Yep! We got to go to Clemson this weekend?!? And yes, we brought the boys! We didn't quite know how we were going to pull it off but we knew we wanted to do it. The boys are great in their Baby Bjourns and so we knew that if we could figure out the feeding schedule then they would do just fine.
My friend Josh got us his cousins parking space at the condos behind the Esso so we were able to feed the babes upstairs there ( in an awesome room with a huge tv, ect. ) before heading out. We stopped by the Young Life tailgate and hung out before the game and then got in the game right before the Tigers ran down the hill! We stayed in the game through half time and the boys didnt open their eyes the WHOLE game. They love being held so being in those Baby Bjourns is like heaven to them!
After that we headed back to the condo to feed them and got to see the last half of the game. We had a HORRIBLE win, but it was a WIN, so we were of course thrilled. We then hoped in our car and headed downtown for some food. After that we got back in the car and headed to the Grinstead's tailgate because.... Lindsay got ENGAGED! We are sooooooo excited for her. The ring is beautiful and we were so happy to be able to be there to celebrate with them.
At this point the babes needed to be fed again so we headed to Caleb's friends house to feed the boys. It was a great time hanging out there because in a house of 7 girls, there was plenty of excitement about having a baby around. (It was cute... they called the babies "Caleb's babies"). Well, we left there and got home at 9:30. We fed the boys again and we ALL went to bed. It was a very very exhausting BUT fun day. (By the way, the boys didn't wake until 4:30 am ... 7 hours!.. woo woo!)
Here are a bunch of pictures from our fun filled day...
Yesterday was a fun filled day as well... we had church (still on the computer at home at this point) and then I got to work outside. If you haven't been to our house, you dont know that we have a LOT of trees. And when you have a LOT of trees, you have a LOT of leaves in the fall. I like to call it LEAF WORLD right now. It took me at least 3 or 4 hours to blow them all up yesterday! YIKES. And the depressing thing is that if you look up into the trees, it doesn't even look as if any leaves have fallen yet! (and I did this just two weeks ago). THANKS to Clay for having Daddy Day Care inside with the boys so I was able to clean it all up. He did however have a few seconds to pop his head out and snap these "great" pics...
Church

Go you! So glad your gameday trip went well! Question, do your boys like the nap nannies? I see them laying on them while watching church. I considered getting one for Avery but I wanted some reviews from moms who have used them before dropping over $100 on it! Your boys are just precious!
ReplyDeleteYes! They actually like them TOO much. Ha. Just kidding... I say that because that is where they sleep. I have had them in those since DAY 1 and they have ALWAYS slept in them. We swaddle them and put them in those and that is where they have always slept. Well, last night we tried to get them to sleep in the crib and it was terrible. They hate it. They are going to have to get use to laying on their backs some day but I dont know if I am up for another night like last night quite yet. ANYWAYS, that is why I say they like them too much because they sleep really well in them but wont sleep anywhere else. My NapNannnies were a gift. A very nice gift :) I use them for sleep and for me they are worth it, but if it is just for sitting around then maybe not... I MEAN I LOVE THEM. But I am sure if they are just for sitting then I could use something else less expensive. I dont want them sleeping in them once they are old enough to roll around (just because I have seen some things with babies getting hurt) but for what we have used them for they have been great! (sorry to babble on and on)
ReplyDeleteNo. That's very helpful. I've read those reviews as well about kids hanging off the side of them. The 2nd generation ones were supposed to fix that problem by securing the material to the wedge. Parker would only sleep propped up as well and this seems like a much safer option than propping her up on a pillow like I did Parker (gasp). I'm with you... whatever gets them to sleep and helps you sleep longer too! Thanks again for the review. :)
