2/27/11 – Family Sunday!

Well, today was a pretty good end to the weekend. Amelia actually slept halfway decent last night, and both girls let us sleep in a little bit. Awesome! Once we were all up, we hung out for a while, ate, and were on our way to Target for a little family shopping trip. I love the IDEA of family shopping trips, but it’s overwhelming at the same time. On one hand, I like to just go on my own, do what I need to do, and be done with it. But, when we go together, I like the extra time I get with Christian, and who doesn’t love showing off their little bundles of joy?! Olivia did great throughout the store, like usual. Amelia actually lasted half the trip in her car seat! Then, spent the other half in the sling, which was fine with me…extra cuddles!

Amelia passed out on the way home, and proceeded to nap for a few hours! Olivia also passed out on other way home, but woke up during transport from car to crib…then decided the 3 minute nap in the car was good enough. We were not having it, so she proceeded to yell and scream in her crib for about an hour before finally giving in and napping. Such a brat.

I randomly did loads of laundry throughout the day, Christian got his hair cut and made a special trip to the Mexican Market during nap time. He grilled (yes, grilled, in the cold) some carne asada and we had yummy tacos for dinner!

After dinner, I did some cleaning up…scrubbed the kitchen, washed some dishes…the usual. After the bath and bed routine, it was time for us to pass out as well. Of course Amelia woke up as soon as we were about to go down…Christian did step in and attempt putting her back down, but she wasn’t having any of it. She’s been nursing for comfort lately, in an extreme manner, and I’m at a loss of what to do. I’m glad she’s off the pacifier, but some days it would make life SO much easier. Oh well, we’ll just keep trying!

Tell me this picture doesn’t make you smile!
