A Fun Friday

On Thur night gamma came to visit us for two days. I always look forward to her visits because it means a HUGE break for me and a much needed night or two out with my friends and Jake. On Friday gamma and I took the babies to get their pictures done at the mall. I don't do this very often because it's a lot of work. Not only getting there but making sure everyone is clean, well rested and happy. I had the cutest coordinating outfits for the 3 babies, BUT Coby ended up freaking out so no pictures of him. He was so funny, happy and smiling and then the second we took him into the studio he would flip out. Not sure what he was scared of, but he would not stop crying and then I would take him out of the studio and he would giggle and laugh. What a stinker!! It's hard enough to get one baby to smile and cooperate, so it was a little easier just concentrating on the girls. They thought it was really funny to hide behind the backdrop. But we did manage to get some VERY cute photographs and I'll post those in a few days. After the photos we went to lunch and let them run around at the mall play area. When we got home they were all so tired they took 3 hour naps (that was my favorite part of the day). :) Jake and I spent the rest of the cleaning out the place, trying to get it ready to sell. We put it on the market today so hopefully we'll have better luck this time! After we put the babies to bed Jake and I went out to dinner with Betsey and Mike. And then Betsey, being the super awesome bff that she is, gave me the coolest present ever---a night in a hotel with my two best friends. I was able to sleep in for the first time in over a year! That was totally amazing. :) Here are a few pictures from yesterday......
