Super Mama!



I'm going to start this post by admitting that I am quite proud of myself and ready to do some bragging! I'm not sure if this is the norm for most moms of almost 19 month twins and if it is, don't burst my bubble! I'm feeling pretty dang Super Mamaish at this moment! Why? Because of the action packed day that I have just accomplished! :)
Let me recap!

First, I left the house at 9:00 and went and picked up my nephews. We then went to their  neighborhood's splash pad where it is the BEST MOST PERFECT set up for the babies! I was able to relax and feel that my babies were safe to play! We got there at 10:00 and stayed until 12:30 which is a long time for the babies seeing how they are typically napping around 12:30. And, there were NO meltdowns! They were having so much fun and only got upset when I told them we had to go.

Cooper preferred sliding without the water in his face so his cousins handled the situation!



We ate lunch, headed home and babies were napping by 1:30.

During their nap, did I rest? No! Should I have, probably so! I did two loads of laundry, cleaned my bedroom, packed up clothes to donate, cleaned up all the toys, AND cleaned the living room, dining room and kitchen!

Babies woke up at 3:30. I sat for a minute and watched the babies play with Trevor and Brett. So cute to see these four play together. The big boys love these babies! During the nap, I think Trevor wanted to go wake them up. I definitely was against that idea!

By 4:30, all were eating an early dinner...okay...I just made a frozen pizza....hehe...

By 5:00, we were heading to the babies' gymnastics class. Cooper's face lit up the minute we walked in. He got so excited. Both he and Chloe remembered what they learned in the previous class and totally made me proud.

Class ended at 6:15 and we headed to Cold Stone Creamery! The boys didn't know what they were in for! As soon as they sat down ready to dive into their ice cream, this is what happened....


Right outside the ice cream place, there is an outdoor water feature that kids play in. I thought that we could walk around because the babies would be too scared to get close enough to get wet...




I was wrong!

By this point, it's 30 minutes past their bedtime but we STILL have had no meltdowns today! It may not seem like alot to do for most moms but I am feeling pretty darn proud of myself. And, I'm so very tired right now but it's a good kind of tired. It's a no meltdowns, play hard kind of tired!

I gave the babies a quick bath and put them to bed. Not one wimper, booties were in the air and eyes were closed before I left the room!

Night night!

Oh, at gymnastics, I was asked if I had two sets of twins! Oh my!
