Playing in the Snow!

The new fallen snow was so irresistible Eve and Adi had to put on their snow clothes and spend awhile playing in it. Our neighbor Katie heard us playing and brought over her sled to take the girls for a ride. They had lots of fun!

Sweet Sister Love

I braved the slick roads and only made it a few blocks but luckily that got me to a grocery store. As I strolled up and down the aisles pushing the giant "car" cart that my girls adore, I noticed I was getting a lot more attention then I usually get with my twins.


Now I don't say that to be conceited I just am used to the attention that having twins draws in public. I look down, nervous they've gotten a hold of something and opened it and my heart melts.


I ADORE moments like these! There they are arms over one another shoulders like the best of friends. So stinkin cute! They've been fighting what seems like a lot lately with each other so this really lifted my spirits that they do actually like have one another around.

Fun Full Day

Yesterday Charity had decided she was going to go down to Fountain Green and spend the day today. Luckily I can still squeeze in with only my two kids and me. So she let us ride down with her, Chavonne and her kids, and Felicia and her kids also came and spent the day at my parents' house. It was a great time just sitting around and visiting. We even did a little planning for the year to come.

Morgan is at such fun age, he is such a snuggler and he likes to roll around and wrestle. Here he is getting his mama(Chavonne).


It was seriously such a great day, it was relaxed and fun and SO needed.

It paid off!

Well if you read the previous post you know that I let my little ladies wear panties for a couple hours today. Adia had a itty bitty accident(almost not even worth a clean pair but we swapped em out anyway) but other than that we stayed dry! Then after pancakes(I love breakfast for dinner) we bathed them. Almost immediately after getting out of the tub Eve declared she had to go pee. To be honest I was a little skeptical because they say this all the time. But we sat her down on the little training potty and much to my surprise and delight SHE PEED!!! I was so proud, we made a big fuss, she ran and told Daddy all about it. Adia was in with Neil and saw all the excitement and said she had to go too(me skeptical once again figured she just wanted to get in on all the excitement, but we let her go) and SHE PEED TOO!!! I was SO proud! As we got ready for bed we continued to make a big fuss over them both going in the potty. To be honest I almost cried cause my little ladies are growing up so fast.
Now I realize that this doesn't by any means mean that my kids are potty trained yet BUT it gives me hope. They actually know what I mean when I talk about going potty, and they are getting the idea of how it works! What a great day!

On today's attire list

Like most 2 year olds Evelyn and Adia get dressed several times a day. Today at around 5 they asked to wear panties. Feeling ambitious, I complied. So far so good. Keep your fingers crossed.

Motherly Advice?

How early is too early? Lately the kids have been getting up anywhere between 7 and 8. And without fail the first words out of their mouths are "I need food". Now 7 is really hard for me because I usually spend most of the night switching from side to side and resituating or getting up to go pee 5 times, etc(such is life of a 31 weeks pregnant lady). Neil has been so awesome about handling these certain mornings for me. So this morning at 6:45 Adia makes her way into our room with her usual request, Neil sends her straight back to bed because there is no way that we are going to start giving them breakfast before 7 in the blessed A.M. Surprisingly, she fell back to sleep. Now that got me thinking "could I get away with sending them back to bed even after 7?". So here is my question: How early is too early, and should I just be happy when they sleep past 7 or try to demand it(yes I realize demanding anything like this from 2 year olds is a very tall order and probably crazy)?
