Another Busy Saturday

Today was busy, but a really good day!  All three kids slept until almost 8 which was really nice.  After breakfast I took Ethan with me to run some errands.  It was really nice to spend some one on one time with him.  One stop was Toys R Us where he got to pick out a new train and we got Gracyn a new outfit for Avery's baby that she is obsessed with.  Gracyn kept undressing the twin baby dolls and I could not figure out why.  Then, it hit me when she wanted me to dress them before bed.  See, the baby dolls outfits they came in were pajamas.  So every morning she gets them "dressed" which is really undressing them down to the "white outfit".  She was thrilled to get an actual outfit for the girl baby.  She calls the other twin a boy even though it has purple pajamas.

It was another really nice day.  Andy played with Avery and Gracyn outside most of the morning.  Then, we grilled hotdogs and sausages from Sieges and ate outside.  The girls had princess juices leftover from the party so I let Ethan drink his apple juice out of a "pirate" bottle.

After lunch the kids napped and I finally organized the upstairs linen closet that has been driving me crazy.  All my sewing stuff is no longer a mess!  I did not realize how much scrap fabric I have.  Now what should I make... I really want to start a new sewing project now!

After "naps" (Ethan and Gracyn never slept) we went to a birthday party for a friend's daughter.  It was a good time and we got to see several people we had not seen in awhile. 

Then, Andy fed the kids dinner, gave them baths, and put them to bed while I went to the grocery store. 

These days life really is pretty busy!  It is funny because we were talking with a friend today who has two kids spaced the same as ours only they have a 3 week old and a 21 month old.  Things are so busy then and you think when we just get to this next milestone things will slow down and get easier.  In some ways things do get easier and in other ways harder, but one thing is for sure, life doesn't slow down!  In fact, I feel that as the kids are getting older the years are passing even faster.  I feel like I blinked and Avery went from a newborn to a one year old.
