We've got shoes!

This past weekend was a productive, but very tiring weekend.
Brian went to Fort Recovery on Saturday for the day to take care of some things with his grandmother's house - which meant I had 2 boys all by myself.  We ate some breakfast, got everyone dressed, and decided to run some errands.
First, we went to Party City to get a few things for the upcoming first birthday bash.  Then we made a quick stop into Target to pick up a prescription and a few other items.  Lastly, we went to Costco to stock up on some needed items.  Things went fairly well until I gave the boys a sample of chicken nuggets at Costco - without having all of my shopping done.  Just a small taste of food wasn't cutting it for my growing boys.  So, after the chicken nugget, we sampled some yogurt, then begged a few crackers off another worker providing samples.  The crackers were a lifesaver, as it allowed me to finish the shopping, and get checked out.
The boys fell asleep in the car on the way home (even though its only a 5 minute drive).  I left the boys sleeping in their car seats while I unloaded all of our purchases, started some laundry, and made lunch.  They took about an hour nap!  When they awoke, we had some lunch, then settled in for some play time.  The afternoon was a lot of fun, other than the boys wouldn't leave the TV alone. Unfortunately, they spent a lot of time in the Pack-N-Play, but they didn't seem to mind.  (I'll post more videos that we took last Saturday).
Brian came home around 8:00 - just in time to finish feeding the boys their bottles, and put them to bed.  Whew!  I was exhausted.
Sunday, we went to 11:00 church, as the boys slept in till almost 8:00.  After church, we drove up to the outlet mall in Monroe, OH.  We had a little bit of lunch, bought the boys their first pairs of shoes (guess I need to take some pictures of them), and had an interesting experience of changing their pants in the family restroom.  After that, we were ready to just go home!
The rest of the day we spent time together, enjoyed dinner, and went to bed early.
This week has been a long one, as we haven't gotten a whole lot of sleep.  Jackson finally broke his top right front tooth through, but he has some more coming.  Because of that, he hasn't been sleeping well, and neither has Lincoln.  We are trying to get through this phase with some tough love, and trying to let them cry themselves to sleep, but still means we are up quite a bit in the night.  I know, this too shall pass, and I'm trying to be patient.
Looking forward to the 3 day weekend ahead, as we have lots of things to do around the house to prepare for the boys party in a few weeks.  Wish us luck!
Hope you all have a great weekend!
Love,
Kate, Brian, Lincoln, and Jackson
