monday, feb 13

i'm behind.

story of my life.

but i really want to document these days.

these are really good days.

long and exhausting, but good.

so. instead of making one humongous post, i'm splittling it up.

one step at a time, that's my motto lately!

anywho, monday.

alecia offered to watch the girls for a little while, so i dropped them off around 9 and hurried home to get 'er done. laney had other ideas though, so i cuddled and fed and loved on her for awhile. i know, it's a tough life, right?! :) the big achievement of my little-girl-free-time was that i got delaney's laundry done (and some other laundry too). newborn laundry takes soooo long because everything is so little and they have lots of blowouts, but i was able to get 2 weeks worth done, so yay!

i picked the girls up before naptime at 12:30 and we headed for our first target trip with the 3 littles! alecia would have kept the bigger girls, but i wanted to dip my toes gently into the life of a mama of 3 3-and-under. addie didn't want to leave alecia's house, wouldn't put her shoes on and we couldn't find her socks. d started crying as we were leaving, so on the drive to target she and addie cried in tandem. franks was sitting there like, what's wrong with these two?!

thankfully by the time we got to target, all was well and we had a delightful trip. i finished up my 14 days of valentines shopping (in the nick of time!) and bought the little girls valentine cards for their party. i got home, put the girls down, and by that time christian was home from school. i don't like to nap when he's home, so no nap for me.

(middle of the night sunday night with sickie-poo)

delaney was super stuffy and i was starting to feel under the weather too. nothing too bad, but i could tell a cold was a brewin'. frankie started crying (read: screaming) after about half hour in bed, and since it was already like 3:30 by that time, i got her and addie up without either having slept. (this will be relevant later.) lexi had cheer and got home at 6. aaaand since i didn't have anything scheduled on my calendar and it was 2 weeks ago, that's all i remember. :)

 we also worked on some potty training, which she is most decidedly not interested in.

and now that's all.
