Waking up in a foul mood.

You know it is going to be a bad day when you wake up, look at your daughter who is staring you down and realize, one side of her hair is slightly (2 inches) shorter than the other. Then through the fuzzy eyes, look at her hand and realize your husband left the scissors on the table last night... GRR. Then you walk into the kitchen, see a pumpkin on the floor with a piece knocked out of it. I will post pictures of the before pumpkins and we will see how long they stay in that condition. Ok, back to my finds, I look at my son, who is sleeping on the couch, and notice the top of the pumpkin is tucked in next to his head on his pillow as he snores away. Sis is slick, I must say. I heard this commotion, but noticed my husband was not in bed, so assumed that he was with them..WRONG. He was not home, he was drinking coffee with my mom and dad...ugh.



On another note, Blake slept til 9 am. This is a rare occurrence. We went to my moms and he decided he wanted to pee on a tree. Ahh the pluses to living in the country are endless. He successfully takes his diaper off, know he has to go, and peed on that tree. Then refused a diaper and said "I want big boys panties on" LOL So here we go on trying to go no diaper for Blake! Will keep you advised!

The logic of a 2 yr old.

My sweet little 2 year old daughter...Ok...My 2 year old daughter has already started practicing to be a teenager. She was told to leave something alone, it would hurt her. She turns,tells my mom "You don't need to worry about it" turns back around, and kicks the said object. I laughed. Is that bad?

Yesterday a dear twin friend of mine posted a FB status about her school age son being in trouble with the teacher. I giggled, read it to my mom and we were laughing. Blake says "Mom, stop laughing, it's NOT funny." So I have to apologize to Cameron. Sorry girl, I got scolded for laughing. I am sure I will get mine.

My back has hurt for several weeks now. Anyone who has had a backache knows, putting pants on is a chore! Well my foot slipped, I groaned. Bethany asked" You ok momma?" I said yeah I just hurt. Her response "where ya hurt so I kiss it and make it better"

There is nothing more horrifying than a naked toddler proclaiming "I POOPED" next to the couch. Yes there is, finding out he was telling the truth :/ On the other hand, my daughter successfully used a catbox ::Shakes head:: Some days I wonder if I am raising children or being an unpaid zookeeper.

When someone sneezes the twinks say "Bless you!" Today Bethany sneezed and my mom and I both said bless you. She said Oh thank you guys.

Blake likes to tell me he loves me. I like it too :)

What do you think about twins?

What kind of question is that? Which twins, Mary Kate and Ashley Olson?? Well my dr asked me that 3 years ago today. I have to say I had NO idea how I was going to handle that information. The longer I thought about it, the more anxious I got. When I saw those 2 blobs on that screen, I had a love fill my heart and a fear fill every other part of me. Oh how I love those blobs. Some days I wonder why God chose me, ME, to carry, have, and mother these 2 amazing children (WAAAA what happened to me inserting the word "babies" there???). Challenging? doesn't even begin to describe some days. Frustration? Times 2 please! Ahh sweet sweet bedtime.

Random things from the mouths of my twins.

Someone told me a few days ago, I need to start writing down the funny things my twins say. Let's be honest here, I call Bethany little momma for a reason. Here are some wise cracks from Blake and Bethany that I can remember. I am going back through my facebook status's so I will add more. Enjoy!

I walked into the living room to find my wonderful children had not bothered to wake me to get them a drink. They poured themselves a glass of Tea. Then, decided the carpet needed a drink...the whole Gallon...

Being a Twin Mom

When the dr. said "What do you think about twins?" My answer was, "Umm, I am OK with that" What else are you supposed to say? NO I want THAT one? Now, nearly 21 months later, I am still in love with those 2 little peanuts I saw that day.

Being a twin mom DEFINITELY has its ups and downs. There are 2 to love and snuggle, 2 diapers to change, 2 monkeys you have to dress hoping the first one stays dressed while on the second one. There are some moms out there that I SERIOUSLY owe my sanity to. They are going this twin-tastic adventure right along with me.

For those that have never experienced twins, you have NO comparison, I guarantee. I truly want to pull my hair out when I hear "I had my kids 10 (14,16, whatever) months apart so I know what you are going through" Well, unless your 10 month old is VERY delayed you have NO idea. 2 waking infants that want nothing more than mommy to hold them, 2 screaming hungry babies that can't hold their bottle, 2 toddlers that won't stay in their beds, 2 toddlers that have the "I DO IT" attitude when it comes to feeding. 2 sick kids (because they HAVE to do it at the same time).

As we get closer to their 2nd birthday I get sad that my babies are now little people, and they will probably be my only babies. I truly enjoy every moment with them, some more than others.
