L continued to be grumpy most of the day which is so unlike him. I really hope I can blame this on the canines and that they finally show up soon. It was another 6:00 bedtime over here. Poor guy is just off.
Carollers came to our door while we were eating dinner. I opened the door and there were about a dozen kids and adults on my door step singing to me. I pulled L's high chair over so he could see and he burst into tears. He was not amused!
Both kids cried it out a bit tonight. Only one check in for P and two for E. It's the second night in a row that he has gone down not asleep. I don't even know what to do with myself.
So that headache and fever I had yesterday was diagnosed as a sinus thing which I didn't think would be contagious. Well dh woke up with it and dd1 now says her head hurts and she has a fever. Dh worked all day and the kids were miserable. I'm not feeling great yet either. Is it monday yet?
I have a question for those pregnants who would drink a small amount of alcohol. I bought little wine spritzers that are just 4% and the bottle is about the size of a small beer bottle (330 ml / 11 oz). Would you drink a whole one or just part? Blah blah no amount is safe blah blah.
Our living room, which never gets used, is the nicest room in our house. It's where we put the Christmas tree this year so I'm basically camped out here until January 2.
I don't have a recent address book. The last update was our wedding five years ago. I only addressed about half the Christmas cards I wanted to. Womp womp.
There is $1,000 worth of car seats in DD's bedroom right now! We're doing the "car seat shuffle" (as DH calls it) so I'm getting everything out of their boxes and prepped for installation. Clockwise from the crib: DD's KeyFit30 that she's outgrown, her new NextFit for my car, DS's new Britax Frontier CT for DH's truck, and DD's new Britax Advocate CT for DH's truck.

I would probably drink half. But I wouldn't judge you for the entire thing. My limit is half of a low strength and a quarter of a good strong beer.
I can't wait for the kids to go to bed so we can cook cashew chicken for grown up dinner!
Day 1 of "put baby down sleepy but awake" hasn't been easy. It took two tries for naps 1 & 3 abd three tries for nap 2. He normally takes a short 4th nap but hasn't today.
My H's friends built a house last year that we heard about nonstop. It was wildly expensive due to builder, neighborhood, and upgrades. How do we know? They told us. A lot. Anyways, we were over there this afternoon and my H noticed that the wood trim at the bottom of their kitchen cabinets is coming off.

We just went just went a bday party for the first time (2 yr old) It was so fun. It was at My Gym and DS loved it. There were about 15 families there and only 2 from daycare (that's how we know them.). We could never fill a guest list unless we invited the whole daycare class! How do people know 15 families with kids the same age as their kids!? I'm sooooo jealous!

As much as I'm against forcing a terrified toddler to sit on Santa's lap, I am a tad disappointed that we won't be getting a Santa photo this year. We've encountered him twice so far and L is just terrified of him. There is no way he will willingly get close enough to him for a picture.

We are getting Thai takeout for dinner and I'm pumped! DS will be up late again tonight but he's been taking such long naps. I hope I can get him to watch Frosty or something tonight but my money is on Olaf.
Then I need to make 4 dozen red velvet cookies tonight. I sure hope I have the right ingredients. :/

I met another woman/mom this week who I think I'd like to be friends with. We just moved to this town in September and we really don't have any local friends. I chatted with her for a long time yesterday and we really hit it off and then I ran into her again today. What do I do next? Makings friends is hard!

I literally have one gift left to wrap and one left to buy. I hardly even recognize myself. Of course my over-preparedness means this baby will not make an appearance until after the new year, I'm sure.
My parents arrived tonight. DS loved my dad, but cried for my mom, which is strange because he's hardly ever been around my dad, but my mom stayed with us for a month after he was born and was just here last month for a week. Hopefully he'll warm back up to her quickly because I feel bad. She was so excited to see him.
