The Recap<\/span><\/p>\n

Friday<\/span> – My MIL and Eric’s aunt came out in the morning and watched the babies while I went to the church’s moms group.  It made the time much more restful for me.  They stayed for lunch and then left when the babies went down for their afternoon nap, so I then got about 2 hours of quiet in the afternoon.  Nice!<\/p>\n

Saturday<\/span> – My parents came up in the afternoon to watch the twins while we went on a date.  Our first date since October, I think.  So nice of them!  So while we went out to a movie and dinner, they took care of afternoon nap, playtime, supper, playtime, bath time, and bedtime routine.  We got home about 8:00, just in time to actually put babies into bed.  Then we chatted with my parents some and sent them home.  Very nice!<\/p>\n

Sunday<\/span> – church and much relaxing. Eric spent a lot of time playing with babies, so I just goofed off.  <\/p>\n

Today<\/span> – Eric took the day off work so I could take Alex to a doctor’s appointment.  So we have another day of “help” at home today.  Super nice!<\/p>\n

The Commentary<\/span><\/p>\n

Moms Group<\/span> – I’m pretty sure I won’t be doing the moms group next year.  It’s a good program, but it’s not really geared toward a (not-normal) chick like myself.  I’ve done it now for two years, but I’m seriously leaning towards not being part of it next year.<\/p>\n

The  Movie<\/span> – We saw Avatar in 3D because Eric’s coworkers had said he needed to see it.  It wasn’t as full of extreme environmentalism as I’d heard it was.  I mean it was certainly a nature-based group vs. the big-bad industrial white folks.  Though the real bad guy was the military dude.  So I’m sure that says something about where James Cameron stands.  But the story, while fairly predictable, was good and I liked the characters a lot.   But I will say that if you want to see it, you really won’t miss much in the non-3D version.  Being “in” the movie wasn’t a huge benefit for me.  But that’s probably just me.<\/p>\n

Dinner<\/span> – We went to Noodles & Co.  I really like that restaurant.  Of course it helps to enjoy the company, and we had a great talk while we ate our dinner.  But seriously, try Noodles…it’s yummy!<\/p>\n

Alex’s Appointment<\/span> – we are getting his teary eye checked today.  It has stopped gooping so badly that his eye is sealed shut in the mornings. But he still has a pool of tears in the corner of his eye almost all the time.  So we’re getting that looked at.  I don’t know if they’ll probe it to open it up today or not.  The biggest concern for me today is that the appointment (which was made for us) will overlap nap time, and it’s supposed to be 1.5-2 hours long.  I guess they do an entire eye exam, including dilation.  This could be a lot of “not-fun” for both of us.  And unfortunately, Eric wanted to stay home with Erin so he didn’t have to be the bad guy.  Lucky him.  <\/p>\n

So that’s the update.  Happy MLK Day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
