Tooth Fairy Recycling

Carter finally got his first tooth a little over a week ago (2/6).  His bottom teeth have finally poked through.

The babies have been doing quite well sleeping through the night.  They also typically go right to sleep when we put them down around 7:00 each night.

The boys appear to have become mama's boys.  They definitely like their mama more than dada at this point in time.  Morning's have become rough for poor dada.  Neither of the boys want dada to pick them up and get them changed in the mornings.  At least they are happy to see me when I pick them up from daycare in the evening.

On Saturday we noticed that Aubrey had two top teeth poke through.  Apparently she didn't want to be equal to her brother for long.  We're still waiting for her to start crawling.  She will sort of scoot when she sits, but she'll only move a foot or so.  We took the kids out to Target and PetSmart Saturday morning.  The kids all had a great time.  Brayden couldn't get enough of the gerbils that were hiding under their wood chips.

After the stores we went to Burger King.  We let Calvin and Brayden run wild in the play area.  They absolutely loved it.  In fact they didn't even eat any of their french fries or chicken nuggets.

After Burger King we came home and got the kids in bed.  Carter and Aubrey once again took a while to finally go to sleep.*a  Carter didn't sleep for very long even though he was the last to fall asleep.  It was a pretty good rest of the day though.  The boys all played with their trains, Hot Wheels cars and monster trucks.

Sunday morning wasn't much different than every other Sunday.  Kids got up.  They ate.  We went to Wal-Mart.  Came home and gave them lunch.  Put them to bed.  Carter and Aubrey fussed yet again and took about an hour to finally put to sleep.*a  At least they slept for longer than they did on Saturday.  Carter was the first to get up yet again.

Erin's parents came over around 2:00.  They agreed to watch all four kids so we could go out and get some dinner.  We went to a relatively new place called The Pita Pit.  It was really good.  Nothing fancy.  It's basically a fast food restaurant similar to a sub shop, but they use pitas instead of sub rolls.  After eating we went to The Fresh Market (really nice grocery store) to get a dessert for the kids.  They had a lot of really good looking desserts to choose from.  We picked up a few and headed home.

The boys barely even touched their dessert, but that's okay because dada ate it.  I gave them a bath and then got the boys ready for bed.  Carter was already in bed when we got home.  They were just putting Aubrey down when we walked in the door.
