Good morning everyone! DD was up at 6 on the dot. I think every weekend I talk about getting coffee and donuts and this morning was no different. I got a Boston cream, a Chocolate cream and an iced coffee! Not sure why I'm not losing any weight. It's supposed to be in the high 60s today and my family is coming to visit and celebrate my sisters birthday!
Good morning! We were also up at 6 on the dot, DS slept till 7 all week, but apparently he's been super excited for the weekend? He's already down for his first nap, and H made yummy pancakes and bacon for breakfast though it's supposed to be in the 70s today, so looking forward to enjoying the weather and just running some errands and cleaning, so nothing crazy.

J and I have to go to my cousins bridal shower an hour and a half away. Not looking forward to that. She hates the car and I hate driving that far with just the two of us.
Morning. Not a whole lot planned. It's supposed to be close to 80 today. Outside time with C, grocery store, pick up some new fish for the tank in our dining room now that it's not leaking anymore. Anyone else's LO scream because you won't let them outside? C is going to live outside when he's older. Every time I tried to bring him in yesterday he threw a fit! I see today being the same.
I stayed up way too late reading a book, and then couldn't fall asleep. Luckily, DH got up with V this morning. We are running some errands and then heading to the beach playground today to enjoy the weather. I bought a new slow cooker ,and I'm more excited than I should be about using it. Sometimes I can't believe what excites me now lol.
pghtruelove I totally understand. Can you give her some different/less used toys that may keep her entertained because they seem new to her? I'm crossing my fingers for a smooth trip for you!

Every time! DD has also added yelling whenever I ask the dogs if they want to go outside because she likes to watch them outside with me while they're doing their business!

Thanks mgrandy. We've tried everything but nothing helps. I'm just hoping she naps the whole time. Luckily my grandma lives about half way and my mom halfway between them(I hope that makes sense?) so I ha e a bunch of places I can stop on the way if I need to.
Also I have no idea what to wear to this thing. I hate wedding season.

Morning, ladies! We just have church and then working more on the swing set on our agenda today. I did not realize the labor that goes into assembling a swing set! pghtruelove, Do you have a car mirror? The purpose is that you can look back in your rear view mirror to see the baby, but DD seems convinced it's another baby she sees and will sit and chat with herself, which keeps her busy. Maybe that could help?

erbear yay for mama!! Jules has been talking so much(wether is some actually words or babbling) but will not donut in front of other people!! Shy baby! blueskiessmiling yeah she doesn't seem to care about the mirror baby in the car. Anywhere else, she loves the mirror baby. She just hates the car, a lot.
We went to church this morning. It was my week not to sing, which is always a bit more of a leisurely start. L gets so excited at church that she never naps on Sunday morning, so I'm currently in nap jail whilst H is at his rehearsal. My dad needs to attend the second half of the rehearsal, so Mum is coming to play with L. I'm looking forward to even half an hour on my own!
Morning! DH is on his way home from work, so I'm finally off solo parenting duty! Headed to church, then we are going to my parents after to tell them the news about the new squish! Hopefully we can get some yard work done and then take a walk. Have a good one everyone!

Happy Sunday! We're about to head out to a race, then it's off to go watch a baseball game with LBB's team. I think we're going to leave the game early and meet up with some friends at a brewery.
Happy Sunday! Today we have Church and then some visiting family. It's supposed to be nice out today so maybe we will head to the park for a bit. My SIL is pissed at me today because I refused to bring B for birthday cake last night at 8pm! DH went and said they didn't have cake until closer to 9:30. We have 6 nieces and nephews that are under 6 and they were a mess by the time cake and presents were done. Who has a 6 year olds birthday cake that late?? They get pissed when I won't bring B to things that late. None of their kids go to bed before 10 and you can tell they need sleep. Sorry, vent over.
We got up around 7. O's down for nap 1 which was nice and easy unlike yesterday which involved a lot of screaming and no nap. Need to go to the grocery store, finish laundry, and mow the grass today. It's supposed to be really nice again so yay sunshine!
Joolschweets, mbjune13, some people seem to lack so much common sense. I would have more sympathy for your childless friends, Jools, except that you did tell them! Mbjune, those poor kids - it's really not fair to keep them up that late.
Joolschweets I'm sorry you had a late night out with LO. Some people really don't understand that babies don't generally like being out so late but I'm glad you got to spend some time with friends. purple my in laws seem to lack common sense a lot when it comes to kids and they have more than enough experience. I'm the black sheep because my kid goes to bed early and likes routine. I also don't drag her around if I don't need to.
Oh FFS... I just voice googled something that was an old inside joke between me an a friend who needs cheering up so I could send it to her in a text. DH overheard me and asked what it meant and I told him it was nothing. He kept pushing and pushing demanding to know and I told him it's an inside joke and one of those things that isn't explainable so I can't. He wouldn't let it go. He just stormed out the door and slammed it and I can now hear him in the driveway shoveling snow and bitching not exactly under his breath about how unreasonable I am because I "refuse" to tell him. JFC!

+1 to not understanding why people don't get that kids go to bed early (at least mine does), especially when they've had LO's before. My SIL does this all the time wanting to drop by and see A at 8. Sorry he's already asleep.
Holy crap @jimbobcooter
@akwild A does the same thing in the grass, not a fan.
We've been up since 7 and A's working on nap #2. We'll be outside planting roses this afternoon. Then it's salmon for dinner. Thanks for all the tips!
pghtruelove I'm responding before I finish reading, but we take Snugapuppy in the car with us. I was just thinking about how she's a lifesaver. She vibrates and sings. It's one of the only things that will calm him down if he's flipping out in the car. I think they sell an elephant version too. I know you've tried various things, but I figured I'd throw it out there in case it helps.
It's a double coffee day here. We stayed up late watching Everest because I'm teaching Into Thin Air for the next couple of weeks and the kids keep mentioning it. It was good, but Jude was up fussing most of the night too. Oh well. At least we're on our way to the children's museum now! Get ready for some AW pics!
