DH and I are headed to Vegas mid October for our 7th wedding anniversary. We're going to see Evanescence in concert and stay the weekend. I think this will be our first trip without Ethan since he was born. Lol!
Fun!!!
DH decided he wants to go to vegas for our 5 year anniversary (in 2 years) since we'll have money again (he's back in school). He says I can get pregnant again once we're there
Well apparently cam puked in my husband's mouth somehow... Not sure how that happened as I was sick in bed. Why you would have a sick baby close to your mouth I will never know?!
So were are in a quandary. We found two potential house plans that we love, Plan A and Plan B. Plan A is in Neighbourhood A and then Plan B in Neighborhood B. The problem is that we love Plan B more than A but Neighborhood A over B. We can't build Plan B in Neighborhood A, which would have solved everything so now we don't know which direction to go.

You can always change the house...you can't change the neighborhood.

We've made all the modifications we would want to it but there are certain aspects we can't change. No doubt that we would enjoy the house and make it a home but comparing the floor plans with the modifications we would do each of them, just hard to get past the house we love.
You are right though! Being in the neighborhood we absolutely want to be part of is super important.
Edit to add that the reason Neighborhood B falls short is because it's a lot smaller and the lot sizes offered are smaller compared to Neighborhood A. Houses are closer together. Neighborhood A is laid out nice and neatly. Both have a park for kiddos, which is nice, and the neighborhoods are literally next to each other (so taking Damien to visit friends he might have in the other neighborhood.
Is it tacky to take your 4 yr olds to the Grand opening of a sporting goods store for their birthday? This would not be their actual cake and ice cream party but their fun outing with us. In my defense it looks really awesome!
Ok it posted the wrong link but there are 2 large aquariums a ferris wheel and several Lanes of kid bowling.

Do it! Birthdays should be simple and what the kids will enjoy

Go with the area you want. I would love to go back to our old amazing neighborhood if I could. A great neighborhood can be an amazing thing.
Is it just me or is this extremely controlled drawing for someone not even 4 yet? I looked over and was shocked. In all fairness I don't interact with many kids so maybe this is normal.

That's awesome! That's about how my newly 6 year old would color. Granted, he's not a big artist, but still. My three year old only focuses enough to stay in the lines every so often, mostly its scribbles

I don't have a lot of experience with that age-range and art but that looks crazy good! Very impressive!!

My husband among many things is a graphic designer and photographer. Maybe she inherited some artistic talent, or patience from him. She is still working on it an hour later lol.
Ugh... I am so sick of this NFL/national anthem stand vs sit thing. It has taken over my fb feed. One side assumes it's about disrespect and doesn't bother to listen to anyone and the other side assumes everyone who can't support their decision is a racist pig with no other motivation.
I hate that fb gives everyone the feeling that they need to voice their opinion on every god damn thing. Who cares if you think they should be fired for kneeling. You would probably fast forward through the anthem if there weren't this controversy anyway!

Being on Facebook literally makes me feel as though we are a week away from a civil war. I can't handle all of this controversy.

Completely freakin' agreeeeeee!
they have a right to kneel just like others have a right to stand. If it really bothers people that much, change the channel!
we have far bigger problems in this world then football players kneeling. Major eye roll.

This! I'm not saying that what is being discussed isn't important but there's so much going on in this world that I feel like this is just a distraction from other major issues.
So it's official! We're going to book a 7 day Mediterranean cruise with my BFF and her family!!! I'm so excited. We're leaving from Barcelona on a brand new Royal Caribbean ship and going to Palma de Mallorca, Marseille, Pisa, Rome, and Naples. It's going to be our first real vacation in 12 years, our honeymoon, and last hurrah before we start TTC #2.

Having an emotional rollercoaster day. Preston is being super picky with food suddenly, won't eat anything but Cheerios or milk but he keeps asking for more food. If he does out it in his mouth, he spits it out and says "no" ugh such a mess.
The same time him and I were sitting watching Little Einsteins and with zero prompting from me, he's following the shows directions. "Pat with us" *he pays* "raise your arms and say blastoff" *arms go up*. Then to my amazement, he starts answering their questions!!! Tv- "Do you see the balloons?" Preston- "YEAH!" Tv-. "you do? Where are they?" Preston *points to tv* "DA" (his works for 'there')

So jealous. My child wont sit thru TV more than 2 minutes. Doesn't say any words. Sounds like you will have an intelligent child.

Damien only sits still to watch/listen to The Office theme song. Otherwise he has the attention span of a gnat when it comes to tv/movies. Every now and then he'll watch something for 15min but that's his max. He doesn't really interact either, if it's an animal documentary of some sort he'll point to the different animals and go "Ooooooh."
So yesterday we found out a friend went hiking and had an accident. He fell and now is on a machine that breathing for him and there is no brain activity.

Oh no. I will hope for the best for him and his family. I'm so sorry
By Thursday I am just zapped for energy. I really need to be more productive on thursdays and fridays, I have so much to do, but I can't seem to muster up the energy anymore. Anyone else drag at the end of the week? Man I wish I drank coffee
I posted awhile back about my friend who is struggling to conceive. I went with her to her first invitro fertilization appointment not to long ago and I'm so happy that she quietly let me know she is 6 weeks pregnant! It's obviously very early so she hasn't told anyone except her closest friends and family. My fingers are crossed for her and I hope this is it!

This morning my dog woke me up at 4:45 with a grumbling stomach, wanting out. I debated for awhile because if I let him down the stairs then Jackie wakes up, but his stomach growling was keeping me up... long story short, I'm right there with you. And I'm supposed to be out late at a dinner party.

That's still way more than my LO. He will sit through the theme song of Pocoyo and sometimes goes "Ehhhhyyy!" when the character name is said. But no interacting with it. Then again, my son has never pointed for anything. He reaches out.
Those with older kids, you know sometimes your kids say something at home and you hope they never repeat it when they're somewhere else?
Today we added to to that list "I love naked Germans." My 3 year old is wacko . Just try keeping a straight face while a three year old is dancing around you singing that over and over

My favorite one was my husband carrying 3yr old Victoria to bed and her saying "Daddy, you are good at picking up little girls." Yeah... Let's never repeat that!
Nothing like a Navy plane crash to make your heart break first thing in the morning. Waiting for them to release the name of the pilots and hoping it's not one of my friends or their husbands. This is the worst part of being a military wife, because even if it's not someone you know personally it hits a little too close to home.

That's terrible to hear! Being a military brat (Dad was in the Navy as well), I can understand that feeling and it's just awful no matter if you knew those affected or not. As you said, it still hits close to home. Thoughts and prayers!
