MSPI Day 1

Abby and Feebee are chasing eachother around the house. Abby has an orange ball that Feebee wants and they take turns playing. It's pretty cute to watch, though a little hectic. I had been thinking about getting Feebee a new home because I thought she would just be too much work. This probably won't happen now, her and Abby entertain each other too well. Abs likes to be chased... and I don't always have time to be the chaser.

We are on day 1 of the MSPI diet.

Breakfast: Quaker Oatmeal with frozen blueberries and a tsp of brown sugar; rice milk
Lunch: Fish Fillets and a cup of applesauce
Snack: Apples, Carrots & Fritos (had to have at least ONE good junk food) oh... and of course my coffee with a little rice milk and sugar.
Supper: Sweet Scrumptious Skillet Chicken , Rice and Peaches.

I attempted to make some home made, bread machine ... bread... but I'm not sure if my yeast was old... or if the recipe I used just wasn't good... but it didn't really rise as well as it should. It has been awhile since I made fresh bread so it's possible I just 'messed it up'... it couldn't possibly be because I was taking care of 2 infants & a toddler... while getting supper ready...

My mom came and watched the girls this afternoon while I went and got my oil changed. My brother works at a local shop and he did it for me. It was nice, we were able to have a decent, uninterrupted conversation for 20 minuets. I haven't had such a nice chat in a long time. Guess I should get my oil changed more often!

When I came home I went to get the mail and GASP! New mailbox! Tom hadn't told me that he bought & installed a new mailbox. I literally did a double take and had to check to make sure I was looking in the correct mailbox! The mailman was probably equally pleased. Our old one had a nasty habit of opening up and blowing in rain, snow and other things into it. I once found my CPR recertification card a block away... eep.

***Drumroll***................ I got my Beco!!!!! I haven't been excited about something I've purchased in so long! I hope it gets here soon! I managed to find one on sale for 100 dollars (shipping included in that price) ... a whopping 50 bucks cheaper then  the original price. (if you don't know what a Beco is... it's an infant/toddler carrier) It will help me feel closer to each baby, and the best part is that we can use it with Abby too if needed! It can hold up to 45 pounds and is a back and front carrier. The print below is what I got. As soon as it comes I will take a picture of us using it so that you can get a better look.

Well babies cry... as Abby says. I might have to continue this little entry after Tom gets home. I think Kara is done eating and wants to go to sleep now.
