Out and About

It's been almost four weeks already. It seems like just a few days. Everyone has asked if I am getting tired of being at home all the time. No, surprisingly enough. I guess it's because there is always so much to do in a day at home. It seems like even with Mike helping a lot and my mom being here, there are always babies to feed, diapers to change, babies to comfort, stuff to clean up, and laundry to do!

For three weeks I went almost nowhere. We had one big outing to the doctor and one to our friends Kevin and Julie's house to see their new baby and have a big sister party for Maggie's friend Bethany. Here are the girls with their new friend Madelyn. They are just eight days apart! I can already see the days of playing house and tea party and all sorts of other girly things.

The big sisters are proud of their new babies!

Recently though, we have been out and about a lot! Thursday Mike and I took the babies to Target while Maggie and my mom were in Rochester. We needed to stock up on diapers. These babies use a TON of diapers. They were both very good and slept the whole time. They both started crying on the way home. When we got back, we discovered that not one, but both of them had had a major poop explosion which got all over their clothes and car seat things. More laundry to add to the already massive heap. Friday Mike and I actually got to go somewhere alone! It wasn't actually as exciting as it sounds. We had to go to the pharmacy but on the way back we stopped at Dairy Queen. YUM! Saturday we took the whole crew to the mall. We ate dinner at California Pizza Kitchen. The lady looked very confused when I told her we had three adults, a little girl that needed a highchair and two babies. It took her a few minutes to arrange the table to fit two of those baby sling things around it! All the girls were happy and/or sleeping the whole time. Maggie enjoyed her time at the mall play place and I enjoyed being out in public. On Sunday we even made it to church where again, the babies slept the whole time. It was nice to be out of the house, but a little draining too. I think I've had enough outings for quite awhile. It is a lot of work to get everyone ready and out of the house plus all the challenges of getting them around and keeping everyone happy once we get there. And I know this is only the beginning, what will it be like when they are 1 and 3 years old! Ahhh....
