I watched the VT-UVA football game late last night on the DVR. What a game. VT sure is looking good. This is the right time of year to play this well. We'll see how they fair against Clemson in the ACC championship game.
The babies got up a few times again last night. I keep waiting for some sort of magic to happen and the babies will just stop getting up in the middle of the night. I can't even remember if we fed them during the night or not. I know that we fed them around 4:30 and then they went back to sleep for a few hours.
I got up and took a shower before Calvin and Brayden woke up. By the time I was out of the shower I could hear the boys talking to each other. "Get up Bray Bray". "Uh oh". *CLUNK* as something is thrown from their crib to the floor.
Brayden's voice still sounds very hoarse and his cough is still somewhat of a bark. Shortly after eating breakfast he started coughing and actually threw up a little bit. We got everyone cleaned up and changed and then headed out to Wal-Mart. "Going SHOPPING!" as Calvin says.
We once again opted for the side-by-side double stroller instead of the snap and go. We went to Lowe's before Wal-Mart since Erin wanted to get some lighted garland to put out on our front porch. Lowe's is right next to Wal-Mart so it is very convenient. We got two 9-foot strands only to realize that we need three. We'll pick another up next week.
We had lots of comments today from folks at Wal-Mart. One lady said to me "that's the second set of twins I've seen in the past minute". I said, "That's because the other set is mine as well". At that time Erin came around the corner with Calvin and Brayden. The look on the lady's face was priceless. Another man that was in one of those scooters said "better you than me. I couldn't keep up with them." Then the lady that was with him (I assume his daughter) said "you can't keep up with much of anything at this point". It was pretty funny.
After getting home we got everyone fed and then let them play for a while before putting them to bed. Shortly after getting everyone to sleep I went out to get a haircut. I get it cut about once a month and even doing that is difficult. Sometimes I have to leave work thirty minutes early just to get my haircut because there is no other time to get it done.
Carter and Aubrey got up early from their nap. I still hadn't returned home from getting my hair cut, but I was on the way when Erin called and said the babies were up and were both fussy. Erin's mom got to our house just a minute or so before I got home. Calvin and Brayden slept for over four hours today for their nap. I actually went upstairs and took a short nap myself while the boys were still sleeping.
Calvin was very fussy again today. I assume that it's the "terrible twos". Either that or he's bipolar. And somehow I doubt that toddlers are bipolar.
Carter and Aubrey have started getting upset if you play with them and then get up to do something. As soon as you walk away they start to cry. I'm sure Calvin and Brayden did this too, but I can't remember. They just want attention.
Aubrey is a very good sitter. If you prop sit her she no longer falls over. She has also become very good at playing with things and hitting buttons on their music toys. Carter continues to crawl all over the place. Sometimes I think he's part turtle. He always wants to crawl over to the coffee table. We don't want him to hit his head on the table so we always move him or turn him in the other direction. But he's persistent and heads right back for the coffee table.
Erin was upstairs tonight getting the babies clothes ready for the week and Calvin and Brayden asked "where mama go?". I said, "Is she by the Christmas Tree?" So they would run out to the living room and check "Nooo". "Is she in the office?" Once again they would run and check "Nooo". "Is she in the bathroom?" "No." After a few more attempts at finding mama they decided to head upstairs. About that time Erin finished and was heading downstairs so they finally found mama.
Carter and Aubrey were sleepy tonight so we kept them up until about 6:20 and then put them down. I hate it when they don't nap well and go to bed early. It really minimizes their chance of sleeping through the night.
Calvin and Brayden got a bath tonight. They still don't like getting washed, but they love being in the water. When Calvin got out of the bath he was upset because his fingers were pruney from being in the water for so long.
