First Afternoon Nap for my Twins

So today, I put my twins down for their first nap at 11ish.

They played and played and the fussed, then fussed...

This usually means either A) They are Tired, B) They are Hungry, C) They have a Dirty Diaper and D) They Just Fuss to Fuss....

If your twins are busy bees like mine....God Help You!!

Twins are indeed a blessing, especially if they are born preemies like mine were.

First Friday with Twin "A" and Twin "B"

Last night, Daddy, Mommy, Twin "A" and Twin "B" drove downtown and listened to some music.

The First Friday event was not all it was cracked up to be.

First off, it was HOT, HOT, HOT!; Second, none of the streets were blocked off so patrons could walk around without fear of being hit by and car; Third, there was not a single coffee shop open and a lot of shops were simply closed! I am assuming these stores are afraid of making more sales...but I could be wrong.

The bands that played, Rumors and The Convergence, I liked. They were having fun, even in the extreme heat. Twin "A", with her teddy bear leash on, climbed up on a bench next to the bank and began rockin out, while her sister, Twin "B" with her puppy dog leash on, stood next to Daddy on the sidewalk and just listened to the music.

Daddy and Mommy had intended to eat downtown, but the heat drove us away..and....our twins were getting fussy..fussy I am sure due to the heat as well.

If anyone from the city council were to read this, I would suggest, even if it is a cost to you, the city, to make this event more comfortable to the patrons by blocking off 10th and Central, using getting two of those blue shade covers for the bands to play under on the sidewalk or at the bank (Walmart sells these blue shade covers), take out the tables used at the Christmas Tree Lighting last year and maybe get some misters around the event. One more thing, it would be nice to have more businesses open. How can this be called a Downtown Event if the majority of the Downtown businesses are closed? Like I stated earlier, are they afraid to make more sales?

Little Sleeping Angels-My Twin Girls-

This morning, I must have turned off my clock alarm. I remember waking up around late 6ish or early 7ish and turning off my clock alarm. It was weird because it felt like I was in a dream.

Anyway, when I finally actually woke up for the day, Twins "A&B" were still sleeping. I walked into their room where Twin "B" was on her belly with her bottom in the air and Twin "A" was on her left side. It was so cute and I just could not wake them up.

So, with that extra time I had, I read My Daily Light and Jon Courson's New Testament Commentary. It was great to read without any interruptions.

Then, as my reading was ending, Twins "A&B" work up, where Twin "A"'s front outfit was wet from a full diaper. After breakfast, I gave them both a bath, dressed them, showered myself, washed their sheets since Twin "A"'s sheet was wet in one spot, blow dried my hair, put make up on and flattened my hair.

After all that, at 11:30 my baby girls were ready for a nap and they are beginning to wake up right now..

Got to go....

Have a blessed day!

Twins and Only One Nap Today

Well,

Today, I but my twins down for a nap around 11ish.

Yeah, they got up at 8:00 this morning. When I heard them getting up, I woke up, after hitting my snooze button several times, make their mush with fruit, got the cold milk ready, then I went to their room, changed their diapers and they ran to the dining room.

We all played outside for a while, then I went inside to make my morning shake, which they LOVE! Oh goodness, if you ever make a morning shake with whey protein, blueberries, banannas and some other fruit, plus water and ice, your twins will probably go crazy for it.

My twins would drink the whole drink if I let them. LOL

Around 10:30 I began making this BBQ chicken wings slow cooker meal for my hubby and me tonight. The BBQ receipe was on this one receipe I found at Meals Matter. I have used several receipes here and have liked some of them.

As I was making this BBQ Sauce and putting this meal together, my sweetie pies were playing next to me and eating Cheerios....Plain and Apple Cinnimon..I did not have any Honey Nut Cheerios.

Then, Twin "A" and Twin "B" went to play in the Great Room and they climbed on the picture window seat. I saw them and asked them to please SIT DOWN...and they did...I was very pleased with them for listening to me.

After their fun on the seat, Twin "A" brought the Charlie Horse Rocker into the dining room and Twin "A" and Twin "B" sat on it together and they just looked so cute!!

Once I finished making my meal, I said, "Okay, it is time to a nap...."

Twin "A" struggled with me while Twin "B" let me put her in her crib without incedent.

But they have been sleeping since 11:30 and it is now 1:15 so they must have been tired...

Hopefully, I can give them one more nap....we shall see....we shall see.....

Have a Blessed Day!
