I spent all day cooking and cleaning for Thanksgiving and was super disappointed that my signature chocolate caramel cookies fell apart when I took them out of the oven. I think its cause I used a different baking sheet than normal.


The high chairs got stripped down and scrubbed as well ( they were GROSS). L is obsessed with chairs and buckling herself into them, so she spent a good 20 min occupied by her newly cleaned high chair

Every day we go to school, Missy gets so excited and insisted on her coat and shoes long before its time to leave. I don't feel bad about it cause she's the same way when we pick her up. She just likes having places to go during the day

The latest thing at our house is snacks in bags - keeps them entertained for a good while!

This is what the end of a long day at daycare looks like. Total meltdown, yogurt on your forehead, why can't my mother just put me in bed misery. They love daycare, but are so exhausted by the time we get home, its all you can do to get them to eat a few bites of dinner before letting them collapse in bed.

Santa came early.....the diner was just too big for his sleigh. OK, honestly, I had every intention of assembling the diner and hiding it away, but the kiddos saw it and love it. And I'm a major softy. Besides, they don't know anything about Santa yet.

Maybe next week, I'll hide it....

A toy car today, a real car tomorrow...can't time just stop?!?

So T & I headed to the doctors today and we don't have the flu - yay! Just a crappy virus. I'm actually feeling much better and I think he is too so hopefully we'll all be on the mend just in time for me to work all weekend :) L still has a pretty snotty nose, but no fever or cough and I'm hoping she'll avoid another ear infection. Fingers crossed!

Maybe by next week, we'll all be feeling better and I will have time to a) clean my house b) take out christmas card pics and c) play with photoshop which has been sitting idle on my computer since J installed it for me. Hopefully......

Cute girl. Darn binky. She dropped it out of her crib around 4 am and proceeded to wake up her brother - who doesn't go back to sleep. So now we're all tired, cranky and sick. Time for the binky fairy to make a visit

So I'm breaking the rules already. No this picture was not taken by me. But it is of me! I'm too lazy to pull out my manual and learn how to set my camera timer, so you get a picture of me taken by my fabulous husband. Deal.
I finally went and got my hair done after 2+ years of waiting (yeah, I was pregnant, then there was twins, blah, blah, blah, excuses, excuses) I like it - its not too blond and its not too short (both of which have happened before and been disasters). Plus it hides all those awesome white hairs that have started showing up. Thanks kids. Thanks a lot.

These sure are some busy feet! Always running and climbing and getting this little boy into adventures (and trouble). There's just something so innocently sweet about baby toes

Project 365

1/365
Just a lazy Sunday at home. T wasn't feeling too well so we all just hung out and played silly games. He's really got the best laugh I've ever heard.

I've never been much of a writer. Most of what I write ends up sounding silly to me. So i've decided to do a picture a day for 365 days (Project 365) Having kids makes you realize that time goes by all too fast and I think this will be a neat way to remember what is sure to be a momentous year.
