So I was going to do a Baby Times-sort of post, but frankly, that would take more mental energy than I’ve got right now. So you’re stuck with just a regular update. <\/p>\n
Here’s what we’ve been up to recently – <\/p>\n
We spent the weekend at the farm for birthday festivities. Eric and his grandpa were both born on Nov. 11, and Grandpa Hogue turned 90 this year. So we went out on Friday, had a lunch with the fam on Saturday and spent the rest of the day preparing for a reception for Grandpa on Sunday afternoon. And Eric’s dad and brother were working non-stop trying to get the corn chopped and the silage bags filled before more rain came. Oh, the joys of farming…<\/p>\n
Eric spent most of his free time at the farm working on a camera set-up that they put up on top of a silo to take pictures of the building of his brother’s new barn. When it’s done (assuming the camera doesn’t blow off the top of the silo), he’s going to put together a time-lapse video of the whole project which should be super-cool. <\/p>\n
Megan had a REALLY bad night while we were at the farm…like crying almost non-stop from 9-midnight. I finally got her to sleep at almost 1. Then Alex was up at 2:30. Then Meg was back up at 5-ish. Man, I hate those kind of nights. We still aren’t sure what caused her fit. It might have been gas. It could have been the 4 or so teeth she seems to be trying to put through all at once. Either way, though, it was rough!<\/p>\n
Monday, Eric took the day off so we didn’t have to rush home on Sunday night. That was nice. Then yesterday, we had to meet a chick from the Twins Club who sold me a pack-n-play and after that transaction took place, we just drove down the street to the Play Cafe where the kids had a blast for an hour or so. Today we had a playmate at our house, so my house is currently (mostly) tidy, and the twins did a great job sharing their toys with “our fwends” as Alex called them. And I made Monkey Bread for a snack which was yummy. Haven’t had that in ages, and I ate way too much of it. But it was definitely yummy. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In other news…<\/p>\n
The twins are absolutely into the “Threes” now. Erin melts into a puddle about everything and nothing. Alex acts like he’s trying to tear the house down. Both are definitely getting more defiant. And I’m trying to keep the PT from stalling out. They say that 3 is worse than 2. I believe it. I totally believe it. <\/p>\n
Megan learned to say “uh-oh” the other day…super cute!<\/p>\n
I finished knitting a scarf to give as a birthday present to my niece this weekend. I need to block it today so it is ready for Saturday’s party. I hope she likes it. <\/p>\n
I have actually started my Christmas shopping, so that’s cool. And fun. I really need to get our lists out to family so they have some ideas for all these sales I keep getting emails about. Of course, I should probably finish the lists before I send them, I guess. <\/p>\n
I need a new cell phone. My current one will no longer stay turned on unless it is plugged into the wall. Thankfully, I’m 6 months over my last 2-year plan, so I can go upgrade or whatever at any time. Might have to be tonight!<\/p>\n
Okay, I think that’s all the randomness I can come up with right now. I have in mind a couple of other, more “intelligent” posts but they haven’t gelled enough to actually get them posted. So soon…<\/p>\n
But until then…Happy Wednesday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
