What a weekend!

I know... this is late, but better now than never. It's been in draft since Monday... The boys kept asking me to publish it, but I'm just now getting around to it...

Whew! What a weekend! Alex, Logan and Nick here. Mom and dad are off "putting the house back together" after our busy weekend, so we thought we'd tell everyone in blog world hi. Where is blog world again? ... Stay focused Logan! ... right...

Friday night after dinner and some play time, mom and dad loaded us in the van again for our weekly trip to the store. This time you two (Nick and Logan) went with dad in the stroller and I (Alex) stayed in the cart with mom. They put tons of stuff in the cart and we were there for quite a while (although I guess we haven't learned how to tell time yet... seemed like a long time anyway). You two kept disappearing down different aisles so I kept singing for you so you'd come back. I actually got a couple of compliements on my voice! Of course there were a couple of people that looked strangely at me... guess they didn't like the song! Then it was time to head home. The lady checking us out sure took forever (and mom even said the same thing). She talked a lot too. It gave plenty of people time to walk by and say hi. Most of them kept asking "are they twins?" I had to sing even louder for them to notice me in the cart!

Saturday it we went for another ride in the van. We got to go to someone else's house to play, Jennifer and Derek's. They are expecting a baby in September, so they already had some stuff set up for us. But, as always, we brought more! There were plenty of people there to give us attention. We got to play in their basement. The carpet looked so clean and was cushiony... Yeah, mom said they just finished it last year while she was in the hopsital waiting for us. Everything down there was so nice and new. Good thing we kept our food down that day! But it was huge down there... we could crawl for miles... and we did! We had a such good time playing with all the adults, we didn't want to take naps. Mom and dad tried to put us down, they even had the new crib and baby Kohlhagen's pack n play (plus our pack n play) set up for us, but how were we supposed to sleep when 8 people were ready to dote on us!? Logan, was it you that was set up to get married already? I know dad was talking about if Lauren's baby (due in January) is a girl that maybe she'd be my wife. Guess we'll see! Eventually it was time to pack up and go. Alex, you fell asleep on dad before we left and we all slept in the car. And yet we were all ready for bed after we got home and had some dinner.

We slept good that night... well, the two of you did anyway. I (Logan) was so excited that I am finaly able to stand myself up in bed that I woke up in the middle of the night and pulled myself up! Unfortunately, I'm still working on how to sit down, so I had to call mom in to help me get back down.

Sunday was another big day! It was Grandma Judy's birthday so they came down and we all went out to eat. Aunt Audrey's birthday was also this week so we celebrated her birthday too. We got to go to my roadhouse... It's not your roadhouse, Logan... It's Logan's Roadhouse... I know, that's what I said... Anyway, mom gave me (Alex) a couple of small bites of the bread that was brought to the table. It kinda tasted weird, but I ate it. Logan, you had a bite of it too, didn't you? Yeah, but I must have liked it better... You must have, you kept yours down. Alex, you threw yours up (along with most of lunch) and it went all over the table! If it would have been much more, Grandma would have had it in her lap... Yeah, mom didn't give me any more after that! Between that and the singing... tell me again why they have to sing that silly birthday song so loud - I don't like it! After dinner we went back home and got to play with Grandma, Grandpa, Audrey and David for a while. That was pretty cool. Of course, mom and dad tried to put us down for our naps again, but we resisted. Speak for yourself, I slept just fine. Yeah, Nick, you slept right through everything! Alex and I were laughing so hard at each other - again, I was pretty excited to be able to stand up and see Alex across the room! I think they were listening to us laugh on the monitor, but it didn't matter. We kept at it for a while. Next time you'll have to join us Nick!

Well, it's back to another week. Weekends go so fast. I wonder what we'll do next weekend?!
