move! The price isn't quite as cheap as we were hoping but it's a decent location and big enough. There's also a pool and gym included which will be huge this summer! B went through a crabby/moody teething spell for a few weeks, but he's been so happy this week and really cracks me up!! Hope he stays in this phase for awhile!
Z ended up falling asleep while trying to climb the pillow mountain but woke up 10 minutes later because my little dog started barking at a lizard she saw on the window and of course the big dog had to join in the fun I ended up taping some toilet paper rolls and a paper towel roll to the front door and making some pipe cleaner rings for her to drop through them. That kept her busy long enough for me to make dinner and finish the banana ice cream (which is amazing btw!). DH should be home soon so I'll keep her up to see him. I hope you all get some good sleep tonight!
Ladies I feel like a loser... I see all you mommy's doing sensory projects and I feel as though I should be doing this but I don't know where to start...please point me in the right direction...where do you find these neat idea?
Hope all you mamas survived daylight savings time. *Passes coffee out*
Had a busy, but good day yesterday! Got lots of errands done- Petsmart, Costco and Meijer. Dh and I took lo on a looong walk to the library. There's a little playground there that's got a lot for a little guy to play on.
Lo refused an afternoon nap and was a crabby disaster in the evening. Our friends had been wanting to babysit lo, so of course it was when he was a huge crab. Thankfully he was awesome after we left. Dh and I had a nice night- dinner and drinks and then we saw Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. It wasn't as much of a comedy as I was expecting, but it was good!
BabyStandish I hope sleep was better for you last night! Fx your lo feels better quickly and that you're able to cut down on nursing. kcrus lo looked like she had fun at the park! Hope you were able to get some studying done. nemomof2 how's the shop doing? littlelion woo hoo for a successful shopping trip! I'm jealous of your gym classes. The only ones around here are ridiculously expensive. ourcrazynavylife how was the house?? kml218 I am dying over those braids! She looks so grown up. bkmama0 I hope she stayed asleep for your sake! And that you got some beers or wine for surviving a no nap day. Yikes. reginaphalange3 that's exciting that you found a place! babyw15 I've taken things I've done with my preschoolers and adapted them for lo. I probably wouldn't know about a lot of this of it wasn't for teaching. Pinterest and Google is your friend! Some things have definitely been hit or miss. Lo loooved playing in the cornstarch/water mixture but hated finger painting. Sensory bottles are pretty easy to make- I did glitter, oil and water, rice with little beads/gems, and water/googly eyes/pom poms. I just used cleaned out pop bottles and used hot glue to seal the lids. Maybe we should start a sensory idea thread so it's all in one place!

The house was a mess. It was really dirty and needed some serious work. The neighborhood was fantastic though. Unfortunately we don't know if they will approve a VA loan because of the condition. So we may not even get to make an offer on the house. We're waiting to find out.
OK me again! LOL hubby came with LO and MIL to pick me up from work and go to lunch which was great I love seeing my little man while I am working because I work 12 hours and that is way to long to be away from him oh and hubby too ;0
But here is what I need some advice on LO is in size 3 pampers snugglers during the day and he was in them at night but started leaking because he is a belly sleeper and sleeps 10-12 hours a night...well now he is in Size 4 Pamper babydry and he is still leaking!! I make sure his peepee is pointed down when I put his diaper on but I am sure it moves at night...so what can I do to stop this!!!
Ugh, poor lo tripped and hit his forehead right on the corner of the wall. We immediately put ice on it, but he's still got a gnarly looking bump/bruise. I feel awful.
