Kid filled weekend...

This weekend K and I went back to visit the family. My sister had classes on Friday,Saturday and Sunday so we took the twins and buddy Friday and Saturday. We got down there late on Friday night and relieved my mom.. At first everything was going super smooth.. They went down to bed at 8:30 then K and I played with buddy... Then the three of us decided to go to bed... As K and I laid down we heard the famous scream..... C had been cutting teeth and woke up screaming. Since the twins share a room I ran to the room to get him. My sister had arrived home and followed me in.. We wanted to get him out before he woke up S.... We could not get him to stop screaming. Then I had to do the worst thing ever... Hold his arms down and his face still as my sister put ora jel in his mouth.. OH MY WAS THAT AWFUL... I FELT SO MEAN AND AWFUL... My sister laughed at me and told me to get used to it... Well S woke up so I grabbed her and gave her to Uncle K as Carrie and I tried to get C to calm down. Poor kid, he just screamed... We finally got C calmed down so I went to grab S from K and they were sooo cute. He had her on the bed just playing with her. She was giggling and snuggling into him. It was so darn cute.

The next morning my sister left super early (I think 6am). K and I got up before the kids, which gave us time to come up with a game plan. C got up first so I went up to get him. There is just something about that look on his face that makes you all warm and fuzzy inside. His arms in the air, the smile on his face and his cute bed head... I picked him up and brought him down stairs and started warming up his bottle. About a half an hour later princess woke up. I gave C to my hubby and went to get S. She had the same look on her face and again my heart melted. Our big and first baby heard us up and he came up stairs. It felt good to be playing family.

Me n the kids dropped K off at his parents and then the kids and I went to my other sisters house to see my  other niece and nephew. My mom ended up being there it was so nice to see the kids playing together. UNTIL NAP TIME the kids were so tired and needed to go home and sleep.. NNN sleep they did, they were out for 2.5-3hours... Oh I forgot to mention my older niece H came back to my other sisters house. So I had 4 kids.... We had such a good time. I put the kids down, did the dishes and cut up fruit for all of us. Then we played board games!!  It was fun... Then the kids woke up. Since H hadnt seen K we all  drove over to K's parents house where we had our other two nephews... The kids and K went out to play baseball while I tended to the twins... Then we ordered dinner... and then I realized..... We didnt have the SUV (with the third row) we had the car... How was I going to get 4 kids (2 in car seats) and a husband back to my sisters in the car.... MOM TO THE RESCUE.... I called my mom and asked her to come get K and follow me back to C's house... C and my mom live 5 minutes apart and 30 minutes from my in-laws.... What a life saver.... Because neither one of the older kids wanted to be taken home by anyone other than me... Which makes me feel soo great! I love being an aunt!!!

I dropped H off at her house and headed to my other sisters to drop the last of the kids off. We had cake to celebrate my birthday, my mom's birthday, my sisters birthday and the twins... I know that's a lot of birthday's!! Then we headed home and arrived home around 11pm...

Ohhh I forgot to mention there are a couple of foods that I love and you can only get back home... My sister was sooo nice... She had them there when I arrived on Friday.. Cannolis and Cake from Roma (the best bakery in the world) and Mrs Fisher chips.. Salt and oil heaven! I think I packed on 20 lbs just from all the junk food!!

Anywhoo the moral of this story is it was a crazy weekend, but we loved it and can't wait to put our kids in the mix!! Praying that it is soon!!!
