Poop on the floor

No this is not a metaphor... it actually happened. I knew this day would come at some point, but it still shocks you when it actually happens.

Yesterday I got the girls home and decided that it would be bath night (yes, I will admit, we do not do baths everynight. that's what lotion is for!)- only one at a time. Gracie was first because I thought she had a dirty diaper and needed to be changed. It was a fast bath, but it got the job done. After I got her all wrapped up in the towel, I thought I would let her play on the floor in their room before getting her in her pjs (al la natural). I put down a "safe" pad so if she had an accident it would not soak into the carpet. I can't remember if it was before or after Lily was done with her bath, but I looked down on the floor to see how Gracie was doing and this is want I saw:




Gracie was now off the pad, and onto the carpet and she had left a nice present! I quickly picked her up and put her in her crib. I couldn't resist taking a picture so that when she gets older I can remind her of this day!

New subject.

I just love all the cute little dresses that are out for spring and summer. I have decided that the girls will most likely be in one most of the time. They make changing diapers especially easy, and Walt even commented the other day they make getting the girls dressed "a piece of cake". Here are a few pics of the girls in dresses their Mimi got them.

Birthday, Bath & More...

It's hard to recall all that has happened since I wrote last. The girls are "sick-free." I went to the doctor tonight and now I have an ear infection! Anyways, the weekend before last we all packed up in the Jetta and headed down to Brownwood. My great uncle was having a birthday party to celebrate his 80 years! The party doubled as a family reunion since we hadn't seen some cousins in about 6 years. This was also the first time that most of my mom's family met Lily & Gracie. It was a cool, dreary day but we made the most of it. It was so good to see everyone. My mom's cousin has twin boys that are now juniors in high school! It was fun to have 2 sets of "doubles!"

Here is Lauren, Gracie (under the blanket), Dad, Walt & Lily

Sometime last week I was home (alone) with the girls at bath time. I decided to try and put them in the tub together rather than one at a time. Side note: I remember seeing pics of me in the tub sitting in a little round "chair" that had suction cups on the bottom. If anyone knows what I am talking about or where to get two- let me know. Here are a few pics of what followed:


That's the highlights as well as I can remember. I'm sure more happened, but it's late and I am playing the "mom-amnesia" card!

I hope you like the new look of the blog. Thanks to Cutest Blog on the Block !
