Good morning ladies! Hope all your LOs gave you a good night's sleep and you get to 'celebrate' today with green beer (or the refreshing drink of your choosing)!!
Lo woke up once last night, but dh got up and settled him back down. All the crazy weather yesterday left me with a wicked headache that took most of the afternoon/evening to shake.
When lo got up this morning the first thing he wanted (after the boob, of course) was to read books. He picked them out and brought them to me and we snuggled and read. It makes my heart happy seeing how much this kid loves to read.

Woke up this morning to sirens. I guess it's springtime here in Texas. One of my friends is coming over for a playdate this morning. She lost power at 4am and it still hasn't come back on.

ashlantic 5 points to YH for getting up for you! Jealous you got to start your day off reading with your LO. My nanny said she and LO read all day yesterday and I was so jealous of that time I miss when I'm at work. BabyStandish its your old old avatar! Have fun with your play date!

No big St Pattys plans here. Just work work work. If it's not raining when I get off I'm going to take LO on a run because I feel like it's almost shorts season and I could stand to tone things up a bit. Have a good day ladies!
Nothing planned here. We are supposed to have a snow storm roll in today so I planned on staying in. Thank goodness for the activity thread and pinterest.
Top o'the Morning! Sorry, that is my attempt at a little St. Pattys Day humor. ashlantic major points to your DH! BabyStandish have fun at you play date and stay safe. I forget how crazy that area gets in spring. When I was freshly pregnant with LO I was working at the courthouse and had to go down to the basement becuase 2 tornados went through. I was scared and had to pee sooo bad but there was no bathroom in the historic courthouse basement. laceysbryan hope you get your run in. As for the missing things I always thought that with DD when I was working. It sucks, sorry mama. bkmama0 cute idea!
I have been MIA this week, but LTing because I had a custom rush order. Other then that not much planned besides cleaning house and getting ready for DDs bday party on Sunday. My parents are coming in Saturday and staying for a few days and then we are have a lunch with just family for her bday. I'm not doing anything big since she will be three and plan on saving the big parties for when she gets older. She has asked for a Queen Elsa cake, so we will see how that turns out. And.... A peek at how the custom turned out

Good morning!
ashlantic I love when Em does that. She'll grab a book crawl over and plop down in your lap for you to read to her. BabyStandish enjoy your play date! laceysbryan good on you for getting some exercise in. I have the same thoughts but haven't figured out a plan yet. raven enjoy your day in. I vote pj's and cuddles haha. bkmama0 yea, we've got quite a bit of Irish background too. I'll have to remember to put something green on her. Haha nemomof2 that custom order turned out super cute!

nemomof2 you could always do one of those Barbie dress cakes for her queen Elsa cake. You basically get an Elsa doll and stick it into a mound of cake and decorate the cake part like its a dress. Should be pretty easy.
Good morning ladies and Happy St. Patty's Day from your favorite Irish Mexican ashlantic, I'm also jealous of your morning story time with LO. Z loves books and my mom sends me pictures of them reading together but like laceysbryan, I'd rather it be me. BabyStandish, have fun on your play date! I hope your friend gets her power back soon. raven, Gotta love Pinterest! It's supposed to rain here all weekend so I've been pinning a bunch of indoor activities for Z and I. bkmama0, Love the TBT thread idea! I'll be posting there later! nemomof2, Those are adorable! I wish I could sew! I've only gotten 1 order on my Etsy site so far. All the rest have been family friends.
Today is going a lot better then yesterday. I'm still getting push back from kids but not as much. I also have 6 absent so that has a lot to do with the extra quiet lol. Tomorrow is our annual Pet Day and I'm super excited because I get to have one of my fur babies with me all day! I think I'm going to bring the boxer since he would enjoy running around with the kids. My cairn has come for the past 4 years but she always gets bored half way through the day and insists on sitting in my lap. She will have a lot more fun at Nana's house with Z.
ourcrazynavylife I try to never wake the kids unless it is really late in the day or we have to be somewhere. I have always heard if they are sleeping a lot they need because they are growing or fighting a minor virus. kml218 thanks! This was actually a repeat customer from one of my valentines sets, so I felt more comfortable making the skirts and shorts since I don't normally carry something like that in my shop. Most of my orders came from family/friends in the beginning. I think it helped to change my titles around so my items showed up more during a search.

I'm bored. The boards are so slow today. And I am dragging at work. For the past 2 days if I'm honest. I wish my desk converted to a standing desk. My legs hurt from sitting so much. I've been on Amazon looking at stuff to buy Leo. My sister said she might have a twin frame so we could get away with not buy that. The items I think we're gonna get: water table (2 levels), picnic table and a swimming pool. I hope we have many warm, sunny days this summer.
ourcrazynavylife that is cute! We happen to have a Elsa doll. She has asked for her ice castle for a cake but maybe I can show her this instead
I once made my niece princess cupcakes like this. The doll bodies I bought at a cake supply shop and it was fun to ice the cupcakes with tall swirly frosting resembling a ball gown.

Hope you're feeling much better today! Baby bookworms are the cutest! You should get a shirt that says that
BabyStandish I hate storms for that reason! Glad you're all ok. Have fun on your playdate! laceysbryan and kml218 hope you ladies get some snuggle and reading time this evening. Hugs! raven hope the snowstorm isn't too bad for you guys! bkmama0 loving the tbt thread! Good idea. nemomof2 those outfits are adorable! Good luck with the Elsa cake! ourcrazynavylife basically what nemomof2 said. Take advantage of that extra long naptime! kml218 I'm glad your day is going better! Sorry you had to deal with unreasonable parents. My friends that teach high school have rants like yours all the time, and I've had my share of crazies when I taught preschool. I've been in your shoes! Hugs. Hopefully the rest of the school days before spring break fly by. littlelion we got a picnic table and a water table for lo's birthday, I'm excited to use it! We also got the little Tikes truck and that's been a big hit!
Thank God lo took an afternoon nap for the 1st time in forever. He's been in a funky mood today. Happy until you look at him the wrong way and then all of a sudden he's grumpy and having meltdowns. Jekyll and Hyde toddler for sure!

I am so hungry today and want all the sweets!! I just ate some s'mores but now I still feel like I need something more. But I also need to go to the gym in a couple hours so I probably won't get to since we need to go grocery shopping.
LO has been sleeping for like 3.5 hours. He did wake up, but he fell back asleep after I gave him the boob.

These kiddos must be going thru a growth spurt. Didn't someone have that book about the leaps? One day this week Leo took a 3 hr morning nap which never happens.
I also said I'd do Zumba tonight. But I need to stop by the grocery store for something and then make dinner. Sometimes 7 pm is too early to go and other times 8 pm is just too late.
