November 19th-25th

(11/19) Took the kiddos to the pediatrician for their two year visit.  They weighed in at 30lbs (75%) and 36" inches (80%).  Doctor said they look great and will see them again next year.  We went to Sarah's for dinner tonight and J was way too busy to come eat for very long.  They crashed hard after their very fun and busy day.

(11/20) Nanan came to watch the littles while I volunteered in C's class today.  I love volunteering - I feel like I'm back in first grade. I got to finger paint with the kids.  Super fun!  After I got back, I made lunch and then put the kiddos down.  Nanan left to run some errands but came back in time so that I could go fetch C from school without waking the littles.  They had a fun morning playing with the alphabet mat, and Nanan wanted to know when they learned to read.  They are really catching on to their letters fast - it's very cool!  After I brought C home from school, we had an early dinner (Thanksgiving dinner redux!) and lots more playtime.


(11/21) Today, both Dad & I were off and got to enjoy a sushi lunch together.  We're the mean parents that waited until the twins went down and C was off to school to do so... but it was yummy!  The rest of the day was spent in complete laziness.  I did escape for a short while for a Zumba class, and Dad got to put the twins down.  I didn't hear a peep once I came home, so yay for possibly a regular escape!


(11/22) I was up and at 'em early this morning and came home roughly about the time everybody needed to be getting up anyway.  Got the kids up, C out the door and settled in to read for a bit.  Had yet another foot appointment and picked up my orthotics.  Hooray.  I feel like a little old lady now... Granddad came to watch the kiddos for me while I was at the doctors.  D decided not to go to sleep until just before he got there, and the boys didn't wake up until I returned.  So much for visiting... But he'll see them tomorrow.


(11/23) The littles got to go to Grandma's house for some cookie baking while C & I went to hockey.  After hockey, we ran to the library and picked up some new reads for C, and then headed to Grandma's to bake some more cookies. And oh darn, she sent us home with all the goods.  We didn't get home until 3pm, but the boys did manage to nap until 5pm when I got them up for dinner. I kept them up until after 7pm, put them down and they talked for a little bit, and I didn't hear them past 7:30pm.


(11/24) Today Carter, Ben & Ryleigh (and their parents) came for a visit.  The twins are about 8 months older than Carter, but he is as tall as they are, and his mom pointed out that they could sneak him in with the twins and nobody would be the wiser that they weren't triplets.  LOL!  We swapped children containment strategies, got tackled by kids and puppies and had a nice visit.  They twins quickly faded and went down for a nap when they left.  I went Christmas shopping during nap and found a tree that I like along with a few presents. Now to get creative as to where to put it...


(11/25)  Work day for Mom and Dad has the kiddos.  Short work-week this week with Thanksgiving. So looking forward to it!
