family time

Reese and Quincy's first pair of matching jammies. I'm sure the next pair will be covered in barbie or pricesses or dora or ponies so i had to capture this nice non-commercial moment.

daddy's girls

Everybody loves a family picture...especially when it is 10:30pm when daddy decides to take it, and he drags everyone out of bed and makes them get dressed up. I think i was being a pretty good sport considering i usually require a 24 hour notice for family pictures...Aaron insisted on black and white attire (because everyone has a black dress for their 4 month old) so y'all will be seeing these dresses again in December on our christmas card...which is what I bought them for. Hopefully at least one of the girls will have grown some hair by then! When elderly people try to talk to Reese in line at the grocery store she just says "i'm a girl" -guess she got tired of them calling her a "handsome little fellow".

Quincy gets a lot of love from her big sister.

bow...too..heavy...can't...lift...head!

Yep...that's a my little pony on her head. Reese loves to share her toys.

Later that night

Taking my advice, Aaron had finally wandered down the hall and collapsed into bed-still fully dressed in his work clothes. I climbed into bed as well, figuring I would just have to go to the store early the next morning with the kids.
Fast Forward to about 3:30am. Quincy wakes up for her middle-of-the-night-feeding. As i get out of bed to go nurse her, I glance over at Aaron sleeping next to me with his hands tucked peacefully behind his ears...then i notice he is totally undressed from the waist down.

Meg: "Aaron...where your clothes? Why are you naked?"

Aaron: (groggy and confused begins feeling his hands across his chest and tugs at the collar on his dress shirt) "what? I'm not."

Meg: "Seriously...what the heck happened to your pants? You had pants, a belt, socks and underwear on when you came to bed"

Aaron: "oh...those...yeah well I had to take them off"

Meg: "what? why?

Aaron:"to go to walmart"

Meg:"what?! Aaron. wake up"

Aaron: "shhh...i'm sleeping" (rolls over) "hey...(accusingly)...where are my pants!"

Back By Popular Demand

Setting: It's about 7pm and after a long day at home with the girls, I realize I still need to go to walmart to get diapers for Quin and pick up the food for a baby shower I was going to be hosting the following day. Aaron graciously volunteered to make the trip to the store for me and said he would leave after we got the kids settled into bed. By 8pm he was asleep on the sofa.

Meg: "Aaron, it's 9:30. You said you would go to the market for me tonight."

Aaron: "yeah...i'm going" (rolls back over)

Meg:"Aaron, this sucks...i would have gone myself at 7 when it was still light out...but you said you would go for me. Now it's late and it's freezing outside...you can't back out now, that isn't fair."

Aaron:"what?"

Meg:"Aaron! wake up and go to the store."

Aaron: "Meg. Relax. I already did"

Meg: "did what? you haven't moved in the last hour."

Aaron:"I already washed the pancakes off the sofa, leave me alone."

Meg: "Ok...you are asleep. wake up and talk to me."

Aaron:"what? ...you want me to go tonight?!"

Meg: "I swear if i end up going to walmart tonight i'm going to be so flippin pissed off.

Aaron: "okay."

Meg: "Aaron, go to bed."

Reasoning with Reese II

Meg: "Reese, it's time for bed. Let's go put your jammies on."

Reese: "No thank you mommy."

Reasoning With Reese

Reese: "Grandma hold me, please?"

Grandma Lynn: "Reese, you are getting so big for me to carry you everywhere. How 'bout if you walk and I'll hold your hand?"

Reese:"noooooo, grandma hoooold me...pleeease?"

Meg: "Reese, you are too heavy to be carried around. You have legs, you can walk"

Reese: "Grandma hold me please? Grangma, my legs are broken."
