A day on the baby farm..where to begin. As most of you know I watch all three monkeys on Wednesdays, Mom does Thursday and Heather does Fridays. It can be a little much but its the best thing ever. The babies get to be with family and their cousin MR. K. Plus everyone comes to my house which makes it SO much easier! Mommas out there of twins can relate! Its hard getting everything together in the A.M and rushing home to feed in the afternoon. I am one lucky gal. Well EVERYONE is so much more mobile now, exp. MR. K. There is no more just laying the babies under the play mat. It is DO NOT TAKE YOUR EYES off them for more than 1 minute! So this past wednesday I decided to document our day. We try and stick to a routine, but sometimes we get off and thats just how it is, let me give you a little glimpse of how our day goes...

Oh my mandy sue you are amazing! I dont know how I will be as organized as you. My biggest goal and one of the many things I admire about you as a mommy is that the babies are still on breast milk. I am so proud of you and I hope I can be as strong as you are when it comes to feedings! Love you and miss you so much cant wait till we can work out getting together, I will come to you, promise!!!
