Our neighbor E invited me to a Bible study yesterday morning. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go as the thought of a Bible study with 3 young children seemed a bit overwhelming. But I decided to give it a go and if it didn't work out we just wouldn't go back. E actually came and picked us up in her van (somehow we got all 5 kids into it- since all of them were in carseats) The lady's house was only about a mile away so it wasn't far. There was another little mom there with her little boy who was 18 months old. He was a little more shy and I think Abby was a bit overwhelming for him at first. It was really nice that she had someone her age there to play with though! She is also expecting at the end of August so between E's 2 boys and baby girl and my Abby and 2 babies there were 7 young children there. It was a hectic Bible study but honestly... there aren't many that are willing to allow your children to be in and amongst you. Which brings to question... why not? Now obviously we didn't get as many chances to 'dig deep' but maybe we should be having our children watching us meet with people over the Bible more often? Just a thought...
K&K are still really fussy. It took me almost 30 minuets to do a 10 question quiz yesterday. It was really frustrating!!!! Not to mention that I was sorely sleep deprived yesterday. I couldn't sleep during Abby's nap because A) Babies were up and B) I had a mountain of homework to tackle. (One of my classes is trying to kill me, I'm sure of it!)
Later though Abby must have sensed that I was dragging. I put the babies in the nursery and just laid down on the couch. She thought we were playing a 'ni night' game. So we laid on the couch, she grabbed a blanket and we watched a few 'toons' while she drew 'preeties' on her little magnet board thing (can't think of the name) She managed to do this for almost 45 minuets! Never in the history of Abby has this happened before. I'm so thankful she did this because even if I couldn't sleep I really needed that time to just lay down.
Ok I need to get back to homework :( Tom's mom is coming up today. She is going to watch the twins while Abby is at the doctor's office tomorrow with me. Hope she doesn't mind my messy house! It's really really really low on the priority list right now.
Her lion needed to lay next to K&K. We picked that up for her the other day at Hobby Lobby. Since I was unable to get her anything for VDay I thought this was perfect! It is a pretty cute Lion.
