March 19th-25th

(3/19) Dear J, it is not light at 4am and our day does not start then.  Nor does it start at 5am when Mom's alarm goes off.  It does for Mom, not you.  Stay asleep!  After a bazillion cups of coffee, I made it through work to Kathy's to pick the kids up.  She has nick-named our boys Trouble (D) & Double Trouble (J).  They are into everything these days!

I discovered the secret of stretching the bag of tortellini so we all get some, and that is to add an entire bag of stir-fry vegetables to it! Yum!


(3/20) I had a productive morning and got the kitchen cleaned and diapers in the wash, so I called Sarah and asked if we could come invade.  She said we could, so we make a quick run to Starbucks and headed over to play for a bit.  We had to leave after only a short time, so we could go home and get lunch for C before school. Nanan came to watch the littles so I could volunteer in C's classroom.  They napped while we were at school, and when I went up to get them, J started saying "Nanan!" when he heard her voice.  They both were saying it by the time she went home, and D even blew her kisses.


(3/21) The boys were with their dad today while I worked. Dad and C took advantage of the sunshine after work and headed out for some street hockey practice.  The littles and I had some fun before bedtime, and they were in bed before the big boys returned.  Thursdays go way too fast.


(3/22) Surprise snow storm today - there was a good 4" this morning!  The little boys got to go out in it for a bit, but I don't have snow suits in their size now and their shoes are those flimsy, leather ones. C didn't have school today since conferences are next week.  Dad took them to Kathy's around noon and I picked them up after work. There was still enough snow that C went out to play in it again, and I finally had to call him in after his dinner had long since cooled.


(3/23) Yay, it's the weekend!  We had swim this morning for C, and nothing else all day.  The best!  There is a set of twins in the class next to C's and their mom was clapping for them, so my twins clapped too.  LOL!

J spiked a bit of a fever today and has been pretty cuddly, but improved after a nap.  He & C both have runny noses now.  Bleh.  He has been running around with a towel on his head that he stole from the kitchen tonight and making me laugh.  Such a ham.


(3/24) The little boys had a lazy day today.  I made them pancakes this morning and we played until their dad got home from grocery shopping. C and I headed for the zoo, and the little boys stayed behind with Dad for lunch and a nap.  We got home about the time they were waking up and had a pleasant afternoon/evening with them.  They've been dancing fools this evening.  Anything musical sets them off.  So cute!


(3/25) And Monday again.  Dad has the boys today and will be taking the car in to get it wired to haul the camper later this month. I work, and am already looking forward to going home to them.
