My Minions!! Halloween 2011

I had these great ambitions and plans to make Halloween costumes for Haddyn and Stetson like I do every year, but having twins 2 weeks before Halloween put a little crap in my giddy-up. They both wanted to be minions from Despicable Me and I had gone through all of the trouble of buying everything for the costumes and making my husband and children consume a close to lethal amount of cheese balls, so they were going to happen! So, we all came home with our two beautiful new additions to the family the night before Halloween with no costumes made. Hmm...
Well, Scott being the talented and sweet husband that he is knew I wasn't going to be able to feed, change, pump, etc and still get two little minion heads constructed in time...so he took over!! I instructed and he constructed. We made a great team, but he did all of the work! They turned out soooo cute! The best part---under $10 a piece!! Look close...Stetson's "bucket" is an upside down Winnie the Pooh hat. HA!
The kids had fun, but poor Stets was not feeling well and he and I actually ended up in the emergency room that night afraid he had pneumonia. Stupid evening medical clinic. That's a story for another day, but let's just say a woman who delivered twins two weeks before and JUST got her babies home from NICU does not deal well with being told her 2 year old is in respiratory distress and needing to be admitted to the hospital when in fact, his lungs are completely clear and he merely has a upper respiratory infection...AKA--a cold. Awesome. Let's just say we won't be going back to that clinic!
Anyway, I loved the costumes and I'll include a cute pic of the babies too, even though they didn't dress up ;)
Crue on Left, Case on Right---Look at those double chins and bellies!! The other day Scott was talking about how funny it is that they have gained all of their weight in their face and belly and still have chicken legs and I said, "It's cause they're Moulton's!" ha,ha I'm so funny :) Well, I'm sure glad they are Moulton's. I think we make pretty darn cute kids myself!

We're Home!

Alright, so I'm almost a week behind on this post...but get used to it! ha,ha We got to bring our sweet little guys home last Sunday evening and it has been a whirlwind of a week for our entire house. The boys are doing GREAT though and have passed their birth weights already!!! As of Wednesday Case weighed 5 lbs 15 oz and Crue weighed 6 lbs 2 oz. I'm so proud of them! They are doing a little better at nursing every day, but I sure do hope they will eventually catch on enough to be full time breast feeders or it will be a long year of me pumping every 3 hours. ugh! Scott is the best help ever and has been off all week, but we will all be so sad for him to go back to work on Monday. Stetson is as easy going as ever and pretty much just rolls with the punches of life. Haddyn is struggling a bit and therefore the entire family is struggling :) I love her little perfectionist self, but as much as I know what to expect with her, I don't have any idea how to make life easier for her! I just pray she will find our new "routine" quickly and get her overflowing drama and tears under control...for her sake and her parent's sake! :) We love her!!
I will be back soon to post some pictures of everyone, especially those ever growing and changing new babies.
Oh yah, just a side note, speaking of our sweet Haddyn. Everyone in the house except me and the babies have been sick this week (another super fun element to our crazy week). Anyway, that has included a nice batch of diarrhea. (sorry to inform you of that, but it's pertinent info, I swear) So, as I was saying, the other morning Haddyn called me into her room saying she needed to use the bathroom. Unfortunately, she didn't make it quite fast enough. As she finished up her business, she headed into the bedroom to lay in bed with Scott with only a shirt on. When Scott asked her where her panties were Haddyn simply replied with her one eye squinting and her fingers about 1/2 an inch apart, "They have a lit-tle bit of fungicide in them." NO idea where she got that word from, but it was hilarious!
Pics and Halloween post to come soon.....
