Sweet Dreams

Sorry, it's been awhile. Things around here have been busy and I've been tired or haven't felt much like writing. I guess that's just how it is sometimes. The girls are both tired and want to go to sleep. Kiley is being held by Tom and is doing the angry pacifier munch. Kara just got done eating and has a half sleepy/milk drunk look on her face. Hopefully she will keep this feed down.

This morning we went over to the neighbors house. Ahhhh the coffee there was amazing. I need that creamer!!! It has opened my eyes to the draw of an entire pot of coffee... wait... do I really need more caffeine? (Some days.. yes) It was a little difficult getting all three girls bundled and across the street alone, especially when Abby decided that the snow looked quite 'munchable' and that I wasn't nearly as interesting. Soooo I handed the twins off to my neighbor and went back for Abby who in my brief run to the house and discovered I was leaving her and promptly planted herself in a snow drift. I then carried a wet, cold and angry Abby into the house. There were 4 infants around the same age, 1 (abby) and 2 older children there.... oh yes and three adults. The coffee was great, the company was fabulous. Kara threw up twice while we were over there, of course she threw up all over the neighbor's couch and kitchen floor. Ugh...

When we left I first ran the babies over to our house, dropped them off, then came back for Abby. By the time we left the snow equipment were out and scooping up snow. I was too afraid Abby would wander off and get hurt by the big machinery so I made for the extra trip. My cell phone was forgotten in the process and my neighbor came by later to drop it off.

Bedtime thus far is not going well. Kara wants to be up and talking, Kiley is cranky and wants to go to sleep but the pacifier keeps plopping out. My friend came over and we had a great time but I'm just exhausted from everything. Thankfully I was able to get my homework done during Abby's nap. My throat is a little sore, I'm tired, cold and achy... I really really hope I'm not getting strep. My brother had it earlier this weekend :(

Maybe I'm just tired....

Kiley and Kara are both holding their heads up very well now. They get tired and will get cranky after so long but they are really working on it. Kiley is my sleeper. She just loves to sleep during the day (and usually at night) She must be going through a growth spurt or something! Kara is my vocal baby. She loves to have interaction and to talk and smile.

Lately Abby has grown more and more attached to me. My mom, sister and I went shopping the other day and she really had a hard time with the knowledge that I was gone. Tom tried everything but just couldn't calm her down. I really enjoyed shopping though and getting out. We had a great time at Hobby Lobby. Kara was a little fussy but did ok. At one point I put her in a basket that was on a shelf and she just sat there, sucking on her pacifier as happy as can be. I took her out of the basket and she started crying again! I found some great deals for my photo taking. I love it. I need a great big tub to store everything in it I think!

We got some finger paints. I'm really hoping that we'll have some time this week to do that. I think Abby will have a great time with that. We made cookies today... we ate far too many of them (mmm they were good though!)

Well I'm tired and the girls are finally falling asleep. Time for me to run. Hopefully they will have a good night. (We've had off and on experiences with this lately) I don't mind if they end up in bed with me as long as they sleep and I sleep! Night :)

"My three little wild children were running around the house, I asked Abby why they all had their clothes off... she looked at me very seriously and said "We're scavengers!" Would love to know where she got that..." (February 2012)

Overheard Abby playing with her Barbies during bedtime: "Fairytopia is dead. Guys don't planick."... a little while later... "Ariel is dead! Planick?... Planick planick!!!!" (March 2012)

Abby was running around in church. I swiftly stopped her and very seriously said "We aren't supposed to run in Jesus's house." Very seriously she replied "Jesus lives in my heart mommy." Point Abby- (May 2012)
