Visiting VA

We are still visting my Mom and Dad and Northern Virginia, and the boys are having a blast. So far we have been playing outside a lot, gone to my brothers house in Richmond, visited a park that has a train that you can ride around on, and gone to the movies to see Horton sees a Who. Needless to say, the boys are really tired. Today they have been cranky, they just need some sleep I supose. It stays light outside until after 9 O'clock here, back home I thought it was getting dark around 8 or so. So I have had some difficulty getting them to go to sleep at night. Hopefully they will take a good nap today and sleep well tonight, because tomorrow we are going to the National Zoo in DC. I have never been so I am excited too! I will post pictures from the zoo later this week!

Happy Mama's Day!!

Happy Mama's day to all of you hard working moms out there! I don't think I really understood the idea of Mother's day until I had my boys. I know better now all the hard work my Mom did for me and my brother all those years and still to this day. Thanks Ma for being the the best mom anyone could ask for! And thank you to my Husband for giving me a very special, restful Mother's day weekend! I hope everyone else had a great Mother's day as well. This Mama is going to go get in bed and get ready for my week ahead!

Big Boys!

Well, I finally broke down and moved the boys in to big boy beds this last weekend. It went as well as I could have hoped for. I was about in tears though, taking down the cribs. I remember when we put the cribs up in anticipation of our babies. We haven't actually gotten the toddler beds yet, they are on order. Jack informed me that this was not a bed, "it is just a sheet and a pillow!" Their mattresses are on the floor for the time being, their beds should be in next week. In other news, Matthew is getting more interested in the potty, and has used it at least six times in the past few days. This is exciting, but Jack still has little interest. I guess I will focus my attention on Matthew right now and how the sibling competition that Jack certainly feels will come into play soon. Well, I need to go get ready for the day, hopefully I can get some stuff done today.
