Grammie (Erin's mom) had a birthday on Saturday. We went over to their place for brunch. Carter was standing holding onto the coffee table and fell and hit his head. I was actually reaching to grab him when he slipped. It looked like he hit right across his forehead, but it was apparent a few minutes later that he actually hit just next to his left eye. It was bruised, but it wasn't too bad. He obviously cried for a bit, but it didn't take long and he was smiling and happy again. As a matter of fact he headed back for the coffee table, but we didn't let him near it again for obvious reasons.
The boys were outside almost the entire day. They were blowing bubbles and playing with chalk on the sidewalk. Brayden would take a few steps and then swipe his hand down and make a line with the chalk then take a few more steps and make another line. They also really enjoyed just wandering around outside and looking at the birds and trees. They had a great time picking up pine cones and throwing them. It was only about 50-degrees, but it felt warmer in the sun.
I had my first bacon maple donut and it was really good. There was a local donut shop not too far from Erin's sister's house so they picked some up when they came over. It reminded me of when I was a kid and we went to my grandmother's house (dad's mom). We would get up really early and go to the local donut shop for a donut and chocolate milk. It was great.
We ended up leaving late. Our plan was to leave by 11:15, but we left closer to 1:00. The kids all slept during the car ride home. When we got home the boys went down for a nap, but the babies didn't. The babies got really fussy later so they went to bed early.
Sunday morning Carter and Aubrey ate some of Calvin and Brayden's french toast.*m We would break off a small piece and giving it to the babies and they were gobbling it up. After a little while we headed out for our routine shopping trip. The babies actually fell asleep on the way to Wal-Mart. The kids were all really good while we were out. Shortly after we got home the babies got a bottle and were put down for a nap. The boys didn't eat much of their lunch, which has become the norm. The boys were put down for a nap and they went down rather quickly. The babies were not as easy. We kept trying to get them to nap and eventually we just got them up out of bed. We gave them another bottle and played with them for a while before putting them back to bed. This time they actually went to sleep.
Erin's parents came over Sunday evening. The babies didn't sleep long, but at least they went down for a little bit. We were able to get some things cleaned around the house while they were down. I went downstairs to clean and ended up laying down and falling asleep because I was so tired. I was awaken by Calvin coming downstairs to see me. We played for a bit before heading upstairs. We played for a while longer before dinner. The boys continue to play with their train set and Hot Wheels cars everyday.
The babies went to bed early again since they didn't really nap. I gave the boys a bath before they went to bed. They like to run wild upstairs before getting in bed. They run between all the rooms which we don't mind as long as they don't go in the babies room. When they try to run past me I grab them and do flips and things that really gets them laughing. Eventually they calm down and go to bed.
