boycotting baby food...

and moving on to bigger and better!! or wanting to anyway. the twins are starting to realize, now that they have teeth (matteo almost 5, vincenzo almost 6) that there is a lot of food out there that tastes way better than baby food!! tonight for instance...they were screaming at me for bites of my burrito...rice, shredded pork, beans, lettuce and salsa on a whole wheat tortilla, and they were loving it!! they had the biggest grins on their faces every time they took a bite!
after dinner i had the luxury of putting them in their stroller and taking them for a nice walk around the block! tuscan, to my surprise, got picked up by "nonna" on her way home from work and is spending the night there, so here i am - blogging, after playing a stupid computer game for a few minutes and catching up on some facebook gossip...when i could be doing something way better, like painting or even scrapbooking!! maybe that will come next!
but it was a nice night, only having two of the kids here. i was really able to spend some quality time with the twins. they are becoming very smart little boys recently and i have really been enjoying the moments when i actually get to play with them. they have recently realized the concept of playing cars and we "race" them back and forth...they are also starting to understand how to play catch... nights when i get to play toys with all 3 of the boys are fun, but i love moments when i get to love each child as an individual without having to immediately divide my attention between the other two. my boys are all so amazing and all in their own little ways! i am a very lucky mom and i feel so blessed everyday for all that i have in my life! now if only the world in which we live could become a more positive place, i may be able to find a way to enjoy life 110% - but what are the odds of that happening any time soon!?? i believe that God has a plan and i pray that part of His plan is to give me the strength to get through whatever it is thats coming. the world is a scary place right now and i just want to be able to provide for my family and keep everyone healthy. God, please bless America!
