Hello Monday- Great busy weekend!

So, as I have said in the past, I used to cry on Sunday nights knowing that Monday was just a few hours away. Monday meant all my help over the weekend was going back to school/work and I would be on my own during the days. 2 babies vs 1 momma was very scary for me.

Now Mondays aren't that dramatic anymore. It's more like ok, here goes another week. I can do this. Started off good because I woke up first, and the babies slept in. There is just something about that that makes the day go a lot smoother! Then got both girls bathed so we can start this week  fresh!

I now go into Mondays thinking I am super woman and have a list of things I want to accomplish. So instead of bumming myself out when I don't get them done, I just think well I have the cutest little girls who had lots of love and play time this week, heard lots of giggles, got baths and cuddle time, and fed well. And that's really all that matters. :)

My girls may be on overload from this past week. We never really get out of the house besides for church or dropping them off at their nana and papas while I go work. But this week we took them out to Mazzio's buffet for lunch. Bryan and I couldn't remember the last time we went out to eat with the girls and just the two of us. Never happens. But we were SO proud of them! I found myself starting to eat really fast because I knew they were just going to blow! But they sat in the big girl highchairs and was just so fascinated with everything going on around them. Emmalyn never made a peep, Adelyn got a little restless towards the end but still did very well. We were proud parents :)

Then, Friday during the day me and the girls went out with another momma and her girl just a month older then mine and went to the Brush Creek Bizarre. It was so nice to get out of the house, and spend time with another mom. The place was NOT stroller friendly though. It was extremely hilly and bumpy. It was probably funny watching us try to haul the strollers through that place. At one point a lady came behind me to help push me up the hill! But it was fun time.

Then on Saturday we took the girls shopping. Stopping at a few different stores and the girls did awesome. They shopped till they dropped. And also enjoyed our all church picnic Saturday night. And then shopped again on Sunday!

So all in all, the girls had a VERY busy weekend, but did fantastic! I think a new page has turned and I won't have to be such a hermit anymore! :)

LIFE

Well I must say it's been an interesting couple weeks. This week, me and my girls have bad allergies so it's been a pretty cruddy week. We all just want to be held and cuddled. :)  They have been having a hard time napping, and crying a lot. Luckily my mom has helped this week. It's not easy by myself. Tylenol has been our best friend and we all can't wait till it's all over!

Just found out we are closing on our house the day after my birthday! Woohoo! We are very excited. I can't wait till we can get in there and paint, and make it our own. It's going to be great!

I have been getting ready stuff to sell in the Tulsa Moms of Multiples sale. It's my first time selling. That has been pretty emotional going through all the girls stuff they don't fit into anymore or use. I have shed a few tears through the whole process :) Even today loading things up. I left things at home I wasn't ready to part with. Now we just need to get the girls some winter clothes! I hope I find some good stuff tonight.

Labor day we attempted to go to the zoo. After waiting an hour in traffic and it was probably going to be an hour more till we parked, we decided to just go to the park. My girls love the outdoors! We had a little picnic. They were super cute sporting their skinny jeans, ballerina shirts, and cutie sunglasses. I love having little girls to dress up.

I was thinking the other day how their first 3 months of life they HATED being in a car seat. They would just scream the whole entire time. I would dread going anywhere. I realized now they have grown out of that and that I survived that and now they are growing up! Also they are starting to entertain themselves more so I don't have to be with them every second. Adelyns favorite toy is the jumperoo, she goes crazy in that thing. Emmas favorite is the walker that goes around in circles. She will literally RUN in that thing. One time their auntie put a soccer ball in front of her and she would kick it around in circles :)

So I would say I am to the point where people said it would get easier (around 6 months) and I am relieved. I do miss them being so teeny tiny, but they sure are a lot more fun now :)

Once we get into our new house and the computer is not in the babies room I will be able to update more often. I have creative projects I am excited to start and show you. But until then, enjoy this beautiful weather, and your family!

Hello September!

Ok, so I have a minute to write a post. Both girls are up, but playing with eachother in the crib. This will have to be quick! :)

So I am SO excited for September. A lot of good things will be happening! Cooler temperatures, season premieres, and not to mention closing on our first house! Yes, we found one, and it was a God thing.

I was to the point where I was sick of looking and thought I would never find one, EVER. We looked at a house in a neighborhood but wasn't in love with it. On the way out, down in a cul de sac (which are fantastic) my mom saw a "for sale by owner" at a price WAY below what we have been looking at.  I didn't want to leave my realtor behind so we just gave our realtor the information and she called asking if they would be willing to work with out realtor. The owner said they didn't mind so we wanted to make an appointment. I kept debating and was like I dont want to waste anymore of our realtors time if its not the one. They were having an open house on Sunday anyways so Ill just look at it then. My mom said "No! you have to look at it before anyone else!" I wasn't sure because I knew it didnt have vaulted ceilings and that's what I grew up with. So anyways, called realtor back, and went to look at it. Loved the house, the location, the neighborhood and not to mention the PRICE! So we took our family back that evening to look at it, then wrote an offer that nigh, and got a call at 10pm saying she accepted! Also, the lady is leaving the fridge, and the washer and dryer behind which is great because we don't have any of that! Oh, did I mention there is a hot tub? :) Anyways! Inspections went great yesterday. The seller, our realtor, and our family all think its a God thing. So that's a great thing! So pray for smooth sailing ahead!

Although last night I was thinking, We are going to need a vacuum, a lawn mower..... ect. Oh well, these things will come! At least we will have our own house!




Also, the next day found TEETH in my girls mouth!  Both of them! And that was their 6 month birthday!

Can't see the teeth in this picture, but she sure was proud!

Then after September, only comes my favorite month of the year! I am excited, good things happening!

I can't wait to start some new projects for my girls! Stopped at the fabric store yesterday. Stay tuned!

Ready for the fall, so long summer! Gotta go,  the girls are now bothering each other! :)
