since having twins, i have become a much more organized person. i can't say i am as organized as i would like to be, it is just that with multiples, if you are not organized, things spiral downhill before you even realize what is happening. schedules are very important to us and strict schedules at that. well with the painter at our home for the week, our daily routine has come to a screeching halt. it has been replaced with trying to spend an entire day out with twins. today, after going to the gym to pass the morning time but still part of our usual routine, i had planned with my friend kim, to spend naptime at her home while she was at work. she so graciously gave me her garage code and i picked up lunch for the boys and we headed over, right on time for lunch and nap. it was all going so smoothly! i planned ahead and ...........we hit a brick wall. kim's garage code did not work. she had been having some trouble with it and after 30 minutes of trying and the boys having a meltdown in the car, we headed over to the park in her neighborhood. after chasing them down the middle of the street, i lured them to the table with chick-fil-a. after a few bites of lunch managed to pass a little over an hour at the park. not the easiest task but plan b was to keep them up through their usual naptime and then hopefully they would sleep on the ride to b's school and all the way home. you can see the boys enjoyed swinging....and i think they actually might talk after all!
