Monday.

I hate Mondays. I dreaded today. My parents left for Hawaii for a week. Jason works nights. So I'm alone with my kids this week. Yes, I know I'm the mom and I should be able to handle the dinner, bath, bed time routine, but it's really hard with 2 babies. I'm trying not to complain, but IT IS HARD.

But guess what?

I DID IT, with flying colors!

The babies awoke from their naps about 4:00. We went to the park until it started to get dark around 5:15, we came home, I made a quick dinner. Fed the twins, then bathed them... they played while Derek and I ate dinner. The twins were in bed at 6:45.. so EASY. No problems. Derek took a bath and was in bed by 7:45. It was a good night. I'm proud of myself. Usually when 5:00 hits at the Castellon house, it's CHAOS. Not today. The witching hours (as my friend Genny calls it) did not happen tonight. I hope the rest of the week goes like tonight did.

Now a few park pictures...

The first time in the swings, and loving it!





Get your foot away from my face!

See, ALWAYS fighting!

I totally feel your pain, but quiet possibly not as intense! I HATE doing everything on my own, I'm so spoiled to have Joe to help all the time but the days that he has to work late it SUCKS!!!! Sometimes you just need that extra adult in the house!
