i had a great day today, which is kind of rare on days that i dont work. and actually, i never even left the house! i woke up early today, around 7:00 - both the babies were awake so i figured i would let frank sleep a little longer and i got up and gave them another bottle...it was still dark out so i thought i might be able to trick them into thinking it was still sleeping time! it worked, but only for a few minutes, by 8:00 they were screaming to get up and tuscan was calling for me through his bedroom door. so i got up with frank and got all the kids changed and he headed down to feed them breakfast while i crawled in bed to catch up on some much needed sleep. i generally average about 5 hours a night and every few weeks that starts to catch up to me and i need a morning to sleep in...so around 945 i crawled out of bed and my wonderful day continued. nothing in particular happened, but i think thats what made it a good day. shortly after i got up the twins were ready for the mid morning bottle and nap. matteo slept from about 1030 till 1:00 and cenzo slept from 1030-noon and woke up wet and upset, he's teething again and is a little feverish, so i gave him half a dose of tylonal and he went right back to sleep, until almost 4:00!! i couldnt believe it! so for a few hours i was able to enjoy just matteo, tuscan was down for his nap too. it was so nice because it is such a rarity that i get to spend time with just one of the twins. they are pretty much on the exact same schedule so that doesnt make for much alone time with either of them.
before frank went to work today i was able to finish painting the livingroom. ill have to wait to see it in the daylight tomorrow to see if it needs a second coat or not - im hoping not! frank and tuscan put away all the lawn furniture and cleaned out the shed....tomorrow is grass cutting day, the last cut of the season and thursday the lawn mower is retiring to the garbage!!
i actually made dinner tonight and it was more than just mac and cheese! it was a stove top recipe, modified to my liking - chicken, cream of mushroom soup, some milk and cheese, brocolli (tuscans fav. veggie) and the stuffing...in the oven for 30 mins...it was delicious! and the twins ate their first oreo tonight - i wish i had some pics - but no camera = no pics :-( next time...
everyone went to bed without a problem tonight, everyone played together nicely all day...never once did i have to raise my voice or yell at anyone. it was awesome, i really wish every day could be like today!
but im off to clean up the kitchen and plop on the couch to watch some tv...and maybe eat a snack, now that we have some food in the house!! ( i got up at 630am yesterday to go to the grocery store before church!)
