LO slept in until almost 10 and then we had a nice family breakfast. H is mowing the lawn then we are heading up to my parent's house so my dad can spends time with both his grandkids.
Their property is between two rivers and has thousands of miles of hiking around it so it will be nice to get out of the city for a day!

budders shit... Wtf DH!! Sounds like a lot of husbands are in lazy mode today.
We just got to H's friends bday party. All of the adults are playing wii while the two little kids play with their mom in the other room. H hands me a wii remote and DB immediately starts fussing. Guess I'll be with this random girl and the kids in the kitchen the rest of the party. Fun.
Our internet is on the fritz and will be for a few days yet and I'm tired of waiting for things to load or work so just popping to say hi! Hope everyone has a good weekend!
We got some good spring cleaning out of the way this morning, and H is going to get the backyard mowed for its first cut of the year! Hoping it helps get some of the winter out of the way and brings out a bit more of the new stuff and start looking nicer!
We've been hanging around the house today cleaning, doing laundry, and getting projects done. This morning I cleaned out the fridge and finally put together B's busy board! DH mounted it this afternoon. Now we're watching the sox game (MLB Extra innings was seriously the best purchase we've made in a while) and marinating steaks for dinner. I love Sundays!

I loved our 2 hour nap this morning, but it's almost 5pm and DB hasn't taken a second nap yet... I could probably keep him up and do 6pm bedtime, but I've been LOVING the 8-8 schedule the last few days... So of course he's playing happily in his crib. Please sleep baby!

kemdupuis, What is the board mounted to? Also, I'm glad to "know" you because it reminds me that women who ACTUALLY like sports really exist. Keeping me well-rounded

It's 430 and I'm just finally getting a chance to say hi.
We're on day 6 of diarrhea-like morning diapers, so it looks like we may have to see the ped tomorrow about this. He's been drinking pedialyte today, and refusing bottles, which is so unlike him. He normally eats 35 oz of formula a day, so 28 by this point, and he's only had maybe 18 oz today. He's also teething hardcore, possibly molars? Idk. He was inconsolable this morning, but then was happy as can be at grandma and grandpa's house, so who knows.
I *think* I have figured out what to get my elfster person, so that's exciting :-)
musicfrk2002, poor J! I hope he feels better soon, and that you're able to see the doctor promptly tomorrow.
kemdupuis, that looks so much fun! I must show H some pictures. L would love something like that. Not sure where we'd put it so it might have to wait till the new house...

I've been busy today- my China cabinet went from this:
To this:
And I still need to touch it up (waiting for the white to dry), put a new backing in (burlap), and add the "grunge glaze" next weekend so it doesn't look quite so bright:)
Then my mom came with us for a walk to the park followed by pedicures! It's been a very good Sunday:)
Jude loved the museum! And then we wandered around a Japanese festival in the park. It was a great day! And here's an AW video, as promised. vimeo.com/163185946
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.
I can't imagine reading that in school. I was so hysterical reading that book that a flight attendant thought my boyfriend had just broken up with me.
Heading to the brewery. Both kids are asleep in the backseat.
carolyngrace I'm so glad to know you, too! So, DH made a 2 by 4 frame behind the peg board. I zip tied all the fun stuff to the peg board, and when I was finished, we nailed a plywood back onto the wood frame. We put mounting brackets on it and secured it to the back of our fireplace. It's a little rigged up, but it keeps B out of the fireplace, and I know he can't pull it down. Someone else zip tied theirs to their stair banisters, and I thought that was genius. We just don't have any stairs in our house! purple, it's definitely worth finding a spot in your new place for- it's the only thing that has kept B in one place for more than 5 minutes.
mrsmonogrammed I love the teal! So pretty, and very striking!
gigi3126 I can't get over how well he is walking!!! Go Jude!! B is still just army crawling haha
It seriously blows me away how much better he gets at it every day. That's definitely from H. I'm pretty sure I didn't walk until I was over a year old. We keep joking that this early motor skill development needs to carry over to potty training.
For those of you thinking "I wish my baby would start walking," I present to you P sitting under the dining table eating the raspberries he took off the counter the second my back was turned. So..... Yeah.
musicfrk2002 Was it a pain in the ass to install? I bought a bike trailer to go on some rental bikes for our beach vacation this summer. Is it worth it for a week of use?
I didn't think it was too bad. The tires weren't inflated, so you'd need to make sure you have a pump if your trailer has pneumatic tires. The hardest part was attaching the coupler onto my bike, but that was more of an issue with the release latch on my back tire than with the trailer. If you're wanting to keep switching it between multiple bikes, I would probably purchase a 2nd coupler, for faster switching.
