Saturday long weekend randoms

[joyhart02]

So I am up since 4:40 this morning because C was ready to start her holiday weekend. So she is eating cheez it's, watching bubble guppies on you tube for the first time and some Jesse cat show on hulu on the tv. I at least accomplished washing the dishes already. 

Now somehow to trick her to leave me alone for 20 minutes to get my exercise done.

E woke the whole house up at 5:50, so we are up too. We have set aside this weekend for potty training C, and she's so excited. I'm hoping this is the consistency she needs to grasp the concept because flopping between pull ups, undies and diapers wasn't doing her any good.

Every day this week I've been up at 3:45. Even today, the first day of vacation. Tonight we are going to see Jimmy Buffett basically in my backyard (I thought it was very nice of him to have the Labor Day Weekend Show so close for my birthday). I'm sure I will have a chocolate margarita.

I have to pack tomorrow and then the beach.

It's not even 7am and there has already been a time out this morning. It's going to be a loooooooon weekend. Nap time yet?

I really want to take the girls to the beach for a little while this morning, but I feel like I have a gazillion other things to do so I'm not sure it's the smart thing to do. I kind of slacked on getting the girls ready for school, and they still need new sneakers, book bags, and some other things. But we all know how shopping goes when you have kids with you...lol!

Shopping vs. beach, shopping vs. beach? What to do?

A has been up since 6:30 crying for this show on Netflix called Animal Mechanicals. He actually found the Kindle and put it on himself. It's kind of scary how well he can work the Kindle. We had to put the Amazon store on lockdown because he was renting movies.
I have no idea what we are doing today, or the whole weekend for that matter. MH is in crunch time with the restaurant about to open so we won't be seeing much of him.

Shopping at the beach!

I have some shopping to do myself and about an hour to kill between dropping the dog at the kennel and picking H up from work. Oh darn H, we decided to hit the outlets while we waited for you.

Beach today and shopping tomorrow/ Monday while everyone else is at the beach (hot)

DH took a "staycation" this last week, and that plus H having no camp I pretty much have no idea what day it is, lol. We have been able to do a lot of fun things during the week, though, so we may lay low and do house stuff this weekend (which is also student move in weekend. AKA Hell in Boston)

I went to a movie with friends last night - If I Stay. Pretty much as I expected. But I enjoyed my Mike and Ike's!

It was my day to get up with E - everyone else is still asleep. I'm phoning it in and have the TV on.

Henry has finally discovered Minecraft...last of his friends. It's been about 3 days and I'm already so sick of hearing about it.

[helicase]

We are going to a wedding this evening. It will be the first time I'm leaving the baby for an extended period. The venue is only 20 min away, so I don't think it will be a long night. I'm excited to dress up and spend some time with my husband and friends sans kids.

[EmmieB1025]

We are at my parents' house for the long weekend. E slept the majority of the way here so he was ready to play when we got here last night. Bedtime was a utter disaster and he was up crying until 1am. He got up this morning at 6 am. I am already exhausted and today will be a constant parade of family members coming to visit. I love my family and I'm so blessed to have such a close-knit, amazing family, but I wish we could just go to the lake or pool and chill this weekend.

[joyhart02]

She has watched Monster 500 million times now, and it is still like the first time she watched it

Oh man, talk about chaos. I will never forget my move in, an hour to get off the pike in Brighton, my dad constantly circling cause there was no parking and literally Comm Ave was a zoo. But it was a really fun night after that!

[imimahoney]

Tonight Dh and Ari are going to the inlaws. I'm going to my friends for a girls night and then sleeping at home and in tomorrow! Dh is going to a golf tourni with his dad and BIL and mil will watch Ari. I'll have the entire day free, not sure what I'll do!

[musiclover]

Not sure of our exact plan for the day yet. N really needs a haircut, like badly. We need to get some back to school clothing for A, and it seems that N needs new shoes already. I wanted to go to the local beach once more since the kids love playing in the sand, but it's probably too cold? We also need to food shop. Meh.

Tomorrow I think we are meeting up with SIL and her family for a small hike at a local mountain, plus kids activities. They want to take A for a sleepover (their son in just 6 weeks older than A). I have some reservations about it, sigh, but he'll have fun.

[puppylove64]

I was convinced I was in labor yesterday and was freaking out because I'm not ready. I guess I should nest today.

L and I are watching Tangled right now. It is such a cute movie!!!

[jfh]

Kai and I got to the beach on Thursday with my mom and her husband, and DH met us last night. This is our second trip to the beach this year and the second where we've had bad colds! Ugh. I'm feeling better today but K was kind of a mess last night and DH is pretty bad off. Fun fun fun.

We're at the beach where I used to go every year with my grandparents. Lots of good memories. I'm so excited to share it with my own kid!

Oh my goodness! Have fun. I saw jimmy in college and the atmosphere was so awesome. It is hard to describe, it was unique, just how giddy everyone was. I drank too much and don't remember much about the actual concert, I regret that.

There's poop currently in my mailbox.

Yes, we need the scoop on this poop.

[spaghetticat]

Ch @ the scoop on the poop.

S's doctor said they would test her poop for blood. They gave us a container. Mh took the filled container to the lab where the bitchy lady yelled at him and said it was the wrong container. She gave him a new container and an envelope to mail it in. So it's currently waiting to be shipped out.

I had no clue people mailed poop.

Oh good! I thought maybe someone put poop in your mailbox

I got to hold nannerl's Henry last night! He is soooo beautiful and perfect.

We've got my friend's little boy with us for the day, so H and I will be wrangling two 2.5 year olds. Trying to think if something fun to do with them both this morning. Zoo, maybe?

[formerlyllizzyb]

I'm getting a pedicure this morning with a friend after H gets back. I may stay gone until it's time for him to leave for his football game this afternoon Then I'm taking G and going Labor Day sale shopping. I have a woman buying my ring sling, so I'm going to a local store that has their Sakura Blooms 10% off today and getting a girly color!

H is on call Monday, so we'll just stay around here and do house stuff.

Matt and Annabella are still sleeping, so I thinking about taking Carter to the farmer's market by myself before the rain comes. It's supposed to be pretty rainy today and tomorrow here, so we don't really have a lot of plans, except that I have to run a lot.

[silverjm]

I'm bummed it's raining. I really wanted to walk down to the farmers market this morning. Instead I now have blueberry muffins in the oven and we're playing with play doh.

[bigapple]

I'm in a beach rental with one of my best friends, my husband's best friend and his girlfriend, C, and my husband. It's 9:30, and I'm the only one awake. C'mon people!

I think I'm going to grab a book and a coffee and go plop myself on the beach in peace. It would be far more glorious if it weren't 60 degrees and windy out there.

[unclejesse]

I am envious of you guys who are having a relaxing day at home! FIL just woke up and made a comment that he was disappointed I didn't have A out at the park or pool yet. Dude, I have him out everyday! Let me stay home for a bit and get some chores done!

[TrudyCampbell]

I am being such a bitch today. I do not want to spend the weekend at my ILs.
