Happy Mothers Day!

to all(soon-to-be, hope-to-be, new, and old)

jinxed

so I totally jinxed myself in the last post. Kids woke up at 3am for the past two nights!! Of course I have to work today so I am looking like a zombie. AHHH cant wait for today to be over already!

dog days of summer

So according to the weatherman the temp is 89, it feels like its 100 outside. Is it summer already? where did spring go? Its so hot, i have had to widdle down my walks with the kids from 1hr to about 15min. No fun. Maybe this summer heat wave will convince darren we need a pool at the new house! Even the dogs are slowing down from the heat already. Poor matilda and tator.


Tator didn't even want to get out of bed


or off the chair





Matilda used to sunbathe in the sun, now its just sunbathing in the shade







Too hot, need air-conditioning




Today started de-cluttering to get the house ready to put on the market. Man we have a lot of JUNK. Thank goodness nanny was here to watch the kids so I got lots accomplished.

Nanny Josiephine and the twins

is dylan wearing a cupcake bib?? I will have to talk to nanny about that



Lesson learned from today- Baby slobber ruins cell phones. yup that's right I let sophie play with my phone, and now when people call me I can hear them but they cant hear me. 300$ lesson learned.

My little slobber queen



Update- people have been asking me about sophie and dylan sleeping- YES!!! they are sleeping thru the night...really completely thru the night. Last night went to bed at 7:30pm and woke up at 7:15am YEAH!!! I hope I just didn't jinx myself!!
Looking forward to many more restful nights.

Ps. For those who don't know today is CINCO DE MAYO, (a Mexican celebration) which used to mean a day filled with drinking margaritas and eating chips and salsa. So after having the twins....its is just the 5th of May.

Auntie Laci

Auntie Laci came by to visit yesterday. The kids love to play with her. When the day was over I don't know who was more tired, the kids or laci!


we love auntie laci


Kids fighting over Jeffery the giraffe


Laci helping to feed sophie



She came with nice clean clothes and left with peas, carrots and a little bit of spit up on her. :)









Trying to get the house in order for selling...what a pain in the butt. Today estimates for hardwood floor refinishing, carpet instillation, and painting. Dont know how we will get this all done with 2 kids running around and 2 dogs licking everyone. I guess we are due a trip to mamaw and papaws house.

TOO CUTE!!

Sophie trying very hard to crawl. I captured this right before bedtime

Bath, Bed and Sweet Dreams

Bath time every night is one of my favorite times of day. The kids do alot of giggling and babbling and are just so darn cute I had to share.


I think they both have more rolls than a bakery.


Both love getting all soaped up and love the water.






Time to dry off, they hate this part.



PJ's time, cant go to bed without our bed buddies.

Sophie and her baby


Dylan and his buddy




After our prayers are said...sweet dream my babies!!




Cant wait for tomorrow. A day full of laughs and giggles
