Zack and Austin

We got to babysit Zack and Austin for a couple of hours today. They are cute, fun boys. Heidi was a brat and dressed them the same today. It was the first time that I have called them by the wrong names. (In my defense, they were all the way down the hall and my eyesight isn’t what it used to be.) Heidi and I had planned everything just right so that the three babies could have a synchronized nap. They apparently didn’t get the memo, because none of them even took a nap. I guess they just figured that there was too much fun to be had to waste time sleeping. We got out 30 or 40 little balls and that was our entertainment for the afternoon. They have an exceptionally long attention span where throwing balls is concerned.

Zack is on the left; Austin is on the right. It’s easy when they are right next to each other! They loved throwing balls down the stairs.

Abby is all about shoes these days. She was pretty excited about having two new pair just her size in the house. She wore them and/or carried them around the whole time the boys were here.

In other news, Ben lost another tooth today. Aunt Heidi was here picking up the boys when he came in to tell us, so she got to see the excitement while it was still fresh. He was just plain giddy about it. He has another super loose tooth that he was doing his best to pull all night. He thought it would be great to get a two-for-one visit from the tooth fairy. In spite of his best efforts, he didn’t manage to get the second tooth out. He even recruited Emily’s help since she has experience with pulling teeth.
