July 3rd-July 9th

J left; D right

(7/3) Work day for me.  I ended up getting off early, and got to come home and spend the afternoon with my boys ❤


(7/4) Happy 4th!  Such a lovely day! The babies slept in until 8a, which is always heavenly.  I did a lot of baking today while the babies napped and then took advantage of their afternoon nap to get in some weeding.  We went to Justin's house for a barbecue and fireworks in the evening.  The babies ate and ate and ate today, finishing off everything I brought for them, plus an entire hamburger bun I grabbed as finger food. I put them to bed in the basement, and the next time I checked on them they were out.  They missed the fireworks entirely, but we have been catching them all week thanks to our obnoxious neighbors that like to light them off around nap or bedtime....

(7/5) Took today off and got to enjoy the wonderful summer weather that has finally arrived in Seattle!  Yay!  We took the boys to C's gymnastics class and then to the park after.  They were *TIRED* after all that and were crankin' quite a bit, but by the time we got home, they were back to their happy selves, so I gave them lunch and then put them down for a nap.


(7/6)  I worked today and Dad had the boys. They got to go to the park again ~ fun!  We tried watching a movie with them in the evening after I got home, but they were cranky so I ended up putting them to bed early. 


(7/7) Mom fail.  I have been talking and talking about C starting swim on Saturday, but was thrown by the mid-week holiday and vacation day and it didn't dawn on me that today was Saturday until lessons were over... Sigh.  But, as a result, we had a quiet, relaxing day and the babies were able to take naps and lunch at leisure. 

Happy J

(7/8) Happy Birthday to our oldest!!  C has a skating party today, so we'll be taking the herd to the Skate Deck this afternoon to celebrate. 

J has two new teeth poking through ~ no wonder he's been biting everything!  He'll have 2 top & 4 bottom once these arrive.  C had 6 teeth by 8 months, so this shouldn't really surprise me, yet it still does...


D is sitting really well!  He's made huge strides with that skill this week! Yay, D! 


(7/9)  Happy Monday!  The twins slept much better tonight than last.  Phew!  Thanks to my honey for letting me sleep the other night. I don't think I have slept so long since before they were born! Should keep me going for another few months!

June 26th-July 2nd

(6/26) Poor C must have the flu.  I came home early to a feverish boy that couldn't keep anything down.  He slept most of the day away and I tried to keep him apart from his brothers the best that I could.  I really don't want the little guys to get sick.


(6/27)  C is feeling much better, but couldn't hold down his breakfast.  We decided another day of rest would be a good idea.  We spent a quiet day in, even though it was beautiful. We did step outside for a popsicle and a little bit of work on the garden though.


(6/28) C was feeling well enough to go to gymnastics, so Dad hauled the troop out for that, and for some time at the park.  And this evening Granddad came over so Dad and I could have a date night!  Yay!  The twins had a rough go of it.  Once J gets tired, he's done and just needs to go to bed.  Well, in doing that, Granddad sneezed, which scared J and he just lost it.  But they were asleep when we got home, so we'll consider this a success. 


(6/29) J is so cute!  He has figured out how to clap. He is sitting SO well too ~ for long periods of time.  He sometimes forgets that he is sitting and flings himself backward, but is generally doing well with his new skill.

(6/30) Rough night. D kept kicking Dad, and literally kicked him out of bed. I had a running date in the morning, so I woke him again at 7 to head out. Came back and was glad to see they had all gone back to bed for a bit. After everyone woke up, we had breakfast, and then went for a humid walk to Starbucks with Sarah & her boys.  It was nap time when we got home.  C still isn't feeling so great, so he and I chilled while the babies slept.

Looks like D is the proud owner of tooth #4!  That makes the boys even! 2 top & 2 bottom.


(7/1) Little boys woke up nice and early, so were ready for mid-morning naps before lunch.  They woke up not long after we had finished unloading groceries and then had lunch.  C & I went out to his friend's birthday party and Dad said they took nice, long afternoon naps while we were gone.  We had a yummy dinner together and before I knew it, it was bedtime again. 


(7/2) Dear D, sleeping is a good thing.  You seem to enjoy it, so let's do away with the midnight screamfest?  Zzz.

Both Dad and I are working today, so Kathy has the kiddos. Hope they have a nice day.

June 19th-25th

J front; D back

(6/19) D has a third tooth!  His top one that I thought for sure was going to pop through weeks ago has finally come all the way through.  Looks like the other one will be here shortly.  J's at 4 teeth (2 top; 2 bottom).

The boys had a happy day and were very fun tonight.  I steamed up some cauliflower and they ate quite a bit!


(6/20) J is turning out to be an early bird.  I got up and went for a run the same time I normally leave for work and was so hoping for an extra hour or so of sleep when I got home.  No dice.  I got home and Dad delivered me a very awake J.  Oh well, I can sleep when they're teenagers, right?

It's a rare sunny (& warm!) day, so we're off to the beach! (Brackett's Landing in Edmonds) Nanan went along with, so I was able to go check out the tide pools with C while she wrangled babies. 

C left for an overnight with Nana this evening and the twins were so worn out from their day that they went to bed early.  It sure was quiet.


(6/21) The twins got to go to gymnastics (for C). Dad kept sending me pictures of passed out babies, so I could see how they enjoyed it.  LOL!  Then they went to the park and to McDonald's. Busy day for bebes.

(6/22) TGIF!  Kathy said D was a big ol' grump this morning until he took a 4 hour nap.  I guess somebody was tired.  The babies got to go to the bouncy house with the big boys today.  It was raining, of course, so the fun plans to go to Country Village with the preschool group were derailed.


(6/23) Fun day today!  We drove down to Puyallup for a barbecue at Charity's house.  They are leaving for Vegas next week, so we had to get the Coltons together one more time.  The boys did great in the car and played the whole time we were there, until D passed out. 


(6/24) Up and at 'em early today.  Gee thanks, boys!  I made the twinsies pancakes and C helped me take pictures.  We were going to go and see the big boys set off rockets, but the little boys were tiiiiired, so I stayed home and let them sleep.  They even zonked out early at bedtime.  I laid them down and they were out before I left the room. 

D supermans

(6/25)  Happy Monday!  The boys are with their dad today.  Hope they have a fun day!
