Coloring books

The babies have been doing extremely well the past few nights.  They sometimes get up, but will quickly go back to sleep if we give them a paci.  They have been gwtting up between 3:00 and 4:00 each morning.  We have been feeding them, changing their diaper and clothes and then putting them back in their crib until it is close to time to leave for daycare.  We get Calvin and Brayden up about fifteen or twenty minutes before it is time to leave.  Calvin and Brayden always stand in front of the pantry and pick out their snack for the car ride to daycare.  Sometimes they are quite indecisive so we eventually pick something for them and they have to deal with the choice.

Brayden was fussing on the car ride home.  He wanted whatever snack I gave to Calvin.  So he didn't get a snack for a while.  I stopped to get gas on the way home.  After getting gas I gave Brayden a snack and then he was happy.  I guess sometimes you just have to make them realize that they can't get whatever they want.  It seemed that he realized that this was a "take it or leave it" offer so he decided to take it.

The boys barely touched their dinner, but they ate a good bit of dada's dinner.  The babies ate very well tonight.  They finished their baby food and then were knawing on cookies and Puffs.

The boys were coloring in their coloring books today.  We got some Halloween coloring books on clearance that we let them color in.  Mama and dada were coloring with them tonight.  For some reason Brayden really likes to peel the labels off the crayons.  How will we ever know what color they are without the label?

Only one more day of work then I get a week off.  I kept putting off taking a week off from work because I have been so busy.  At some point you just have to decide that enough is enough and it's time to use some vacation.
