This past week seemed to fly by. The babies have been doing well sleeping at night. Every now and then they wake up, but we have been getting decent sleep so we can't complain.
Calvin and Brayden seem to want to sleep in later in the mornings. They used to jump up out of bed when we went in to get them ready to go to daycare. Now they lay there and pull their blankets over their head. Sometimes after we get them out they will crawl under their crib (especially Brayden). Every now and then they get fussy when we are changing them. As soon as we are done putting their clothes on they are fine. Calvin always tends to take longer picking out a snack in the mornings for the car ride. On several occassions I will have the babies and Brayden already in the car and Calvin is still inside. Sometimes I have to come in and pick him up because he is being difficult. He always resists and gets fussy when I do that, but we can't wait around forever.
They continue to play with their train set everyday. Brayden really enjoys taking the extra track and putting it together on the floor to create a new layout. The other night they completely disassembled the train track on the table.
I had to pick the kids up a little early one day because the daycare ladies daughter had a dentist appointment. This gave us some extra time at night so we took everyone down to the basement to play. We also were able to get on Skype with my parents so they could see the kids. The kids all seemed to enjoy being downstairs since we don't go down that often. There are lots of toys down there that they don't see or play with very often.
A few months ago I bought some toys from Toys R Us and they were running a special where you got a free kids backpack if you spent a certain amount of money. I got a Thundercats backpack. We gave the backpack to Brayden and put some books in it to take to daycare. You would have thought he won the lottery. That boy loves his backpack. When I picked them up from daycare Calvin said "have to share it" refering to the backpack. We now need to pick up another one this weekend.
I took Friday off from work because the builder came out to perform the final review of our house since we are coming up on our one year warranty. It's hard to believe we have been in this house for almost a year. Everything went very well with the review. I wasn't sure if they would fight or argue with anything that I had on the list, but they agreed to fix everything. The guys even stayed and fixed a number of things that morning.
After he left I headed out to Firehouse to get a sub for lunch. I can't get enough of that place. I tried their brisket cheddar sub for the first time. It will also be the last time I get it. It was okay, but not one of their best. I tried Raspberry Coke which isn't good. Then I had some Cherry Vanilla Coke which was good. I finished with old faithful (Grape Mello Yellow).
After getting home I talked to my neighbor across the street. He invited me over to his place Saturday night to play cards and watch football. Then we moved his outdoor playhouse from his backyard to my backyard. He had asked if I wanted it months ago and we just never got around to moving it.
I also got a few things cleaned up around the house and then was able to play the PS3. I have been playing a wrestling game (WWE Superstars) that I bought a while ago and hadn't played yet. I don't watch wrestling, but I did when I was a kid and this game has a lot of the wrestlers from the eighties. It's pretty fun and I'm getting better at it.
I had picked up a new table for the kids when I stopped by Wal-Mart after the gym. This is a Thomas the Train table and is square instead of round. They seemed excited to see it, but it didn't help them eat their dinner.
I also picked up the screws I needed to attach the magnet board to the easel. I was able to attach the magnet board in the morning and the kids enjoyed playing with it later that night.
