Houston, we have BIGGER problems!

So, I thought the biting incident was a pretty big problem. Turns out there are bigger fish to fry around my house hold. This week we have been working really hard on getting rid of the boys pacifiers. It's been going alright, but we have had our moments. Those moment include a lot of crying on the part of ALL parties (including Momma). I am proud to say that I have not given in...yet.

Nap times have been the hardest. The boys cry and fuss, and usually one right after the other. They have been waking each other up, and they alternate their sleeping schedule, which means, no rest for the weary (aka: Me).

Today, after the screaming/crying stopped, I tip toed into their room to check on them and cover them back up with the blankets. I nearly collapsed with what I saw! Hunter was no longer in his crib, but playing with the humidifier in front of Heath's crib. Heath was sitting in his crib, laughing at Hunter.

I promptly replaced Hunter in his crib, and went to watch on the video monitor. Below are the pictures that followed.

Yup, that little monkey can climb out of his bed!!! This makes "Operation Pacifier Break" and nap time a LOT more interesting. Punishment was administered and Hunter was Again returned to his crib. I spent the rest of nap time (until he fell asleep anyway) watching the video monitor non-stop and re-administering punishments. What did they do before video monitors?

Watermelon

I couldn't resist. The way Hunter held the watermelon was like an old pro. He was the most adorable thing, carrying it around and chowing down. He got pretty mad when we took away the rind. It was quickly replaced with another piece.

Heath wouldn't even touch a piece. They are night and day, I tell ya.

There is a party in the works!

Well, thanks to all who voted or commented about the 1/2 birthday idea. The ayes have it, so, we have officially found an excuse to throw another party! Woo Hoo! We are going to share our birthday party with our cousin Kali. See the invite and the adorable boys and girl below:

Houston...we have a problem

Yup..I have a biter. I don't know how to remedy the problem. I tried biting back. It hasn't worked. I guess I'll just have to be on my toes when the fighting between the boys starts.

Heath got his fingers caught in a door a few weeks ago at the babysitters. Mom called me right away to let me know, but by the time I got there that afternoon, his fingers were just a little red and they didn't seem to be bothering him. Just this week, we noticed that his finger nail was no longer attached, and thanks to some willing family members (not ME) he no longer has a fingernail. It doesn't bother him at all, but it really pains me to look at it.

Yup, these two keep me on my toes. I couldn't love them more!

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

to...

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???
