First Friend & First Babysitters

We had our first "playdate" on Wednesday with Luke Schlegel. He is only 3 and 1/2 weeks old but he came over to visit. He is being locked up at his house too like we are so Jamie and I decided the three could get together. He is too cute-we love his hair-and Kathryn really liked him! Garrett was just glad to have another male in the house! It was so fun to get to hold and see Luke and we hope he can come over again soon-and that he starts sleeping REALLY good and doesn't give his mommy too much trouble with that nasty reflux!


Today, my mom and best friend, Winno, came over for a few hours to babysit. It was MARVELOUS! I went and got my toes done b/c they were NASTY - even Brad made a comment about them and he NEVER notices things like that. Anyways, I also made a mad dash to the grocery store which was higher on the priority list than a pedicure but -wait - is there anything that should be higher on the list - nope - pedicures come first! We'll eat later!

Mom and Winno did great-it was the munchkins that only slept for 30 minutes-very unlike them. I think they knew I was gone and they could sucker someone into holding them for the afternoon. :) They did fine though I fed them when I got home and then they played a little bit while the 3 of us tried to change the smoke detector battery (Kathryn thought that it was really funny when it would beep) They ended up taking a 2 and 1/2 hour nap after all that - I had to wake them up at 5:30!

Overall, we have had a great week...a few not so great nights at the beginning of the week but we have made some adjustments in the schedule and they are doing better. Garrett slept 8pm-7am last night and K did good too-she cried out at 3:45 for her paci-went right back to sleep and then I had to wake her up at 7:30 this morning! SO GREAT!!! (Tonight will be a nightmare now that I have bragged on them!)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Those are two cute little babies. I am glad that you were able to get out for some me time and a pedicure. It is amazing how good one makes you feel. Miss you.

Ahhh, I can't wait for those nights. I would be happy with 4 hours right now.

I can't believe how big they are getting! Jack and I need to come over and see them again soon. Maybe we will bring dinner one night and have some grown-up time once all the kiddos are asleep. So excited for your pedicure and trip to the grocery store!!
