playing & sleeping

 
Wednesday's morning shopping trip was to Home Depot.  Thursday I was more aggresive with my to-do list, and I had planned to go Fry's (a big grocery store, for dry goods and other stuff), then the bank, the gas station, the auto body shop (we had a crack in the windshield), Sprouts (another grocery store, for produce & meat), and finally our friend Mike's place to return a casserole dish.  And I hoped to do this all in the 2.5 hours between when the 7:30 am feeding finished and the 10:30 am feeding starts.  Well, I made it through the first four items on the list and it was 10:15, and I was in the Sprouts parking lot waffling about whether to go in or not, because it shouldn't take me too long to run through and get all my salad & barbecue stuff, but also because the happily sleeping kids could wake up and melt down at any moment (as Ella, especially, is wont to do at 3:01 after the previous meal).  I had pretty much decided to chance it when Jaime called and said come home now, someone is coming over to bring us that night's dinner and the kids need to be there to say thanks (in the form of cooing, farting, and generally looking adorable).   So I drove home and it was the better decision as two minutes in the door Ella woke up and explained quite loudly that she was ready for her meal.   Note & re-note to self:  don't push it... these kids will want to eat every three hours (still).   Anyway, this is all just a ramble and an excuse to post a cute picture of the kids in their new rainforest playgym thingy since I sent out word of this blog on wednesday and then promptly failed to post any updates until now, saturday (too) early morning.    We are heading down to Tucson tonight for our first overnight away from home (not counting the hospital).  I hope it all goes smoothly!
