Yeah!!

My mother has been here for 3 weeks and it has been great having her. Just having someone to go out with and help with the babies and be there when I need the extra hand is great. This is something that I have needed, prayed for, for so long. As the babies get older it will be easier to take them out but I want to do it more often now. Mother has been great in going out at lunch w/them and little afternoon excursions.

She leaves on Sunday and it will be hard to get use to having to do without the support or companionship again. At least she is working on a deal for house here and she will be returning with me on 12/28 for a month. With this, I am pretty sure I can get thru the next 4-5 weeks....

Halloween

Last nite was Halloween and we took the babies to Zoo Boo at the Cameron Park Zoo. My mother is here visiting so it was nice to take her with us.

We had our daughter dressed in a monkey costume and our son was in a tiger costume. They were absolutely adorable. In some of the pictures I took they look at me like "why are we in this get-up?".

About half-way thru the zoo tour they both fell asleep. They were so cute sucking on their pacifiers and completely out of it. They later woke up and I took some more pictures.

At about 7:20 pm we "pulled over" and gave them bottles. Their usual bedtime is 7:30 so they were winding completely down and ready to be in bed. We fed them then proceeded out of the zoo toward the parking lot. Neither one fell asleep on the way home but they went down shortly after they were put to bed.

Overall, their first Halloween was a success and we have some great pictures to show them when they are older.
