When naps are messed up

Sundays are hard for the girls. Church starts at 11am and goes until 2pm. Their nap normally starts at 1pm. See the problem? I had touched on this fun issue in my last post. After church we try rushing home and putting the girls right down for a nap. IF they do fall asleep they don't stay asleep very long. Normally they will go down at 1pm and sleep until 3pm or 3:30ish. On Sundays they still will wake up around 3ish totally crying. On normal days when they wake up they will play happily in their cribs until I come in. So having them wake up, not refreshed, and completely upset sets the mood for the rest of the day to be loads of fun. Here's an example of one such afternoon:

They both wanted some mama snuggle time but don't want the other one there and since they are already in such fantastic moods they just won't calm down. I know I know, I'm smiling in these pics while my poor little girls are having break downs, but sometimes when things are all out of control and crazy you can't help but just laugh. And these are by no means great pictures because the subjects were a little less than cooperative. Messed up schedules are doubly fun when you're dealing with twins.

Ok, I have to admit something. Since Jeff's and my callings don't involve us actually having to do something on Sundays, sometimes we will just go home after Sacrament meeting so that the kids can have a proper lunch and go down for their naps at normal times. Thus the rest of our Sundays can be enjoyable family time. Last Sunday was one of those Sundays, and today, since Jeff had to be somewhere during church and I had the kids all by my lonesome at church I left after Sacrament meeting again today. I know, I'm a total slacker. But since it was just me, my sanity was at stake. It wouldn't be so bad if the girls would just go to nursery without me so I can actually pay attention to the rest of my meetings, but they aren't quite ready for that. Trust me, we are definitely working on that. So now the kids are all enjoying their naps and I am enjoying some much needed quiet time and when Jeff gets home later the rest of the day will be calm and happy.
