I took some Comtrex last night and this morning and I'm feeling better. I know it's just the medicine, but at least I can function without feeling like my head is going to explode. I don't remember if the kids got up or not last night. I know that I fed Carter around 5:00 and then he went back to sleep. I got up, but just went downstairs and laid on the couch.
The kids were well behaved at Wal-Mart today. We started giving the boys some groceries and allowing them to put them in the shopping cart a few weeks ago. Now we can't stop. Sometimes they get a little fussy because their brother has something to hold and they don't. Brayden really enjoys putting things in the cart while Calvin likes to hold on to things. Carter fell asleep while in the checkout line at Wal-Mart. They don't fall asleep while we're out shopping much anymore.
Got home and unloaded the groceries while the kids waited in the car. Erin made the boys lunch while I finished taking the stuff out of the car. Then I got the kids out. I fed Carter and Aubrey lunch. They did a very good job eating. Then we got them down, changed them and let them play for a while before putting them down for a nap.
Brayden and Calvin said that they wanted chicken nuggets with barbecue sauce and french fries with ketchup for lunch, but hardly ate any. They did manage to eat a decent amount of dada's turkey sandwich. Everything is always better off dada's plate.
We picked up more lighted garland and bows from Lowe's. Erin set everything up on the front porch while the kids were napping and it looks really nice. We also got a lighted wreath and put it on the light post by the driveway.
We picked up some Hershey Kisses since the boys love Hershey bars. Although they don't seem to be too keen on the Kisses. Perhaps it's the shape that throws them off.
I set up the baby gate/play yard while the kids were napping. Calvin and Brayden wanted to be inside and play with the babies. I think they just wanted to play with the foam mats that I put under the play yard. The foam mats are all letters and numbers and the boys would pull up the letters and numbers and throw them out of the play yard.
Brayden was doing flips (sort of somersaults) today. He seems to be all better from being sick. He's not coughing anymore.
Brayden hit Elliot (the cat) in the face for some reason. Brayden isn't really fond of animals. He is kind of afraid of them for some reason. I think Brayden wanted Elliot to go away and he didn't so he hit him. This is something we'll have to watch out for. We have seen Brayden hit Calvin before and immediately try to intervene and stop him.
I took Calvin and Brayden out for a walk in the wagon tonight because Calvin wanted to go for a walk. They each wanted to have a soccer ball and basketball with them during the walk. As we were walking they wanted me to get them some leaves so I did. They would pick up the leaves and throw them in the air.
We thought it would be fun to make cookies and let the boys ice their cookies so we did that when we got back from the walk. We bought the premade chocolate chip cookie mix and let the boys use some holiday cookie cutters to make cookies. Then we took two of the big ones and let the boys use some icing in a bag to decorate the cookies. They did pretty well and didn't make too much of a mess. They really seemed to enjoy it.
Erin gave the boys a bath tonight which is normally my job. I'm still not feeling well tonight not to mention that Erin hasn't been able to give them a bath for a while so it seemed like a good change of pace to let her take care of the bath tonight.
