Eat, Sleep, Poop... Repeat

7/12/13

Eat, sleep, poop… repeat.  It’s been a pretty uneventful week, but we welcomed it with open arms after all we had going on last week.  We finally had a chance to kick back and relax.  It’s crazy how quickly the days pass without a thing on our schedule, but Brenden and Jackson provide plenty of entertainment.  It’s also funny how even a walk or trip to the grocery store turns into an adventure when these guys are with.  Take for example our trip today.  We started off at REI to look for a newborn attachment for our bike trailer.  Then we headed to Buy Buy Baby and Babies R Us for some returns, hit up Wal-Mart for a few things, and stopped by the bank to set up savings accounts for the Brenden and Jackson.  This seems like an average day of running errands.  Simply add two babies to the mix and you now have the challenge of packing the diaper bag and car seats and stroller and transitions between car and stroller and playing the pacifier game where each baby thinks its hilarious to spit out their pacifier at any chance they get and diaper changes in public restrooms without a changing table and attempting to comfort a small person you can’t reason with during a total meltdown… All of this times two.  Have no fear; Super Mom and Super Dad are here.  Sometimes I feel like I’m doing the job of a superhero.  I definitely walk around with my chest puffed out a bit more during a trip like this one. Haha!  Obvious both of there smiling faces make it all worth it in the end.

Today Mom had her first audition since Brenden and Jackson were born.  She was definitely a little nervous this time, but well prepared as always.  I could tell she was really excited to be singing again.  We all packed it in the SUV for the long hall down I-290 during rush hour on a Friday… destination, the Lyric Opera House.  After I dropped off the future star, I parked the car and played the proud father who pushes his new twin boys around in the stroller.  Once she nailed the audition, we headed over to the Flach’s place for some dinner and drinks.  Did someone say Deep Dish Gino’s East?  We got to meet their new addition, Eloise Marie. She was so precious!  The boys were on their best behavior.  I’m convinced they were trying to show off for their new lady friend.  Haha!  Scott and Laura also stopped by to hang out.  It was an all around great trip… good food, good conversation, and awesome company!  We can’t wait to do it again.
