That pretty much recaps the weekend.
Friday was a long, hard day. Alex fell about 12:30 and cut his upper gum with his lower teeth (at least that’s what we think happened). And then he bled for 6 hours. He didn’t seem bothered by it at all and even ate just fine (they both enjoyed the popsicles especially!), but it was almost bedtime before we got done with all the drips and drops of blood. And, being 14 months old (today), he kept putting his hands and toys into his mouth like normal. So it was a frustrating day, to say the least. The only good part was that Eric got home early from work and helped me deal with it all.
On Saturday, I went out to shovel the driveway (something I like and Eric doesn’t), and Eric stayed inside to man babies. When I came in, he announced that I shouldn’t worry…the blood had stopped. My first thought was that God must have known I needed not to be around for that one and I thanked him for that! But anyway, it turned out that Erin had tripped and bashed her mouth into the back of Alex’s head. She bloodied her mouth and both were screaming quite loudly. But thankfully, popsicles helped that all heal quickly, too. 
As for the busy, that was Sunday. We had a schedule change because of Super Bowl, and Karen and I were in the nursery for the “evening” activities. And they scheduled a meeting, with promised childcare, for an hour earlier than services were scheduled to run. So we got home from church in the morning at about 11:30, and I had to leave for church again at 2:30. Thankfully, no kids showed up for that meeting, so we had the first hour to just talk and laugh. Very nice! Then we only had 5 kids for regular services (two of which were mine), so it was actually a pretty easy evening!
Then we went over to Karen & Erik’s house for a Super Bowl party. We (Eric and I) don’t actually watch the football games, of course, but the commercials are worth it (some of them anyway). And it was good to hang out with people other than my babies for even a little bit. We got home about 7:45 and put the babies to bed, and we were in bed by 9:00. Nice!
Unfortunately, the babies didn’t have a good night. I’m sure they were just over-tired, since they only got one nap yesterday and were overstimulated right before bed. But that means they should take good naps today. And because I’m pretty tired, still, that will be good for all of us!
Happy Monday!

Kayla was always a champ at the bloody mouth thing. I swear every time she fell, she managed to have blood pouring out of her mouth. So far, Ian’s had a couple drops! Fingers crossed it stays that way!

A few of the commercials were worthy this year. I think because I watch football more now than I ever have before, the commercials are less impressive. Also, the game seemed to go by rather quickly (I was also doing a crossword puzzle about football at the time). How did you like The Who’s performance?

@BoureeMusique – Sadly we left our party just before half time, so we missed the performance wrestling babies into their jammies. What did you think of it?
