The kids "Going to Bed"

So this video is only of my kids' bedroom door. Kinda boring, I know. BUT putting the babies in the same room (so Michaela can have her own room) has been an adventure. Sometimes frustrating and sometimes really funny. Tonight I put them to bed and for an HOUR they had a screaming contest. Ryan would scream so hard that he would cough....they would both laugh and then Macey would scream so hard she started coughing. I couldn't even tell who was who. So I went upstairs to catch it on tape just because these are the kinds of things that make being a mom fun and one of those things I will want to remember. When I got upstairs I realized they were both jumping in their cribs too and that made me laugh even harder. I wish I could have snuck the video camera in, but just the sound will have to suffice. I caught them in a lull so sorry it takes a minute for them to really get going. I realize that you all will not think it's quite as funny as me, but I had some requests from family members....so here it is!



MOTHER'S DAY

Well, my report on Mother's Day is so typically "Miller" it makes me laugh. First, I don't have any pictures. Second, there was no pampering...no breakfast in bed...no big bouquet of flowers. Scott is really sick so he got to enjoy all of the mother's day priviliges. Instead, I woke up with my kids at 4:30 (one of the frustrating parts of having the babies in the same room)...gave the kids baths, made my own sad little mother's day protein shake breakfast and hauled the kids off to church by myself. So - my real mother's day came when my kids were PERFECT during church! PERFECT. Sat all through sacrament...even when I had to get up to play the piano. Macey fell asleep on me...Ryan 'sang' the songs with me. Then they both took 3 hour naps when we got home. Perfect.

In case you are all feeling sorry for my protein shake breakfast...I should tell you that Scott already gave me my mother's day present last week so it was okay that his poor little sickie self slept in :)
