Scary Disney Movies

What is it with Disney – supposedly FAMILY oriented Disney – that makes them have a scary part in pretty much every single movie?? Don’t get me wrong. I’m a *huge* Disney fan – I was a member of the Disney Movie Club long before I had kids. But wow. I guess you don’t really [...]

Sleeping Babies

Oooh! How fun! Who Says 8 is Enough just asked for sleeping baby pictures. I’m game!
Here are Burke and Maggie while they were still in the hospital (2005) – obviously after they got out of the incubators. This is the picture we used for their announcement cards.

And here’s Logan (2007). This is the picture we [...]

Let’s Go Fly a Kite

Mike took the Twins to the Park to fly their kites for the first time yesterday. They had a blast! Mike said that the other parents were in awe when he was able to get both kites up for the kids at the SAME TIME! I missed it since Logan was napping. (You’re totally singing [...]

It’s EVERYWHERE!

…except maybe the diaper. Ya. It’s been one of THOSE days. Logan exploded through his diaper while sitting in his high chair this morning. A complete outfit change and a full load of laundry later…all is back to normal. Well, whatever normal happens to be at the moment.
It’s EVERYWHERE Again!!
…except maybe the paper. [...]

PB (Pre-Blog) – Getting Rid of the Pacifiers

It’s a slow day, so I thought I’d write about something I know I would have written about had I been blogging when it happened So – this is “Pre-Blog” or PB.
The twins relied on their pacifiers for WAY too long. We were good about not letting them have them at any time [...]

We Have 3 Kids!

No. This isn’t news. I mean, we’ve known we were going to have 3 for oh, about a year and a half or so now (Logan IS 10 months old). And we always said we’d have 3 kids – even before we got married. But OH MY GOD! We have 3 kids!!!
I think I was [...]

Bounce, Run, Jump, Bounce, run, Jump …

The twins had their first gym class today. WOW. I am so incredibly impressed with this place!! GymStreet USA seems to have thought of EVERYTHING. There’s a snack bar for parents who are waiting for their kids (with WiFi) that’s located pretty centrally with LOTS of windows to the surrounding rooms so you can watch [...]

Really? You want the ORANGE one??

This was Mike’s reaction when, after we test drove the black Kia Spectra, I announced that I liked the orange one better. Tee hee Yup – we are the proud new owners of a 2008 Kia Spectra! And yup, it’s orange. Not the construction truck kind of orange, but like a burnt or coppery kind [...]

Monster Spray

A very clever mom taught me about Monster Spray. (She’s also a good friend, a former co-worker, and an essential oil guru – don’t worry, Paula, I won’t mention any names )  She said that kids like to be in control – especially when they don’t feel like they have it – and [...]

Perhaps it’s Time

…for a bigger swing!!

Burke decided to try out Logan’s swing. You KNOW you’re too big when you can reach all of the controls yourself. LOL
