We went to breakfast and Target, Babies R Us, and Lowe's. Came home and had lunch, my cousin stopped by to drop off DD's Christmas gift and a little lovey for the baby, then H and DD played outside in the snow and I stalked them through the widows even though I wanted to nap. Just put DD to bed almost an hour ago, and now I'm watching Property Brothers with H.

We had a kid's birthday party midday which broke up the day nicely.
I made the most ridiculous breakfast for dinner. Bacon, scrambled eggs with heavy cream and cheddar cooked in the bacon grease, and fried potatoes. It was so good. It was worth it.
Three loads of laundry. Showered and dressed. Half hour walk. Shoveled the driveway and cleaned both cars two times. Made hot cocoa. Emptied and reloaded the dishwasher twice. Made french toast for the kids for breakfast. Made Mac and cheese, sausage, broccoli for the kids' lunch. Deseeded a pomegranate for a snack for my girls. Read sixty-four pages in Patrick Suskind's book, Perfume. Read the cartoons in the current New Yorker issue. Visited my local library and checked out too many books. Watched some of an Indiana Jones movie. Ate a little too much food.
Body Pump Long nap while H and boys were at Costco Finished Insecure Played with the puppy Groceries Made fajitas Watch rest of Harry Potter with boys Wine
It "snowed" here so we didn't bother trying to go anywhere. The boys played together 90% nicely all day. I read my book and did some laundry. I cooked two actual full meals today which is basically unheard of. Now DH is watching the Seahawks and I'm drinking wine and messing around on the iPad. I'm considering throwing some cookie dough in the oven.

What'd you think of Insecure??
I loved it. I thought it was really smart and funny as hell. There wasn't a character that I didn't love.
The last episode was really hard to watch because it is hard to watch characters you like have to live with the consequences of their choices.
Got up and made breakfast then laid back down because I had a migraine. Fil came over so I went to work for a few hours. Came home to find out dh never fed the kids because I texted him not to. I did not, I answered no to his text asking if I wanted him to take anything out for dinner. Ugh! Played with the kids and now I'm watching football while the kids and dh are in our bedroom watching a movie.
His, where did you end up eating? ( where did you try to eat first? My grandma and aunt take us to the same place every time we visit

Nothing exciting. Went to the farmers market with my younger son, then took him to the mall for a little bit. I bought way too much at Bath and Body Works' sale and then I let my son splash in puddles. He took a long nap, so I spiralized a bunch of sweet potatoes for dinner, played with my older son, went grocery shopping, put both kids to bed, and cooked dinner.
DS woke me up just before 9, so I got up and made him breakfast. We played a bit. DH got up soon after. I started some meal prep for the week and DH went to get child-proofing things for our kitchen. When he got home, I went to the spice shop to restock our spices and grabbed lunch. We took DS for a haircut (traumatic!) and then came home and relaxed. DS is in bed and I've made gingerbread dough for cookies, which I never got around to making over the holidays. I am letting that chill and making this saltine/caramel/chocolate thing that MIL loves because we are celebrating her birthday tomorrow. Pretty low-key Saturday.

Shoveled snow while the kids "went sledding" in the front yard. New sleds from Santa + like 3 inches of snow, so cute. Took the girls to the library and read a magazine while they played. Took a naptried a new popcorn seasoning recipe. Sent the kids back outside to play in the snow while I did the dishes and started dinner. Played memory with my 3yo who is really good at it and watched the 6yo dance. Sorted out our shoe closet while the 6yo cleaned the kids bathroom vanity and the 3yo swept the kitchen floor. A couple loads of laundry in there somewhere.
Taking the week off last week makes me feel like I know how to have a good mix of fun and getting things done now. It was a good day.
In the morning we went to Home Depot for their monthly kids' craft, then we had lunch at Whole Foods and then went to LEGOLAND. When we got home DD and DH went to play in the snow and I made matzoh ball soup.

Woke up at the crack of dawn to drive 2 hours to my son's gymnastics meet. Watched him work his butt off and come home with a neck full of medals.
Then we dropped all 3 girls off at a friend's house and had some one on one time with DS. He whooped us soundly in a game of Monopoly and then we took him out to dinner.
It was a good day after a particularly shitty week.

I binged watched the whole thing over the Christmas break and already knew what was going to happen and I was still shocked! Can't wait for season 2!
I love that show. It was so well done. I'm disappointed it was only 8 episodes. Hopefully next season will be longer. I know it's not likely, but I hope Issa Rae wins a Golden Globe tomorrow.

H went to work.
I got A and L up early to go pick up a snow suit for H from a FB person. It was an hour drive out there, but I managed to prep well, so it went well. Then we drove another hour and a half in a slightly different direction to Julian. I let the kids have a milkshake for breakfast. Then we went to a gold mine and panning for gold. Then came home. We had a good day.

I've been feeling crummy all day so I did nothing except knot, lounge around, and make dinner. H ran to the grocery store for a few things and then he watched football while I watched Netflix. I'm waiting for Nyquil to kick in and go to bed. I wanted to play some board games but just felt too gross for company.

Ohh I don't pay attention to these sort of things. I would love it if Issa won.
