Got a lot done this weekend. None of it was writing. Trying to be OK with that.

1 year has flown by, it’s so strange to imagine life any differently now though. So much has changed for us all and honestly, I don’t know where time has gone, but I know I wouldn’t change anything.

I got some #writing done. Had a little #meTime. Now it’s time for #family. Planning on taking the #kiddos to a #playArea to meet a fake #blippi and I can’t wait to see how excited (or not) the #oldest gets. #parentLife

Thought I was done with #videogames but then #legendofzeldatotk came out. It’s too bad that by the time I actually get time to play, I’m too tired. I’ve fallen asleep while playing the last two times I’ve tried to play.

It baffles me how many wood chips get stuck in the lining of my 2.5-year-old's coat at daycare. Sure, the lining is fuzzy, but still...how? They're even coating his sleeves. My current working theory is that he puts his coat on inside out and just rolls in them.
Just picked off the latest crop. We'll see how long it takes him to refill.

5 and I have been home sick all this week. She is apparently not sick enough to want to just lay on the couch. We are on day 3 of her wanting to play board games all day. I love board games, but Mama really needs a nap. 😩
I do want to give a shout-out to #PeaceableKingdom for their Stories of the Three Coins. She's learning how to construct a story and improv. It's like basic training for #DND. 😄 Soon.

5, helping me put away her laundry: These socks don’t have matches. That’s okay, I just mix them up if I can’t find the right ones. *pairs a pink sock with a green one*
Me, who has been organizing things by color in rainbow order since I was 18 months old and NEVER mismatches socks: 😨 It’s fine it’s fine it’s fine…
tfw your kid doesn't want to leave school because they're hanging out with their friends and you don't want to upset that situation because it's a big deal that your kid is, you know, socializing, but you're their ride home and so you're stuck waiting it out in the school library (which isn't so bad, really).

I’m picking my parents up from the airport this evening and suddenly realized my car is a mess (as expected with 2 littles).
Moved the 2-year-old’s car seat and…well…apparently this is where goldfish go to die.
Had a suspicious mole removed yesterday so I have to keep it covered until it heals. My 5-year-old heard me say I was going to put a bandaid on it and she was SO excited.
Her: What kind?!
Me: Um...just a plain brown one.
Her: ...oh. That's...fine. I guess. But you could have a cool one if you wanted to.
So anyways, now I have a Minnie Mouse bandaid.
The 2 year old now only refers to Captain America as "Captain Murder-ka."

5: Hey, how many people do you run over?
Me: *driving* …what?
5: How many people do you run over with your car?
Me: None! We don’t run over people with cars!
5: Oh. Good.
It did not sound like she thought this was good.
There’s a Russian family that moved in across the street with a little boy about my son’s age. He only speaks Russian. My son only speaks English (as a 2.5-year-old so…not the clearest 😬). Somehow the two of them manage to play together fantastically despite not understanding each other’s language. No distrust or aversion, just joy and love. It is so beautiful to watch the two of them. Kids, man. They are the best of us.
2: *holding a fake firefighter megaphone* Detention! There is a fire!
Me: Did you start the fire?
2: No, I did not start the fire.
Hubby: Well, we didn’t start the fire.

2: *starts to put a large wooden bead that’s definitely a choking hazard in his mouth*
Me: Nono! Don’t do that!
2:*startled* It’s my birthday!!!!!
Me: …??? It’s not your birthday? And you don’t get to put beads in your mouth then either.
2: *petulantly* It’s my birthday.
5: Dragons love tacos. So I’m going to leave a taco on the porch and if it’s gone in the morning that means dragons are real.
Me: Other animals probably like tacos too, so it might be another animal eats it.
5: *skeptical look* No, I think it means dragons are real.
Hard to argue with that logic.
