April 11, 2011


Today I tried to catch up on all the laundry. I must have done 5 or 6 loads. Folding is my least favorite part of the chore. Caleb insisted on helping me fold. Of course his way of helping is making a chair out of the folded towels. :)

This is my typical Sunday morning. I always look forward to getting my two newspapers and cutting out all the coupons. I then pull up my favorite coupon blogs and find out what the best deals will be for the week; matching up sales and coupons to get the most bang for my buck. :)

Joshua has a thing for remotes and phones. Basically anything with buttons. There have been many times that the channel will change as I am watching TV and, sure enough, he has hold of the remote. Silly boy!

I cherish night time and putting Caleb to bed. He's always very good about going to bed and will tell me when he is ready. He gets to pick out his jammies and then we brush his teeth and I tuck him in bed. Then we read his favorite bedtime book, A Night Night Prayer. I love how he'll blow me kisses as I close the door.

I can't take my eyes off of these babies for even a minute before they are into something. I was washing bottles in the kitchen, turn around, and see that Hannah had managed to get into the diaper cupboard and take out all of the diapers. She seemed quite proud of herself!

I can tell my OCD tendencies have rubbed off on Caleb. I found this line of cars in the living room this morning. Too funny!

It's a good thing Joshua is so low key, because Hannah just loves taking things away from him. Pacifiers and toys are fair game for her. Luckily he doesn't fuss and just finds something else to play with,

My first grocery shopping trip with all three kids by myself! So grateful for the shopping carts with two seats. I put Caleb in the basket part and piled the food around him. It went much smoother than I expected. Nice to know I don't always need a helper with me now.

We got to watch my friend, Karen's, bunny for a few days while her family went on vacation. Caleb fell in love with Bun Bun and would sit and talk to him for quite a while. He was convinced this was now his bunny. Have a feeling he will not like seeing him go back home.

We're definitely taking advantage of our annual membership to the railway museum. Today was a beautiful day to get outside, ride some trains, and look at all the old railway cars. It really is cool to see all this history restored and put back in working order.

Caleb has figured out how to climb into Joshua's crib. This morning I found him in there playing with his brother when I went to get the babies up. Love my silly boys!

Spring has sprung! I love the new growth on the trees and the smell of orange blossoms in the air. My favorite season!

Tonight we saw Wicked!! The show was amazing! I loved the story and the songs were beautiful. Rodney got us some great seats, so we were centered on the stage and had a great view of the whole production. It was a great date night!

I am so grateful for all the hand-me-downs and free things we've been given by family and friends. Hannah's favorite is the exersaucer we got from Rodney's parents. They got it for free from one of their neighbors. Hannah just loves spinning around in it and playing with all the toys.

Caleb went pee on the potty for the first time today! I'm so proud of him! I didn't have to prompt him, he just said he needed to go, sat down, and went! As a reward he got to choose a lollipop out of the candy jar.
Here's a little video of him after his great accomplishment.

Hannah has completely mastered sitting up and is usually quite happy to just sit on the floor and play with toys. She is such a happy little girl and her smile just brightens up my day.

Caleb just loves books (and I love that he does!). He's often quite content to just sit on the floor with a book. He's come to memorize a few and will read them out loud for me.

I got a bike today! Target was having a really good sale, so we got this and a trailer that I can tow behind for the twins. I've never rode a bike that has different speeds or hand brakes, so it was a bit of a learning experience the first time out. So excited that we can now ride as a whole family!

Joshua is "crawling" around now. He hasn't quite mastered the arm, leg, arm, leg yet, but he rocks back and forth and lunges forward till he gets to where he wants to go.
