Slumber Party

Last night Anne made an unplanned trip to my area, Riggs and Avery in tow. Once here, the idea of visiting over a few glasses of wine sounded too good to pass up and so she decided to stay the night.

Sometimes spontaneity is best, even as a mother of twins! We realize that if she would have planned an overnight stay at my house with the twins she would of stressed about it for days and wouldn't have considered leaving her house without the activity mat, 2 boppy's, the bumbos, baby Einstein dvd's, miracle blankets, the sleep sack, the pack-n-play and way too many extra outfits,bibs,diapers,etc.! (I'm really not exaggerating)

Instead, with only the bare minimum, she and the babies managed to survive the sleepover, proving it can be done.

The babies enjoying Ryker's mobile. This entertained them for most of the evening.

Once Anne made the decision to stay the night, we had to get creative with the sleeping arrangements. Ryker spent the night at Lovey's, Avery slept in Ryker's crib and Riggs slept in our bassinet.

The next morning, Ryker came home first thing, so we were back to 3 babies. Come morning nap time, we put Riggs in the crib, Ryker in the swing and Avery in my bed.

Riggs swaddled in the crib.

Ryker cozy in the lamb swing.

Avery laid out in the king size bed on the pillow!

This is Anne during morning nap time. We stayed up 'till 2:30am and drank too much wine! She wasn't feeling very well! We aren't the rockstars we used to be...

Saturday afternoon outside at Lovey's.
