It's been a busy week already, and it's only halfway through! We have been going every day
this week, hopefully tomorrow will be a stay-at-home day!
Monday was Monday.....we awoke to Emmy's crib tent zipper being stuck. Soooo.....I had to call Papa and Aunt Marie to come over and help me get it unstuck. It's broken. :-( I LOVE the crib tents so a replacement should arrive any day. We are using a borrowed one until then. Yes, it's that important! Monday was a no-nap day because of the crib incident so we went and had lunch with Amanda and then played outside a long time. We got muddy then we played in the water spigot. Emmy bend her head under it to get a drink....she is a true country girl! I don't know where she got that because we just got it, so we haven't shown her that!
Yesterday Meme & Poppy must have really been missing the twins because Meme called and volunteered to watch the babies for us to eat dinner! When we got there to drop them off, they ran to Poppy like they hadn't seen him in a year. It was so cute. Carson didn't even cry when I left. :-) They got to swim and we got alone time. We picked them up ready for bed in jammies, it was great!
Today my mom and I decided to take the kids shopping for a bit. We ate at Cracker Barrel and the waiter brought the twins their own kids' cups and they were thrilled! Carson laughed forever....he's sip, then laugh, sip, then laugh. He was laughing so loud! No toy on Earth could've made him so happy. It was so cute. Emmy figured out how to get her top off.....so her drink was a mess. Carson got a haircut while we were out at his "usual" place...divas & dudes. He's so handsome with his haircut. He got it "tapered" this time, very mature. :-)
We all went in Kohl's to check out the clearance racks for next spring/summer since it's end of season. I love shopping ahead because it's so cheap and I love hunting for bargains. It is getting harder to estimate sizes though.....so I didn't get quite as much as usual. By then it was nap time so the kiddos got restless and we left. I ran in Target and that was the end of shopping......
That makes two days this week without naps. I vowed a while back not to do things that interfered with nap. Well, apparently I forgot (time does that to you) how bad no-nap days are. They get pretty nasty. So.........no more no-nap days! I am back to only doing things before or after nap. I just can't take it when we don't nap. The kids are miserable if they haven't rested and it's not fair to put them through that. So, I will again be turning down invites to things during nap. It's just not worth it. If anyone wonders about this, I'd be happy to send the twins over nap-less! Haha!
We don't have many plans the rest of the week, so maybe it will be quieter.
Next week everyone is back in school, which makes me sad. I will lose a lot of my help.....
my mom, Nicole, and my four sisters. I still look forward to summer break!
