We went to playgroup today. We are actually in 3 different playgroups if you can believe that?!? The group today consisted of moms and kids from the Mothers of Multiples club. There were 5 other moms besides me and 15 kids! The mom that hosted today had all of the kids wear their Halloween costumes and all of the kids got goodie bags. It was a lot of fun. It is always really hard to keep track of all of the kids during that playgroup and at one point when I was opening up the twins baby food, Wyatt got into the diaper bag in the other room. The moms that were watching him said that he got the twins bottles out of my diaper bag took the caps off of the bottles, dragged Jonah so that he was next to Sammy, and started feeding both of the boys! What a funny little guy! Wyatt's latest trick is showing off his muscles! Here he is flexing for the camera!
Clap your hands.......
We did a little practice run this weekend with Grandma and Grandpa to get ready for the big day on Thursday!
Top 10 Reasons that I May Lose My Mind This Week (in random order)
1. Three sick kids with fevers (again....)
2. The ever-growing piles of laundry that I haven't been able to do since the bee disaster destroyed the laundry room (almost a week ago)
3. Two solid days with contractors coming in and out of the house
4. Two solid days of people forgetting to lock the doors and the panic that ensues when I see Wyatt outside through the kitchen window
5. Three days of literally tying the laundry room door shut to keep Wyatt out before the repairs begin followed by another two days of running every time Wyatt tries to go into the laundry room and touch wet paint and drywall while the workers are in the house and I can't tie the doors shut
6. Changing all of the boys diapers on the dining room table
7. The dust, the dust, the dust that has been tracked everywhere
8. The smell that has permeated the house since the bee disaster began (cat urine x 10 suitable topic for a post all its own)
9. Watching Wyatt steal tools from movers attempting to move the grand piano out of the house
10. Recognizing that Wyatt's obsession with tools has moved to a new level after having spent the week with Dad and the bee removal equipment, piano movers and their tools, housing contractors with ladders, paint, drywall, drywall mud, etc., and Mom the one-woman cleaning crew and all of my cleaning supplies
Seriously, can you blame me????? Tons of people have asked me this week "How do you do it?" and I don't really know the secret to my sanity, but I think that it has something to do with this sweet little face.......
I am so tired from today! I will post details tomorrow!
John took this picture of the boys when I was gone and I think that it is really cute. I also included a picture of my friend Carrie and her newborn twin boys that I took tonight when I visited them at the hospital. Their names are Jacob and Lucas and they were 7 lb 5 oz and 6 lb 1 oz! They are absolutely beautiful and I started crying when I met them and I don't even know why?!? They are going home tomorrow to meet their "big" brother Zach who is 20 months old. It's hard to believe that between the two of us Carrie and I have 6 boys under the age of 2......that's nuts!
It's almost 1:30 am and Samurai is up. He pooped at midnight and then he wanted to eat! What next 2:30 am playtime? Never a dull moment......sigh.......
Wyatt loves to wear the big yellow kitchen gloves from Grandma Rodgers around the house and try to pick up his toys. I guess that it is his way of challenging himself physically (either that or he is deathly bored). Did I also mention that he can gallop? He is surprisingly good at it too, but it is completely hysterical. I am going to try and get it on videotape this week.
Updated to add: I talked to the builder this afternoon and he will be out Thursday to fix the holes! Yipee!!!!!!!!!!!!
My flight came in from Boston tonight at 735 pm. Keith (a friend of ours) called me in the car from my own house while I was driving home from the airport, so I knew something was going on. He asked me where I was and said that he and John had a big surprise for me when I got home. I suspected that I knew what it was. We have had a huge bee problem lately. I mean HUGE! Last time that I talked to John was at the airport and when he updated me on the current bee situation, I told him that we had reached the point where we needed to cut a hole in the wall and get the nest out once and for all. Of course John disagreed and argued with me about how to deal with it (understandable because who wants to cut a hole in the wall of a brand new house), but finally said that he thought that we were at that point too. Needless to say he decided to cut 3 HUGE holes in the laundry room ceiling to gain access to the nest and ended up calling Keith in as a reinforcement! The actual nest was apparently about 12 inches wide and 14 inches long and was LOADED with live bees. Thousands of bees! Neither of them got stung and they removed the nest, so I am happy about that. Now I just have to figure out how to get our builder to come and fix the ceiling and convince him that it is his responsibility since the bees gained access in the first place through a vent that was not properly attached to the house. At least I don't have to worry about being bored now that I am back from my mini vacation!
Jonah loves to jump up and down in his exersaucer.
Well it looks like Jonah is going to need glasses.....
Sammy is finally getting another tooth! I was starting to get worried......
Much more photogenic when Dad is around!
I love these cute little buns! I have a picture that is almost exactly the same with Wyatt when he was dinky. I'm still working on getting a good picture of Sammy's buns, then I will hang all of our naked bun pictures in the boy's bathroom upstairs. They will be perfect for blackmail someday when the boys are teenagers!
The boys were all smiles tonight at bedtime.......Mom and Dad were too!
I tried to take some 2 year birthday pictures of Wyatt today so that they would be done by his birthday, but it didn't go well. I like the clothing choice and background, but his expressions need some work!
