Ready for Winter

Winter is coming, & we are ready! The snow blower is gassed up & I finally bought C&P winter boots! I really saw no need to buy them before today, since it has been in the 50's. Target had boots for miles & miles...and on clearance! So we took one last walk today, & since I hate myself I brought the dog. That wasn't that great of an idea, but everyone under 3 feet was having a blast. If you want a good workout try being pulled by a hound dog while pulling 55+ pounds of toddler & wagon! C&P already know that it is going to snow tomorrow, that they get to play outside in their boots, & that they have a doctor's appointment with no shots. Thursday is going to be a blast, right? Photo update after we make a snowman!

Project 365 - Week 1

Looking back on the past 2 years, I cannot figure out where they went! To capture C&P's terrible Two's I will be starting a photo challenge (like I really need a reason to take photos). Project 365 is simple, take one photo everyday for 365 days (it's rocket science, I know). Each week I will present our week in photos...with captions, I love captions!

Week One

Sunday (January 1st...look at that!): She kept saying "reindeer," get it?



Monday: Getting tickled by daddy.



Tuesday: I wish I could say that this is the worst it got, it wasn't.



Wednesday: I learned VERY quick, if you have multiples & are training even one of them...you NEED two potties! A pink frog to match Cam's green frog! Maybe now he won't assault her while she's doing her business!



Thursday: "Aunt" Liz came over to play. C&P had a good time playing dress up with her shoes & shades.


Friday 54 degrees in January! Who wants to go on a walk??


Saturday: Real men play with dolls.

Hey Wait, They're Twins!

We had our 1st "siblings not twins" encounter last weekend. The cashier at Target handed Paige 2 stickers & said, "Give one to your little brother." OUCH! Way to go small fry Cam, she think's I was pregnant twice! I didn't bother correcting her, I'm a wannabe extreme couponer...I must focus! This encounter was totally the opposite from our normal encounters, "Are they identical? Do they like each other? Do they have their own language?" Lady I'm trying to finish my list before someone melts down, move it or lose it! I feel like I should pass out a copy of THIS when people come up to me in stores.

What's a post without a picture...

He is ashamed because his photo is being taken while he is on a pink potty. Can someone dump the trash? Great, now I just drew attention to the full trash can.

An Hour in the Life of Paige...

Paige is a troublemaker, hands down. She is funny, smart, athletic (we can tell already) & can be shy. She is like her dad! Her nickname used to be RamPaige, but if you have seen her in action you will know that she is really a beast! I say it in a nice way, but seriously, beast.

Not only was she standing on the bucket, she was trying to jump off it onto the couch.
Yes, she was successful.

The Seyler Twinshate socks, but love popcorn!
A picnic on the floor is their favorite, I think because they know next comes the vacuum!

Pushing her baby, but if you ask her she is "Not a baby!"

Her hair is getting long & thick! I think she takes after her Aunt Michelle!

An hour in the life of Cam...

Cam is our little guy, that's for sure. He impresses us each day with the words that come out of his mouth, like yesterday when he said, "Help me, Paige!" He shouts out his wants, needs & pure random thoughts all day long...gimmie my milk, meat ball, I like it, poop in my pants...

This is Cam playing with Paige's doll house...

This is the result of Cam playing with Paige's doll house. He gets really into it, loses all control & then winds up in timeout.
(Note: I snuck this photo & he still gets crazy "flash eyes!")

He really loves his kitchen, he is a domestic god. He really likes picking up (ILOVETHISKID)!
(Note: This is really a picture of the kitchen after I put it "back together")

This is what Cam did to the kitchen...he put it all in one bin, EVERYTHING! The best part, he put everything in one at a time. I love his determination when he tried to close the bin & then cried when it wouldn't close (must give physics lesson).

Happy New Year!

After ringing in the new year with the Lyda Family, I AM BEAT! The sleepover initially went well. It took less than 30 minutes before silence was heard. The adults enjoyed steak, wine & UNO! After the ball dropped it was time for these parents of multiples to go to bed (6:30 would be there before we knew it). Just after we all went to sleep, a cute little red head decided to give a fireworks display....sleepover FAIL! Poor Paige couldn't figure out where he roommate went when she woke up (we snuck the Pack N Play out in the wee hours). Below are a few photos of some of our fun...

Glitter cupcakes, yes please!

She loved the frosting!

I wish you could see the fact that it was 6:00 & we were in our pjs!

The cute little red head.

Playing with all the new toys!
