I must be crazy because....

I signed myself and the twins up for our church Water Country trip.  I checked out the website and they had several kid things I thought the babies would enjoy.  So, we are going for it.  I went back and forth because I am tired and did I really want to wrestle  spend the whole day with 2 toddlers in a water park?  My sister talked me into it and I know the kids will enjoy it.  I am guilty of sometimes NOT doing things because it will be too hard with 2 very active toddlers.  I need to get back into the mindset, "if it can be done with one toddler, I'm doing it with two!".  I kind of gave up on that mantra after my kids started walking.  :-)   I already went online and ordered them lifejackets too, just in case.  So, we are committed now!  Haha!  I've wanted to get them lifejackets anyway because our family keeps talking about another Tangier Island trip and I won't let them ride that ferry without life jackets, no matter how silly we'll look.  Safety is always my priority. 

Yard saling was fun Saturday.  I got a few clothes and a really nice coat for Emmy for this fall/winter.  Carson didn't fare as well but he gets all of Hunter's stuff, so it's fine.  Emmy has a lot of Alyssa's stuff too, so hopefully we are good.  I hope this season coming up to have LESS stuff than we've been having.  Every season we have so many clothes-hand-me-downs, yard sale finds, and grandparent purchases.  Our drawers are usually stuffed and some things don't even get worn.  :-(  My goal is to have less this time. 

My favorite yard sale find was a lovely wooden rocking chair that is about 150 years old.  I just love old, sentimental pieces.  It is going to look great in the nursery and I got it for a great price. The lady said it was in her mother's great-grandmother's home....so I really don't know how old that makes it for sure, she thought 150 yrs.   Dustin had to make me feel all guilty because I didn't rock the twins.  :-(  I don't know that I will rock this baby all that much.  I will definitely put the baby to sleep like I did the twins, by just putting them down to bed and for naps.  That's just what works for me and I don't like fighting my kids to sleep.  On a side note- I got my twins on a schedule and sleeping routines using the "Baby Wise" books.  They have books from baby through teen years and they are wonderful.  I highly recommend them.  A twin mom gave me a copy when I was expecting, and it was a wonderful gift. 
Anyway, I will probably use the rocker more for nursing than anything, but we will see.
