Accomplishments

It is amazing how many new accomplishments can happen in one week. So here we go; the boys are 2 months old. We don't have our check-up at the doctor's office until next week so I don't have all the specifics yet. They are chunking up, which I love. They no longer have little stick legs, they are gettin some chunky baby legs. It makes you just want to squeeze and kiss them all over. I am anxious to see what %'s they are in now.

1. Eating like a pig to make enough milk for 2 babies. Check

Cooper( who me?)
Cohen my boy is chillin My next accomplishment was completing Payton's birthday cake before her party. Yes, we made it, barely. Mitch was a huge help stirring up icing for me and figuring out how to get those darn fairies to actually stay standing and to not nose dive onto the table(that did happen a couple of times).
A recipe for chaos is having a 3 year old birthday party at your house. We had a little jumping, a dash of screaming, and a ton of frosting! The kids had a great time and Payton was so excited to have friends to her house. She liked her cake(even though I think all she really liked was getting to eat icing. Pretty sure she didn't care what it actually looked like). The boys got to visit, there were plenty of people who wanted to hold them. Some friends had only seen them in seats or in the car, so they couldn't wait to get the hands on them. That was nice so that most of the family could focus their attention on the birthday girl, since it was her big day. She got lots of assistance with opening her gifts.(the #1 gift was a sucker, that was all she kept asking for) Wish I would have known that and we wouldn't have spent money on her bike!

Our 1 attempt for a family photo opp at the end of the evening.(not to bad)
I was happy we got all 5 of us. Boys happen to be awake and happy and we got the birthday girl to sit still for 5 seconds. This is what you get at the end of the night. A tired chair full. Sleeping boys(after lots of fussing) and a tired 3 year old, getting to watch her new movie. What a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. I know that you are all jealous. We left Sunday for cleaning up Saturday. Hope your weekend was just as much fun as ours.
