Long Day!!

Today was a very long day out and about. We gave the boys a bath and went to church this morning. Then we went to our first sit down restaurant as a family of 5!!! We ate at Red Robin and the boys slept the entire time and Abby ate pretty well. We then did a bit of shopping. I stayed in the van with the boys though, feeding them. Then we went back to church to wrap shoe boxes and fill them full of fun things to send over seas for Christmas time. Abby was so excited to do this. She has been talking about it for a couple of weeks. We were in Walgreens buying stuff for the shoe boxes and Abby told the cashier we were going to a 'pack and wrap' party at church. We wrapped and packed the boxes and ate chili. We got home around 8pm. Abby kept asking us if w were going to take the boxes to the poor tonight or next Sunday. We had to explain to her that we send them overseas to kids in a different country. She really wanted to take the boxes to the kids herself. I was proud of her that she didn't want to take the stuff for herself. All of the kids did well. I was half expecting for some to 'pocket' some of the things for themselves or at least ask us for the stuff, but they did great. I just can't believe we are entering the holiday season full force. I am not ready!!!! It was great to get out and do some normal activities that we haven't been able to do in such a long time. We are getting a hang at this twin thing and family of 5!!! God has truly blessed us.
