It has gotten REALLY busy at the M house the past few weeks! Mallory,Mason and Carter are all playing ball so that is 4 practices a week and this week was to be the start of games but so far the games have been rained out and rescheduled! This week alone we had 5 games! And some of them overlap and some are at the same time in different towns! It is a look into our future! It will be divide and conquer only I fear I will get stuck with all the kids while trying to watch the child play ball that should be fun! I have attempted to hire a preteen to go along with me to some games to push the babies around and help look after Maxton so that should help! I might actually get to see some of the game!
Lots of stuff going on at school as the year comes to and end! I have to say this year I have kinda been a bad mom or at least in my eyes. I haven't been involved with anything at school everything has revolved around the twins and Maccoy's health. It was nice to take a year off, but I plan on going back to volunteering and being very active in the schools next year unless this homeschool thing works out!!(J/K i think)
The twins turned 10mths old last week and are balls of energy! Cayne is pulling up to everything even letting go and holding on with just one hand! He crawls soooo fast and has taken to making trips all over the house, he follows me from room to room crawls under our bed to find zoey, he is such a happy little baby and he loves to cuddle! Both babies have found their love to scream and I have even saw them dancing a little bit when the music is on ( we have the radio on all the time). Cayne has also found that he can go up the stairs and if I am not watching him he has been known to make it half way up before someone catches him! (not good we need to put up a gate a.s.a.p) Maccoy continues to get better everyday! He still army crawls and is slow takes lots of breaks but just a few days ago figured out how to get up on his hands/knees and go somewhere! Maccoy really only likes to be held if your going to carry him around the house he is definitely not the cuddly baby that Cayne is . As I am typing this Cayne just came up and dumped everything off the end table what a stinker!! They both still only say MaMa and DaDa. They both give lovely/sweet open mouth kisses, and put out there arms to be picked up/held. At last weight check they were Cayne 20lbs14oz and Maccoy was 19lbs5oz this was a few weeks ago when they were sick. A few weeks ago we bought a baby video monitor and I can't believe I haven't gotten one sooner! They are so AWESOME! I love to watch the babies play through the crib bars with each other when I lay them down for nap it is so cute! They are still sleeping in our room even though there bedroom is empty and waiting for them to be moved to it? They are still getting up to nurse during the night and then sleeping the rest of the night cuddled up next to mom oh what a bad bad bad bad thing I have done! I just want to soak up every last little bit of baby I can so I continue to let them get up and nurse not for them but for me. Silly huh? It is so sad to think I will never have another baby :( I told Clint the other day what will I be without a stroller to push and a diaper bag over my shoulder? His answer you will be "free" and it will feel good I promise! I am not so sure! I have been pregnant,breastfeeding or had a toddler for the last 10 years I can't imagine not being/having one of the above.
Maxton continues to get bigger and bigger daily. He will be 3 on June 13th Holly Crap! How did that happen? For his birthday he would like a "bownarrow". He is the sweetest child but oh so naughty! He keeps telling me when I get bigger I can go to school or to recess etc.. I keep telling him No don't get bigger and his response is WHY? his new favorite word. Oh the "Why" phase how I hate it!!
Nothing new on the vacation planing I am just not sure what to do about that! Clints brother found a decent deal for Disney World but after some thought we decided it wasn't the time for us to go.(even though we can afford a Big Vacation I am not sure how we will afford to get everyone their sports gear/shoes when they get older ;) The babies stuck in their strollers for hours (at a time when they just want to crawl/walk go go go) and keeping track of Maxton (who likes to wonder/hide in stores) just didn't sound like a fun family vacation!! And the more I think about it I am not sure how hotel rooms would work out with the babies who want to go to bed but the rest of us that want to stay up? So we are still thinking about our options! We will do something just not sure how "BIG" it will be. But as long as we are all together it will be FUN!
Maccoy goes back to the Cardiologist next Wed. He will have a echo done and we will see Dr.Kaine so were are definitely looking forward to hearing what he has to say. Other that that we are just awaiting the last day of school! And Clint and I are getting excited to get a date night to go to a Wedding of close friends on May 29th thanks to my mother in law who is coming to watch the kiddos man what would I do without her she is the BEST!!! It's funny how something as small as a night out with my husband alone is so exciting! I am with my kids 24/7 and yes that is my choice to stay home and raise them but sometimes mama needs a break ;)
My mothers day was just another day (except for the amazing/make me cry card that Mason made me) at the last minute Clint decided we should go out for supper. We ended up going to Texas Roadhouse (a steak place) we sat down and the kids enjoyed throwing their peanut shells on the floor and acted so GOOD had the best manners made Mom and Dad very proud the twins just sat there and looked cute as usual of course we got lots of stares, comments and a few questions, our waiter was amazing very nice young guy and as we got done eating I told Clint he better hurry with the check it is time for bed for the babies and they aren't going to make it much longer, along the waiter came along with a manager and he said " You have been chosen as our Mother of the Day your meals are on us" Clint and I were in shock! He said "your kids are so well behaved and quiet and have great manners and several of the other waiters commented on that and the manager even walked by our table and noticed so they just new they had to give the award to ME!! I was so happy and proud! To bad they don't act like that all the time!! It was a great ending to the day! Me MOTHER OF THE DAY!!(hahaha)
