We had an absolutely amazing time!


Wow, wow, wow!
These girls are just so incredibly fun and so sweet. We had a great time at the park. They went to bed easily and we didn't hear from them until 7:20 this morning. Of course, I checked on them every hour, so I barely got any sleep. I was so nervous they would wake up and be scared. But they made it!
This morning we woke up and made chocolate chip pancakes together. They were very helpful. They also made their beaded necklaces this morning. They worked so hard. The necklaces came out darling. The sleepover was a huge success!

Things I learned:


  • There will be more fingerprints and beads and pieces of toys and sand around the house than I can possibly keep up with. I'm going to have to chill out. Enjoying the girls is more important than keeping the house picture perfect.

  • I have to figure out when to brush my own teeth, take a shower, and do the dishes. Moms, when do you do those things?

  • Being a mom is exhausting. It's constant. Fun, and worth it, but exhausting.

once they get more comfortable, you'll be able to pop a video in and hop in the shower. i leave the bathroom door open and my boys some in and chat sometimes :)

also, my dustbuster and wipes are my best friends!

Awesome! And to be honest - sometimes you don't get a shower! Ha! I agree that wipes are one of the best things to have around with kiddos!

Going from zero to two kids is a huge change. I just spent three days with David and Matthias and I'm exhausted. I love time with my nephews but it's good to get back to my quiet life. I'm so glad it went well. Hang in there!
