Go Get 'em

The babies did very well again last night.  They got up around 4:30 so we fed them and then put them back down.  They woke up again about 6:30.  Carter was the first to wake up.  Then Calvin and Brayden got up shortly after.  Aubrey was the last to wake up.

After eating breakfast Erin gave the babies a bath.  Then we got everyone ready to go to Target and get some shopping done.  We also had to run by FedEx and send off my Onkyo receiver back to the factory for warranty repairs.  I had been meaning to send it back for some time.  The warranty runs out in about six weeks so I needed to get it mailed out.  Hopefully it's back before Christmas.  The receiver is used in the Media room so I would like to have it for watching any movies while I am off work.  I was able to plug the cable box and PS3 directly into the TV so they will still work, but it's not connected to the surround sound.

After FedEx we went to Target to pick up some gifts for my staff and for the daycare ladies.  I had Calvin and Brayden while Erin had the babies.  They were all very well behaved while we were shopping.  I realized that I forgot to get one thing after checking out so Erin stayed with the kids while I ran back to get one more item.  She went over to the restaurant in the store and got a pretzel for the boys.  They seemed to be enjoying it until we stopped at Burger King and I got a hamburger and french fries.  As soon as they smelled the french fries they didn't want the pretzel.

Wrapped presents while the kids were napping.  I have a lot to get wrapped so I needed to get started.  I didn't get that much done before Erin both babies woke up.  Calvin and Brayden were both really upset when they woke up.  Not sure why, but it took thirty minutes or so before they calmed down.  *a

"Go get 'em" is what Brayden kept saying to me when Carter would be off in the kitchen crawling around.  I'm still amazed at how well he crawls.  He was crawling all over me tonight.  He is so proud of himself when he pulls himself up to his knees.

Went back out to Barnes & Noble after the kids got up from their nap.  We weren't sure if we wanted to go today or wait until tomorrow, but the boys made the decision easy.  They were getting rather fussy and our patience was starting to wear thin so we packed everyone up and headed out again.  We bought some oversized dice since the boys really love playing with dice right now.  Brayden couldn't wait until we got home and he managed to get the package of dice open in the car.  Of course the dice fell and were all over the floor, but we eventually found them all.  Calvin calls the big dice "Bray Bray's dice". 

After getting everyone in bed I got back to wrapping presents.  I probably got about half done today.  We'll see how much more I am able to get done tomorrow.  It's amazing to think that Christmas is only two weeks away.
