Pink Bows and Pigtails: STTN...well, almost

The past 2 nights Hannah and Hailee have slept from about 10:00pm until 4:00am. I'll take it! Then I am up at 4:00am with them for the rest of the day, but if I can get that 6 hours or so in, I think I can survive. It really just happened all of a sudden. We have been focusing on keeping them awake in the evenings more and making sure they are stuffed before bed. We bathe, do tummy time, walk around with them (they love to look outside), play, then feed. They usually get all fired up at some point throughout the process which tires them out too. I know this will not be an every night thing, we may be hit or miss at times, but it is really nice that Paul and I have both gotten to sleep for more than a 3 hour period at a time in the past couple nights.

The day before Easter mom watched all 3 girls so that Paul and I could go out for a daytime date. We really just wanted to get out of the house together. We decided to go to Home Depot and look around at stuff for some spring projects that we want to complete. We have been wanting a new, deep sink for a while. We thought it would be a good idea to go ahead and buy one. Paul figured it would only take him 2-3 hours to install. Needless to say, at 11:00pm that evening Paul and dad were still working on the plumbing. Below is a picture of my kitchen the night before entertaining about 10 people for Easter dinner. They did get it done though, after a few leaks and 4 more trips back to Home Depot. Now we have a nice new sink that really made a huge difference in our kitchen!

Our Easter was really nice. All 3 girls got extra spoiled with their Easter baskets and gifts from their grandparents. We went to church for the first time since Hannah and Hailee have been home. It was such a beautiful service. It was so nice to be back. Mom and dad were here to help us get ready that morning, otherwise I'm not sure that we would've made it. We don't do very well with schedules these days! Hannah and Hailee were nice and quiet until about the last 5 minutes of the service. Again, I'll take it! Dinner after church was great. We had an egg hunt and Ella had a blast with it.
