New kicks

*warning*... picture overload

First, this has been a fabulous weekend!  My brother and his family and my best friend from Florida came in town. Second, I have some wonderful pics of Max and Claire!

Mom and I took Max and Claire to get a new pair of shoes.  We went to Sills, a place that I went to when I was a kid.  The store looks the exact same!  Green leather couches, a fountain, and the same clerk!!  It was awesome!
I can't believe I did it, but I bought her the squeaker shoes.  She loved them!  She walked around with a huge grin on her face, would stop, make them squeak, then start walking again!  Max had a slim selection.  His feet are an extra, extra wide!  I wanted to get him some cute navy keds, but they run narrow.  We got him some cute summer sneakers.

My best friend spoiled them with the cutest outfits and sunglasses!

We also took some pictures at my grandparent's old house.
Chick Magnet!
Sweetness!

Green play date!

Today was our turn for play group.  Since St. Patty's day is Saturday, we made it a "green" theme.  I made cupcakes and made the icing green and put some pretty green sprinkles on them!  And, thanks to Pinterest, I put them in plastic cups to keep them from tipping over!

Instead of meeting at our house, we met at a nearby park.  This park is perfect for all ages.  It has four baby swings and a toddler play area - along with an old basketball court with a bunch of old cars and push toys.  Perfect for our age group!

look at that diaper booty!!

Even baby SOS made an appearance!

The weather was a little iffy and about 45 minutes in, it started to thunder.  Everyone packed up and headed home.  Justin is out of town for the weekend :(.  thankfully, Max and Claire entertained themselves while I made their dinner.
Their new favorite thing to do is climb in their chairs.  It's so cute!

On a random note... have you seen the new mini sandwich thins?  They are the perfect size!  I made a mini egg sandwich for breakfast...hit the spot!!
can't really tell how mini it is, but it's the perfect size!
it is only 50 calories!

Transition

I need help.  My babies are almost 14 months old and still have two bottles a day.  I have been on a search for the perfect sippy cup.  It needs to be able to hold 8 oz.  Max has done ok when we've tried cup over bottle, but Claire is not having it.  I went to Target today to buy ANOTHER sippy.  Max drank out of it fine.  Tonight I tried two sippys before giving in and giving her a bottle.  She drinks water out of all of them.  Suggestions PLEASE!!

On another note....we had another beautiful day!   We all need some new clothes!  I think I have one pair of shorts that fit.  Max and Claire both need new shoes and some shorts.  While at Target, I found some cute little itty bitty crocs!  I got some pink ones for Claire, and blue for Max.  They are adorbs!  Claire loves them.  She keeps saying "shoes" and trying to put them on her feet.  Justin took a sideways picture of her.
Ok, so not my best picture... will get some tomorrow.  We are having a "green" play group tomorrow!!

I love

The weather we are having this week is amazing! The warm sun makes me a happy girl. All is right in the world 😊
I sat outside during Max and Claire's afternoon nap and hoping to do the same tomorrow!

I also love the dinner we had tonight. Taco lettuce wraps!



Yum!

Great day!

I have to say today was one of the best days we have had in a long time.  Sure, most days are great because I get to spend them with the two cutest babies in the world, but that also comes with 5:30 wake times, whining, hitting, not sharing, crying, two babies wanting my attention at the same time, non nappers, throwing food and tantrums.  Today was NOT that day :)  I think I had a smile on my face ALL day!
This morning started off great because I got to sleep in til 6:35!!! I felt like a new woman!  Both Max and Claire woke up happy and well rested.  Justin was wonderful and already had their bottles made - this eliminated crankiness from them waiting on me.  After bottles, Max was loving on Claire.
We had a great play time after breakfast.  Max laughed more than I've ever heard him laugh and his smile and the sound of his laugh, melted my heart.  I might have even been close to tears.  It was awesome.  Claire was hilarious.  She has no fear and amazes me every day!
After a good morning nap, we headed to the gym.  I had a great workout and they did well in the gym nursery.  When I went to pick them up, the girl watching them had taken a picture and had to share.
We have one bouncy seat left in our play room and it is their new favorite thing to play with.  It's so funny to walk in and see them trying to fit in it! But they love it!!

After their afternoon nap, we went to my friend Lindsay's house. We have known each other since we were their age! Her son is almost 18 months old.  My best friend, Lindsey was also there with her precious 3 month old.  He was born at 30 weeks and is doing wonderful!  It was so neat to be with two of my best friends growing up and their children.
Love them!
Hoping tomorrow is just as great as today!
