Hot Off the Press!

Recall my post a while back about Lilly and Diana 'modeling' in a photo shoot for a local baby boutique called Bebe Gate?   Well, the girls made the ad, and I officially have a copy of the magazine in my hands before it hits the shelves thanks to my friend Allison who works for Indianapolis Monthly!

If you so happen to live in Indy and get this magazine, it is on page 109.  You can't miss it - it's opposite the page of two half-naked women advertising sexual lingerie.  I am thinking that the owner of the lingerie store may not find that as funny as the owner of Bebe Gate.  Trying to market lingerie to men for Valentines' Day while they stare at an entire page of babies is probably not the best marketing approach...............but, ANYWAY.............!!  I also had to laugh that the cover of the magazine this month says, "Indianapolis, Let's Get Cooking".  I sense some irony considering that at nearly 32 years old, I am FINALLY cooking for my husband (and kids)!



On Friday Lil, Di and I continued with our "Friday Funday" and hit up the mall for yet another meal at Chick-fil-A and an hour of fun at the play gym.  I am happy to report that I found two functional high chairs right away with no need for additional help.  Crisis averted!

I can't think of two better lunch dates!
Di and Lil actually standing side-by-side...a rarity these days!

On Saturday, Courtney and Marcy came up for a couple of hours to hang out with the girls and then Matt and I prepared for a big night out on the town...something that hasn't happened in almost a year.  Twenty-four hours and a hangover later, I am telling you that it may be another year until I do THAT again!  Actually, we had a lot of fun and wish we did that more often!  We went out with Klint and Allison (who's daughter came over here while their cousin and her roommate watched all 3 girls), Mindy, Brady and Aaron.  By the way I feel today, you would think I stayed out until 2am, but it was more like 11:30pm.  We are CRAZY kids, I know.  :)

It appears Diana, Rory and Lilly have started their own book club!  (Rory showed up in the same shirt as Lil!)


What better way to cure a hangover than to take two 11 month olds to the Children's Museum?!  It was that or sit at home with them so we chose the lesser of two evils.  Lil and Di LOVED the museum and were definitely not ready to go when we finally called it a day.  I am thinking that a membership might be in our future (perhaps on Feb. 8...their birthday?!)

Di and Lil waiting patiently in line.
Crawling through a tunnel at lightning speed!  Di is quick!
Here comes Lil! 
Diana taking Lilly to the dumpster!
Lilly found the perfect place to play peek-a-boo!  Where is Lilly....?? 
There she is!! 
And there she is again!! (and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again.....)
All smiles from Miss Diana! 
Together at last! 
Daddy taking a 30 second time-out from his cell phone to keep an eye on the girls!  (But to his defense...it IS Sunday, and we did manage to make it home before the 1st game of the day.  He was a trooper!)
"Mom, I'm bored with the 2 and under section.  Why can't I go play with the big kids in the water section?"

And to cap off our weekend, Mark and Steph came over to visit the girls and watch some football.  My goal tonight was to be in bed by 9:00 and it's 8:57.  Good night.
