Nancy ok as the new mom to your dh's child I think you should stick to the 'no gifts this year' agreed upon policy AND I think dh should get you something anyway!!
As it should be!! Would never happen around here though. And just as well - I bought a new vacuum recently and dh commented that I got a good deal - much cheaper than what he was looking at for me for Christmas last year. :roll: A vacuum? for Christmas? So sorry you didn't find one! HAA!
Hannah household chores... nothing set anywhere. I do most of the cleaning. Dh puts laundry in the washer and dryer often and I fold and put away. He does dishes and kitchen most nights. Will vacuum if I ask. No 'trades' or 'barters' though :wink:. If anything I'll say something like "do you want to change this diaper or fold the towels?" He'll usually go for diaper but sometimes gives me a 'neither'.
As for tv. Don't put anything on for K&H. Never have tv on for us when the older girls are awake - unless it's food network but even that is rare. They do watch Dora many days and there have been days I've let them watch an hour in our bed while I napped (zoboomafoo, caillou). Sometimes in the late afternoon I'll put on Clifford if it's on and they are looking like they are about to fall asleep and I'm feeding. It keeps them awake till I'm done with K&H and then I can work to keep them up. But, as you've seen - they can drop on a moments notice too.
Erin What a cute Octopus!!!
Naomi Riley looks so cute as a butterfly!!
Love ALL the halloween pics. Gee and I didn't get anything for K&H this year. Was going to buy them some cute pumpkin outfits at Children's Place but dh looked at me crazy when I told him of the price. Oh well...
Ankie we have the same rocking chairs and today Kaia was leaning so far forward she had her head stuck on the front side of the bar that goes overtop and holds the toys!! HA!!
Jo hey don't just lurk girl - post away, vent, moan, that's what we're here for!
Haley LOVE that pic!! That box sure comes in handy. I had dh look at it... he doesn't know much of this site other than it's on the computer a lot. Anyway, he says "what is there something wrong with that? maybe it's a doll in the box. no?" "oh! what's it say on the box?" what a guy. I love it!! :wink:
I better stop here and scoot. Sarah fell alseep on me twice today at 5.30pm Got her up once and carried her with me to put Hannah to bed but she walked away and went BACK to sleep so I put her to bed hoping she'd stay there the night. Well she got up at about 7.30pm. GREAT time of day for a 2 hour nap eh?? So now it's 10.15pm and she's plyaing beside me - think I'll take her to my bed and snuggle with her.
Oh yeah - on taking your kids to your bed. I've given up trying to avoid that... but I tell ya if anything is motivating to NOT do it - it's being slammed in the head with another head multiple times. OR having your preschool so close to you that everytime she rolls/moves she puts an elbow down on your overused nursing nipples. :shock: :shock: I just don't have the energy to argue with them in the night anymore. Good thing we have a king size bed.
