Sleep Strike

Dear Alex and Tony,

It's 1 AM, sleepy time. After your day long sleep strike yesterday I really thought that you'd sleep A LOT tonight once you finally fell asleep shortly before 8 PM. And then 12:30 rolled around, you both woke up starving, I fed you, and now you are both sitting here WIDE AWAKE babbling. It's been half an hour of sitting in your Boppy's and you're showing zero signs of going back to sleep. Please babies, back to sleep for a few more hours at least.

Love, Mom

Food for Shared Thought

Today while on BBM (the main reason I did NOT get a Droid, ahem), Queen B and I had the following conversation:

Jenn: Be thankful the boys decided to nap. I'm about to comment
(Seconds later)
Jenn: We have a problem..Chip bags, or in this case pretzel bags wake the boys up. They can sleep through Oskar barking, the TV, the vacuum, doorbell, me talking loudly or yelling downstairs, but the pretzel bag just woke them up. This does not bode well for middle of the night Ruffles binges (we enjoy Ruffles while watching The Biggest Loser)
QB: Lol!

Jenn: OMG OG has new dishes that look tasty! But I'd just get chicken parm
QB: Yes. The King always goes for their new stuff and gets disappointed
Jenn: Sad. But he has high standards
QB: His fave is spaghetti meat sauce. Doesn't have to be complicated, just taste great
Jenn: Lol Striker's too
QB: Geez. We're mirrors!
Jenn: Yep. We have good taste ;)

So when I'm not posting or commenting, assume that I'm eating pretzels or Ruffles ;)

Suitable for Public Viewing

At a day short of 7 weeks postpartum, and with the exception of a desperate need for a hair cut (scheduled for 2/12), I officially declare myself suitable for public viewing. This means that my toes are neatly pedicured - and I went for a metallic purple shade since I'm pretty much barefoot 80% of the time, nails manicured, eyebrows waxed, and legs shaved. Since I also fit into my prepregnancy jeans (with a slight muffin top - hey it's only been 7 weeks), I feel free to move about the country...okay let's be honest, the city of Chino. YAY!!! Thanks to Striker, the grandparents, and Auntie B for making this weekend possible!

My New Target!

Once upon a time, I would go to Target to get shampoo and leave $100 poorer. Since the creation of Alex and Tony, Babies R Us has become my new money pit.

I went in for 1 $10 item this morning and left with 3 large bags, 1 regular size bag, a box of diapers and a box of wipes. Since it's only a few weeks until KFuj's shower I got a "few" things for Kyle and his mommy ;)

I then went to Target for several things and spent less than $40!

Thanks to Striker for letting me get out of the house with the 12 million other people who'd been trapped inside all week (welcome to my world). I also went to the gym, bank, Old Navy (love gift cards), and Bath & Body Works and picked up lunch all under 5 hours, with a stop home in between to feed the boys and shower. On the agenda for tomorrow: Costco and a pedicure/eyebrow wax.

Why You SHOULD Use a Changing Table

Grandma had a run in/step on the wipes container.

Lion Luck and Sticky Thoughts

Alex and Tony are wearing their lion outfits in support of the Petersons today. I'm sending all sorts of sticky and zen thoughts Lisa's way and secretly hoping that she's blessed with twin IVF babies too, though we'll be thrilled with one baby too!

Forgive Tony...he was distracted by the ceiling fan. He LOVES that thing!

24 Fans

When Kim and Jane got us the collection of A and B onesies, I knew I'd be faced with a dilemma-put Tony in (Tony) Almeda or Bauer (Baby B). Since tonight is the Season 8 premiere of 24, it was time for the boys to suit up (just ignore the fact that Tony is SWIMMING in his 6 months onesie-it'll fit him by the finale).

Tony ended up in Almeda since he's Tony and rule breaking goes hand in hand with Kim ;)

As we got them dressed and fed (for optimum happiness for pictures), I sent Kim pictures of the boys individually. We got them side by side for their 24 photo shoot and got ONE picture together before Alex lost it and started crying. Since Tony looks a little "special"(not that there's anything wrong with that), or drunk perhaps, I've included their individual pictures too.

We're on pace for the boys to be asleep so that we can watch the episode mostly live, even though commercial breaks stink. Wish us luck!
