Just have to laugh

Whew! What a crazy past few days we've had around here. These girls sure keep us busy.

Jake took me out Saturday night for my birthday and we had such a wonderful time! I think it was the first time we have been out together since Kate came along. My awesome parents babysat for us. Kate was a little fussy after getting her vaccines, but they all survived! We went to California Pizza Kitchen, one of our new favorite places now, then the Chocolate Bar (yum!). We talked about how much we were looking forward to our Sunday morning of sleeping in, getting the girls in bed with us and enjoying a nice breakfast. Well Sunday did NOT go that peacefully! Let's just say Natalie took her diaper off sometime in the early morning hours and I think I heard that horror-movie movie music when I walked into her room. Later that day we REALLY thought we were going to make it to church... we were all dressed and everything. Then the girls decided to rebel. Kate is screaming like she's on fire, and Natalie raids the pantry. She dumps not one, but two full bags of tortilla chips on the floor then proceeds to dance on them. Jake and I both come around opposite corners and discover this at the same time and ask, "Where were you???" We are all sweaty from running around getting ready and an air conditioner that is not working well, Natalie is eating chips off the floor, and Kate is still screaming. Then I mention that we all need to eat something before we go, but of course I had not made it to the grocery store that week, so we literally have nothing to eat (unless you count the tortilla chips). All we can do is laugh at this point, because it's that or pull our hair out. So we conclude that we will NOT be making it to church that evening. So Jake and Natalie go grab some dinner while Kate and I calm down and clean up. Later, we ate our Taco Bell in peace while watching the live webcast of church. Maybe we will make it back there one day. Taco Bell proved to be a mistake for the Traylor girls the next day. Pretty much I summed it up as the "crappiest day of my life!" Ha. BUT it was made much better since I got many phone calls, flowers, a nice dinner, and gifts for my b-day.
Here are some pics of the girls looking sweet!
