snow + two 2 year olds = ...

SO MUCH FUN!!!

tutu

Every little girl falls in love with a tutu at one time or another...it seems as though Chloe has found the one :)

We were on our way out the door and Chloe comes downstairs in this! Just your average Costco shopping attire.

Growing Up

Your little hands wrapped around my finger
and it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyes flutter cause you're dreaming
so I tuck you in turn on your favorite night light.
To you, everything is funny you got nothing to regret
I'd give all I had honey if you could stay like that.

Oh, darling don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh, darling don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
It can stay this simple.

I won't let nobody hurt you, won't let no one break your heart
And no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up.
-Taylor Swift

This is my absolute new favorite song...a warning though, don't listen unless you want to cry. This song is to precious for words.

I wish I could freeze these beautiful little people in time, they are so amazing at this age.
I am so lucky to be their Mommy. What a blessing they are in our lives.

cake

Carter tried cake for the first time at a bday party we went to a few weekends back. He tried it, took a few bites and then was over it. What two year old does not like cake, candy, ice cream or cookies? But he will eat plates full of salad and any kind of fruit you put in front of him. I guess we should feel lucky for the time being because I know it wont last forever.

Best part about twins

out with the week & in with the weekend

This week has been one of those...one of those hard ones. Don't get me wrong in the big scheme of things, life is pretty great with us. But we have just had one of 'those' where the snot is pouring, sleep is lacking, days at work have been long & stressful and the weekend just can't seem to get here fast enough. I always joke that everyday is groundhog day for me because my job right now is kids but the weekends are always a welcomed break in the routine with our special big guy home with us. We are in a little (or should I say BIG) rough patch with sleep and transitions. Both kids are in beds now...one is adjusting better than the other. I realize the getting out of bed 100x's before actually going to sleep is now our reality but it doesn't make it any less exhausting. It's a new stage and we will get through it. So since I am feeling a little blah I will focus on some bright spots in our week:
- Chloe calling me honey when she wants something
-going upstairs to find the twins laying in bed together 'reading' a book
-The sun & warm temps we have had this week
-The fact that Chloe has a cold and we have not had to do any breathing treatments
-Seeing the smiles on their faces as we arrive at Great Play for their class
-And lastly that I get to stay at home with these two and enjoy all these priceless moments with them.

ok. Here's to a weekend filled with lots of rest and less stress at bedtime (fingers crossed).


This is a typical Saturday morning. Watching college football and holding all of Chloe's babies while she puts each one night-night. Such a good Daddy.

Happy Weekend!

pumpkin carving

We had so much fun carving our pumpkins this year. I am so excited for holidays! They had a blast scooping out all of the stuff inside the pumpkins. It was the first time Jer & I had done it together also if you can believe that.
