We have had a busy few days this weekend. Started Friday when I picked Julian up at the bus stop to go try to get the H1N1 vaccine. I got a babysitter to come help while chris worked from home. I knew that wasn't going to work from the minute she walked in the door. Lilly has started to not want any part of "strangers", even though she had kept the babies several times before. Chris said he ended up having to take Lilly for her, that she wouldn't stop crying. No one is going to watch my kids if Alex starts that too. Julian and I got to his doctor's office for the flu clinic. They had 200 doses to give out and we were there an hr early and were 117 in line. I feel sorry for the people who waited for hrs for it and didn't get it. I had been on the fence for so long about the vaccine and was leaning toward not getting it, but I got scared into it. I've had the sick kids before, one on a vent, and NEVER want to have to go through anything like that again, so I did it. Scare tactics worked.
Lilly is still trying to crawl and is pretty effective getting to where she wants to go. Alex finally started to TRY. I guess watching his little sister do it was motivation. He is starting to get on all 4's. It will be so nice when the can sit on their own and crawl. A little independence on their part will make things a little easier.
Julian had his last soccer game today and he had a lot of fun. It was such a nice day to go sit in the sun and watch him play. Hopefully it the sun recharged me for my week ahead of me. It's been nice having the help this weekend. 2 adults is much better than 1.

Do you know what a whole bottle of bath bubbles and a Jacuzzi bath does?? This equals a whole lot of bubbles and a big mess!! It started his new love for showers because it was the only way to get the bubbles off.



Chris and I are learning to not take our eyes off Julian. We left unattended there is no telling what that little guy can get into. He is so curious now, and loves to see how things work. He may actually grow up to be a scientist.

Well, halloween didn't go off without any hitches. I think I'm sAdd Imagetill trying to figure out how to be the mother of 3, and twin babies, and how to organize my day. Trick or treating here started at 6, so I started to get the babies in their costumes at 5:30 after bath and pj's thinking they would go to be right after. Mr. Alexander was extremely irritable. I don't think I got a single picture of him not crying. We even tried to feed him and take away the bottle quickly and snap a picture. The costumes were really cute, but the little hat didn't fit around Alex's head, so it kept falling off. We did the best we could with them. I'm glad I didn't waste alot of money on their costumes, because they were probably only in them about 10 min. Then Chris decided to stay home with the babies to pass out candy(probably because UGA was still playing), but I think he would have preferred the other. The babies cried mostly till I got home. Julian and I met up with a bunch of people and there was 3 other kids from his class we went with. We were doing good for awhile until it the rain came and we got soaked. Important thing was though that Julian had a good time with his friends.

Pumpkin Carving

Julian's masterpiece. He was very pleased with how it turned out.

Watch out, daddy has a big knife

We finally carved our pumpkin yesterday that Julian picked out at the pumpkin patch. Julian designed the face. He drew out what he wanted it to look like and Chris did his best at making that happen. We didn't have any fancy pumpkin carving knives, just the big kitchen knife, made it a little harder. We just haven't been as organized or planned this year. I need to get more motivated. I just bought the babies their halloween costumes yesterday. I had been taking to my best friend and said I didn't have them anything and she pushed me to do it, and I'm glad I did. I would have been sad if their was no costume pictures from their first halloween.
Everyone is finally feeling better including myself. I was really hit hard, but hopefully this will be our last cold for awhile. Although, I'm not so sure.
Happy Halloween
