Sore arms

side note my arms are sore today from holding babies all last night. I take care of kids during a class that we have at the church (more on the class soon) every tues. night. Normally a girl, Lachelle helps me, but she needed a night off so i was on my own last night. Emma, oh so cute, is teething and pretty much not happy unless you hold her. Her mom graciously gave her some Tylenol to help the teething and me last night, but I still held 15lbs of baby for about 3 hours last night. Then Hope, adventurous cutie, fell face first onto the concrete floor and was fussy the rest of the night. And of course when she is fussy she wants to be held. well instead of holding her i distracted her with toys and walking around the hallways. Did i mention that we are in the church offices and there is another business's art work on the wall that it at 1 and a 1/2 year olds level to touch with her chocolate hands?? we had a good time and Jason helped out for a little bit while both kids were crying beyond consolation. Then Rachelle held Emma the last 20 min. :) It is so funny how heavy babies can get after two hours of holding and not really able to sit down with them! i'm happy to not have kids for awhile after last night:)
