Owen's class learned about idioms this week. His assignment was to pick an idiom and illustrate both the literal and figurative interpretation of the phrase.
His choice of idiom? "Cut the cheese."
One drawing was of a man holding a knife, getting ready to slice into a block of cheese.
The other was a picture of a man with a black cloud coming out of his butt and a word balloon that said, "I farted."
SD is either getting a tooth pulled or more fillings in a couple of hours (I should have paid more attention when dh was talking). She decided she wants me to go with her. I don't really know what to expect. I made plans to get the boys out of the house for the day in case she feels badly after and wants to say home. I wish I could remember what happened when she got this done when she was 3...
Today we are having a beer day! We are touring a local brewery then going to my favorite brewery/pub for lunch. It is DH's valentine's day present, so he's the one with license to get tipsy while I drive, but I am still super excited!!
ETA: this pub does a drink called the Farmer's Daughter which is their brown ale mixed with their own cask brewed ginger ale and it is fucking delicious.
My DH (who is obsessed with craft beer) wants to know which brewery you are going to. He's nosey
I scheduled my keratin treatment for April! The price went up...it's $375 now. Hope it's worth it
I need to go buy a suit today for when I'm in Chicago...there is no chance of me getting back into my size 4 jacket and 6 pants from pre preg. Where shall I go? My other suits are Ann Taylor and Talbots. Guess I will start there.
This morning I was telling one of the NICU nurses that I was excited to go home and go to bed. She asked me if I was back to work tonight. I told her no, but that Mr. Vals was working and that I would have to make dinner and do baths and bed for all 4 boys by myself. She said, "Yikes! You need to come to work."

Liv had to get a few teeth pulled last year. She was very loopy the rest of the day. It was kinda funny. Fillings are nbd. Both liv and em have lots of them. Hope it goes well!
I had crazy zombie dreams last night. Probably due to starting the new season of TWD. We were traveling in our own pack. @maryannespier, @Cfreymc, DH's and lo's were part of our clan. George, Giles, and Si were bff's. It was super cute! :x Aside from the zombies and stuff....
I woke up to my first PP period, go me! My tummy has been ADR for 3 days, and I thought I had some kind of stomach bug, but it was probably just my period. DH said when I told him, I better look into that vasectomy. Even though I know we are two and through, there is a teeny tiny part of me that wants a third baby. While reading Bernstein Bears with DD, I see Brother and Sister Bear have a baby sister named Honey now, I never remembered this, so now I am bugging DH all the time about maybe we should have a Honey too.
@andrea0418 that's good to hear! Cami is a bear when she is sick. When she had her tonsils out it was brutal. I figure she either feels good enough to come to my dads with me for the day or Rob can stay home and take care of her.
@kjkarats03 no, but I've heard the restaurant is delicious.
It's pretty good...nice for a "casual" special occasion. My favorite was last year's Mother's Day brunch. Crabcakes benedict, poached salmon, macarons, house breads and pastries, petit fours, prime rib, yummy drinks, salads, frittata, and the list goes on...
ETA: they do wine dinners too, not just beer dinners.

SD has been asking for about a month now to get her ears pierced. We are going today. She can be a little dramatic. Hope she doesn't freak out and leave with only one ear pierced.
Ss is pissed that we're going to farmers markets today because it means he'll miss his favourite tv show. Sorry dude. I'm not planning my day around Pokemon.
This reminds me of my friend who is one of those ridiculously lucky women that goes right back to their size 2 shape within a week or so of giving birth. She always tells people " it's because I am too busy chasing the kids to eat! " No. Just no.
I have a friend like that. How do you forget to eat? I mean eat least eat a little bacon for protein. I got this microwave bacon cooking plate from the dollar store, and I have been using it way to much lately. Must stock up on bacon and coffee. Also cooking bacon in a microwave increases it's cancer causing properties, al least according to my Dad (the one who believes in Sasquatch)
The important question while organizing clothes: Do I keep the things that still don't fit right, or do I get rid of them?
Hmm
I have been holding onto mine in hopes that I will one day be that tiny again. May be a pipe dream, though.
I did a purge after we moved. The clothes I can't fit into depress me, personally. If you want to err on the side of caution then fold them & put them aside.

I held on to mine from before DD and the twins. I might weigh less than I did before kids, but everything's redistributed so I'm finally getting rid of the old clothes. Took me a long time to accept it though.
My birthday present from DH and his family is money and babysitting for a solo pampering and shopping spree day to redo my wardrobe.

Not excited to try on clothes.
I'm looking at him sitting on the floor and his little belly is hanging ever so slightly over his diaper. Cutest thing ever :x
Fillings are nbd. Both liv and em have lots of them.

Cancer is only for the people that can afford bacon.
