We had such a busy weekend. We left Thursday afternoon heading to Birmingham for the annual girls Christmas shopping trip(with Wesley and the twins in tow!) We had a good dinner Thursday night Cocina Superior minus the freezing temps and Sara Beth wetting through her clothes!
Friday morning we woke up to no heat in our hotel room...go figure!! We had to switch rooms...this was a process, 2 pack-n-plays, all of the babies stuff and our stuff too! Wesley kept the babies in the hotel room Friday morning while we shopped in Homewood. Then we met for lunch...yes he got them both dressed and fed before we met! We went to Tazeki's ( I love that place) and Matthew met us there. After lunch Wesley and Matthew did the guy thing and we took the babies shopping at the Summitt. They are troopers! Aunt Lani just kept them moving in the stroller so they were as happy as they could be. We met my friend Katie for dinner that night...we were all pooped! It is a lot harder to shop with babies...the words power shopping are no longer in my vocabulary!
Saturday morning Wesley and I woke up and headed to Atlanta for a "Sip and See" with no Sip(that is what Nana called it!) The babies met their great-grandmother, great aunts and uncles and lots of cousins! We had such a big day. They were such good babies. We headed back to B'ham for dinner with Cheri and Lani at Ted's(one of Wesley's favorites). We fed the babies while we waited on our food...it was perfect! Wesley took the babies back to the hotel and we shopped for 45 minutes before the stores closed...not much luck though.
Sunday we loaded our car and ran to a few more stores before lunch and headed home. We had a little bit later start than we should have, and we paid for it! We had to pull over in Morton, MS and feed the babies at the "77" gas station! Every hunter in the state of MS stopped there for some fried chicken and corn dogs. Too funny...you live and you learn.
Things we learned on our trip...
-pack every bib in the house
-by 3 months babies MUST stick to their feeding schedule (7,10,2,6,9)
-when changing a diaper in the front seat...do it quickly or you end up with tee tee in your seat!
-washing bottles in a hotel is NOT fun!
-when traveling with twins you must have a suite with a refrigerator and microwave
-make sure that room is as close to the elevator as possible...we had a very long walk!!
-and last but not least...the corn dogs at the "77" were actually kind of good!(they don't compare to Corn Dog 7 in Laurel!!)

We had such a good weekend. We will be on the road again on Wednesday heading to Memphis. I'm sure I'll have more stories for you!
