Ummmm, YUCK!

K just pooped in the tub.

I really hope this isn't an indication of how my time off will be.

Aaaaahhhhhh

No more work for 5 whole days. I don't have to wake up again at 6am until next Wednesday. I so need this. After working for six straight days then only getting a one day break before starting again, I am wore out!

Now just because I'm not working doesn't mean I won't be busy. We have plenty to do the next few days including two birthdays parties, photo sessions, playdate, pumpkin carving, gymnastics, etc.....

Ah well, at least I'll get my nap in most days :)

The Cost of Parenthood

When planning for a child you take many things into account. Like daycare, diapers, clothes, food etc. But there is definitely a huge chunk that you forget about...parties, events and holidays. In the last month the kids have had several birthday parties with several more coming up. With $15 to $20 for presents, it definitely adds up. Halloween is coming up and I had to buy costumes and some simple decorations. Then we are going to two Trunk or Treats. One will have about 30 kids, while the other will have about 100 kids!! So I just finished spending about $60 on candy!! Then of course Christmas is coming with I'm sure what will be non-stop parties and events all costing more money I'm sure.

We have such a blast at these events, but I'm sure my credit/debit card will be smoking by the end of December.

I hate Tuesday's

Tuesday's are the day I have chosen to clean my house. I do little things all during the week, but Tuesday's are for laundry, vacuuming, cleaning the kids room and playroom. I am SOOOO not domestic. I hate cleaning and if I could afford it, I would have a cleaning lady in a heartbeat. I am trying to start the kids early. Usually they have to clean their room while I monitor the progress. S does pretty well, but K has already mastered the art of looking like she's doing something while not really doing anything at all.

The funny thing is, I usually do most of my cleaning late at night. The energy usually hits are 10pm and then I go until 1 or 2am. YIKES! Especially since I need to be up on Wednesday at 6am to go to work.

Happy 32nd Birthday!!

Today the twins turn 32 months. I told them that this morning and K's response was she wanted Thomas cake. As a compromise I am baking muffins :)

It is just scary how fast this time has gone. In four short months I will have three year olds. I can't fathom it, I don't understand how it happened. It truly does seem like the twins were born yesterday, yet at the same time, memories of them as little babies are fading. I bring out there photo albums and almost tear up looking at these teeny tiny precious babies.

I have already been thinking about their third birthday and what the theme will be, where it will be held etc. I'm thinking it will be Scooby Doo since that's what the kids are obsessed with lately.

This morning we took some vital stats to see where the twins were

• S - 32.2 pounds (69%) and 37.75 inches (73%)
• K - 26.8 pounds (20%) and 36 inches (38%)

K has put on over a pound since I last weighed her which is shocking because she is still so tiny. S is about the same place percentile wise where he always lands. I am still shocked that my 2 aren't much taller. I am 5'11" and their donor is 6'6". Maybe they will sprout up all of a sudden.

Crappy

Every morning when I leave half asleep to work, I am super careful to make sure I don't hit Q's car. Every morning, despite the fact that I am operating on 5 or less hours of sleep and it's still dark out, I succeed in this task. Tonight...not so lucky.

Tonight was the MOM meeting. At 7pm Q got here and as I pulling out, THUD. I couldn't believe what I did. I jumped out, saw that there wasn't too much damage and left to go to the meeting I was already late for. I called Q on the way and told her what I did.

My cars bumper is a little dented and has some red paint on it. Q's car looks okay. It does look like it got some of my silver paint on it and I told Q to go get it cleaned up and I would pay for it. She kept saying she was fine, and I doubt she will charge me for it.

I can't stand that I did that....but quite honestly, I'm surprised it took this long to happen.

Nothing Profound to Say...

After working five days in a row and having to go back again tomorrow, my brain is fried. I don't have anything worth typing about in this head of mine.

Maybe tomorrow.
