Halloween Party!

Eek. I hadn't been to a party with jello shots in a long time - I forgot how tasty those little treats are. It was a Halloween party so the girls got their first babysitter and Ryan and I put together some costumes. Ryan had planned to go as Borat, but when he tried on the wig he looked a lot more like Screech from Saved by the Bell. So he found some jams and those nice pink Converse and I have to say was very convincing in character. I went as Ellen, complete with a box of kleenex and a "Save Iggy" sign. The only problem was that people expected me to dance, and well, that's more of a scary trick than a treat. But we had a great time and the girls had fun with the sitter, too. One of Ryan's employees has twin boys so her and her husband came to watch them. They're old pros at looking after a couple of babies and did a fine job. I'll admit that after too many cups of green eyeball punch the 2am wake-up cry from Molly was a little more painful than usual, but it was worth it.

Today has been sort of a lazy day, which is fine and exactly what we needed. We had Chic-fil-A for breakfast and lounged around in our pajamas until 2pm (actually Molly and Alli are still in theirs but they look cute and don't care one bit). Then we all took turns taking naps. The girls were on opposite schedules which meant that Ryan and I couldn't take one at the same time, so I took a catnap while he watched them and now he's sleeping while I'm in charge. But I think I won that deal, because now both Molly and Alli are sleeping so I snuck in some free time. I know it's only a matter of time till someone wakes up, but I've learned to enjoy any spare minute of peace.

By the way, we moved the girls upstairs to their own cribs a couple nights ago. Ryan and I slept next door in guest room for the last few nights in case there were multiple wakings (our room in downstairs and I'm dreading the up and down trips in the middle of the night). But they did pretty well and only woke once each night so we'll move back to our own room and hope the trend continues. Anyway, here's a few pics from the party last night....
