It's milestones galore around here! Yesterday, first poop in the bathtub. Caden passed it out to me and said "Thank you!" No, thank YOU Caden! Today I scheduled an appointment to get their hair cut for the first time! What hair right? But the back of the hair is tangled and breaking off and it's only getting worse. I think their hair may ( Read more... )

I'm not a huge Halloween person. While I love to hand out candy, I'm no good at coming up with costume ideas. But, I want the girls to enjoy Halloween, so I'm trying to plan ahead a little bit and make more of an effort ( Read more... )

The thing about sleep deprivation is that it takes a few days for your body to get used to it. Day 1 though, I'm a mess. The girls definitely made me pay for leaving them with the nanny yesterday afternoon/evening while I went to the fair and Kelly Clarkson concert cancelled!. When they woke up five minutes before I was supposed to leave, both ( Read more... )

I was reading a blog post the other day about a mom who stayed home with her twins for the first year, then went back to work. If it were me and I got to stay home for a full year, I'd want the second year off. The newborn thing was great, but man, the girls are just so crazy adorable right now. I am loving this time so, so much ( Read more... )

* I hate when I get to Friday and am just completely exhausted. There are things I would like to get done tonight, to make my weekend a little freer, but I don't see it happening ( Read more... )

* I just booked a 90 minute spa facial plus a pedicure for next week. Golf in the morning, spa in the afternoon. I cannot think of a more perfect day off right now! Thank you Grandma for the very odd, supposedly belated graduation check that is funding this ( Read more... )

The nanny has strep. Ouch. She started antibiotics last night and so at this point is not contagious. She said she would call me this afternoon and let me know how she was feeling. She didn't call so I finally called her. Of course she doesn't feel the best yet and would like to stay home another day unless I need to be at work for something ( Read more... )

I was all set to come here this morning and whine about how everyone else's kids seem to take two steps one day, and then a week later are walking everywhere while my two are *still* only taking a few steps at a time. But then two things happened. First, Delaney started walking everywhere on Saturday! It's so fun! Second, a friend who was ( Read more... )

* Hottie Nick has been looking very hot lately. His hair was a little long and shaggy, plus he's been in a good mood. Today he cut his hair at lunch. I don't like it. It's too short and now he's back to just Nick ( Read more... )

So the party was Saturday. I think odd would be the best way to describe it. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but it was chaotic and well, odd. The party was from 1-4pm. My mom and Amy came early to get things ready and Night came early to feed the girls their lunch. That time from noon to 1:00 was probably the most fun. The girls were around ( Read more... )
