as the story goes
both boys love the dog and want to eat her food and drink her water. So as some may have seen the video to the left of them drinking out of the dog bowl. Here they have moved onto the toilet. I heard nothing for about 30 seconds and came around the corner to see this. They were taking turns trying to drink out of the toilet. Thomas, as you can tell form the wet head, was the sucessful one. William decided to just help him in in the end... I will keep you all updated from now on of the daily antics they will be providing... more to come
the move...
yes, we have been busy. First off, our camera is gone, well broken. so any of these posts are from my phone, not the greatest, but better than nothing. Where do I begin. Yeah for us, we finally got our house. After nine patient months we finally closed on the house on January 23. We knew it was going to happen soon from about December on but still were unsure of the day or even week. Anyway we felt sorry for the previous owners and a little awkward at the closing but here we are in our new home.
Prior to our move on Saturday, January 24. I spent my week, (where I should have been packing) with three, yes all three, puking kids. I did not get a break for sickness until at least two weeks after we moved. Anyway back to the week before. My plan was, as I am sure most people would have planned, was to pack. Sounded like a great idea. However packing was not in the cards for me and my sick family. Every night Larry would come home and I would cry and say "I just don't want it to be Saturday and everyone shows up and we throw our shit in boxes and bags" Of course this is exactly what happened. Thank God Larry and I have awesome families and friends, they just look past us and see what needed to get done and did the job. It was a disaster, it was freaking freezing, and it was dirty, but we got the job done. We most of everyone else got the job done, I still had two sick and miserable babies hanging on my legs. Melanie showed up on Saturday and did not leave (except to sleep) until Thursday. I knew I would be indebted to her, thank God I had her surprise party just around the corner, that would make up for my mess.
In any event we moved, we are 98% unpacked and we are happy. We will be eating rice and beans for a long time, but we are happy. Our house is great, it fits us all and we have enough space that we are not living on top of each other. The twins LOVE the backyard (fenced in already) and William will cry every time I bring him in. They have adjusted to the move and thankfully have recovered from 2-3 weeks of puking, coughing, runny noses.
So here are a few pictures of before the move and now in our new home.

above average
I caught some heat the other day because the twins had clips in their hair (pictures are on my phone). I also catch heat because they wear tights, pink ones, it was slim pickings at the store. They are looking at me everyday and when they see me with clips in my hair they want to wear them too. They get upset if I take them out, so i leave them in until they fall out. As for the tights, it is cold on the floor and in the rule book, no where does it say that they are not allowed to wear tights and an under layer, (aunt Kim).
My point is, that obviously wearing tights and clips have not affected my above average toddlers. When we put them in the tub last night as always we threw in some toys. Well, look at that aunt Kim. Whose initials is that on the wall, and isn't he so proud of himself. Of course he is proud because he realized that the letters stick to the wall, but maybe he realizes he put his initials up there too... That's my boy!

snow day
The twins are walkers now which in some cases has made my life a little easier. They love being outside, but for me to get both kids outside in the snow is not an easy task. I was holding out on buying them snow suits hoping that I could just wait until next year. However, I broke down and got them since we are starting a play group this week that involves being outside. They are good walkers (inside) but put them in a layer with three inches around every limb and boots that is a different story. William could not move and Thomas made the best of the situation. As soon as I put them down Thomas started to move and roll down the lawn.
