I am going to a work event with my husband on Tuesday. Seasons 52 which appears to be a chain. Anyone been? Is it good? It should be nice to escape the girls for a few hours.
It is a chain but they have local food that's in season and changes weekly, hence the name. It all falls apart at dessert though, there's nothing healthy there. I've been pleasantly surprised each time I've gone and have noticed the menu really does change and reflects what the area's food is.

Parents head home today and very much looking forward to getting M back on his schedule and back to work tomorrow. Hit the gym this morning so he got to go to "gym school", now heading to brunch. Plan to put up our xmas stuff while M naps. After nap planning on heading to our towns xmas tree lighting.
Ds asked to watch "the train Christmas movie" (polar express) so we are watching that.
DH thinks we have fleas in the house so is vacuuming like crazy. I...don't know. We don't have pets. I'm not sure where they would come from?? He does have random bites on his legs but I'm pretty convinced they are from mountain biking the other day. I am super allergic/get super itchy from flea bites and don't have any sooooooo.

Night #1 in the crib was a pretty miserable failure but I think we should keep trying. But that may mean me doing all the wake ups? IDK, DW needs to realize losing some sleep isn't the end of the world.
However, the terrible night of sleep means DD is taking a 2.5 hour nap. Not sure what we're going to do today. I'm in the mood to go shopping.
DH feels so bad about DS being sick. His irrational guilt worked in my favor. DH got up to do DS's MOTN nebulizer treatment. DS didn't wake up so I didn't even have to get up to nurse him back to sleep!
I just need to say how incredibly lucky I am to have a mom who I love and trust who lives close by. I don't know how you ladies without family close by, or family you're not close to, do it all on your own.
This morning, shortly after my Sunday morning win post above, I got a migraine. It's the first time I've gotten one while alone with the kids (thank goodness), and my vision goes blurry for approximately 30-45 minutes when I get them. C finished Toy Story while I laid on the couch with him until the blurry vision thing passed. Once SS woke up I called my mom and asked if she'd mind watching the boys so I could lay down alone in the dark. She said it wasn't a problem, so I brought them there (3 miles away) and she even made breakfast for me before I left them. Now I'm home alone in bed to nap for a while before H picks the boys up on his way home from work. I hope I can grow up to be half the mom she is someday.

We had a long night with dd. After feeding her at 4am and putting her down around 415am or so I went back to sleep. I must have forgot to turn the monitor back on. I woke up at 530am to the faint sound of her crying hysterically. Her room is pretty far away from ours. I felt awful, J have no idea how long she was screaming for. I mean, I know she wasn't hungry, just needed help falling asleep. So I just bedshared until 8am to lessen my guilt.

The baby slept for 12 hours last night. Should I be concerned or dancing in the street that my kid slept straight through the night? Should we be waking him up to eat? I am trying to be excited for this, all I am is worried. I just want to make sure I am not hurting my kid before I can brag all over this.
DH got up with the baby this morning and let me sleep. I closed my eyes and a minute later it was 10. Thanks DH! Woah.

We're going to try to get our Christmas tree today. Except we can't find a place that's selling them yet. This will likely involve just getting the car and driving around aimlessly.
Ds seemed to be in a better mood and then he spilled my water bottle all over my diaper bag then freaked the fuck out for 15 mins until we put him in the car and turned on the iPad.
I remember now why I didn't want to do Christmas photos. My toddler is so difficult!! Wouldn't sit down. Wouldn't smile wouldn't do anything but what she wasn't supposed to be doing!!!
I really want to do holiday pics with our photographer who is doing a winter mini session next Saturday, but I also did mini sessions with her in July and October. Seems like a lot of pics. But J is such a ham for the camera and I love great pics of him. I'm so torn. I keep telling myself we'll just do birthday pics in January and it won't even be snowy this weekend, but it doesn't help.

Twins! S ran around, cried, looked the other way...
Omg. The bribes I tried. It was hilarious. And sad. And another family was watching.

DS and I ran to Target yesterday for lights. They had a coupon for $50 off $100 holiday shop items... so we came home with a dinosaur for our front yard lol.
Also, this conversation happened: DD: I don't want a boyfriend. I just want a husband and kids. DS: You have to start with a boyfriend. You can't just marry someone you barely know. DD: But you have to kiss boyfriends. So gross! DS: It's gets even grosser if you want to have kids.

Is that coupon good for today too? I thought it was just yesterday. DH wants more lights so maybe if I can stack that with the sale in their ad that would be good.

DS is two months old today (crazy!) and I just keep thinking how our family feels so complete with him here. I was nursing him this morning and he kept popping off to smile and coo at me - what a sweetheart.
I feel the same way about DD. I'm so glad we had another baby, I can't imagine our family without her. We hung our 4 new PBK stockings yesterday, DS helped. After we were done, he stood back and "read" everyone's names off the stockings and said "one for everybody!" It was such a wonderful feeling to know our family is complete. And to have us all together at Christmas. I'm so excited!

In a wonderful 180 from yesterday, dd has been a total delight today. I guess yesterday was just an off day and not an indicator of a new normal? I hope?
I am at the point where I have almost given up on parenting. I am 38+ weeks pregnant, it is cold out and it has been raining for four days. I think Ds is on hour 4 of tv today? Meh. He was up early this morning and it is making him happy and there's no fighting at the moment.
Im exhausted and can't decide if I want the baby to come ASAP or if I want him to take his time and stay in another two weeks.
