Tales of Toe Munchers and Chunky Milk

I don't want to post solely on our night time battles. I will say that it wasn't any better... and it wasn't any worse. Perhaps with the exception that Abby added herself to the night time routine. We aren't really sure if she had a nightmare or if her teeth were bothering her.

My mom, sister & brother came over around 6:30pm, I'm honestly not sure how we survived until then. There was one minor 'breakdown' around 3pm and then we moved on. Kiley and Kara just wouldn't stop crying. I fed Kara, went to Kiley and fed her... Kara was already screaming so I fed her again... by now it had been almost 45 minuets of feeding (or more) and Abby was jealous and upset that I wasn't paying attention to her. So she started pulling things off of counter tops and creating mayhem. I will admit... there was a point where every single one of us was crying. I guess to look at things positively... thats only ever happened twice.

After the tear fest I decided that nothing I was going to do would help the babies. They were changed, fed, warm and swinging in their swings. So I poured myself another cup of coffee, added sugar, a little milk... thought I saw chunks. Great... yep. The milk was spoiled. Which might NOT have been so bad except that I had used it on my cereal and in my coffee earlier that day. Ugh... it's like eating pancakes and as you go back for seconds you find worms in the batter. (yes that happened to me when I was younger... couldn't eat pancakes for years) So I poured it out, made myself a fresh batch of coffee and Abby and I retired to the basement.

Where we played house. Abby likes her play area in the basement. She took a stocking hat, placed a wooden carrot and cucumber into her 'purse,' slung it over her shoulder and said... "Bye Baby!!" Then left her 'house.' She did a few things, climbed into the tunnel and we took care of her 'baby.' After about an hour of playing downstairs she seemed in a better mood. Bouncing on the bed will do that.

My sister stayed overnight and helped me by giving Abby a bath last night. Abby has a set of bath tub crayons... and wow it was all over! My sister said that Abby was trying to eat her toes... with her legs straight, so she showed her how to bend her knees so she could munch on her toes. We now have a full fledged toe muncher.... When I took a shower the remains of Abby's 'preeties' made me smile. Little reminders of Abby are everywhere!!! This set was cute though.

Well it's 10 am... probably should get the babies changed and get some breakfast. I think we will head down to my parent's place after Tom get's off work. We are all in need of a little scenery change. I'm glad I have someone else to help and play with Abby... it will make our day fly by!
