original little hellraisers

  

i survived!  i sucessfully took care of owen and caden for an entire day, well 7am to 5pm, but still i feel pretty accomplished. 

we started the day out with pancakes, drawing and then some playtime in owen’s room.  the day was nice so we went outside to blow bubbles.  well, owen blew bubbbles, caden mostly drank bubble juice.  caden is addicted to juice and i made the mistake calling the bubble solution, bubble juice.  we came in for a snack, playtime and then lunch. 

then the big challenge.  how do you get two energetic toddlers to take a nap at the same time?  and how do you seperate them long enough to get one to bed?  well i did it and enjoyed 2 1/2 hours of peace and quiet all to myself.  both boys went down for a nap in seperate rooms, both boys called each others names chatted a bit and then drifted off to sleep, both boys woke up at the same time.  it’s like they had agreed amongst themselves to be nice to me and take a  2 1/2 hour nap.  thank you boys. 

i had fun and you reassured me that i will be able to manage two kids.
