We headed to SA after the babies ate Wednesday night. Since it was bed time when we got on the road, we didn't let Kirby watch a movie. We thought for sure that she would go right to sleep. Wrong. We had to pull over in Sealy to spank her (really just a pop on her diaper - we promise we don't really beat her!!) because she was throwing such a fit. I'm sure CPS will be knocking on our door after the scene she made in the Walgreen's parking lot. Once we got Kirby under control, Maggie started screaming and did so until we got co Columbus. In case you are wondering, there is NO place to stop between Sealy and Columbus. After that, things calmed down...we are so thankful!
After the car ride, we were a little nervous about the weekend, but it was perfect! Our goal on Thursday was to have all five kiddos (Hadley, Kirby, Elliot, William, & Maggie) down for afternoon naps before we sat down for Thanksgiving dinner at 2, and we did it! It felt like such an accomplishment, and I am sure it was part of the reason that the meal tasted so yummy! Pam did a great job cooking - such a good job that Andy and Jim both gained 4 lbs. (they had before/after weigh ins)!!
The rest of the weekend was just as great - the girls played together so well! They stayed up chatting in their room during nap time and again well after bed time. Next time I want to have a monitor in there so I can hear what 2 and 3 year olds have to say to each other when no one else is around :)
We even got a picture of all of the kids!!
Bottle for William...bottle for Daddy.
Nap for Maggie...nap for Daddy.
