Fakers

February 20th, 2010 · 1 Comment

This morning the twins requested waffles for breakfast (again) and I thought that is a relatively mess free meal to try out at their new table. I don’t put anything on the waffle so we should be good. With plates and sippy cups in front of them they sat quietly munching their food. They looked [...]

ETOH

February 19th, 2010 · No Comments

Remember back when you were younger and certain alcoholic beverages were held in higher esteem then they are now? I’m fairly certain in my younger years I could have muttered the following: What is this fine and refreshing beverage? So crisp and sparkling, yet only $2.19. It is joy in a solo cup! Ummm Boones [...]

Flickr is on my list

February 16th, 2010 · No Comments

I am seriously hating Flickr at the moment. I have had numerous problems with uploading, syncing, embedding, you name it. I believe I am done with that site. While going back over the web site I found numerous posts where the pictures were gone, mysteriously unlinked from Flickr. Im debating wether to try and fix [...]

The day Loen came home (2/11/08), their original due date (2/12/08 which they were NO WHERE close to making) and Derby’s homecoming (2/17/08). This year we went back to the beginning and ordered pizza and watched [...]

For the love of animals

February 11th, 2010 · 1 Comment

We don’t have any animals but we try to expose them to wildlife when possible. We go to the zoo and look at animal books. Derby loves their Little People Ark and will make the animal sounds then shout “ANIMALS!” It is all or nothing with that boy. Loen is fearless when it comes to animals, [...]

Splish Splash

February 3rd, 2010 · 1 Comment

The twins got rain gear from Oma and Papa Andy for Christmas. They really, really like playing in the rain. To the point where you have to drag them back inside or you find yourself arguing with a screaming 2 year old about why you can’t have an open wet umbrella in the house. Because being [...]
