Playtime

I'm sure it won't be long until they will fight when playing with the same toy, or only sit in their highchairs when eating, but for now, I'm taking full advantage of the situation!

Recess for Adults

For the sake of everyone's sanity and health, we've finally decided that the kiddos are ready for a bedtime. So, every night, around 9:30 (we're late night people, what can we say?) we pick our little ones up, kiss them goodnight and put them to bed. As you can imagine, the instant we lay them down in their cribs the crying begins. We are not bothered by this anymore. In fact, our exit has become quite celebratory. It can really only be compared to the delight of recess as a child. The moment we lay them down, we nearly run out of the room in excitement. Joey jumps down the stairs in the delight, I often sing silly little made up songs about being free, high fives are given, butts may be shaken, you name it! We LOVE bedtime! Now, if we could only get Carson and Keira to agree!

Summertime!

Since the babies are too small for most summer activities, we've gone on several walks. They are a sanity saver for everyone! The fresh air and new scenery seems to cure just about every case of crankiness we've had around here!

My Little Escape Artists

Carson and Keira have become more mobile over the last month or so, which means I get to witness scenes like these:

"What? I just wanted to try this on my side!" (In case you were wondering, no, the car was not even running.)

"Sweet! This thing is even better sitting up! I've been wanting to get my mouth all over these toys for months!"

"Nothing here to see mom, just keep on doing whatever it was you were doing before you started watching me so closely."

"Yes! I'm almost out of this thing!"

"Oh crap! I'm so busted!"

Keeper!

Just wanted to share one of my new favorites with you all. (If there are any of you left reading this!)
