This is How We Do it

Why is it that blog post titles come to me in the form of songs?  I dunno... especially considering this one is a 90's rap classic.  Of course I can't think of anything current... cuz that would imply that I have time to listen to music.  Yeah right!!

At any rate, I thought I'd write a little about how things get done around here.  I'm sure there will be plenty of times I say "I don't remember ____"  or "I have no idea how we survived those first few months", but at least I'll have something documented for the kiddos.

Getting in the car is no small feat.  However, staying home day after day is sometimes worse.  So, at least once a week we load up and go for a drive.   We usually end up going through the drive-thru somewhere for breakfast or a drink, and then we head to the old part of McKinney to look at houses.  Jack has come to love this as much as me.  He'll even point to a house and say "that's pretty."  Love him... he's definitely my kiddo!!

And one time, he even spotted this out his window.  Seriously??  Now, that is some yard art!

Surely you see the horse, right?

When two babies are fussy at once... there's only one solution.  

Ummm... is that spit-up on my shoulder?  Why yes, yes it is.  

There's about a 45 minute stretch everyday where all three boys are sleeping at the same time (from 1-1:45).  So, I know what you're thinking;  I sit down and read the latest Pottery Barn catalog or catch up on my DVR.  Ha!  No... I make bottles!!  By noon each day, my dishwasher is running so that as soon as I put Jack down for his nap, I can begin the following process:  

7 bottles for Colt and 7 for Luke

half-way there..

and there they stand like little soldiers until the same
time tomorrow when I'll make 14 more.

Even Jack gets in on the action of changing diapers...

taking the diaper to the "dump"... aka the diaper genie

Here's our breakfast routine.  By this time, the little boys have had their 8am bottle and are alert and rested enough to sit for a bit in their Bumbos.  We listen to some kids' songs on my iPod and I do my best to sing and dance enough to get some smiles.  Jack usually just says "No dance, Momma."  :(  Is he really embarrassed my me already?

We try and go for a walk at least once a day... although with the weather getting warmer, that might have to stop soon.  But when we go, this is what our caravan looks like.  Most of the time, I'm in the middle pushing the little boys and pulling Jack in the wagon.  You should SEE the looks I get from people I pass along the way.  I would love to know what they're thinking :)

One day at a time.
