Couple friends and not getting to relax

When you have a partner, you have groups of friends. We have hubby’s friends, and my friends. Then sometimes we find “couple” friends… those are harder to find… friends that have a husband and wife you BOTH like. Well, we lucked out. We have a “couple” friends who also have twins! They are about the same age as ours… you saw the tops of their heads in Thursday’s post.

Anyway, we are so happy to have them as friends. They came over this afternoon. The kids played in the pool, played cars, we went on a walk, ate dinner… then around 7:40 we put them all to bed.

The friends’ kids went right to sleep.

Ours’ did not.

It is now 10:40 and ds is still in his crib talking. Their routine or setting was not changed. The didn’t even know the other twins were sleeping in other rooms. Yet, the do not sleep. I did not feed them sugar. I have changed diapers. DD finally went to sleep about 15 min ago when the other kids left and I separated her.

This wouldn’t be so bad if they would sleep until 8 or 9. 6 or 6:30 is far to early if they are going to bed so late. ESPECIALLY, if I put them to bed at 7:30 and listened to them jabber away on the monitor all evening.

Ah the joys of twins. It is not all fun and games.
