5 more days

Only 5 more days until my little cuties turn 2.  I can't believe how fast it has gone by and how much they have grown and changed.  I am always amazed at the fact that this all seems so new to me with each child.  For me, it's like being a new mom all over again.  I know that this next year will be huge changes for Sam and Eli and am looking forward to watching them grow.  We are having their birthday party this Saturday, I will post pics from the party shortly after.

Backyardigans...

Peek A Boo

Little Baby Chicks

Funny Little Man

One night at dinner, Jake informed me that he came up with a new joke that went something like this:

What type of noodles do cows eat?

Moodles!

Pretty clever Jake, pretty clever!

John Cusack

After watching a John and Joan Cusack movie last night, I have decided that they are the LaToya and Michael combo of white folks.  I am now wondering if they are the same as I believe that Michael and LaToya are.  Anyone?

It's so cold, it ought to be snowing!

Maybe if I close my eyes and wish real hard, I'll get everything I want.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Bubba!

Happy B-Day to my big boy!

Just another day in Paradise:)

11 a.m. - thing 1 and thing 2 wake up after only taking a short morning nap

12 - lunch, not eating, only throwing food on the floor

1 - pick up oldest a preschool who was sent to principal's office for things I would rather not mention (read, mortified!)

2 - go to get thing 1 and thing 2 out of eldest child's room when I smell that lovely smell that is all too familiar to me these days and it went like this:

*pick up thing 2 and get poop all over the front of my sweater (yuck!)

*lay him down on changing table and get poop all over the changing table (yuck)

*while managing to hold thing 2 down, change his diaper and not get poo anywhere else, thing 1 gets the dirty diaper out of the diaper pail (don't even have a word for how gross this is)

Now that I have them off the bottle, I am back on it.  Just kidding, I guess it could have been worse.

Happy Thanksgiving!

My Little Chief - what a cutie!!!

I am supermom!

I feel like Supermom today.  I managed to go to the polls and wait in line with twins in tow for two hours.  Yay, I did it!!!!  Now lets just hope the right one wins!

Just Hangin' Out

Conversations for a 4 year old

Him Looking at Clock: Mommy, what are those letters on the clock?

Me: Those are roman numerals.

Him: Roman Noodles?

Me: Yes son, roman noodles

Him: Oh, so those are ramen noodles

Me: Yes son, ramen noodles

Keanu Reeves

Okay, I just saw a mmercial for his new movie.  OMG, he looks so freakin old.  I am praying that it's only makeup, because if he's old then I'm old.  Man it sucks getting old!  Maybe it was just his makeup.

Haircuts

Today we attempted to get Thing 1 & Thing 2's hair cut.  Can't they just come up with a temporary medicine that knocks them out for 15 minutes so they can get a hair cut?  The thought of doing this again anytime soon makes me think that they will have hair like all of the boys do now (think - Goldilocks).  Maybe they should give the medicine to the parents for the 15 minutes, that would do the trick!  I think I would be getting their hair cut every other week:)

Pixos!!

I am so hooked.  I didn't know that I would like my kid's toys or I would have tried them out sooner.  So far my favorites are the American Flag and the monkey.  If you haven't tried them, you should.  

My visit to the dentist

Okay, so I went to the dentist today for a cleaning.  As I am laying there in the chair feeling completely awkward, I wonder what does everyone else do when they are getting their teeth cleaned?  Eyes open or closed?  I actually find it impossible to keep my tongue still and the more that I think about it, the harder it becomes.  All I can do is hope that I am not a freak and that this is normal.  I would hate being a hygienist, my hats off to them!

Pudding

Don't you just love that warm, mushy, squishy cheek that a baby has when they wake up?  I think it feels like warm pudding and it is one thing that I hope I can always remember.

Eli Walking

Yay Eli!  He is actually taking a few steps.  I guess that all we had to do was give him a deadline and he would listen.  If only parenting worked like this, life would be so easy!  Anyway, we are very proud of him.
