...And Then We Had Twins...: So Many People, So Little Time

The boys had another very busy weekend full of fun with Grandparents, garage sales and the Kansas City Zoo. Before I get to this weekend, let me add a few pictures from last weekend when we met my Parents and Grandparents in St. Joe for brunch and a long sit at the park...where we watched 2 kids spend the whole day trying to catch 2 pound fish with lures designed to catch 160 pound fish off the coast somewhere. Anyways...we had a nice visit and we ate cake and ice cream to celebrate Dad's 35th (you're welcome Dad) birthday. For those who are confused by that last statement, maybe this will clear things up a bit...My oldest brother is 32...you do the math!!

Resting on a beautiful day

The grandpas look like they are in deep conversation, but actually they are comparing medications!!! Seriously

Great Grandpa and Grandma Sligar

Great Grandpa and Grandma Tackett

And that is grandpa's happy face...you should see him when

he is upset about something...watch out!!

This last weekend we had both sets of Grandparents down. There was a big Kansas City Mother's of Twins Club garage sale going on, so it was a good opportunity for everyone to stock up on toys and clothes for when grandkids come. After the sale they all went to the zoo...I say "they" went to the zoo because "they" went without me...maybe they don't like me, or maybe it was because had to work...either way I was left behind. But...they did make up for it though. To my surprise, they all paid for Lindsey and I to go out for a night on the town. I am sure many of you can attest to this, but when you do nothing but talk to babies day in and day out, you need to get out and have adult human contact every once in a while. So you are all wondering what we did with our night out...ohhh a romantic candlelight dinner? champagne? Rose pedals? Wrong...first off you don't know Lindsey and I if you thought we would do any of those...well I guess the second one we would, but not that night...we called up another couple we are friends with and ate at Texas Roadhouse and ate hot hot hot rolls with cinnamon butter, sweet potatoes filled with caramel and marshmallows, and a 10 oz steak that melted in my mouth. If you ever get a chance to eat there, DO......the rolls with butter will change your life!! Now...we love our boys dearly, but that night was the best nights sleep we have had in 6 months. We got to sleep in till 8:30!!!!!!!!! Now you are thinking...oh I bet the best part was spending time away from the boys and not have to worry about them right??? NOPE...the best part was we had CABLE TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY FOR CABLE. Many of you don't know, but about 4 months ago we realized we weren't watching TV anymore and thought it was foolish to pay for TV and not watch it. So we got rid of our cable. When I say we don't have TV, I mean we do not get 1 channel. As soon as we walked through the door, Lindsey grabs the remote, rotates the TV towards the bed and proceeds to watch TV till she falls asleep. Then..as soon as she wakes up she realizes the TV is off and we watch TV for another hour or so. It was great! All in all it was a great weekend. Here are a few pics from that weekend, and then I snuck in a few videos in for your enjoyment!
