Monsters Are Eating My Brain

We’ve found out, when bathing our sons
Two parents work better than one
As they dodge and they flee
All too often there’ll be
Two naked behinds on the run

So much fun to look back at us one year ago at the pumpkin patch and see how much the kiddos have changed! Time is going way too fast… This year the boys had a blast at the pumpkin patch and none of the kids wanted to go home, [...]

Often times, Lidia likes to shower with me. I don’t mind because this is time that I get to spend with just her–no boys to step on her attention. We have great conversations in the shower (and plus it is much easier to wash all that hair of hers).
This morning, she joined me in [...]

Well, the Princess made a new milestone in little-girldom last night. She had her very first friend stay “all night long!” She was quite excited to invite her friend Naomi for a sleep over.
First let me re-cap our day. We were pretty busy for the most part. I got up and got everyone fed [...]

Yes, I have been MIA–for a long time. I apologize. I get behind and it suddenly becomes an overwhelming task to post a blog because I feel like there is SO much that has happened. I could never possibly catch up and relay it all. So instead, I just shy away from it. Needless to [...]

A Belly Lament
by Me
On my post-twin body, I’ll be blunt.
It’s my belly that suffered the brunt
For it stretched out so wide with 2 babies inside
now it looks like a butt on the front.
Feel free to join in my limerick game– let me know if you write one, so I don’t miss [...]

Fair warning–this will be a whine/rant/complainy post.
Here is a snapshot of my night.
7:30pm– The boys start getting cranky and rubbing their eyes. Looks like time for bed. They’re wanting to nurse, so we did that and once they were done, I put them down for bed. This was about 7:45. Both boys disliked this option [...]

So soon after returning from vacation, we took a ride to the local airport yesterday and dropped the hubby off. Work has called him to California, much to my dislike. Though things probably won’t be as difficult as they were while he was in the Philippines back in May, single parenting infants and a preschooler [...]

In the past 3 or 4 years, we have neglected to go on any big vacations. We have 3 wonderful little reasons to blame for this. The first year, we spent all of our vacation time (and money) on 2 trips to the Far East – our mission to bring home our Russian Princess. While [...]

All morning long, Lidia was bubbling with excitement over school. She must have asked if it was time for school 100 times. When the time finally came, she raced ahead of me to the garage, doing anything she could to help me and speed up this process. Once we arrived, she could not wait to [...]
