Family Visit #1 of the Weekend

Today we had a visit from Grandpa and Grandma Rethman and Aunt Kayla and Aunt Morgan. They came up around 4:30 and got to spend some time with the girls. It was very nice to be able to just hang around and chat. They brought the girls the cutest little outfits from Children's Place. The shirt is absolutely perfect. It says...Here is a picture of the full outfit. I'm hoping the flip flops will work. Nancy asked about sizing for shoes and I'm never sure what to say. We bought tons of shoes for them as little babies and they never fit into the size they were supposed to according to age. The flip flops are a 4/5 and I'm afraid they might be too big for this summer and too small for next summer. We will see, I guess, but how stinkin' cute are they?????Anyways, we really just sat around and talked and they played with the girls. They got to see what a normal night is like for us. We always come home from Lisa's and play with the girls for about an hour to an hour and half and then it's time for dinner. They eat around 5:00 or 5:30 and then we try to lay them down for a nap. It is completely hit or miss if they actually take one and if they do it is normally just like a half hour. We laid them down and Stella fell right to sleep. Mya just talked and talked up there. I was telling them that she was probably hitting the sides of the crib or kicking the wall and while she is normally sitting up in there she hasn't tried to pull herself up to a stand yet. I decided after a while that she wasn't going to sleep and so I went up to get her and low and behold look what I found...Stella showing Aunt Kayla her cell phone. (By the way, this was the first toy we had a "fight" over. I ended up going out to buy another because it was a hot item at our house and they were always taking it from each other and getting pretty mad. LOL)Filling Aunt Morgan in on her day.How big is Mya? Sooooo big!Aunt Mo and the girlsThe girls with their aunts.After naps we normally get up and play for a little while longer. On bath nights (every other night) we start around 6:30 or 6:45. Normally, Wes does the baths or I do the first one and he does the second. Tonight he was running to pick up our order from Applebee's with his dad so I did both baths. It was nice to have their aunts and grandma here to entertain whoever wasn't getting bathed. After bath time we took their medicines and put ear drops in. Then it was time to be nursed. Mya fell asleep while she was eating because she didn't take her final cat nap. Anyways, after that they went to bed and they had a little trouble falling asleep. I'm not sure if their ears are bugging them or what was up but I ended up rocking both of them at different points. I also think we need to invest in room darkening shades now that it is staying light out later. We watched the NCAA tournament and then they left around 9:30. It was a very nice evening and I'm hoping they come back soon!

*Outfit disclaimer: They did match. They both had on the cute outfit that Stella is wearing however shockingly little miss Mya had an accident. They rarely come home in the outfits that we send them in.
