Today was so nice out we spent so much time outside it was great. This week is my spring break so I'm meeting other coworkers with little ones at the zoo tomorrow. Should be fun.
So I have looked everywhere for a dress that I love for DD to wear on Easter. Found one on ebay that I was in LOVE with. Used that program Tamb told me about and set my high bid for 4x what she started the auction at. I wanted that dress. She took the auction down last night and someone already PMd her and offered (no clue how much) so they're getting the dress. NOOO!
Back to the Easter drawing board I go. I don't love anything that's out at Gap, Carters, Gymboree, etc. right now. :-(
DD1 turned 3 today. We did a fairly low key morning and let her play with her presents from us. The doctor's coat was the surprise hit.
We did a low key birthday party at a kids art studio with a craft and cupcakes. She had an absolute blast, but was completely beat when she got home. Birthdays are so much more fun the older she gets.
We picked up a gift that a group of people bought J from BRU. I don't think they looked closely at what they got him. We opened it up and it's two step 2 slides. They're identical. They're also a pita to get in the car. Im not returning them, we'll just have two slides...
We set up the water table today on the front lawn and it was a HIt!
Ugh only a car nap today meant bedtime was a shitshow. I had to just put her down in the crib and rub her back while she cried. She kept falling asleep on me and freak when I put her down.
I need to get on the computer and finish up E's invites so I can print them.
My baby is so sick and I'm a mess of worry. She has a fever of 103 and has nasty chest congestion. The pedi said just a virus, but I'm so distraught seeing my normally happy girl just a lethargic lump. I haven't really slept more than 1.5 hrs consecutively since Thursday, but now I'm contemplating setting up shop in the nursery recliner so I can keep a closer eye. H thinks I'm crazy and I think he's being too breezy.
Dinners done and sitting on the stove. I ought to tell DH and DD to come inside but I'm just going to sit here until they come in on their own instead. Ahhhhh!
DS is teething. In the last 10 days, both bottom middle teeth broke through and he has two upper fangs. His upper middle teeth are no where in sight yet. He's pretty miserable. I gave him ibuprofen before bed so hopefully he'll get some sleep.
Dd is so full of energy. Just put her to bed but she is playing with her doll and talking to herself so we'll see...
I think I'm going to end up having to cook easter dinner. We invited both sets of grandparents but didn't hear back from the il's until today and now I can't find a place for brunch that isn't booked. Any ideas for an easter menu?

DD1 threw up yesterday morning from 4am-6am. Other then being tired yesterday was fine the rest of the day. Today I had both kids go to swim lessons. They both took a nap immediately when we got home at 10:45 and slept for just shy of 4 hours and woke up with 102 fevers. Made me feel like crap for having them swim. they've had fevers all day.
I'm not going to lie though I'm bummed that DD1 is too sick for preschool tomorrow because I had a ton I needed to do during those 2.5 hours. And now she probably can't go to ballet tomorrow night either.
I am branching out from my usual Chipotle order and getting barbacoa. I hope this was a good choice.
What's your usual order? I normally get carnitas but the shortage of humanely raised carnitas (I think that's the issue) has my local chipotle out of it. I looooove Chipotle!
I think I'm having cereal for dinner. DH put frozen lasagna (my mom made for us) in the oven but my stomach isn't feeling great.

I'm losing my fucking mind. Both kids having been waking up 6+ times per night.
DS2 started out as a good sleeper. I got my hopes up that I wouldn't have another horrible sleeper but for the past month his sleep has gone to hell. Each week has been significantly worse than the last. I want to cry. Dealing with both at once is awful. I feel like it must be something I'm doing wrong.

Hugs, I'm sorry. I have just one awful sleeper and I can't imagine there being two.
I told my students if they wanted feedback on an assignment before turning it in they need to email it to me by tomorrow night. So far 0 of them have taken me up on it. 12/30 have a grade of C- or lower at the moment.
I caved to the MMM peer pressure and am shaving my legs before my RCS tomorrow. I'm still not doing my lady bits though. They're so far under my belly I can't reach at all. Then a nice long hot shower and bed. Less than 12 hours until baby!!!

M wanted to stay outside all day today. We went for a walk and played outside three times, each time we went inside (to eat or nap) he threw a huge tantrum. I guess we'll be spending a lot of time outside this summer....

I must have missed this because I would have said screw it;)
We had crab bisque for dinner that I picked up from a local soup/sandwich/salad place. SO good. And our favorite Costco kale salad - easy peasy dinner. DD had leftover sloppy joes after turning her nose up at the soup. More for me!
DD pooped on the potty for the first time! She wanted to sit on the potty so DH had her try to push out a fart so she'd get the idea and maybe pee. Well she kept farting and finally pooped. She was so proud of herself. It was really cute.
I bought 3 bathing suits for DD today. And found the Easter dress I was eyeing up at Target - this was my third attempt to find her size. And her Easter basket stuff is complete. I feel accomplished.
How did people know if social acquaintances were totally nuts in the days before social media? I am kind of appalled by what some of the people I only know vaguely from our neighborhood/DD's school post on their Facebook pages.
