sunday afternoon AW

Thanks to the folks who helped with hair advice.  I think it turned out pretty good, kind of an off-center twist of curls/bun.  We clean up OK, I think my husband looks dead sexy in a tux.

We went to a wedding (nope, not Chelsea's).  Nice ceremony, good food at the cocktail hour, good band/dancing, but holyshit, dinner was late.  Entrees were served at 11:00 pm!  We can't hang like that anymore, especially with an early birdie baby.  We bailed right after dinner.

Of course as expected, MC was up at 6 am, ready to play.  In order to let my friend who babysat continue sleeping, we grabbed coffee from DD and hit the park.  And now we have a little swinger baby:

    Thanks!

    And yeah, if not for the heavy whorederbs and ice luge at the cocktail hour, they would have had a riot on their hands.

  • Look at her cute little legs kicking. I lub her. I also love videos of dads being silly with babies. Warms my cold heart right up.

  • You looked gorgeous!
  • You look great!  I'm impressed that you did that hairdo yourself.

  • Gorgeous!  I love the hair and love the dress.  Yeah, the problem with these babies is that even if you get a night off, you're still back on duty at the crack of dawn.

     And MC is a-freakin-dorable.

    I actually have the start of a business plan to address this.  "Snooze Button Babysitting Co"  aka babysitters for hangover mornings.  It would kinda be like zipcar.  There'd be an annual membership fee, then a per use hourly type fee.  You could call the night before (as late as say like midnight) to secure a morning babysitter.  They would come from say 5 or 6 am til 8 or 9 am and take care of the kids while you sleep in and sleep off your hangover.  Additional value added services would include delivery of bagels/donuts/coffee.

    How much per hour would you be willing to pay?  The going rate for normal babysitters round these parts is $15/hr for one kid.  I'm thinking I could charge at least $20, if not $25-30/hr, with breakfast another $20.

  • What an attractive family!

    Yeah, Ian seems not to care that F and I didn't get to sleep until 3AM.  He stayed with my parents, but has been high energy all afternoon.  At least he just let out a big yawn.

  • I like your idea, Lindsay.  babysitters around here go for about $10/hour, but I'd pay $20 for a few hours in the morning.  Weekend mornings I regret that I don't live down the street from my parents.  My mom is up at 4:30 every morning anyway, and would love some alone time with her grandson in the mornings before everyone else gets up.
  • you look awesome lindsay!!
  • Omigah lookit that big swinging girl!

    Linds, you look uhhhMAZEing.

    The hair grows in thick where the horn used to be.
  • Thanks ladies.  Felt good to get gussied up.

    And we are so excited about the discovery of the swings.  It's nice to have a destination on a walk and be able to get her out of the stroller.  Plus we met some other parents with early birdie babies which was nice.

  • Very nice!  You looked great.  I cannot imagine what I would have done if I had to wait until 11pm to eat dinner, but I bet it would have gotten me on the news.  You do not make a fat person wait to eat if you want to keep all your appendages.

    Mucho is adorable!  I love her little kicking legs.  Your youtube name made me do a double take though.  I was like, "Lindsay isn't old enough to call herself a cougar!"  And then I realized you probably were talking about Washington State and not about old ladies who like young boys.

    That's my AE (created before I outed my pregnancy for Bump positing purposes) and It's both.  After all my husband is younger than me.  RAWR!
