The one bright spot today was watching the boys play on the cars that Jake & Amber got them for their birthdays (that I finally got around to assembling). J got so mad when D came over to check out the first car while I was working on assembling the other one. Ah, sibling jealousy.
Perfect timing on the cars though. J has figured out the rocking giraffe and really gets how to operate the cars. I think J says "rock" now as he's rocking.

I rushed back home to meet the plumbers. More bad news. The toilets are original to the house and only have a 1" opening. To pull it and attempt to auger it would be half way to a new toilet. I mentioned that I wished this had happened to the upstairs toilet with the leaky flapper that was responsible for the earlier continuous leak and the plumber mentioned a deal on two for $1,000 (or 1 for $800). Sold. Not what I wanted to spend that money on, but what are you gonna do?
After the plumber had finished, the contractors arrived to finish replacing the baseboard and now I can say we are done. And if anything else happens, we're just burning the house down and starting fresh.
The little boys are doing well. J took 2 steps today before realizing I wasn't holding onto him and then he plopped back down. Nanan replaced the batteries in the quacking/singing duck and J loved that! They also played some more on the cars that I put together yesterday. Their nap was interrupted by the work being done, but they were in pretty good spirits aside from a few whiny/clingy moments. I was ready to go to bed when they did though.

(11/29) Sigh. I didn't see the boys all day. I had a busy day at work and then I hit the gym to make up for sleeping through yesterday's class. The boys were with their dad all day, so at least they got one of us... but I miss them.

(11/30) Today was a work day for Dad & me. Dad's schedule has changed, so he goes in later and stays later, which means I don't see him at all on Fridays. We might have to arrange a lunch date to remedy that! The littles had a good day and we crammed in some playtime before bed. They're so fun!

(12/1) Today was not a very fun one for kiddos. C had pictures for hockey, followed by practice. Which meant about 3 hours of stroller time for the twins. I came armed with last night's dinner (homemade pizza), oranges, and of course Cheerios. We had snack/lunch while we were there and then I just walked them around in the stroller until they passed out. They only got a shortish nap though, so once we got home and had some proper playtime, I put them down again and they were out until 5pm. I woke them for dinner, bath, and more play time before putting them down for the night.

(12/2) Today was lovely. I slept in (til 8a!), had breakfast with the fam, and then Dad and C left for a play date at a friend's, and the little boys and I had the morning to bum around in our jammies. I didn't change out of mine until well after lunch when I ran out to coffee with Sarah. After I got back, C and I headed to his Skate-a-thon to raise money for next season's hockey fees. Once C was done going around in circles, we zipped over to pick out a tree to take to Granddad's. We stopped by the house to grab Dad and the twins, and off we went. We had such a nice time having dinner and decorating! My pictures were all very dark, so I'll have to mooch from the rest of the family. We came appropriately dressed for the holiday in Christmas bones.
D was so cute. Granddad gives them 'poppers' (kisses on the head) and D decided he liked that a lot and would lean in for more. Not to be outdone, J started making kissing noises too. Aww! ❤ my boys!

(12/3) Work day for me and then we have a dinner date with Oma & Opa as they're passing through to visit the California grand kids.
J & the bus.
Attack Mom!
