When life kicks your butt

Lately life has been rough. We've got the kids on a very strict schedule, which makes life manageable. But lately we've had a couple of weeks that have been much harder than the usual 20 something diaper changes, 15 bottles, 6+ outfits, 3 baths, 9 meals a day. Our refrigerator broke about 2 weeks ago and the new one comes Wed. I will never again take the fridge for granted! We've been living out of a small icebox. I've been trying to continue to feed the kids healthy, balanced meals, despite not having a fridge which means daily trips to the grocery store to buy fresh meat, veggies and milk.

Taylor and Chloe are starting to get more challenging and they have more energy that ever before! Taylor monkey climbs on everything and gets into everything. And Chloe is our little copycat, so multiply that times 2. We are also trying to sell our house, which means open houses and realtors stopping by at any time. It's kind of stressful trying to keep everything super clean all the time. And to top it all off I somehow managed to get sick, stupid sick like you get in the dead of winter. What's that about? It's been 70 degrees all week.

But the good news the kids are all healthy and cute as can be, Gamma came to visit so I got 3 naps in one day, and broken fridge + being sick was exactly what I needed to finally get back to my pre-pregnancy weight! To celebrate I'm eating super cheesy double crust pepperoni pizza. Oh and daddy decided the ditch all the plastic bottles and toys and switch over to glass bottles and wooden toys.

Here are the three little munchkins with their new and improved bottles. They aren't too excited about the change.
