Memorial Day Weekend Fun!

We had a really lovely Memorial day Weekend last week! Saturday night we had the grandparents watch the babies so John and I could go watch a UFC fight at Native New Yorker with one of his friends. The best part was the main event. I put some money on a fighter who I'd never heard of because he was such a huge under dog, and if he won, I would win 5x my money. He turned out to be an awesome fighter and dominated all 5 rounds with a TKO to seal the deal. He's my new favorite fighter! On Sunday I made the best pancakes ever! They were flavored with lemon zezt/juice, vanilla, and were super mosit with sour cream/vanilla yogurt in the wet ingredients. They were the bomb. Later we went to a family BBQ, and everyone of course loved to see the girls. Monday was another day of BBQs and family. So fun!

The babies are getting more and more awesome every day. They are reaching for toys, trying to grab stuff, smiling more, and even laughing! Our 4 month appointment is next month, can't wait to see what the pediatrician says about them!

Cloth diapering is still our thing. We took a month long break to use up all the disposables I got at the baby shower, now we cloth diapers while we're at home, but use disposables when we're out or at night time. I'm too afraid that the cloth diapers would leak overnight, I'm certain they would. They leak during the day if we go more than 2 hours without changing. John has been totally on board with the cloth, even though I've told him lots of times he doesn't have to use them if it's too much trouble.

As far as their diet goes...we're still doing milk, and we've had to supplement with formula since they are eating more now (and my supply has dropped slightly). To save money, we get the giant box of Target brnad formula. I've heard good things about the Target formula, and it's almost half the price of name brand! Since I'm only supplementing with it, I figured it's not too important to get the expensivce name brand stuff. They get at least 75% milk, which is fine with me.
Sometimes I can't stand that I have to be away from them so much while I'm at work. These are days I'm never getting back and I just cry thinking about it. It's not that I don't like my work, because I do. It's just that I had imagined doing all kinds of great things with my babies, and I'll never get to do them when I just see them for an hour in the morning and an hour or so at night. I get really down about it.

Passed out halfway through their bottles. They had a long day!

We made a fort to play in!

Ready for a fun day!
