Babysitting the boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!











I babysat the boys.....I wasn't too nervous about it but I did have a lunch date. I still wasn't too worried about the lunch date either because my friend Evelyn could have one baby and I could have the other one. Well to start off our adventure, we decided it was too cold for these babies and they needed coats. So off to Winners we go. Things went well until check out. Noses were running clear to their lips and both had stinky diapers. No one had a kleenex so Evelyn goes off to the bathroom to get toilet paper. But she leaves her purse. Now I have 2 carts, 2 babies, 2 purses all to watch. I was getting more stressed by the minute. The lady in front of me sees Grayson's nose and starts digging for kleenexs. She finds a package and hands me one. I say to her do you have another one I have 2 babies. She tells me I need the whole package. Then it was my turn to pay. Grayson is standing inside the cart and I move it up maybe 2 whole inches and he falls backwards into the cart smacking his head. Wailing like crazy and I am feeling guilty very guilty. The lady in front of me picks up Grayson and is cuddling him. Harrison is now crying. The checkout lady is holding the receipt for me to sign. I have no idea how much I signed for. Evelyn comes back and says I heard the crying and wondered if it was our babies. Then we have to haul those babies to the car and get them into their car seats....What an ordeal. I hate car seats. I much perferred whatever I did for my kids.








We then go to Moxies for lunch. I change both babies and we get seated and now they are hungry. I empty out the diaper bag for spoons couldn't find them so we ask the waiter for them. Feed them some applesauce and order them fries. They really couldn't eat the fries. They kept choking on them. So we try the crackers and bottles. Needles to say, if I had babies I would be very skinny because out of that meal I may have had 3 or 4 bites and a couple of sips of pop... It wasn't the most pleasant meal. And I feel sorry for Bree and all the work she has to do to do anything.........Next time I will stay home. Much easier and much more enjoyable. But they are the cutest things in the whole wide world.








Look close at the Santa claus picture. Do you recognize Santa?????












Barrett is home tomorrow night......

What would I do without you! I agree with carseats- they suck! ahh you did a good job- I just felt bad it was such an ordeal! Bad timing for setting up the party. They love their grandma lots- you saw him smile tonight when you picked him up!

I'm glad they like being with you. We do get comments whenever we go out. Last time we went to moxies we both ended up holding a bottle for them and eating with one hand. We heard a few "now that is multi tasking!"

Wow, what an ordeal!! I get looks of craziness EVERY time I go in public with my kids. I can't IMAGINE having twins. Well done. Oh, and if you're still feeling bad about the cart - talk to my mom... Kienna broke her collarbone falling out of a cart. (That's all I'm going to say about that)
