Today, neither one of us had to work. We actually all slept in this morning until 9:30. The girls went to bed at 9pm, but didn't wake until 3am for a bottle and then again at 6:45am. Mommy was so proud of them. After going through the Sunday paper (our favorite Sunday activity), we headed to Walgreens for some good deals they had, then to WalMart to do some household shopping and then finally to Cub for groceries. It was interesting going shopping, it takes us longer now, not because we have children in tow, because so many people want to stop and look at the girls. Mommy thinks, we've answered the same questions a million times. Today, a woman stopped us in one aisle in WalMart to look at the girls, inadvertly she blocked this other woman and let's just say the other woman was not happy. It is nice that others show an interest in the girls. We went home and Mommy got the great idea that we should start decorating for the holidays. Daddy wasn't too happy, but he went out and dragged in the christmas tree and preceded to put it up for the next hour while mom and girls snuggled on the couch. Daddy has got the hang of the christmas tree, he didn't utter one swear word. Way to go Daddy!!! This year in our new home, we don't have to tie the angel to the top because we have taller ceilings. It is now mommy's turn to put the lights on (or in her definition, throw them on the tree). Then we will all decorate, remembering to put any of the wood ornaments out of reach of our dog Daisy. We actually have 4 people done for christmas and mommy can wrap their gifts and stick them under the tree. It makes me feel good to get some of them done. Shopping early is good because the stores are still giving out good coupons, but once Thanksgiving comes they tend to stop and just do sales. Mommy made a yummy new recipe tonight, Caribbean Pork with tropical rice. Mommy has planned to try a new recipe every night this week. Tomorrow night, she is making Chicken and Bok Choy soup (not a new recipe but one of our favorites). Mommy is also going to try and make her own Never Fail Buns (a recipe from her grandma). Mommy is not sure she has the patience to bake buns. We took some photos tonight but haven't yet uploaded them, we did post bathtime at the Nguyens. The girls enjoy their baths, as long as the water is warm. The thing they absolutely hate is getting out. They don't like to be cold. We still bath them on the floor in the living room, easier on mommy's hip (she is going to physical therapy tomorrow to help recondition it after 4.5 months laying down-but worth every minute and every pain). After the bath if we don't empty it right away, our youngest dog Daisy thinks it is her turn. We have to dig her out after she gives her face and feet a bath. Mommy thinks she is a little jealous of the babies still. If mommy talks to the babies in a high pitch voice, Daisy comes running and wants all the attention, Minnie could care less (she's kind of a princess dog). Baylee is waiting for the water again in photo #1 and Amelia is looking at Mommy as if to say does my sister have to scream through my relaxing bath.
