WEBVTT 00:00:21.159 --> 00:00:24.140 And somehow, we're supposed to be raising tiny 00:00:24.140 --> 00:00:26.550 humans through it all. We're here to laugh at 00:00:26.550 --> 00:00:29.370 the chaos, cry when necessary, and remind you 00:00:29.370 --> 00:00:31.429 that none of us actually know what we're doing. 00:00:31.589 --> 00:00:34.609 This is No Manual, a momcast. Your mom friend 00:00:34.609 --> 00:00:37.350 group chat, but with microphones. Well, welcome 00:00:37.350 --> 00:00:40.009 back to No Manual. This week we're going to do 00:00:40.009 --> 00:00:43.390 something a little different. So just to give 00:00:43.390 --> 00:00:45.530 a full picture of motherhood, Laura and I had 00:00:45.530 --> 00:00:49.369 planned to record last night, and then she texted 00:00:49.369 --> 00:00:51.670 me on Tuesday and was like, hey, bedtime is... 00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:55.420 a bear this week so we kind of pivoted our plans 00:00:55.420 --> 00:00:57.780 we're like oh okay we're just gonna record virtually 00:00:57.780 --> 00:01:00.460 you stay at your house we'll record like however 00:01:00.460 --> 00:01:03.280 late we need to and then yesterday she texted 00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:08.019 me about 5 p .m and let me know that Cruz was 00:01:08.019 --> 00:01:12.420 throwing up all over everyone so tonight or I 00:01:12.420 --> 00:01:15.609 guess this week Stuart, my husband, is joining 00:01:15.609 --> 00:01:17.969 me and jumping in so that we can have an episode 00:01:17.969 --> 00:01:21.670 since Laura is incapacitated with the kids because 00:01:21.670 --> 00:01:24.790 that is what motherhood is. It's another dad 00:01:24.790 --> 00:01:28.849 cast. Another dad cast. And this week, I will 00:01:28.849 --> 00:01:32.569 be quizzing Stuart on what he knows about our 00:01:32.569 --> 00:01:35.650 kids. So some of it is just like day -to -day 00:01:35.650 --> 00:01:38.250 stuff, and then some of it is like maybe some 00:01:38.250 --> 00:01:41.920 memory. This should be fun. But do you want to 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:44.019 start with your mom moment of the week? Absolutely. 00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:47.379 My mom moment is that Lloyd at dinner the other 00:01:47.379 --> 00:01:50.099 day was just yelling, just pointless yelling, 00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:53.319 just, ah. He said, Lloyd, I think you said, Lloyd, 00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.459 we don't yell at the table. He said, okay, yell 00:01:56.459 --> 00:02:00.560 at mom. I'm like, nope, don't yell at mom. He 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:03.019 said, yell at dad. I said, nope, don't yell at 00:02:03.019 --> 00:02:06.219 dad. He said, yell at Zeta. Nope, don't yell 00:02:06.219 --> 00:02:09.270 at Zeta. He said, yell at couch. You and I are 00:02:09.270 --> 00:02:12.229 both like, I guess, yeah, that's fine. You can 00:02:12.229 --> 00:02:14.469 yell at the couch. Then he just turns to look 00:02:14.469 --> 00:02:19.729 at the couch and goes, ah! We're like, yep, sure. 00:02:20.750 --> 00:02:23.810 We said you can yell at the couch, and you yelled 00:02:23.810 --> 00:02:26.069 at the couch. You sure did. And now that's a 00:02:26.069 --> 00:02:28.969 pretty regular occurrence. Yeah, he has started 00:02:28.969 --> 00:02:32.250 going through the whole family on who he's allowed 00:02:32.250 --> 00:02:35.860 to yell at, not just our immediate family. aunts 00:02:35.860 --> 00:02:38.240 and uncles and grandparents and cousins. Yeah, 00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:40.479 I heard that today. No, you're not allowed to 00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:42.960 yell at any of them. You can still yell at the 00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:47.680 couch, though. Still just turns and, ah! Which, 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:49.659 I mean, I guess it makes sense. It didn't even 00:02:49.659 --> 00:02:53.280 occur to me that he, to him, at yelling at something. 00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.039 Yep. Well, my mom moment, I haven't told, I would 00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:59.300 normally have told you this earlier, but I was 00:02:59.300 --> 00:03:00.620 like, if we're going to record today, then I 00:03:00.620 --> 00:03:04.509 want you to have a genuine reaction. So, of course, 00:03:04.629 --> 00:03:08.069 sleep has been a nightmare for everyone. And 00:03:08.069 --> 00:03:11.210 Zeta is just, like, refusing all the things, 00:03:11.270 --> 00:03:13.389 including napping. And so today I was trying 00:03:13.389 --> 00:03:15.729 to get her down for her afternoon nap, which 00:03:15.729 --> 00:03:18.849 is arguably the more important one, because that's 00:03:18.849 --> 00:03:20.449 when Lloyd's napping, and then I have, like, 00:03:20.569 --> 00:03:24.039 three minutes to myself kind of thing. So I'm 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:26.199 trying to get her down to her nap and I'm nursing 00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:29.219 her and she just like keeps looking at me and 00:03:29.219 --> 00:03:31.280 like smiling. And so finally I'm like, Zeta, 00:03:31.379 --> 00:03:33.479 you're supposed to be sleeping right now. And 00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:36.479 for the first time ever, she giggled at something 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:41.500 I said. Like she giggles all the time, but usually 00:03:41.500 --> 00:03:44.759 at like raspberries or like Lloyd jumping off 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.050 the couch or something like that. I've never 00:03:47.050 --> 00:03:49.169 had her giggle at like something someone said. 00:03:49.449 --> 00:03:51.789 As a reaction. As a reaction. That's so great. 00:03:51.909 --> 00:03:54.229 And the first time she did, she was laughing 00:03:54.229 --> 00:03:57.270 in my face about the fact that she was in fact 00:03:57.270 --> 00:04:00.069 supposed to be sleeping. So that is what your 00:04:00.069 --> 00:04:01.909 daughter did today. Yeah, she doesn't seem to 00:04:01.909 --> 00:04:04.530 get the memo, but sleep is good. No, not at all. 00:04:05.490 --> 00:04:08.349 Okay, well, are you ready for your quiz? Yeah, 00:04:08.370 --> 00:04:11.229 I think I studied. I'm prepared. Okay, we'll 00:04:11.229 --> 00:04:14.800 see. Uh, okay. First question. How long does 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.319 it take us to go through a sleeve of diapers 00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.800 specifically for Zeta? Cause Lloyd is a little 00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:23.560 bit, yeah. For Zeta. I think they come in like 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:27.540 a 94 pack or is it a, don't tell me. I think 00:04:27.540 --> 00:04:31.480 it's more than that. So did you say a sleeve? 00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.839 A sleeve, not a box. Okay. So we get the Kirkland 00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:38.720 brand for those listening. So can you, can you 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.319 tell me how many are in a sleeve or is that gonna? 00:04:42.300 --> 00:04:44.399 I mean, I don't know how many are in a sleeve. 00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.980 I just know how long it takes us to go through 00:04:46.980 --> 00:04:49.860 a sleeve. Okay, so a sleeve, I'm just going to 00:04:49.860 --> 00:04:54.199 guess, is about 40 diapers. And I'm going to 00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:59.279 say six a day. So we'll just say a week. A week 00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.939 to go through a sleeve. It takes us about a week 00:05:01.939 --> 00:05:03.180 to go through a sleeve. Okay, that's so great. 00:05:03.259 --> 00:05:06.360 Is it about 40? I mean, I think you're right. 00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:09.180 I think it's a 92 in a box or something like 00:05:09.180 --> 00:05:11.339 that. Yeah. It's around 90, so it's going to 00:05:11.339 --> 00:05:14.100 be about half. Yep. So 46 in each. All right. 00:05:14.779 --> 00:05:18.360 Yeah. And I only know that because if we're down 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:20.079 to a sleeve, then I'm like, we got to go to Costco 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:23.360 this week. So that way we do not run out of diapers. 00:05:24.540 --> 00:05:27.720 All right. Next question. How many times a day 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:31.500 does Zeta nurse slash? How much is she supposed 00:05:31.500 --> 00:05:34.060 to eat a day? Or how much milk is she supposed 00:05:34.060 --> 00:05:37.000 to drink a day? So I heard you say the other 00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:39.300 day she's supposed to have this many ounces, 00:05:39.379 --> 00:05:43.079 and I feel like it was 20 ounces. That also sounds 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.399 like a lot, having fed her a couple times when 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.360 I can't even get her to have four ounces in, 00:05:48.379 --> 00:05:51.939 like, an evening. I'm going to just arbitrarily 00:05:51.939 --> 00:05:56.339 say 18 ounces. And if you feed her, you're supposed 00:05:56.339 --> 00:06:00.180 to feed her every five hours, so at least. So 00:06:00.180 --> 00:06:01.879 that would be at least five feedings, but it's 00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:06.899 between five and two. We say every three hours 00:06:06.899 --> 00:06:11.860 on average, then six times in a day. So she's 00:06:11.860 --> 00:06:16.180 supposed to have 24 ounces a day. 24 ounces a 00:06:16.180 --> 00:06:20.259 day. And she does eat about every three, well, 00:06:20.420 --> 00:06:21.980 when she's awake, she eats about every three 00:06:21.980 --> 00:06:25.279 hours. Sometimes we go closer to four and then 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.459 at night we go longer. Right. And then it's around 00:06:28.459 --> 00:06:31.759 six to seven times a day. Okay. Man. All right. 00:06:31.779 --> 00:06:34.560 How much did each of our kids weigh at birth? 00:06:34.980 --> 00:06:37.060 And this is personal information. You just want 00:06:37.060 --> 00:06:42.500 this out there. So Lloyd weighed 710. I know 00:06:42.500 --> 00:06:51.160 that for a fact. And I want to say Zeta was 5 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:57.339 '13". 5 '12". 5 '12". I was off by one ounce. 00:06:57.339 --> 00:07:01.639 By one ounce. My gosh. But she didn't lose any 00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:04.079 birth weight. Lloyd did lose birth weight in 00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:08.639 the hospital. All right. What size diapers are 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:11.000 both of our kids in? Lloyd's a four. Zeta's a 00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:14.560 two. That's easy. I see that. All day, every 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:18.339 day. Not all day. Okay. What is Lloyd's preferred 00:07:18.339 --> 00:07:24.519 type of ice? Lloyd prefers pebble ice. That's 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:28.199 just a funny thing. He specifically asks for 00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:30.980 pebble ice. And then what is Lloyd's current 00:07:30.980 --> 00:07:34.379 favorite snack? Lloyd's current favorite snack 00:07:34.379 --> 00:07:38.439 is PBJs and specifically strawberry PBJs. This 00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:41.139 week it's great. Is it? Well, today I got home 00:07:41.139 --> 00:07:42.939 and he asked for a strawberry PBJ. Oh, did he? 00:07:42.980 --> 00:07:46.040 Yeah. Even though he had a grape PBJ in his hand. 00:07:46.139 --> 00:07:48.439 Well, maybe he just wanted both today then. That's, 00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:53.459 yeah. But, yeah, like all of last week, we were 00:07:53.459 --> 00:07:55.819 out of the strawberry ones because he ate the 00:07:55.819 --> 00:07:57.560 strawberry ones. So he'd be like, strawberry. 00:07:57.740 --> 00:08:00.399 And I'd say, nobody, like we are out of strawberries, 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:02.660 so you have to have grape. And then now we are 00:08:02.660 --> 00:08:05.100 not out of the strawberry ones. We got a new 00:08:05.100 --> 00:08:08.079 box. And I offer him, which one do you want? 00:08:08.540 --> 00:08:13.990 Grape. Okay. Okay. All right. We'll have to bleep 00:08:13.990 --> 00:08:16.870 this out because this is personal information, 00:08:17.050 --> 00:08:19.350 but I want to know, do you know the name of our 00:08:19.350 --> 00:08:25.069 pediatrician slash the doctor's office? Nope. 00:08:25.629 --> 00:08:27.670 Okay, so we don't have to bleep anything out. 00:08:27.670 --> 00:08:31.470 I know where it is. I would recognize him. Great. 00:08:31.709 --> 00:08:34.590 So if they get sick, you don't know who to call. 00:08:34.970 --> 00:08:38.529 No, I could Yelp it, or I could pull it up on 00:08:38.529 --> 00:08:42.259 Maps, figure out the practice, and... I think 00:08:42.259 --> 00:08:44.340 it's the only male doctor. There's only like 00:08:44.340 --> 00:08:46.659 three doctors anyways, and I think it's the only 00:08:46.659 --> 00:08:49.620 guy. I think, I don't know, because they also 00:08:49.620 --> 00:08:52.039 do more than just pediatrics there, so there 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:55.279 might be more, but. Okay. Well, I would find 00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:57.460 the pediatrician, the male pediatrician at that 00:08:57.460 --> 00:09:01.399 practice and say that guy. And if you told them 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:02.759 our kids' names, they would probably be like, 00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:06.360 oh, you usually see so -and -so. And it would 00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:10.519 ring a bell. Yeah, probably. Okay. What size 00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:13.279 clothes are both of the kids in? Lloyd is in 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:18.580 2T, and Zeta is in 9 to 12 months. Mostly. She's 00:09:18.580 --> 00:09:21.000 switching right now. Yeah, because she's a tall, 00:09:21.059 --> 00:09:24.039 skinny girl with big feet. She is a tall, skinny 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:25.720 girl with big feet. And Lloyd is not wearing 00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:28.940 diapers, so some 2T pants do not fit him. And 00:09:28.940 --> 00:09:31.659 we can still pull off, like, the 18 -month pants. 00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:35.559 Yeah, we have, like, three pairs of pants that 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:39.039 fit him actively right now. It's great. Okay. 00:09:39.580 --> 00:09:43.419 What is Zeta's most recent milestone? Well, today 00:09:43.419 --> 00:09:46.240 she climbed up stairs. That's true. I didn't 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:51.639 count that. Okay. Then I don't really know exactly 00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:54.919 what the milestones are, so I'll say clapping 00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:57.159 is a milestone. I was going to say it was something 00:09:57.159 --> 00:09:59.440 you noticed. So, yes, she started clapping like 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:02.019 two days ago. Yeah. And now that's all she does. 00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:05.840 Everybody clap at Zeta. Yeah. Okay. Each of the 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:08.820 kids have a name after one of my grandparents. 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:12.480 Which grandparent is each of the names from? 00:10:13.100 --> 00:10:16.759 Does that make sense? Yes. So Lloyd's middle 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:23.000 name is your dad's dad. Yep. Who also is named 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:26.779 after his uncle, I just found out. So we're sticking 00:10:26.779 --> 00:10:29.460 with family names. All the ones on my side with 00:10:29.460 --> 00:10:31.970 that name. One of them got shot by the cops and 00:10:31.970 --> 00:10:34.570 died, and one of them lost his arm on a roller 00:10:34.570 --> 00:10:36.370 coaster. So we're just going to say that that 00:10:36.370 --> 00:10:38.830 name comes from your side of the family. It does 00:10:38.830 --> 00:10:40.169 specifically come from my side of the family. 00:10:40.169 --> 00:10:44.649 Yes. And then Zeta is named after your grandmother 00:10:44.649 --> 00:10:47.950 slash great -grandmother. Great -great. On which 00:10:47.950 --> 00:10:52.250 side? On your mom's side. Okay. How many Lightning 00:10:52.250 --> 00:10:55.029 McQueen t -shirts does Lloyd have? So not counting 00:10:55.029 --> 00:10:58.289 pajamas, just counting daytime t -shirts. What 00:10:58.289 --> 00:11:01.440 about sweatshirts? You can count that. Okay. 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:08.240 I think he only has three t -shirts and one sweatshirt. 00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:10.679 That's what I counted too. Is it? Yeah. Okay. 00:11:10.779 --> 00:11:15.399 How many pajamas? Well, you got a full set for 00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:19.379 the whole week. So I think you got six, but then 00:11:19.379 --> 00:11:22.759 one of them is not cars. It is just vehicles. 00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:27.980 And I got a pair before that that set this whole 00:11:27.980 --> 00:11:31.159 thing off. So I think six. I think that's right. 00:11:31.379 --> 00:11:34.980 Okay. Okay. Now I'm going to count. Got the original 00:11:34.980 --> 00:11:39.720 ones. The red. Yep, the red. Okay. Then we have 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:42.940 the Cars Christmas pajamas that are a recent 00:11:42.940 --> 00:11:45.240 addition. Oh, yeah. I didn't even count those. 00:11:45.379 --> 00:11:49.580 Then we have the gray ones that say race to win. 00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:53.759 And we have the shorts. Mm -hmm. And we have 00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:57.840 the vehicular pajamas. Mm -hmm. I feel like I'm 00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:01.360 missing one. Oh, and then we have the not cars 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:04.539 branded, just automobiles. I think that's all 00:12:04.539 --> 00:12:07.679 of it. So six. Mm -hmm. And then we have the 00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:10.960 road builders. Right. Yeah, which we use to appease. 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:15.659 Yes. Or Buzz Lightyear. Yeah. And beyond. Yes. 00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:20.100 Okay. How many eggs do we go through in a week? 00:12:20.570 --> 00:12:26.289 So I believe you take two every day for yourself, 00:12:26.389 --> 00:12:29.690 and I think you make two for the kids combined. 00:12:29.990 --> 00:12:33.690 But now I'm just going to say three. On a five 00:12:33.690 --> 00:12:37.409 -day week, you would go through 25, and then 00:12:37.409 --> 00:12:43.129 on the weekend, I use six. So we go through about 00:12:43.129 --> 00:12:45.889 30 eggs a week. We just need to buy chickens 00:12:45.889 --> 00:12:48.980 at this point. Yeah. Not quite that many. I do 00:12:48.980 --> 00:12:51.740 only do two for the kids every day. Okay. And 00:12:51.740 --> 00:12:53.980 they don't eat breakfast at home on Wednesdays. 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:57.100 That's true. Okay. I actually almost calculated 00:12:57.100 --> 00:12:59.080 that wrong, too, because I was like, oh, five 00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:01.740 days a week. I was like, wait, they eat breakfast 00:13:01.740 --> 00:13:04.919 with grandparents on Wednesdays. So, yeah, we 00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:08.980 go through at least two dozen a week. Okay. And 00:13:08.980 --> 00:13:11.159 then if I cook something else with eggs, more 00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:14.889 than that. Yeah. Okay. How often do I change 00:13:14.889 --> 00:13:18.509 the sheets and towels for the kids? Every week, 00:13:18.509 --> 00:13:22.549 once a week. That is correct. Okay, when and 00:13:22.549 --> 00:13:24.549 how long should each of the kids be napping every 00:13:24.549 --> 00:13:30.509 day? Lloyd naps once a day from, should be noon 00:13:30.509 --> 00:13:35.590 to three, three hours, right? And Zeta should 00:13:35.590 --> 00:13:38.889 be napping twice, which she does not do. And 00:13:38.889 --> 00:13:41.509 it should be two hours apiece, so four hours, 00:13:41.610 --> 00:13:47.279 right? And it's kind of like 9 to 11 and then 00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:52.340 1 to 3. If she ever listened to us or valued 00:13:52.340 --> 00:13:55.840 sleep at all. But she doesn't. No. All right. 00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:59.100 What is Lloyd's favorite book right now? Right 00:13:59.100 --> 00:14:01.220 now, Lloyd's favorite book is Caps for Sale. 00:14:01.539 --> 00:14:05.559 If we're doing bedtime books. Yes. Bedtime book 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:08.279 is Caps for Sale. That's probably what I was 00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:10.460 going to count. Yeah. Don't even remember who 00:14:10.460 --> 00:14:12.200 it's by. Her name is really hard to pronounce. 00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:14.360 I think we figure out she's a Russian author. 00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:16.539 Yeah, something Zephyr. Something like that. 00:14:16.740 --> 00:14:20.200 And it's all about the monkeys who go... Do you 00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:22.279 want to recite it right now for us? Well, I could, 00:14:22.460 --> 00:14:24.659 but... Once there was a peddler who sold caps, 00:14:24.820 --> 00:14:26.320 but he was not like an ordinary peddler carrying 00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:27.820 his wares on his back. He carried them on top 00:14:27.820 --> 00:14:29.600 of his head. First he had on his own check cap, 00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:31.019 then a bunch of gray caps, then a bunch of brown 00:14:31.019 --> 00:14:32.419 caps, then a bunch of blue caps, then a bunch 00:14:32.419 --> 00:14:35.919 of red caps on the very top. We can stop, yeah. 00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:38.220 You don't want to recite the whole thing. It's 00:14:38.220 --> 00:14:41.139 actually a fairly long book. To keep his attention 00:14:41.139 --> 00:14:43.480 that long. I think it's the interaction of the 00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:46.659 animals and the animal sounds. And now Zeta's 00:14:46.659 --> 00:14:48.220 in on it too. Yeah, she started getting into 00:14:48.220 --> 00:14:51.279 it earlier than Lloyd did. I think Lloyd was 00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:53.759 almost a year when he actually started showing 00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:56.399 interest and getting excited. Yeah, because you 00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:59.299 texted me when I was in Maine and said, I guess 00:14:59.299 --> 00:15:02.039 I'm better at reading your favorite bedtime book 00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:07.330 than you are. Okay. What time should the kids 00:15:07.330 --> 00:15:10.990 get up on a good day? On the world's best day, 00:15:11.129 --> 00:15:14.629 it would be 8 o 'clock. On just like a normal 00:15:14.629 --> 00:15:19.190 day? A normal day, I think 7 .30, 7 .45 is the 00:15:19.190 --> 00:15:23.230 goal. Usually. This week, that's not, the last 00:15:23.230 --> 00:15:25.129 two weeks, that's not been the case. Zeta says 00:15:25.129 --> 00:15:29.649 5 .30 is ideal for her, which we're trying to 00:15:29.649 --> 00:15:31.789 work away from. That's when Dad wakes up and... 00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:34.460 She wants to be like that. Mm -hmm. She wants 00:15:34.460 --> 00:15:39.399 to start making beams. Mm -hmm. All right. What 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:42.980 color is the soap we use in the shower? That 00:15:42.980 --> 00:15:45.179 we use? I guess both. What do we use? What do 00:15:45.179 --> 00:15:47.860 the kids use? Well, the kids use an off -white 00:15:47.860 --> 00:15:50.539 because it's goat milk. But that's not really 00:15:50.539 --> 00:15:52.720 fair because I give them all the baths. That 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:55.700 is true. Do you know the brand, though? No, because 00:15:55.700 --> 00:16:00.980 we ran out of baby. But we got the same brand. 00:16:01.629 --> 00:16:03.450 We just couldn't get the little goat -shaped 00:16:03.450 --> 00:16:06.210 ones anymore. No. No, I do not know the brand. 00:16:06.269 --> 00:16:08.730 What's the brand? I think it's called Beekman 00:16:08.730 --> 00:16:14.149 1816 or something like that. It's a year. Okay. 00:16:14.370 --> 00:16:16.549 It's a very bougie brand, and the only reason 00:16:16.549 --> 00:16:19.129 we have it is because of my very bougie aunt. 00:16:19.269 --> 00:16:22.629 And other people buy them for us. Yeah, that's 00:16:22.629 --> 00:16:25.970 fine. What is the name of the laundry detergent 00:16:25.970 --> 00:16:32.470 we buy? It's those melting sheets. I notice it 00:16:32.470 --> 00:16:34.690 every now and then. I'm just going to say green 00:16:34.690 --> 00:16:38.110 people. Close. It's clean people. Clean people. 00:16:38.830 --> 00:16:41.769 Okay. Now I don't feel so bad. Yeah, that was 00:16:41.769 --> 00:16:44.330 really good. And you've never bought it. And 00:16:44.330 --> 00:16:48.830 it's also like, it comes in a box that once it's 00:16:48.830 --> 00:16:52.470 opened, you don't really see the name. Yep. So 00:16:52.470 --> 00:16:55.149 this one will be a hard one for you. What day 00:16:55.149 --> 00:16:59.549 is trash day? Trash day is now. Mondays. Yes. 00:16:59.610 --> 00:17:02.549 Yes. Because I take out the trash every week. 00:17:02.590 --> 00:17:04.950 Yep. It's a very important day in our house. 00:17:05.069 --> 00:17:07.230 Oh, especially every other week. In that one 00:17:07.230 --> 00:17:10.809 week when for some reason I was off. You were 00:17:10.809 --> 00:17:13.789 sick. I was sick and I came home to help. And 00:17:13.789 --> 00:17:16.849 the recycling guy tried to dump the bin when 00:17:16.849 --> 00:17:19.069 it was way too full and it spilled all over the 00:17:19.069 --> 00:17:21.359 front of his truck. Poor guy probably had the 00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:22.980 worst work day of his life. Yes, but it made 00:17:22.980 --> 00:17:25.039 Lloyd's life so much better. He got to watch. 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:26.819 It was right in front of our house. Yeah, literally 00:17:26.819 --> 00:17:29.660 on our driveway. Yeah, so the trash truck was 00:17:29.660 --> 00:17:32.259 probably there for a good like 10 minutes. Yeah, 00:17:32.259 --> 00:17:34.779 well, the guy just walked around by hand picking 00:17:34.779 --> 00:17:37.559 up all the recycling. Yeah. And Lloyd just loved 00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:40.160 it. So trash day and recycling day is Monday. 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:44.799 Very good. All right, how many pillows are on 00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:49.900 our bed when it's made? Six. No, I have to count. 00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:52.240 The back body pillow because we don't have a 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:55.380 headboard. Each of our pillows, so that's three. 00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:01.299 And for looks pillows, we each have one of those. 00:18:01.339 --> 00:18:03.339 That's five. And then your little round fluffy 00:18:03.339 --> 00:18:07.000 pillow that we got at Costco. Yes, okay. You 00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:09.660 got there faster than I did. Where do we keep 00:18:09.660 --> 00:18:12.559 extra toilet paper? Well, it should be in the 00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:15.880 linen closet, but when it's not, it... is in 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:20.240 the garage on top of the pantry shelf pantry 00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:23.380 bookshelf the bookshelf that we keep extra food 00:18:23.380 --> 00:18:25.740 that's where we keep our toilet paper in the 00:18:25.740 --> 00:18:28.960 garage yes i mean anyone who buys costco sized 00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:30.720 toilet paper knows you can't keep it all in the 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:33.519 same place or even in the house right yeah like 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:37.000 unless you have a basement which we don't yeah 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:39.140 so we keep in the garage and then yes linen closet 00:18:39.140 --> 00:18:43.819 what setting do we wash the kids clothes on I'm 00:18:43.819 --> 00:18:47.500 just going to say regular normal. Nope. No? No. 00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:49.539 I don't think I ever wash anything on regular 00:18:49.539 --> 00:18:52.579 in our washer, but also our washer sucks. I wash 00:18:52.579 --> 00:18:55.119 everything on regular normal. If I put anything 00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:56.980 in there, it's always regular normal, unless 00:18:56.980 --> 00:19:01.359 it's a fast wash, a quick wash. What is it? Colors. 00:19:01.940 --> 00:19:05.059 Colors. That's not the default? That's not what 00:19:05.059 --> 00:19:07.279 regular is? Honestly, I have no idea what regular 00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:09.910 is. Maybe I should look at the setting, like 00:19:09.910 --> 00:19:12.230 the owner's manual for a washer at some point 00:19:12.230 --> 00:19:13.710 in time and find out what all the settings actually 00:19:13.710 --> 00:19:15.390 mean. Because I've kind of just been winging 00:19:15.390 --> 00:19:17.569 it for this past year and a half. Do they have 00:19:17.569 --> 00:19:20.529 any white shirts? You probably don't even separate 00:19:20.529 --> 00:19:23.750 their whites. I don't separate their whites. 00:19:23.869 --> 00:19:28.750 You are slipping after two kids. Yep. And I try 00:19:28.750 --> 00:19:31.609 not, I guess Zeta was in a white onesie today, 00:19:31.710 --> 00:19:34.950 but I try not to do white clothes for the kids 00:19:34.950 --> 00:19:37.930 because... It's inevitably going to get stained. 00:19:38.150 --> 00:19:40.650 Yeah, even if we got white clothes, they're not 00:19:40.650 --> 00:19:44.490 white anymore. Yeah. And even if we're like, 00:19:44.529 --> 00:19:46.529 we're going to put this on you for 36 seconds 00:19:46.529 --> 00:19:49.970 to take a picture, somehow, they would be like, 00:19:50.170 --> 00:19:52.730 oh, I just found this bottle of pasta sauce. 00:19:52.930 --> 00:19:57.069 What if I poured that on me? Hitchcock. Exactly. 00:19:58.609 --> 00:20:02.210 All right. What's one chore I absolutely hate 00:20:02.210 --> 00:20:06.349 doing? Well, there are a couple that you... Straight 00:20:06.349 --> 00:20:09.910 up, will never do, and that's empty the cat litter, 00:20:10.069 --> 00:20:12.269 change the cat litter, anything to do with cat 00:20:12.269 --> 00:20:17.630 poop. I think you don't take out the trash, but 00:20:17.630 --> 00:20:19.109 I don't think that's one that you absolutely 00:20:19.109 --> 00:20:22.230 would not do. I feel like, well, I've had to 00:20:22.230 --> 00:20:24.210 because you were out of town that one time. The 00:20:24.210 --> 00:20:28.150 one time you were out of town, I had to. And 00:20:28.150 --> 00:20:31.349 I do take it down from the kitchen to the trash 00:20:31.349 --> 00:20:34.309 garbage sometimes. Probably like once a week 00:20:34.309 --> 00:20:37.099 I do that. Yeah, I notice, and I appreciate it. 00:20:37.259 --> 00:20:39.680 I mean, I'm not searching for it. I think the 00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:42.980 one that you will not do is clean the shower 00:20:42.980 --> 00:20:49.240 or clean bathrooms. I mean, I will. Well, you 00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:53.559 did it for a living for a little bit, and now 00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:55.680 I think that's just something that... Actually, 00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:59.099 the thing I hate most... is we just have so much 00:20:59.099 --> 00:21:01.299 stuff on our, like there's so much stuff to move 00:21:01.299 --> 00:21:04.700 on the counter, in the shower, the toilets, less 00:21:04.700 --> 00:21:08.519 of a big deal. Like if we didn't have all the 00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:10.920 stuff on our counter and in the shower, I could 00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:13.299 probably, I'd probably clean it way more often. 00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:15.799 Yeah. But it's moving everything. That's super 00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.539 annoying. Yeah. I can feel that. Yeah. I don't 00:21:18.539 --> 00:21:21.000 like cleaning the shower for sure. I don't think 00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:22.980 if there's anything else that like, oh, I hate 00:21:22.980 --> 00:21:26.000 that chore. Cleaning cast iron pans, but you 00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:29.049 do that every day. Yeah, that's not the worst. 00:21:29.089 --> 00:21:30.910 I've gotten used to it. Once you get the hang 00:21:30.910 --> 00:21:33.450 of it. Yeah, I'll probably clean the bathrooms 00:21:33.450 --> 00:21:35.630 up there. Our bathroom or the cat's bathroom 00:21:35.630 --> 00:21:39.230 or the kid's bathroom. But that's because there's 00:21:39.230 --> 00:21:41.190 no time to clean a kid's bathroom because when 00:21:41.190 --> 00:21:42.930 they're napping... They can't go in their bathroom. 00:21:43.089 --> 00:21:45.750 Exactly. So we had to get them an en suite. Yep. 00:21:46.509 --> 00:21:50.950 Okay. What time... So my parents take the kids 00:21:50.950 --> 00:21:53.650 on Wednesdays. What time do they normally pick 00:21:53.650 --> 00:21:56.680 them up and drop them off? They normally pick 00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:58.980 them up. Well, I think their goal is to leave 00:21:58.980 --> 00:22:02.380 here at 8. About that, yeah. Yeah, because the 00:22:02.380 --> 00:22:05.420 days that they pick them up, you're usually like, 00:22:05.500 --> 00:22:08.779 oh, the one day I wake them up that they're sleeping 00:22:08.779 --> 00:22:12.259 until 7 .30 is when they have to be up by 7 .45 00:22:12.259 --> 00:22:16.339 to get out of the house. And I think they drop 00:22:16.339 --> 00:22:21.579 them off at 4 .15, if not just 4 right when you're 00:22:21.579 --> 00:22:23.400 off, but I think they would give you some time. 00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:26.460 So 4 .15. They usually drop them off about 3 00:22:26.460 --> 00:22:29.059 .45. Really? Mm -hmm. Do they hang out for the 00:22:29.059 --> 00:22:32.180 last 15 minutes? Sometimes. If I'm, like, clearly 00:22:32.180 --> 00:22:33.819 in the middle of something for work, then they 00:22:33.819 --> 00:22:36.759 will. Okay. But, I mean, usually by that time 00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:40.559 of the day, it's pretty slow, and it's just, 00:22:40.619 --> 00:22:42.759 like, kind of waiting out the clock situation. 00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:45.779 Okay. Actually, I don't even know this one, so 00:22:45.779 --> 00:22:49.619 we'll see. What temperature should their bathwater 00:22:49.619 --> 00:22:54.119 be? I'm going to guess 98 degrees. Nick Lachey. 00:22:56.409 --> 00:23:00.190 Let's ask Siri. What temperature should bath 00:23:00.190 --> 00:23:05.009 water for babies be? The ideal temperature for 00:23:05.009 --> 00:23:08.349 a baby's bath water is 98 .6 degrees Fahrenheit 00:23:08.349 --> 00:23:12.450 between 37 degrees Celsius and 38 degrees Celsius. 00:23:13.109 --> 00:23:15.730 Okay, I don't know if that actually picked up 00:23:15.730 --> 00:23:19.829 on Mike, but she said 98 .6 degrees. So human 00:23:19.829 --> 00:23:23.420 body temperature. Yep. And I don't do that. I 00:23:23.420 --> 00:23:25.539 just go by feel. It should feel a little warm, 00:23:25.579 --> 00:23:28.880 and sometimes Lloyd says, hot. Sometimes he says, 00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:32.059 cold. So I kind of just adjust it if he's complaining. 00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:35.779 I mean, that makes sense. Yeah. Humans have survived 00:23:35.779 --> 00:23:38.819 this long without having thermometers in their 00:23:38.819 --> 00:23:42.559 bathwater. Have you seen the little rubber duckies 00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:45.400 that are a thermometer? No, that makes sense, 00:23:45.420 --> 00:23:47.500 but it's kind of stupid. Yeah. No, it makes total 00:23:47.500 --> 00:23:50.839 sense. It's smart, but I will not use one. But 00:23:50.839 --> 00:23:52.900 also, again, like, I can feel the temperature 00:23:52.900 --> 00:23:55.740 of the water. It should pretty much feel room 00:23:55.740 --> 00:23:59.559 temperature. Yeah. That was a stupid thing to 00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:02.220 say. I'm cutting that out. This is the room. 00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:07.500 This isn't the room. Okay. How do I take my coffee? 00:24:08.380 --> 00:24:12.700 Well, lately you've been getting chai if you 00:24:12.700 --> 00:24:16.259 want caffeine. Sometimes you've been getting 00:24:16.259 --> 00:24:20.920 tea. But are we talking actual coffee? Sure. 00:24:21.140 --> 00:24:23.640 Okay, if we go to a diner, you get like one cream 00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:27.019 and some sugar. But what would my go -to drink 00:24:27.019 --> 00:24:32.380 be? Like if you were to just pick up Starbucks 00:24:32.380 --> 00:24:33.819 on the way home for me, what would you get for 00:24:33.819 --> 00:24:36.460 me? I think if you wanted caffeine, I would get 00:24:36.460 --> 00:24:38.960 you a strawberry refresher or whatever kind of 00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:42.259 refresher. I've never ordered one, so I don't 00:24:42.259 --> 00:24:44.819 know what fruits they come in. Strawberry acai. 00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:48.140 Okay, the strawberry acai refresher. With lemonade 00:24:48.140 --> 00:24:50.920 is my preference. I didn't know you could do 00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:54.460 that. Okay. What would be my go -to takeout place? 00:24:55.180 --> 00:24:59.680 I think it would, your usual would be like Chick 00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:03.319 -fil -A. But I think if you could build a restaurant 00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:05.519 right next to our house and you had a choice, 00:25:05.740 --> 00:25:09.480 I think it would be Five Guys. Five Guys is expensive, 00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:12.740 but I would like one closer. Well, I mean, but 00:25:12.740 --> 00:25:15.559 then if you don't feel like spending $10 on a 00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:18.400 burger, you can spend like $6 on a hot dog. That 00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:22.240 is true. And get a small fry, and they'll fill 00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:25.339 the bag up with fries. I mean, really? If I could 00:25:25.339 --> 00:25:30.740 just pick anywhere? I'll even say a legitimate 00:25:30.740 --> 00:25:34.440 chain or franchise, not half -assed. Don't say 00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:38.380 cookout. I was going to say cookout. I mean, 00:25:38.420 --> 00:25:40.799 it's possible. It could happen. It could happen, 00:25:40.900 --> 00:25:43.420 yes. If we can get a cookout here in Colorado 00:25:43.420 --> 00:25:45.940 and get it exactly where we live, where they've 00:25:45.940 --> 00:25:51.420 already built an In -N -Out. and canes and chewies 00:25:51.420 --> 00:25:55.200 and all the things that people already want from 00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:58.480 other states. We could get a cookout. Cookout 00:25:58.480 --> 00:26:01.519 surpasses them all. I think it does because what 00:26:01.519 --> 00:26:03.500 do you want for a side? How about another burger? 00:26:04.539 --> 00:26:07.720 Oh, so they have like 150 milkshakes. What's 00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:09.599 not to like? Yeah, but I always just get the 00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:13.460 huge tea. Oh, yeah. Or they have cheer wine, 00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:16.759 right? Cheer wine. So many good options. I think 00:26:16.759 --> 00:26:18.839 we just need to go to Tennessee right now. Okay, 00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:23.079 we'll wake up the kids. Okay. What's one show 00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:25.079 I watch that you've never paid attention to? 00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:28.559 Well, so I think you would say Gilmore Girls, 00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:31.259 but I have paid attention to Gilmore Girls a 00:26:31.259 --> 00:26:34.500 little bit. So I know that there's Rory and Lorelai. 00:26:34.619 --> 00:26:38.069 Well, Lorelai and Rory. Right? Lorelai's the 00:26:38.069 --> 00:26:41.049 mom, and Rory's name is Lorelai, but they call 00:26:41.049 --> 00:26:43.549 her Rory. So you've paid a lot of attention. 00:26:43.670 --> 00:26:48.549 Well, no, because there's a song by Styx called 00:26:48.549 --> 00:26:50.910 Lorelai that I always have stuck in my head. 00:26:51.710 --> 00:26:53.690 I feel like you have a lot of Styx songs stuck 00:26:53.690 --> 00:26:57.569 in your head frequently. Lately, yes. But when 00:26:57.569 --> 00:27:02.430 you have put on The Crown while I was in the 00:27:02.430 --> 00:27:06.839 room, lately you were watching Victoria. no idea 00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:09.880 what what any of that is except for the emo prince 00:27:09.880 --> 00:27:12.660 albert and i only remember prince albert because 00:27:12.660 --> 00:27:15.720 because i told you about how he looked like an 00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:17.900 emo sad boy well that he looks like an emo sad 00:27:17.900 --> 00:27:19.740 boy but i remembered his name was prince albert 00:27:19.740 --> 00:27:22.539 yeah yeah i know i feel like you do the ultimate 00:27:22.539 --> 00:27:25.259 dad thing when i put on shows where like i'm 00:27:25.259 --> 00:27:26.960 not interested and then all of a sudden you're 00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:29.740 like wait he's going home on the great british 00:27:29.740 --> 00:27:34.240 baking show and you're devastated to me Is talking 00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:38.599 about fruity pebbles? If you know, you know. 00:27:38.700 --> 00:27:43.700 You know. Okay. What would be my preferred scent 00:27:43.700 --> 00:27:47.720 of candle? Probably sea salt. Just something 00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:51.480 really non -invasive. Something not aromatic. 00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:53.259 I think we have a sea salt one right over there. 00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:58.279 Oh yeah, we do. It would be something super neutral 00:27:58.279 --> 00:28:02.230 like that. Or... a wood oil and i think you would 00:28:02.230 --> 00:28:05.430 want a cedar wood or sandalwood i was probably 00:28:05.430 --> 00:28:08.950 gonna say cedar yeah if i don't like candles 00:28:08.950 --> 00:28:12.950 though no but we can just burn real wood like 00:28:12.950 --> 00:28:16.809 aromatic cedar yeah yeah um i don't know where 00:28:16.809 --> 00:28:18.990 we would burn it in our house since we do not 00:28:18.990 --> 00:28:22.569 have a fireplace but we can figure that out yep 00:28:22.569 --> 00:28:26.670 we'll get one installed a wood burning fireplace 00:28:26.670 --> 00:28:30.720 installed in our Condo with two shared walls. 00:28:31.140 --> 00:28:34.779 And the chimney. That doesn't exist. Yeah. Yeah. 00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:36.539 Okay. We'll figure it out. We can figure it out. 00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:39.420 It's fine. What color are the curtains in the 00:28:39.420 --> 00:28:44.259 kids' room? Black. Yeah. But I bought those when 00:28:44.259 --> 00:28:47.500 we lived in our apartment with Lloyd. Yeah. And 00:28:47.500 --> 00:28:50.900 his room was freezing all of the time. Yeah. 00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:52.700 Because I'm the one who sealed it up with plastic 00:28:52.700 --> 00:28:54.940 wrap and towels. Mm -hmm. And those curtains. 00:28:55.779 --> 00:28:58.519 When was the kids' last doctor's appointment? 00:28:59.930 --> 00:29:05.470 Zeta had one like last week. No, two weeks ago. 00:29:06.049 --> 00:29:10.529 It was the week after she turned like nine months. 00:29:10.930 --> 00:29:15.289 And Lloyd's, I think, was right before or right 00:29:15.289 --> 00:29:18.369 around when he turned two. Was his concussion 00:29:18.369 --> 00:29:22.009 before or after his second birthday? It was before. 00:29:22.210 --> 00:29:24.650 It was before. So his last doctor's appointment 00:29:24.650 --> 00:29:27.730 was when he turned two. And he's got one coming 00:29:27.730 --> 00:29:31.960 up. On Festivus. He does. I was like, what? You 00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:34.500 remember that and I didn't. Then Zeta's next 00:29:34.500 --> 00:29:36.920 one should be when she hits a year. Yeah, unless 00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:39.839 there's something wrong with her, which there's 00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:43.859 not. All right. What is the name of our Wi -Fi 00:29:43.859 --> 00:29:47.140 and do you know our Wi -Fi password? Well, I 00:29:47.140 --> 00:29:49.559 named our Wi -Fi. No, you didn't. Live Free Wi 00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:52.279 -Fi Hard. I named it. That was me. That was me. 00:29:52.700 --> 00:29:55.140 You weren't even there. Yes, I know the password. 00:29:55.660 --> 00:29:57.950 It's... our nickname and our wedding anniversary. 00:29:58.329 --> 00:30:02.269 How many streaming services do we pay for? We 00:30:02.269 --> 00:30:08.710 have Hulu, Apple. If we're counting the dual 00:30:08.710 --> 00:30:14.309 household Netflix, I guess we have Amazon that's 00:30:14.309 --> 00:30:18.690 included with just a prime membership. We currently 00:30:18.690 --> 00:30:24.420 paid for a month of Apple TV, which we canceled 00:30:24.420 --> 00:30:27.500 immediately so we only have the month and then 00:30:27.500 --> 00:30:31.980 our disney's about to run out this is depressing 00:30:31.980 --> 00:30:36.680 we don't i shouldn't say which ones we have and 00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:39.900 we don't pay for so i will not include those 00:30:39.900 --> 00:30:43.900 i think or if we i guess we can say peacock because 00:30:43.900 --> 00:30:48.440 we get it i was gonna say peacock yes uh that 00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:51.759 one's just included so that's free i canceled 00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:55.710 shutter I canceled Paramount. I think it's seven. 00:30:56.250 --> 00:30:58.250 Can you think of any more that I didn't just 00:30:58.250 --> 00:31:01.410 name that we pay for? Yeah. In one way, shape, 00:31:01.430 --> 00:31:05.910 or form? I don't think so. Okay. We've gone through 00:31:05.910 --> 00:31:08.309 our streaming, like what we pay for a couple 00:31:08.309 --> 00:31:10.549 of times to be like, are we actually watching 00:31:10.549 --> 00:31:13.410 things on this? Is it worth paying for? So I 00:31:13.410 --> 00:31:15.650 think we're actually pretty good about it. Okay. 00:31:15.809 --> 00:31:19.420 And like Netflix, we only have because... Your 00:31:19.420 --> 00:31:21.160 parents pay for it, and then we pay for the, 00:31:21.180 --> 00:31:24.700 like, extra household. Correct. Yep. Otherwise, 00:31:24.900 --> 00:31:27.759 we would just not have Netflix. And we're counting 00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:31.119 Apple Music as a streaming service. Yeah. Yeah. 00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:36.259 Okay. I'll use Spotify, loyalists, I don't care. 00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:39.900 Yeah. Please listen to this podcast on Spotify, 00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:44.839 Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, wherever you listen 00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:48.549 to your podcasts. What's the last thing you said 00:31:48.549 --> 00:31:51.130 you'd fix and still haven't? Well, if we're counting 00:31:51.130 --> 00:31:54.450 things that I would build, it would be a frame 00:31:54.450 --> 00:31:58.349 around the powder room, the mirror in the powder 00:31:58.349 --> 00:32:01.549 room. I have not done that. Last thing I said 00:32:01.549 --> 00:32:04.910 I would fix, I think I fixed the heater. Are 00:32:04.910 --> 00:32:07.170 we counting that, that I fixed it? Yeah, I mean, 00:32:07.190 --> 00:32:09.430 I don't think it was ever really broken, but... 00:32:09.430 --> 00:32:12.170 No, I just figured out how, yeah, what was not 00:32:12.170 --> 00:32:15.599 working so great or why, yeah. Or at least one 00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:17.359 of the reasons it wasn't heating up the kids' 00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:20.059 room. I mean, it's hard because our house is 00:32:20.059 --> 00:32:22.980 a new build, so we don't have a ton of things 00:32:22.980 --> 00:32:25.779 that are broken in it. Yeah, but I think if we're 00:32:25.779 --> 00:32:26.859 counting things that I said I would build and 00:32:26.859 --> 00:32:28.140 have it. I was going to say anything that's on 00:32:28.140 --> 00:32:32.480 the honey -do list. Yeah, so the last thing is 00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:36.140 the mirror frame because I said, oh, that would 00:32:36.140 --> 00:32:38.859 be so easy, and then I still haven't done that. 00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:43.099 Yep. I would say that or the coat rack down here. 00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:47.700 Oh, yeah. I'll have time. Someday. Name one thing 00:32:47.700 --> 00:32:50.319 that's been in the fridge for way too long. There's 00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:55.980 mac and cheese in there. There is... I got a 00:32:55.980 --> 00:32:58.400 little fancy with some pancakes and made some 00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:02.279 fruit, like some berry syrup that's been in there 00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:03.740 for a while, but I don't think that really goes 00:33:03.740 --> 00:33:06.019 bad, so I haven't felt like throwing it away. 00:33:06.819 --> 00:33:09.319 Yeah. We still don't really need it because I 00:33:09.319 --> 00:33:12.359 don't think we'll ever use it. Okay. It was delicious. 00:33:12.380 --> 00:33:15.519 You could throw it on some frozen pancakes. That's 00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:19.339 true. I would say mac and cheese. Or that sandwich 00:33:19.339 --> 00:33:21.460 that you probably actually just threw away. I 00:33:21.460 --> 00:33:23.720 did throw it away. Okay, my bad. Yeah, that's 00:33:23.720 --> 00:33:26.740 probably it. Mac and cheese. Craft mac and cheese. 00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:29.400 Well, I mean, it's, yeah, boxed mac and cheese. 00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:32.339 The good stuff or something like that. Goodles. 00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:35.660 Something like that. Yeah, the box of mac and 00:33:35.660 --> 00:33:38.440 cheese that we saved a single, like, half serving 00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:40.490 of. Yeah, I don't actually know why I did that. 00:33:40.650 --> 00:33:42.609 I'd get out of here. Because it would be so great 00:33:42.609 --> 00:33:45.190 to just shove in front of Lloyd. Yeah, probably. 00:33:45.470 --> 00:33:47.869 Actually, I think that I was like, oh, it's going 00:33:47.869 --> 00:33:50.390 to be the weekend and we always need quick lunches 00:33:50.390 --> 00:33:52.329 on the weekend. Well, that is all the questions 00:33:52.329 --> 00:33:54.049 I have for you. Do you have anything that you 00:33:54.049 --> 00:33:57.869 think you could quiz me on? I did. What snack 00:33:57.869 --> 00:34:01.289 do I give to Lloyd to appease him before Datterday 00:34:01.289 --> 00:34:04.450 breakfast is ready? Cheese balls. Cheese balls. 00:34:04.869 --> 00:34:08.369 Cheese balls. Which... To be clear for our listeners, 00:34:08.489 --> 00:34:12.989 this is not like a cheese ball from a container, 00:34:13.090 --> 00:34:17.849 like what you would picture. It is shredded cheese 00:34:17.849 --> 00:34:21.269 mashed into a ball. Yeah, you squeeze real hard 00:34:21.269 --> 00:34:23.349 together between your hands, which is my preferred 00:34:23.349 --> 00:34:26.070 way to eat cheese in general, and I'm passing 00:34:26.070 --> 00:34:28.889 it on to my son. And he gets very excited for 00:34:28.889 --> 00:34:32.400 them, and he is devastated. during the week on 00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:33.860 days when I'm like, no, you're not getting a 00:34:33.860 --> 00:34:35.960 cheese ball right now. And Zeta has had her first 00:34:35.960 --> 00:34:39.019 cheese ball. Yeah, which is, you know, we didn't 00:34:39.019 --> 00:34:41.079 mention that milestone. No, but that's a big 00:34:41.079 --> 00:34:42.960 one. Yeah. That wasn't her latest. That wasn't 00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:45.739 her latest one. It was recent though. Yep. Well, 00:34:45.820 --> 00:34:48.679 thanks for stepping in when Laura couldn't make 00:34:48.679 --> 00:34:52.519 it. Do you want to wrap up with your mom win 00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:56.539 of the week? Yes. My mom win of the week is today 00:34:56.539 --> 00:35:01.420 was my last day as a carpenter. And I am taking 00:35:01.420 --> 00:35:05.599 a month off during the holidays to be with the 00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:08.000 family and use some more of my parental leave. 00:35:08.139 --> 00:35:13.239 And then going back to not a carpenter job. But 00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:16.739 the real win is that I finished both the kids' 00:35:16.840 --> 00:35:19.639 Christmas presents before I left the woodshop 00:35:19.639 --> 00:35:23.380 today. So last year I made Lloyd a Montessori 00:35:23.380 --> 00:35:28.039 arch for Christmas. And this year I made a slide. 00:35:28.599 --> 00:35:31.980 to add on to his Montessori arch. And it doesn't 00:35:31.980 --> 00:35:34.559 really matter how big the slide is. It'll fit 00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:37.639 in our house, and it'll fit on the arch. And 00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:39.960 he thinks any little gentle slope is a slide. 00:35:40.699 --> 00:35:45.320 And then I made Zeta a walnut and cypress Z. 00:35:46.179 --> 00:35:49.079 It's not cut into a Z yet, but I've glued it 00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:50.900 all up, and I'm taking it to someone's house 00:35:50.900 --> 00:35:53.599 so they can cut it into a Z because she likes 00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:57.239 chewing on her wooden toys. Just figured something 00:35:57.239 --> 00:36:01.260 cool, personal for her. And Zs are hard to come 00:36:01.260 --> 00:36:03.340 by. Yeah. Just when it comes to like initial 00:36:03.340 --> 00:36:06.539 stuff. Very true. We kind of ruined our kids' 00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:10.440 lives that way with names and initials that just 00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:12.420 like, well, tough luck. Sorry for naming our 00:36:12.420 --> 00:36:15.380 kids cool, cool names. I mean, we just have to 00:36:15.380 --> 00:36:17.000 pass along the experience because I don't think 00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:19.019 either of us ever found a keychain with our name 00:36:19.019 --> 00:36:23.380 on it. Nope. So that was my real motivation to 00:36:23.380 --> 00:36:26.400 stay. In the wood shop was just to push through 00:36:26.400 --> 00:36:28.380 and finish the kids' presents and use all the 00:36:28.380 --> 00:36:30.780 tools that they had. That's great. Yeah. Now 00:36:30.780 --> 00:36:32.380 I don't know what's going to happen when I have 00:36:32.380 --> 00:36:34.440 things I need you to make. Well, I can still 00:36:34.440 --> 00:36:36.559 go into the shop. Oh, okay. They'll allow it. 00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:38.579 Because I'll just be in the office. I'll be like 00:36:38.579 --> 00:36:41.559 a doorway. Oh, okay. And they trust me, I think. 00:36:42.199 --> 00:36:44.820 They like you. I was a supervisor. No big deal. 00:36:45.179 --> 00:36:48.920 I mean, they promoted you, so. Supervisor. What's 00:36:48.920 --> 00:36:52.179 your mom win of the week? Mine is just something 00:36:52.179 --> 00:36:54.719 super cute that Lloyd's doing right now, which 00:36:54.719 --> 00:36:56.360 is nice because he's also doing a lot of annoying 00:36:56.360 --> 00:36:58.800 things. So to have the cute things really helps. 00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:03.539 So for our listeners, he isn't really allowed 00:37:03.539 --> 00:37:05.800 to use our phones. Like we don't let him play 00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:07.639 games or look at YouTube or anything like that. 00:37:07.780 --> 00:37:10.139 But he does like to look at pictures on our phones, 00:37:10.219 --> 00:37:15.059 which we do let him do. And both of our home 00:37:15.059 --> 00:37:17.909 screens. are set up so that if you, like, tap 00:37:17.909 --> 00:37:21.469 it, it changes pictures. So he knows how to do 00:37:21.469 --> 00:37:25.210 that now. And every time a new picture comes 00:37:25.210 --> 00:37:27.650 up, he'll, like, say who's in it. So he'll be 00:37:27.650 --> 00:37:31.110 like, Mom and Dad in Estes Park. Lloyd running. 00:37:31.809 --> 00:37:35.510 Lloyd at the playground. Dad and Lloyd at the 00:37:35.510 --> 00:37:38.429 playground. But anytime he gets to a picture 00:37:38.429 --> 00:37:43.869 of Zeta, he says one of two things. It's a picture 00:37:43.869 --> 00:37:46.250 from when she's, like, under three months and 00:37:46.250 --> 00:37:50.449 she's really little he goes baby sister and like 00:37:50.449 --> 00:37:54.969 it's like he's getting nostalgic for her being 00:37:54.969 --> 00:37:58.250 little it's really cute he just like this like 00:37:58.250 --> 00:38:04.030 super squeaky squealy voice baby sister and yeah 00:38:04.030 --> 00:38:07.010 it just it sounds exactly like he's just nostalgic 00:38:07.010 --> 00:38:09.610 for her being so little and like oh my gosh i 00:38:09.610 --> 00:38:12.230 can't believe she used to be so little and she's 00:38:12.230 --> 00:38:14.610 gotten so big And then the other thing he'll 00:38:14.610 --> 00:38:17.369 say is if it's a picture of her smiling, he goes, 00:38:17.469 --> 00:38:22.869 baby sister, happy girl. And he does this every 00:38:22.869 --> 00:38:25.110 time he comes across a happy picture of her. 00:38:25.650 --> 00:38:28.489 And it's just the cutest, sweetest thing. So 00:38:28.489 --> 00:38:32.869 excited. So excited. And I don't know where he 00:38:32.869 --> 00:38:34.809 learned. I don't know where he learned either 00:38:34.809 --> 00:38:38.269 of those. Because I guess I say she's a happy 00:38:38.269 --> 00:38:40.809 girl sometimes, but not usually. You probably 00:38:40.809 --> 00:38:44.630 said it once and he latched on. Yeah. I definitely 00:38:44.630 --> 00:38:47.530 don't say it all the time. So maybe just one 00:38:47.530 --> 00:38:48.789 time when I was picking her up or something. 00:38:49.349 --> 00:38:51.789 I think that's how he latched on to what he calls 00:38:51.789 --> 00:38:56.570 red. It is a bad word. He said it one time. That 00:38:56.570 --> 00:39:00.110 one? I was like, red guy? Our cat's name is Red, 00:39:00.230 --> 00:39:02.929 and we call him Red Guy all the time. So he does 00:39:02.929 --> 00:39:07.289 say that. Red Guy, you bad word. Yeah. The joys 00:39:07.289 --> 00:39:10.159 of parenthood. Mm -hmm.
