A productive day

I have so much respect for single Moms or to those who have husbands that are gone for work long periods at a time.  They are some hard working people!   Lex has been working some late nights this week on a side job he has.  We haven't seen much of him and we really miss him!
 Last night I braved the grocery store by myself with the girls.  They both did great!  Luckily I didn't need a ton of stuff so the trip wasn't too long.  Kagen is turning in to such a big girl.  It's so fun watching her change every day.  Kalli too!!  She loves being able to push her own buggy.  When she would pass someone she would say, "Oh! Excuse me!"  and sometimes it was "Watch out, watch out!" 

She told me she wanted to wear her rain boots, so that's exactly what she did.  =)

 I had a lot to get caught up on around the house so it was nice to stay home all day. I got 5 loads of laundry washed and put away. Yes, FIVE. That's not counting the 2 I did yesterday. The smaller the human, the bigger their laundry pile is!!

Kalli ran a little fever today because of her shots but, she's been in a pretty good mood. Thank goodness for Ibuprofen. Kagen is getting better about listening to me. We still have a few issues but, it has gotten much better the last couple of days. I was beginning to worry! ha! Both girls were great today. They've really done good all week. It's just been a long one!

After breakfast we played for a little bit before Kalli took her morning nap.

This is probably one of the BEST flavors.  I'm addicted to it.  I was a little heart broken this morning because this was the last one I had left.  I have no idea what I'm going to do tomorrow morning....   

While Kalli napped I cleaned the kitchen, along with Kagens help.  She was playing with the bananas and I noticed this.  She's such a goof ball. 

After that it was time for her "room time"  After she'd been in there a little while I snuck in to check on her.  She had gotten her princess doll out and her princess puzzle.  That made me so excited! 

Kalli got up for her nap and was ready for a bottle.  While she ate, I made my first attempt at making baby food.   My Mom and I went to Target to the day before and I bought this steamer basket...thingy.  It worked pretty good!

 And voilà!!
 It was much easier than I thought it would be to make. 

Kalli took a sippy cup for the first time today.  She was not happy about it at first, but then she was hooked.

Then it was time for both girls to take their afternoon naps.  Once they were out, I had to dive in to all this fun.  This stack of papers have been staring at me for a couple weeks and the stack has gotten taller and taller each day.  Sometimes being a grown up stinks. ha!

Before Lex went to work this evening, we went to dinner with Bill Bill and GiGi. 

When we got home it was time for their baths.  I bathed them together and Kalli loved being in there with her sister.  After the girls' baths we climbed into the bed and read a couple books.  Kagen wanted to do most of the reading. 

Now I'm exhausted.  Bed time is right around the corner for me.  Hope y'all have a great weekend!!
