This weekend Jarred and I didn't get the boys until Saturday morning. Friday night we had planned on going to see a live theatre show at Beef and Boards in Indianapolis. We got to see Hairspray! It was fantastic.
On Saturday morning Jarred and I left and met the foster mom at a McDonalds in order to pick up the boys. We got them around 9:00 and then headed back home. Once we got home we fed them lunch and put them down for an early nap because of the toddler shower we had to go to. They went down with no problems and we had to wake them up. We woke them up around 11:30 or so in order to make sure we had enough time to get them and us ready. Around 12:30 we left and headed to the Fortner's house. The Fortners were the ones who threw the shower for us. We got to their house and it was great. They had gotten sandwiches ready, got chips, drinks, and a vegetable plate ready. It was great! People started showing up and just never stopped. It was the best thing ever to see how many supporters we had from school. My parents and little sister also showed up. Another person was my best friend from college. We had a great time and the boys go so much stuff. They enjoyed opening the two they would, but other than that they didn't want anything else to do with them. In the first two presents they got some cars and that was all. We had a blast at the shower and the boys were so tired afterwards. We drove to Frankfort to have dinner with my friend Kendra and her son at Ponderosa. We had a great dinner.
We finally got back home and got the boys ready for a bath. Finally they were ready to get in the tub. We had all these new bath toys that their "grandma" got them. They got to play with wall crayons, paint on yourself markers, and finger paint for the bathtub. My favorite toy was the one that has suction cups to stay on the wall and you can push buttons on it. It also has a white board on it so that you can write. This bath toy sings the ABC, tells numbers, sing the music scale, and a song about cleaning up. Other things on the toy include colors and shapes. It was great! One toy we tried was the swimming dog. It was interesting to see this little body dog with a huge head swim in the bathtub. I was getting ready to wash them up and wash their hair when the older boy said "poop". I asked him if he had to poop and he said "no, poop, poop, poop" as he was pointing on the other side of the tub. I got up and went over to the tub and saw a HUGE turd in the tub. It was so gross. I asked him who did it and he said his brother did it. Wow was that a crazy thing that happened. After this I took the boys out of the tub and took them to a different one in order to finish their bath. I got them cleaned up and dressed. Then they went to bed.
In the morning we got up and went to church. The boys love going to the nursery and playing with the trains. After church we came home and had lunch. Once lunch was over the boys went down for a nap because we had people coming over to play with them. Around 3:00 the Blount's came over. Aaron had such a blast playing with the boys. Jess had fun just watching the boys play. We then had to take them back to the foster family. It is so hard to take them back each weekend. Luckily we have one weekend left of taking them back and then they move in with us. MARCH 4 is approaching quickly and we are definitely excited about it.
