I always put the twins in their crib before I take a shower. It cuts down on any unsupervised mayhem. Today when I got out I went into their room to release the hounds. One little girl was running around her room saying “I play a minute”. I had to hide my face so she [...]

Monterey
April 23rd, 2010 · 1 Comment
I thought it would be a nice break after tax season (which seemed to drag on FOREVER this year) to take the twins to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Naturally we would spend the night because no one wanted to drive 8 hours round trip in one day. I spent days looking at hotels and special [...]
DAFO

This year we took the twins to an Easter Egg hunt merely for the fact that I was the one running it (I am a co-social chair for the SB Parents of Multiples, Easter was my bag). I think they are still a little young and there will be YEARS of hunts to come but [...]

Yesterday I was catching up on emails while the twins were playing. All of a sudden windows started popping up and characters I did not type appeared in my email. I was trying to figure out what was going on. Virus? Poltergeist? Then I heard the familiar sound of beeps and keys tapping in the [...]

Yo Gabba

We’re a little late getting on the Yo Gabba Gabba bandwagon. I downloaded some episodes now that tax season seems to be dragging on and I needed something new in my toddler containment arsenal.

A different path home

I started this LAST YEAR but we know how lax I have become with posting. I am spending today finishing posts, updating pics etc. Enjoy going back in time. December 13, 2009 This morning we had the twins baptized at El Montecito Presbyterian, a church we have recently begun to attend. The baptism was at [...]
