For the second week in a row we made it to church this morning. I averaged... probably 5 hours of sleep last night out of the 11pm-8am evening hours. If our church started a little later it would have been easier to get there, 9am is for us... just hard. But we managed to both get showers, get all three girls changed and fed... myself a coffee and out the door by 8:45am.... The roads were a little icky but I was so excited to finally make it out of the house! It was fun to see the way the drifts have swallowed the houses around here. There was one drift that was probably 10 feet high! We were both actually able to sit through the whole church service. Abby did pretty well actually. We sat next to quite a few families with children and next to my aunt's family and I think that helped. I also packed along 2 little boxes of raisins that Abby enjoyed 'sloooowly' eating out of the box... and dumping them on the floor. Sadly, although we were able to stay in church and listen to the sermon, I wasn't able to hear much of what was being said. Some day! It was fun to talk to people after church again... and I was finally able to get the cookware that had been sent along with the meals that were given to us when the twins were born. One of the families lives right here in our town!
Today was the first time I had been away from the twins. It was really nice to get out and have a nice dinner without worrying about Abby throwing a fit or trying to run away... or the babies crying. It was even nicer to go see a movie! We saw Avatar in 3D, I wasn't sure it was really worth the 10 dollar tickets but since the last movie we saw in the big theaters was for our anniversary date in June... and our next date will probably be awhile... we broke down and spent the 21 dollars. During the beginning credits they asked for us to be 'green' and give back our glasses.... for 10 dollar tickets I was keeping my glasses!!!! (Abby had fun with them after we got home, so it was totally worth it!) The only thing we regretted was not getting there earlier because the theater was crammed with people and we ended up staring straight up at the screen. I really wasn't expecting the movie to still be so popular that you couldn't show up 20 minuets before and get a good seat. Oh well... we still had fun. It was interesting that some people brought their small children. The mother behind us kept having to read the subtitles to the kids... and there were some violent scenes that I wouldnt have wanted my girls to see... I hope the little girl doesn't have nightmares tonight!
But we both really enjoyed the movie, it was a lot of fun. The girls all did great and Kara & Kiley took the bottle with no troubles at all. My mom did say that Kara seems to have a little harder time handling the faster slow of the bottle (similar to how Abby was)... not that I am surprised at all. She also has the worse reflux of the two. But everything turned out to be just fine. I'm not sure what our plans are for tomorrow. I'm really hoping that the girls sleep fairly well tonight. I'm so tired my eyes are heavy and my body just aches. It was really hard to not want to just curl up and fall asleep in the dark theater.
Both babies are on their way to sleep so I should get to sleep while I can.... night!
