A Day with Layla and Aidan

I decided that it would be interesting to explain a typical day, or boring to probably EVERYBODY but me but this is my way of keeping track of their life which i can later have all of this documented! Anyway, here is a typical day for Layla and Aidan: (the food may change soon due to them arriving at the 6month mark the end of this week and ready for more variety!!)

830-930AM-- Babes wake up. (Finally Kendall is tired of getting up to give the kids a pacifer, i am usually gone by this time at class or at the gym depending the day)
9:30ishAM--Breakfest is served, a nice hardy helping of rice cereal mixed with formula and a little juice to add some sweetness. Then they relax with some spongebob till their tummies are settled.
10:30AM--Babes tummies have settled-1 Book read(if im home) and then they can play in their play center saucer thingys.
12-1PM--Babes are put down for a nap somewhere between this time frame, they nap in their swings, just because i feel it is a nice fun time for them. haha.
2:00ishPM-- Lunch time, Babes now enjoy a nice bowl of mixed grain cereal, also mixed with formula and a little juice for sweetness. They then have to wait a little bit and then are played with, either in their saucer, or walked around the house, play on a blanket, or enjoy looking out the window at students walking by.
3:30-4:00--Put down for another nap somewhere around this time, they usually wake up right before i go to work at 5 if it is a week night.
6:00ish--Dinner time, served a nice bowl full of oatmeal, mixed the same as the others.
630-945--Playtime, power naps, and fun with us big people(i work till 9 except weekends so not so much me:( )
9:45- BATHTIME! Kids are washed, dried, powdered, lotioned, swaddled, and given a bottle before bedtime.

awww bliss for us to relax and well ok, not relax just work on the homework from classes, and do our online classes before assignments are due at midnight.
(This is a typical day on average, remember that i may not know what goes on when Kendall is here and i am at work and class...hehe.)

Mushy Snow!

Today it is well above 40 degrees, and we all here are breaking out the spring clothes, it is waaaarmmm! :D A whole lot better than teens and - degrees as we have had for the past month! Our heat bill reflects this at 217$ for last month, with an average of 15degrees, that really SUCKS! Anyway, Laylabear and Aidanbuckaroo went outside with me today to get their first real look and feel of snow. They weren't too enthused. Here are some pictures.

Layla getting a chance to have some fresh air!Think her tongue is out because she wants to eat the snow, silly girl!
Aidan staring at all that white stuff....He is probably wondering why the heck he cant roll in it!
Aidan and me, aren't we such a cute pair? I love my little man!
Ms. Layla and me, aren't we such pretty gals? :D haha, all the snow is melting so now the streets and sidewalks are about 3 inches of slush and flowing water, GREAT to walk in let me tell you!

Guilty.

Well, as everybody HAS to know, the Colts won, yes they whooped the Bears and i cannot be any happier(sorry for you bears fans...you understand, a fan has to be happy when their team WINS!). Kendall and Gary had a seat at Lovejoys throughout the game, so that left me with the kids to hangout and watch the game, i was cool with that because i would have rather been in the safety of my own home if they wouldve lost, which they DIDNT! Anyway, Nikki stayed around to watch, and i also had my neighbor friends stop by too, Laurel and Craig. It was nice to just hang out and even though Layla and Aidan couldn't stay awake the whole superbowl, they did their best. haha they were their for the end thats all that matters! During the game, i did something that i usually yell at the boys for, yell at the TV when excited, there is nothing wrong with this EXCEPT when Aidan is in the room, for some reason enthusiastic sports yelling petrifies him and scares the little guy, and when somebody yells, his eyes get HUGE, then his little face wrinkles up, and he lets out a horrible little scream and begins to cry. This brings us all to him going "nooooo" "its ok" "shhhh" "awww" "soooorrry bucko!!" Well, yesterday, i am the guilty one, i am the one that got to excited and therefor Aidan let me know with his scream. He usually settles down after a few seconds but it is the saddest little thing to witness, and worse when i was the one to begin it! On a very good note, Kendall just walked in to show me that he got a 100% on one of his tests, WHEW i cannot say i have done that in college! :D
( i liked the animals commercials, the gorrillas, the crabs, and the lions, and the dog for budwieser...hehe if you remember those you know what i am talking about)

!!!GO COLTS!!!

Are you ready?? We Are! :D

Super Layla?

Notice in this picture that Layla has somehow turned her bib around, into more of a cape? I asked her how that was helping catch the druel and this is the look she gave me,"What do you mean? Aren't i cute?"

Teddy Bear Club!

This will be the last time these two probably wear these outfits, as you can tell Aidan is looking a little big in them! But the little logo says "Teddy Bear Club", and i just think they look so darling as two little teddy bears! We got these at the twin sale last march in colorado, hopefully we can go again this year, get some more clothes in bigger sizes, i should probably look into it and see if they would let us bring anything to sell or if it's just for members, its a ways to drive to be a member, too bad though i think it would be good for me to have other mothers of multiples to talk to and hang out with, since they understand the work and need for a little freedom haha!

Groundhogs Day

Well, it seems as though Mr. Groundhog did not see his shadow, meaning that their may be an early spring. somehow i want to wave the bs flag at the little guy when i look outside and see a remaining 2 feet of snow still on the ground, which has remained there since before Christmas since it has not risen over 32 degrees since that time, and we keep getting snowstorms weekly. I also find it hard to believe Mr. Groundhog because right now with the windchill it is -7 degrees, warmest its been all day yes, however last night they recorded it as low as -36 degrees. Oh i wish i could see spring, its my favorite season, i just have the feeling it may be until June before the snow stops and melts. sighhh, till then, enjoy the beauty of the white powder and fill up on hot chocolate! :D On a happier note, i lost 3 pounds this week,(outside the ordinary Fluctuation of 3 pounds daily). I guess eating better and working out 3x a week really pays off!

Love My Brother/Love My Sister!

mmm Watcha Eating?

Layla being her happy, silly self in her play saucer!
Aidan flashing his flirtatious grin, as he does so often.
Well, Layla and Aidan are really getting interested in what WE adults are eating, they stare, open their mouths, smack, and just act like they really want a bite. Very cute, but i dont think they would enjoy enchaladas right now! Now and then we will let them have a little lick of something depending what it is, and how hot it is, they usualy get the look"what are you thinking, this is very weird tasting!" haha. They both eat their cereal pretty good now, we have a great routine. Aidan has learned to open his mouth wide for each bite, Layla on the other hand is like hahaha get it in my mouth and then ill laugh to spit it all over, frustrating but how can we be mad too long at such a cute smile? Very silly kids, and their personalities are soo adorable, can you believe they will be 6 months in a little over a week!?!?! SHEESH! I have already packed away another box of clothes, and filled their dresser with 6-9 months, amazing how fast they go through clothes!

Hmmm, what are those things?

Although Aidan still cannot stretch far enough, or atleast discovered he can stretch far enough to hold his little feet like Laylabear, he sure is fasinated by them. He always lifts his feet up, holding them up in the air, well like here in the picture to just watch his feet, and his toes wiggle. :D
