After church Melanie Watson invited us to eat lunch with her and Chloe and her parents. Her husband Ron was home with baby Claire, the little baby with trisonomy 18. They rotate Sundays going to church and staying with the baby. We went to Texas Roadhouse which was a great fit for Haley since they have peanuts. Melanie's Dad is a real baby guy so he held Emily the whole time while we were waiting for a table. The odd thing was that Emily did not mind when I handed her over and she was happy to be with him the whole time, she really liked him. He has a little bit of a beard so she was fascinated with that for a while. She does not smile at just anybody anymore and is starting to get nervous around strangers so I was really surprised. Haley and Chloe sat next to eachother during lunch and Haley didn't need the Ipad at all. We are slowly weaning her away from that thing!
After church we came home and put the girls to bed. Emy must have still felt fresh from her sermon nap because she was not going to sleep in her crib. The problem was she wasn't crying either. She kept standing up and cooing and talking to Haley which kept Haley awake and ended up being way worse damage than if she had been crying. Finally I just took her out of there and put her in the swing where she fell asleep after a bit. Neither of them really fell asleep until almost three and we ended up waking Haley up at four so that she would be able to sleep for the night.
We had invited the Creech's over for dinner so we got stuff out for tacos and made Mexican rice around five thirty or so. They were supposed to come at six but she was waiting for her cookies to finish in the oven so they didn't arrive until closer to six thirty. It worked out because by the time we had finished eating dinner and dessert it was time for the girl's bedtime. I put them in pajamas and put them to sleep and then we played Cranium with the Creech's, boys vs. girls. The boys won.
MONDAY David did not have to work so we had him for the whole day. The girls slept in until about seven thirty and then I brought them back to my bed to cuddle. Haley is super great to cuddle with and even falls back to sleep but Emily is super loud and crawls around. To be honest, Emily ruins it, haha. I made them waffles for breakfast and them dressed and started laundry. David played with them while I took a shower and got ready for the day. Then he took worked on the lawnmower a little while and took a shower with Emily. After that he played with the girls while I kept going with the laundry and cleaned out the desk. We ate lunch a little while later. Emily had some yogurt and Haley ate some slices of Kraft cheese. These girls really love dairy. After lunch we played just a little while longer before the girls got tired and went down for naps.
They both slept pretty well, actually, so did David. He fell asleep on the couch while I folded laundry and arranged to meet some people to sell a few more items. We had got an inquiry about the lawnmower I had posted on FB so I had David call the guy and talk to him. He said he didn't have money right now, but he was hoping we would be interested in trading for a powerwasher. David quickly burst that balloon, but it was alright because he said he would have money by the end of the week. David said he wanted to make sure everything worked before the guy came to look at it and when he tried to run it, it would not start! He finally discovered it needed a new air filter. Then when he got it running he could not get the blades to keep turning. It is one of those fancy lawnmowers that will run separate from the blades. Anyway, he took it apart and found the defective part. I looked online and helped him by researching forums. Apparently, that is a common problem with this mower. Anyways he found the part online, bought it for just under twenty-five dollars and the guy is going to come look at it later this week when the new part is installed.
While David was working on that I was playing with the girls but they were starting to get hungry so I gave them a snack while I started making dinner. We haven't gone grocery shopping in a while so I just gave them some Raisin Bran Crunch cereal and they picked out the raisins. I made meaty manicotti for dinner and we had that and then we quickly started straightening up the house because we had a MOPs informal gathering at our house tonight. It was just a meeting to go over everyone's progress and play games. There was cereal all over the floor from the girl's snacks so I was cleaning that up and David was taking folded laundry from the den to people's rooms when the first girl arrived fifteen minutes early! I don't mind people arriving early, but fifteen minutes!! She ended up taking chairs to the living room for me so it worked out.
David gave the girls baths and then they watched Dora in the girl's room. Emily was getting sleepy so David turned off all the lights and put the volume on low and let Haley keep watching while he cuddled Emily and gave her a baby massage. She eventually went to sleep and then when her movie was over he put her to bed too.
Haleyism:
Haley kept trying to convince David that she and Emily were "all done" in the bathtub so that they could go watch Dora. He said she kept saying, "I done Daddy, Emily is done."
Emilyism:
Emily likes to bite and now that she has teeth it really hurts.
