Just a glimpse...

into our life...



Who was I kidding on thinking that the new crib set up would prevent the boys from escaping?! That lasted about a week and then they both started climbing out again. We had to buy crib tents for our little climbing monkeys.

Grace thought the tents were the best thing ever....


Jack and Reid are not the bigest fans, but it keeps them contained and safe!

Just another day...




In spite of all of the chaos...I can't help but laugh when looking at these pictures and videos. This is what motherhood is all about right?!

Graduated

Jack and Reid have graduated to the kitchen table. No more high chairs! They look so little sitting at the table. Problem is they now like to climb and sit on the kitchen table and on the counter. No stopping these two.



Reid eating blueberries off the ground. Luckily the floor was pretty clean.




Reid discovered how to get out of his crib last week! He surprised us in our bed one morning at 6:15 am and very proud of himself. Then the next morning I go in to get them out of the crib to find Reid in Jack's crib with him.  He is trouble! I'm not ready for them to graduate out of the cribs. I just can't even handle the thought of them being on the loose. We did some rearranging of the cribs to temporarily prevent him from getting out again anytime soon.

Just a random picture of Grace from the last snow fall. Love that face and those dimples. She was so excited to play in the snow!

Long post this time

Lately I feel like I have no time to blog. Yes, the kids go to bed at 7pm and wake up at 7am but I'm so exhausted by the evening that I just crash. Chasing three kids around all day is exhausting! People always ask me "Is it getting easier?" Unfortunately, the answer is still "No!" Things are just different now. Certain aspects are easier but some things are still tough. The boys continue to be super active and just plain crazy! Or maybe they are just boys?! The things they think of continue to amaze me. Grace remains pretty easy for the most part so that helps a ton. She just got to a point now where she can finally tell her brothers apart. It's pretty cute when she actually calls them Jack and Reid instead of the bubbies!

The boys were in need of a little hair trim, so Aunt Katie decided to give it a try. Jack did not like it all and Reid could have cared less.




Since those pictures were taken we took them for a real big boy haircut and they look so adorable. It makes them look so much older now! 

During one of our mall trips Reid lost one of his little security blankets. This was a big deal..for him and me! They both have two different little blankets and are very attached to both of them. They must always have both of them for naps and bedtime. Right when we got home I realized it was missing. I knew this was going to be a bad thing so I called the mall security and it wasn't found :-( I immediately went online to order a new one. He had a rough few days without it!

Here is Reid checking out the new blanket...a little suspicious at first

Happy to have it back :-)

Just another day....




Hey Reid check out my tongue

 Hey Jack check out my belly button

Not a huge fan of the camera lately! Which is the reason for not a lot of Gracie pics. Sassy thing sometimes.

Just another day

The boys were a bit stir crazy the other day, so I decided to bring the cozy coupes inside to let them play. It kept them busy for awhile and they loved it! They have no shirts on because this was after dinner.

 Of course they have to turn the car over and crawl in from every opening

Twas the night before Christmas...

when all through our house, a baby was crying, way louder than a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, with hopes that the twins would learn how to share.

Two children were nestled all snug in their beds, while one decided to puke instead.

Okay I can't continue with that story but all of the above did happen!  We had a nice Christmas Eve dinner at our house with my family. I went to tuck the kids in to find Reid throwing up in his crib. I gave him a bath to clean up the mess and after that he cried all night. He was fussy all weekend and we ended up taking him to the dr and the poor guy had an ear infection! Not only that but he had roseola!

Despite Reid being sick we had a really nice Christmas! It was great to see all of our family and have some good quality time together. Grace was really into Christmas this year which made it even more fun. I'm looking forward to the years to come when the twins are just as excited as Grace.

Happy New Year to all! Wishing everyone health and happiness.
