Coke Freestyle

Carter got up a little after midnight, but went back to sleep after getting a paci.  Aubrey woke up first around 4:30 and then Carter woke up shortly after her.  They were both fed and then put back down until it was time to go to daycare.

I got Calvin in to daycare and it was barely starting to sprinkle.  It was raining harder when I got Brayden in.  By the time I got the babies is was a downpour.  They stayed fairly dry thanks to the car carrier shade and their blanket.  Dada on the other hand was a drowned rat.

I was planning on lifting weights when I got home, but I was so wet that I went straight for the shower.  After that I had breakfast then organized some more in the basement.

I headed back out to do some more shopping.  I picked up a few things for the kids.  Then I went to Firehouse Subs for lunch.  That place is awesome.  Whoever thought of the Coke Freestyle soda machine is a genius.  I only wish that the Pepsi folks thought of it first.  I'm sure Coke has a patent so Pepsi won't be able to have one for twenty years.  Oh well.  I got a 12" sub, but I would have been fine with a 6" sub.  I don't eat at Firehouse very often and I forgot just how much meat they put on their subs.  Definitely better than Subway.  I think Firehouse Subs has surpassed Quiznos as my favorite sub shop.  I got an Orange Sprite and then an Orange Mello Yellow.  They were both quite good.  I think next time I'll go for a Grape Sprite.  The sign said there are more than 120 flavors to choose from.  They can probably keep track of the most popular choices and maybe they will create a new drink based on popularity.  If they're not doing that they should start.

I got home and put the stuff away.  Erin got home shortly after I did.  She only had a half day of work today.  Then we headed out to meet with a prospective daycare lady.  She was very nice and I think we may end up making the change.  We'll take a few days to decide.  Before we make a decision we'll take the kids over and make sure they are comfortable there.

We came back home and I was able to play the PS3 for about thirty minutes before heading out to pick up the kids.  I was hoping to play more video games while I was off work, but I did get some other things done around the house.

When I picked up the kids Calvin had grabbed two sticks that have leaves on them and brought them in the car.  After getting everyone loaded and the car started Calvin asked me to open the door.  He threw out the leaves and then I closed teh door.  Brayden asked for the leaves and Calvin said, "I'm sorry Bray Bray.  Threw out leaves".  About a mile down the road Brayden asked for leaves again and Calvin said "Sorry Bray Bray".  About another mile down the road Brayden once again asked for leaves.  This time Calvin said in a much louder voice "Threw outside Bray Bray, leaves gone".  I couldn't help myself from laughing.  Silly little guys.

Calvin sat on my lap as I ate my dinner.  I took some Fritos and crushed them up and put them in my chili.  Calvin wanted Fritos too and when he saw me crush mine he decided to do the same.  Then I said he didn't have to crush his so he stopped.  He kept dipping his Fritos in my chili. 

Aubrey was sitting up and we gave her a blanket.  She was having the best time playing with the blanket.  She would move it around and pull it up to her face. 

Remember when I said Carter was quite mobile?  We turned our back on him for about ten seconds and he had crawled under the coffee table.  We try to keep him away from the coffee table because he can easily hit his head on the legs or even push up and hit his head on the underside of the table.  When he sees something he wants he puts it in overdrive and motors along the floor.

Brayden got Nerds all over the floor again.  We didn't see who did it so we asked the boys who made a mess.  Brayden said "No" and Calvin said "Bray Bray made mess".  When I asked Brayden if he made a mess he just grinned.

I bought the boys three new books (Opposites, 12 Days of Christmas and Dinosaurs A to Z) while I was out this morning.  I read the books to them tonight and they loved them.  They were so excited to get in bed so dada could read them new books.  I think they loved the dinosaur book the best.

I set up a shelving unit in the garage to act as a pantry overflow.  We started moving some things out there tonight.  It will definitely help to unclutter the pantry in the kitchen.
