Weekly Recap #28

I'm definitely getting into a better groove in the morning with the twins. I'm not as tired in the morning and try to get to bed as early as I can, considering they wake me up at about 4:30am. It sounds awful, but I have gotten used to it over the last few weeks.

I've been looking at the babies lately and noticing how chunky they have both gotten. It's hard to believe that they barely fit into a newborn diaper when they were born. Crazy.

Here's how our week went.

Monday

This video I took of Peytie made me LOL. I mentioned before how both babies totally clam up the second they see me come at them with my phone, and Monday was no different. Peytie was just chatting up a storm that morning, but of course the second I grab the phone, he goes quiet. You can tell the times I think he's going to say something and I pan the camera real close to his face...and nothing. Even tickling...nothing. Makes me laugh to remember that morning.


I've been trying to eat healthier lately, but forgot my lunch on Monday. I stopped by Chick-Fil-A and picked up this Grilled Chicken Cool Wrap. Only 340 calories! Well, the Avocado Lime Dressing does add a but more, but I limited how much of that I ate. So, so good!




This kid!


Look who discovered their feet this week. I'm telling you - this boy was fascinated.


Time to workout with my favorite workout partner!


And then we ate Wendy's in the car at 10 o'clock at night. It was a long day. After running around to pick up some LuLaRoe, then stopping at two grocery stores, it was so late before I realized that I hadn't eaten dinner. I had another wrap (which was so gross - never again), but Brayden wanted a Jr. Cheeseburger. YOLO, right?!?!


Tuesday

My morning view! I love getting them dressed in the morning and spending some time with them when they're well-rested after sleeping through the night. Perfect start to my long day.


They both stare at each other now. Peytie stares more than she does though.


And then holding hands. Always holding hands.


They love seeing their Gram in the morning too! (She's the milk lady, after all!)


Then coming home to this gorgeous face. Perfection.


Wednesday

Good morning!!!




Wednesday was also a long-awaited dinner with easily one of my favorite girlfriends. We caught up and laughed and laughed. It was a really fun night. We went to Dog's Paw Brewing in Elgin. It was a first for both of us. I read really good reviews online and had to check them out. Well - they DID NOT disappoint.




Thursday

Happy feet!!!



The happiest girl.


Effortless beauty.


I took this picture of her blue eyes because I have a feeling that they won't be blue much longer. They're changing a little (I can now see brown tones) and they'll likely be all brown sooner than I would like. I never want to forget how gorgeous and blue her eyes were.


Friday







The littles!




Saturday

Saturday was one of the busiest days I've had in a LONG time. Karate, strawberries, lunch, waterpark, and dinner. The day was all about Brayden.

But first - there was these two!








Sunday

Sunday started with my SECOND 5K of the year! I ran the Hot to Trot 5K in St. Charles. I'll do a full write-up another day.



 
Their first side-by-side Bumbo pic!


I've been wanting to read more books to the twins, so I started with these two this week. I didn't want to do a different book everyday, I'll probably stick to 2-3 each week, so I've read these a few times this week. I'll pick new books for next week.


Until next week, friends!

Weekly Recap #27

So many good things going on with us. The twins turned 5-months-old on Monday, and we returned from our first road trip with them on Monday too. I can't wait to go on another one.I'm thinking St. Louis, Cleveland, or Cincinnati (after the gorilla incident at the zoo, we may hold off on that one for awhile). Those that know me know that I love to travel, and I have a few more trips in my for the next year. I'm still debating taking Brayden to Disney World again this fall, and in March I'll be taking Jazz to the Dominican Republic for her 18th birthday/high school graduation combo trip. Looking forward to ALL the travel in my future.

For now, here's how our week went.

Monday

Waking up in the hotel room. (This was before Brayden really realized that the babies were next to him. LOL)


5 months old!!! Princess Peach is already a little sassy.


The Milwaukee Zoo! Post still to come on our weekend in Milwaukee.


Approximately 30 seconds after we pulled out of the zoo parking lot.


Tuesday

Both babies were sleeping when I left for work. :(



We needed groceries so Brayden and I went to Sam's Club after dinner. We couldn't pass up a berry sundae!


Wednesday

So much love for these babies!



They LOVE playing in these jungle gyms. It's a daily activity for them.


Thursday




Look at how different their skin tones are. Peytie doesn't look so dark, but compared to Lauryn, he's my little brown boy!


So I started a new job a few weeks ago and it's going GREAT. One of the things I love the most is all the FANTASTIC restaurants in the area. Mmmm...tacos!!!


Friday



Peytie is feeling so much better. His voice is starting to sound more like his ol' self.


Friday was also National Donut Day. Someone sent donuts to the office, so of course I had to participate!


Saturday



 She is so pretty. I can't even!!!


Brayden and I hit the library to pick out some new books for the month.


My husband and I also headed to JC Penny to pick out some window coverings for the house. We got a total of FOUR different kinds. Our salesperson, Julie, was SO AWESOME. She really helped us pick out what we wanted and even agreed to come in tomorrow to ring us up because we would get a bigger discount. She was amazing. We picked out vertical fabric blinds for the patio door, cullular shades for our master bedroom, roman shades for my master bath, and faux wood blinds for the first floor. I CAN NOT WAIT for it all to be delivered!!!


I can't help posting pics of this pretty little lady. She is so photogenic.


Sunday

Someone can afford to skip a few meals. #justsayin





Spent lots of time outside on Sunday too.


Look at all the weeds we pulled out of our front garden. YIKES! They grow like trees!


These flowers were from hanging baskets we had last year. The seeds must've blown all over, because now they are growing on the ground. They are so pretty, I don't want to get rid of them.


We also have this behemoth growing in our backyard garden. We don't think it's a weed, but I planted so much last year, that I have no idea what this could be. We're gonna leave it alone for a few more weeks to see if something edible starts growing.


Tomorrow I start a new weight loss challenge group and I can't wait to get back on track. I "treated myself" a few too many times this last week.
