this and that

thursday night was another wrestling night. lexi borrowed my phone because she "had" to take a picture. it's cute at least. :) i skipped the wrestling match because a) i had felt crampy all day, b) dinner wasn't ready, and c) the last match i went to lasted 2 1/2 hours. this one only lasted a little over an hour, oh well.

since thursday was the never ending day and friday was supposed to be rainy, i made plans to stay in all day.

at one point things got really quiet and i was pretty sure there was no good going on. but sometimes those 15 minutes of quiet is really worth the mess.

here is the mess:

lipstick.

lipstick was also applied to the window, bathtub, and table in her room.

she helped me clean up and all was well.

and i still think it might have been worth it.

another reason for staying in on friday is that i really thought it would be baby day.

 see, my little girls are birthday thief's. addie was born on lexi's 12th birthday (and 10 days overdue), and frankie was born on sister amy's birthday (and 11 days overdue). so friday would have been my grandpa seagrove's 90th birthday, and i just thought for sure that was our day. and we were 8 days overdue. we had a nice, lazy day. both the little girls actually napped, which was nice. right around 3, as christian had left to play basketball and the girls were napping and i was realizing that nothing was happening, i started to get a little stir crazy/depressed. no problem, i called matt, told him i needed some "me time" for a pedi and he said no problem. :)

sarah met up with me and we had a wonderful, very pregnant duo pedi.

(i had gotten a wonderful pedicure the day before addie was born, so i guess i think somehow that might work again. this time i'm 0-2. :( )

the rest of friday night was spent getting christian to basketball practice and visiting with matt, alexis, and the twins. it was nice.

(the twins and lexi also went for a walk with me, went to eat dinner, and did the "cinnamon challenge." if i ever figure out how to do video again i'll upload the video of them. in lexi's words "we threw up like 10 times! it was soooo fun!" we all love our twins.)

on saturday morning i woke up to this:

my wonderful hubby hard at work mopping the floors. he's a keeper. the little girls slept in till 9! that never happens except when daddy is home and awake and ready to take care of them when they wake up.

i went to a fun baby shower for 3 of the other preggy ladies at church.

i got home, put babies down, helped matt put the house back together after mopping (he's good at getting things done, not the best at putting things back together, that's okay, we're a team!), and watched some lifetime movies with lex.

she's got the boy troubles. but she actually talked to me about it and we had a great day.

christian had a basketball game at 4:30. addie has been my game day buddy, so she came with me to get him there early and we watched some of neighbor david's game while we waited. she had fun climbing all over everything. matt and frankie met up with us later.

the rockets played hard and it was a really good game! unfortunately they lost by one point, but it was such a good, well matched and well played game that i thought it was okay. now they are 3-1.

(that means won 3, lost 1, right?)

christian is the blur with the ball.

(i keep forgetting to take my real camera, so these are iphone pics)

after the game we came home and whipped up some baked potato's and all the fixins' and headed over to mccombs for some yummy bbq chicken. after dinner we watched "i don't know how she does it," which was cute.

while there, my friend amy texted that she had a treat for me, so she came over and brought her "labor inducing peanut butter cookies." she says they worked twice for her pokey babies. they are delicious and i've eaten almost the whole plate, so we shall see...

after the movie we read scriptures with mccombs, came home and put 2 very tired girls (and 2 very tired big kids!) to bed (it was after 11), and collapsed into bed ourselves.  i woke up at 5 and now am blogging. for the record can i just say, i love the oprah winfrey network?! dr phil at 5 am?

 yes, please. :)
