We wore them out?

As I write this, the babies are asleep. No, that isn't unusual for this late at night, but the unusual part - they went to sleep almost as soon as they went to bed - all 3 of them! Usually, Nick is asleep by the time you leave the room; Logan plays for 5-10 minutes and then goes to sleep; and Alex could be up playing for a 1/2 hour before he's out. Guess we "played 'em hard" tonight!

This afternoon we took them to the park to walk around. They enjoyed watching all the kids playing in the sprinklers/playground. Adam and I got excited thinking about the day we could take them there to run through the water and play.


Tonight we let them go through the gates and play in the kitchen and dining room areas too. They were little speed demons going back and forth from one thing to the next. Twice in one day to be out of their play room for a while - and it was nice family time for all of us. At one point, Alex and Nick were climbing up the stairs together. Alex climbed all the way to the top of the stairs - and didn't stop as he went straight into our bedroom to see what he could get into. He wasn't so good at going back down the stairs. Back in the kitchen, they loved to play under the table, crawling through the chair legs and looking out the back window into the yard. It definitely helped to have both of us wrangling the boys as they were in different rooms (or blocking them from the areas that still aren't quite baby-proofed).

I have some cute pictures of them playing that I'll post soon.
