monday night (heading into tuesday) was the longest night ever! at one point (around 11, i think) all 3 of the babies were crying. it was seriously overwhelming. i don't think any of them felt well. addie was waking up periodically all night and would just thrash around uncomfortabley. in my state of exhaustion i gave her some benadryl instead of tylenol (i was just thinking "go to sleep!!!") and that took over an hour to kick in. matt helped and we finally got everyone to sleep around 3, but then laney was up to eat at 4, and i got up to do valentines with the big kids at 6.
long, long night.
i did the 14 days of valentines for the family again this year. i had to plan it all out and have everything ready in january cause i knew i wouldn't be going out after delaney was born. i had it all ready though and everyone enjoyed it. the daily treats were small, heart shaped little debbies, red m & m's, cute socks, etc. just small and fun things to show them i love them. then on valentines day they get one big thing. we also got breaking dawn as a family, yay!
a & c wanted to do their scavenger hunt for their big gift before school, so they got up a few minutes earlier than usually. little laney was kind enough to join us too.
i made them go downstairs and upstairs and out to the garage.
they try to act cool, but they were loving it!
finding the last gift...
a zebra blanket for lexi and a camo hat for christian. :)
of course after the worlds longest night, i couldn't just go back to sleep cause laney had a dr's appt. it was just a regular check-up, but since she was sick i wanted to take her, that's the only reason i didn't cancel it. my friend shelly was hosting a valentines party for the little ones, so i dropped them off and took d to the dr. she looked great and her lungs sounded great. the only problem was she hadn't gained her birth weight back, so i got to make another appt to bring her back for the next week. ugh.
then i headed back to shelly's for some partying. :) it was cute and the kids had fun.
then it was home for a much needed nap!
after daddy got home from work, he took the little girls around for their hunt. their's just tells them where to go, like "piano." that's hard enough for a 3-year-old and 1-year-old to figure out, right?!
frankie's a little slower than big sis.
"the computer?"
a purple fairy dress up set was addie's prize...
and a pink one for frankle-berry-crunch.
they loved them. :)
matt got a casio g-shock (ahem, nerd) watch. :)
we ordered pizza and watched breaking dawn. robin and sydney came over and we all had a good time. matt even watched with me and didn't make any comments about how lame it was.
it was a great day. :)
