Obviously I've been slacking in the blog department. It has been a really busy few weeks.
A few weekends ago (2/18 & 2/19) we didn't get any time at all where all the kids were napping at the same time. On Saturday it was Aubrey and Carter that wouldn't nap. On Sunday it was Carter that wouldn't nap. We didn't have anyone come over the entire weekend so it was just us and the kids. We really look forward to the kids napping so that we can get some things accomplished around the house. It's a real downer when they don't nap.
We took all the kids out to Burger King on Saturday for lunch. They have a nice play area in the restaurant so Brayden and Calvin had a great time. They weren't very interested in eating their lunch. They did have their chocolate milk though. We gave them a straw to drink it and they did really well until the end. Calvin decided to tip his cup up and spilled chocolate milk on his shirt and the floor. It wasn't too bad.
We started letting the boys watch a little bit of TV each day. It's amazing how mesmorized they are by the TV. We started by letting them watch some animals from the Planet Earth series. It was interesting when one animal would hunt another animal. We tried telling them that the animals were playing, but I don't think they bought it. Especially when the lions took down an elephant. We told them that they had a few more minutes and then we would turn it off. This seemed to work fairly well. We use the same "you have a few more minutes" when it's time for bed or to go to the store so they know what it means.
On Monday as I was driving to work I noticed the temperature gauge on my minivan was going up. I looked the car over and couldn't see what was wrong. I drove it again on Tuesday and the car did it again. I decided to take Friday off work so that I could attempt to fix the car. I didn't get everything finished so I still need to work on it. We had to alternate days that Erin and I dropped the kids off and picked them up since we only had one vehicle that could hold four car seats. Fortunately we still have my Pontiac Grand Prix which we drove.
Monday night Erin's parents, younger sister's family and one of her aunts and uncles came over. It was good to have everyone over even if it was only for a few hours.
The boys continue to amaze us with their ever growing vocabulary. It's fascinating listening to the things that come out of their mouth. They are certianly smart little guys.
Carter continues to crawl and cruise along couches, coffee tables, and anything he can get stand up next to. Aubrey still isn't crawling, but she has figured out how to scoot on but.
