Green Thumb

Look what I have growing in my back yard. I love spring!

Gerber Daisies are my favorite flower...in case you wanted to know (or send me some). :)


Roses are good, too.

I'm not 100% sure what this thing is called, but I think they are really pretty.

How about fresh, home grown tomatoes...

...or a pepper?

and

it

is

all

thanks

This man. Not me. I don't have a green thumb. I forget to water plants.

I'm pretty sure these two didn't help too much either...but they're pretty cute.

Just Because It Looks Like Fun!

I have blog block. It's kind of like writers block, but bloggier. So, I leave you with this video, just because it looks like fun.

What Do We Think???

I've had this question in my mind for a while now, and I have decided that the only way to get a true answer is to poll my blog readers. I really want to hear your opinions and thoughts on this.

As many of you know, the boys birthday is December 17th. I don't like that it is so close to Christmas. They weren't due until the end of January, I tried as hard as I could, they couldn't be held off. So I'm thinking about having "Half Birthday" celebrations. I want to be the kind of parent who throws big birthday parties. I love birthdays! I want to have a big "Half Birthday" celebration, then in December, when it's their real birthday, we would just celebrate with the four of us. This would also help out with the mass amount of presents from family and friends for their birthday and a few days later have the same for Christmas. Not to mentions spreading out the dent in the pocketbook.

So what do we think???

Sprinkler Fun!

9 more school days until summer, I know this Momma can't wait!!!

With the HOT summer weather coming our way, the boys had a blast playing in the sprinkler.

It was still a little chilly, but Heath didn't seem to mind.

Quad Squad

Thank You God for Blessing me with Two Miracles! I don't think I could handle FOUR!!!

This past weekend we got to go to the Independence Creek Nature Preserve and help with Annual Kid Fish that Daddy and the other Game Wardens put on. It was lots of fun and we got to hang out with our "Best-ie Twin Friends," Whitley and Wyatt. Unfortunately, Momma was too busy to take many pictures, but just rest assure that it was a blast!

...Until Saturday night, that is. We all came down with the stomach flu. Momma decided that is NOT the way she wants to spend Mother's Day. Two throwing up babies and a sick momma was not fun at all. Talk about initiating MOM. We are all among the living again, however, so I guess it is all better.

The E-Mail

I have the best baby sitter a person could possibly have...My Mom. Occasionally, she sends me e-mails throughout the day to let me know what is going on and to lift my spirits because I have to be away from my babies. Here is a series of today's e-mails:

Me: Hey Mom, when I come to pick up the boys this afternoon, do you think you could help me give them a haircut?

Mom: Be glad to, but did you feed them ornery pills this morning?

Me: Thanks! Do you mean that my sweet, darling, baby boys are being ornery?

Mom: Let me just tell you about this morning. You think you and Chris have poop stories, you have Nothing! I now have the ultimate Poop story!

I put the blanket over the table to make a "tent" for the boys to play in this morning. I look up and Heath is coming out of the tent and starting to whine. I look down and a BIG POOP is at his feet. There must have been a St. Bernard or a Doberman under the table with them because it was BIG.

I run to grab him before he steps in it, and apparently it has fallen out of his diaper. Yep, his diaper is hanging off of him. I tell Kali to stand guard over the poop so that Hunter doesn't get into it while I am cleaning up Heath. The entire time she is guarding, she starts screaming, Oh No! Oh No! Oh No! I have Heath on the towel on the couch cleaning him up. Are we having fun yet?!?!

Here comes Hunter out of the "tent"...he is also covered in Poop and he is carrying the big red dog sippy cup which is also covered. Kali is still screaming Oh No! Oh No!

I finally got both boys cleaned up, clothes in the washer, and attacked the floor under the "tent."

Hunter has also turned my coffee cup over (which was sitting on the cabinet by the microwave). I still don't know how he reached it. It wasn't hot any more, but boy, this Mimi can move fast. Finally, got all of that cleaned up off the cabinets and the floor.

Heath managed to dump his milk on the carpet. He was just holding the cup upside down and watching it pour out. Then he played in the puddle he made. I had to change his clothes again.


I didn't respond to that e-mail. How can I? What would I say? Maybe I should just pay her more??!?! I did arrive to pick up the boys this afternoon with a large fountain Diet Dr. Pepper. It's her favorite.

Now That is Something to DANCE for!!
