Bye bye bottles?

I have been trying to wean the girls off the bottle.  They only have one bottle a day of milk (no formula) right before bed.  Well, last night their 2 bottles were dirty so I thought, "Why not try to wean them off the bottle tonight?"  Just an FYI, I have packed away ALL of their bottles except for 2.  We needed the shelf space to unpack kitchen stuff that has been in storage since we lived in Virginia.  Nothing like procrastinating.  Anyway, back to the story.  I gave them both a sippy cup of milk around 6:30 pm.  At 7 pm, I put them to bed and told them 'night-night' which is code word for "lay down and go to bed, mamma needs a break".  They both began fussing.  After 15 minutes, the fussing became full on screaming and crying.  I scrambled upstairs a few times to calm them down.  After 45 minutes, I finally washed the 2 bottles and gave in.  I brought them downstairs screaming and hollering.  They both were so out of control screaming that even Jason heard them from down in his man cave (his basement office).  He came upstairs and helped me calm them down and prepare their bottles.  We both laughed over my genius plan to stop the evening bottle.  Silly me!  One of these days we will be bottle free.  I just don't know when.

Poor Miss Jill after screaming for the past hour

Even Miss Kate has a blotchy face from screaming and crying.
