thats the best way to sum up today...
the twins are getting new teeth, again...they started the day having a hard time pooping, but then had prune juice with their lunch and whole milk in their naptime bottles...so that situation was quickly reversed, thank God!??
and tonight while i was playing mario cart on gamecube with tuscan, cenzo was caught sneaking popcorn off the christmas tree!! he is such a little chunk! apparently it didnt taste very good though because once i said something to him he was quick to start spitting it out...silly boy!
and yes, i did say playing mario cart with tuscan. this weekend he decided that video games were a ton of fun, so we play as a team...i'm the driver and he is the guy on the back seat who throws the banana peels and turtle shells at the people behind us!! and he does really good, its so cute. he gets super excited when we win and even more excited when we get a new box and he has something to throw! what can i say, he is his fathers son! on a more intelligent note, we did end our night with the tv off and a game a memory spread out on the livingroom floor. we currently have our own set of directions for playing, until he gets a better understanding of the game. but its super fun. i love seeing his face light up when he realizes he can make a match and he is getting really good about remembering where certain cards are so he can match them up when he finds the second one. (mandy how nice to know, when you are here in july, we might actually be able to sit some of the kids down to play a game for a few minutes!! - a sigh of relief!!)
i think i can actually say i got a lot done today, or at least in the early part of my day...right now i feel like the house is trashed, but on days i work, by about 4pm i am feeling done for the day, so thats where the housework ends and the mom/kid time is beginning. i am happy to report that recently i have spent much more time playing with my kids and less worrying about my house (well i still worry, but i dont do as much about it) this past year has flown by and i feel like i wasnt even here to live it because i was always feeling to busy...so sometimes the house can wait because the kids never will. but i did get the christmas letters mailed and the christmas dinnerware (paper plates, etc...) purchased for christmas day, 3 loads of laundry put away and i had a inspirational/comforting and reassuring conversation with kelly about breastfeeding/pumping struggles. it is nice to be able to share my baby experiences with someone else finally! i learned so much these last 2 years (3 babies) and its nice to be able to offer the info to someone else who might be able to use it!
our weekend was nice. we went to our parents right from church yesterday and made cookies all day. beth and i got a lot done. i have a double batch of cutouts to frost, but they have to wait till the weekend so i dont eat them all before christmas! (they are my weakness) and i might make oatmeal raisin so the babies have something "healthier" to eat...but we'll see, im starting to run out of time.
and with that, i am off to bed - another 420am wake up and out the door in the morning, followed by a trip to target and a run into kohls...and then home for a day with my boys!!
God Bless the season...
