from the heart

Q was excited to tell me he got me some presents, "because of all the work i do for him." he couldn't wait for me to open them.

they were all items from his room, including: a hotwheels car, a perry the platypus tsum tsum, part of his telescope, and an alarm clock, all wrapped in tissues.

so stinking cute.

baby's first haircut (for real this time)

after weeks of considering it, caroline finally gave in and got her hair cut. i only had to promise her something from the dollar store.




they gave me a lock of her hair in a baby's first haircut envelope. hahaha.

hooky

we got a call from caroline's daycare this morning, saying she had a fever and was complaining of not feeling well.

daddy picked her up and she missed the rest of school. somehow she didn't have a fever by the time she got home.

and then we learned that her two best friends also went home sick today.

hmmmmmm....

the horror

when caroline is tired she is often irrational. hilariously irrational,

tonight she had a total meltdown because red lobster doesn't serve breakfast. she's never even been to red lobster.

play don't


they've been watching these stupid videos on youtube where adults open up various kids' toys and talk about them. play doh is a favorite topic on this one particular youtube channel for some unknown reason, so now both kids are super into play doh.

i loved play doh as a kid but holy cow do i dislike it now. it is everywhere. squishy little fluorescent pebbles smushed in my carpets, on my couch, just everywhere. 

i secretly hope they will forget to put it away, so it will dry out and i can toss it.

Q too



this kid had a great teacher conference too. he is a perfect gentleman in class and loves to participate. grades are great too.

hard to believe he was expelled from his daycare two years ago. clearly, he was not the true issue...
