We've been so busy, I think May is insanely busy this year for some reason. I finally had a couple minutes to sit at the computer and take a breather!
My new nephew was born last week, on Tuesday at 10:40 pm. They didn't induce my sister until late afternoon, so everyone's day was switched around, but he was worth the wait! I've seen him a bunch of times since then (any excuse to get a newborn fix!), and he's just a doll! Carson calls him "our Cousin Baby".
This is the last week of dance class, so it's also crazy! We had recital run-through last night. The recital is a good 45 minutes from our house. I guess I was having a super-mom moment because I thought it would be a great idea to take the whole family and watch the recital. I really thought Carson and Henry would enjoy watching the show. We aren't taking them Saturday, so it would be their only chance to see it until we get our DVD. Well, what in the world was I thinking? Everything was okay to begin with, then it all fell apart. I'm sure if anyone was paying attention to us, they thought we were nuts. I felt like I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off. We dropped Emilynn with her class, then Dustin found a seat with the baby. Carson wanted to sit at the very top, so I figured why not. All was well till I had to take him to the bathroom. Henry saw me go by and was upset. Then we went to change Emmy's shoes. She then started crying for me to sit with her. Carson cried to go back to the top. Then Emmy had to potty. It just all fell apart. For a bit, I had the boys up top and Dustin was with Emmy. Anyway, Dustin took the boys out. We finished up and left after Emilynn's last dance. She was upset that she couldn't dance on the stage anymore. It should be an interesting show because she's very excited about it this year! Tomorrow night we go back for dress rehearsal. She and I will do that alone. Dustin and I will take her to recital together, it is our special time with just her. I really feel like individual time is SO important, especially with multiples.
We have two more swim lessons to go, so that finishes up next week. I am not sure when the next session starts, but it's pretty soon. I will sign the twins up again, and possibly Henry this time.
My sister Abbey graduated from community college Saturday, so I went to that. She has a bunch of activities this month that I'm trying to get to, including her high school graduation which is after the college one. I always think that's weird how it works!
For some reason, my kids aren't sleeping as good as they used to, and I am tired. Someone always ends up in the bed with us before morning, or they come get me and insist I get in their bed. Either is fine because I get a bit more sleep. It is hard with choppy sleep though. They definitely slept more as infants than now! Some mornings they are raring to go and insist we get up and start the day super early. Those are my least favorite days! Then, there are days we all sleep till 10 am. It just depends and isn't consistent unfortunately. Maybe it will get better. I wish I liked coffee but I don't! I really need it some days!
Well, I'm off to clean, cook, or do something domestic! Haha!
Tomorrow is busy with swim lessons, then recital dress rehearsal. I also found out about a music class for the kids on Fridays, but we haven't made it to that yet! It's before swimming and close by there, so maybe one week we'll get ourselves together and go!
All for now, more soon.
