On Saturday, Darin said that he would put all three girls down for a nap so that I could get some housework (laundry) done. I'm not sure who put who to sleep, but Abigail is really enjoying reading her Daddy a story before his nap - she never went to sleep by the way. I guess a 3 out of 4 is good.
Okay, so there are many joys in motherhood, but this is definately not one of them. The twins will go through these crying spells for 2-5 hours at a time and when they get going, there is no stopping them. So, after I had fed both babies, changed both of their diapers & clothes, and then rocked them in the rocking chair, they were still going, I was getting frustrated, not at them, but at me for not knowing what to do to please them. I just had to take a moment for comic relief and snap a picture, that way I have evidence for future reference. Notice the shirt: "I don't have to be good, I'm cute..." I thought these onsies were adorable when we got them from Darin's aunt Bonnie, but if they are going to act like this when they wear them, these onsies might have to go in their baby keepsake box. I don't really think it was the shirt though because they do this on days that they are not wearing that onsie. Have any of you ever had an exceptionally fussy baby? What are the symptoms of Colic? Any advice? HELP!!!
Last night, we got a new NetFlix movie in the mail and Abigail really wanted to have movie night. We popped the popcorn, got everyone their drink of choice: Darin - Mountain Dew, Misty - Diet Sunkist, Abigail - Juice, and the twins - well let's just say that I'm a walking drink machine. We started the movie and about 15 minutes into the movie the phone rang. We paused the movie to take the call. I think Darin was only on the phone for about 5 minutes and this is what he came back to. So much for movie night!
So, I just love these sweaters from The Children's Place - I had to take a picture. I got the girls all dressed up to go to town - we had doctor's appointments. I know, it's a little overboard to dress your kids up to visit the doctor, but when that is the highlight of your week you take the opportunity to show the world how cute your kids are. Sometimes, I just have to find joy in the simple things in life. Doesn't Elizabeth look like a little ball of fun? By the way, for those of you that were wondering where The Children's Place is near Pocatello, there isn't one, I ordered their sweaters online.

Abigail and Daddy built this tunnel in the snow drift. He is such a cool Dad.

As if we wern't cold enough, we got an ice cream cake from DQ.
One big happy family!
Darin and I were on our way out the door to celebrate our birthdays in Pocatello, and Abigail commanded us to "Stop, do not leave this house with out me!" When I asked her what she was pretending to be she said, "I am a Gymnastics Warrior Princess." Of course, I should have known by the outfit. I will try to be more observant next time.
