Now that I am all grown up, family of my own and all, somehow that occasional weekend is something they have grown accustomed to and still require. So with hubs, kids and dog in tow we are headed up for a whirlwind tour this weekend. And a weekend it will surely be.

My Blood Runneth Orange...not really but for effect and everything
Now that I am all grown up, family of my own and all, somehow that occasional weekend is something they have grown accustomed to and still require. So with hubs, kids and dog in tow we are headed up for a whirlwind tour this weekend. And a weekend it will surely be.

Starting to Feel My Age
- I couldn't figure out something very simple on the computer today and got really frustrated
- I read my weekly people magazine last night and didn't know who one of "those vampire people" were
- I am scheduled for a cut and color tomorrow and realized that it will be my first in about 4 months. (In a former life it was about every 6 weeks)
- I don't wear spikey heels anymore and swore that would never happen (Flats are so much more comfortable--I hope they never go out of style)
- I am finding myself more and more just wanting to pay someone to do something for me instead of doing it myself
- 7am is the new 9am, and therefore 10pm is the new midnight
- I used to love to throw a party/shower/gathering/whatever you want to call it but it has now lost its pizazz. Probably because I still average about one a month. Once we get through all the babies I figure I'll be done until my friends children start getting married so I need to still enjoy while it lasts. Then I will feel even older.
- Hubs and I went to a concert a few weekends ago to celebrate our anniversary and we actually got to sit for at least 1/2 of the concert.....and I was happy about it. Thank you Michael Bluble.
Here's to growing old...or getting older at least!

Better Late than Never
We haven't watched the video yet. I am sure it will come in handy for those rehearsal dinners down the road or first date's.
I still am a little remoreseful that their baby curls are gone, even though I told the girl not to cut them. She just wanted to "trim them". They haven't been the same curl since.

......papa, papa, paparazzi.
Sunday along with about 100 other things we fit into this weekend, we went on our first trek of "Babypalooza 2010" to visit sweet baby Maria. She is very precious and sure to be one of the ladies Will and Spence will fight over very soon.
While I was visiting with Maria's mom, the hubs and the kiddo's went on their own adventure. When they came to pick me up I was so happy that they surprised me with an early mothers day gift! Whoo hoo for no more pictures of back of kids heads by the time the flash goes off.
Anyway, as I said in my earlier post our early morning route is always changing, so yesterday hub's thought it would be good to throw in a photo shoot as well. Spence (pictured here) obviously is my morning child, and is hamming it up. Will wasn't up to having any of it, and requested the after lunch shoot. I think he may still be in negotiations with his agent. I'll try to post pictures of him soon!

These Shoes are Made for Walking....
We are having a lot of firsts lately and this morning was one of them. It is kind of bitter sweet. My children aren't considered infants anymore. When we woke this morning instead of the normal carry from crib to highchair (simultaneously of course for my morning arm workout) for breakfast both boys walked from the nursery into the kitchen. It seems just like yesterday that they got their first pair of "big boy" shoes. Hard to believe this was already two months ago. I know it seems small but this is a really big deal in my book.
They have been walking for a good while now but never as independent as this morning. As if this fete were not enough, after breakfast as I was changing Will's diaper and I asked Spence to go bring me his shoes, and he brought me all 4. This fetching thing might come in handy! I am pretty sure we are right on the brink of a few other breakthroughs so when those emerge then I will be happy to post those developments as well.
It really just seeems like we brought our babies home from the hospital a couple of months ago. I know numerous people who have had babies over the past week. To them(who am I kidding, they don't have time to read this yet)I encourage you to enjoy every stage..... even the less enjoyable elements you will look back and somewhat miss since that bridges you to the next fun stage. It really does change your life forever. "Babypalooza" as I have deemed it began last week and continues until October. It seems just about everyone I know is having a baby. Dont worry we are not adding the 5th to our household just yet. Only Zoey qualifies.

My Own Personal Comedian
Friday, April 23, 2010
Oh Boy, here we go!
I like to think in my own imaginary world that nothing can stop me, but after February 12, 2009. I have A LOT less free time. Hence no blog entries until today. I sometimes imagine what I did with all my free time. Things I know I used to do for example:
1. Run into a store to look not to buy
2. Talk to those I see that I know
3. Buy as much that would fit into my buggy
This is now how that 1-3 senario goes
1. I only go to a store to buy items I know of in advance. We dont run into a store. We park. Get out the stroller. Put the kids in said stroller. Make sure we have diapers, snacks, and anything else that might be needed during our 20 minute trip.
2. Talk to everyone we see because with twins almost everyone wants to talk to you. "Twins!", "Double Trouble!", "You've got your hands full!", "They look just alike!" Those are the top comments we get.
3. I dont get a buggy anymore because the only store that I know of that has double seats standard for all buggys is Sams. Therefore I live in constant fear that some store manager is going to accuse me of shoplifiting because everything I buy has to fit under the kids seats.
I love my chidren, but I realize I have become one of those people that talks alot about them so much I try to be concious of it when taking to my friends that dont have kids yet. Childless people rarely care about what the boys "new thing" is. So why not blog about it? I have such a lack of free time I figured why not add something else to this mix! I am bad about updating family and friends so maybe this will make my life easier in the long run. Enjoy.
