This is actually my first post for Twin Tuesday! :O) Wow. I see the tweets all the time, I send a few, but I never actually wrote a post before! So the question from Jen for this week is: What kind of fun ideas for twin birthday parties have you tried out in the past, [...]
I think I was watching Medium, and Joe was trying to drum up some friends for play dates with Bridgette because she having trouble adjusting and they thought that she needed more friends. He made call after all and kept getting shot down by the parents because their 6 year olds were so busy. I [...]
My girls are 6. For the past couple of years they have already been into makeovers, dressing up, manicures and such. They are definitely girly girls and they love to look pretty. We were given the opportunity to try out The Magical Beauty Collection from Carol’s Daughter. It is a Princess Tiana themed hair and body collection. [...]
Once again the great Kayla has been elected student of the month in her class. She was voted in by her peers which I think is sooo cool! Both girls held the honor once each in kindergarten, now they are doing it again in first grade! Alexis was runner-up in her class, but her teacher [...]
The kids had a great time anyway. Ok, so did I… playing with Legos. I used to love Legos as a kid. I still have my set somewhere in that Abyss that is the basement. They only had Lego Duplo blocks before. But those huge things suck for real building. Now they have 4 full [...]
It was not the first time that the “Tooth Fairy” forgot to put the $$ under the pillow, but this time they were on to me. Alexis actually pulled her tooth in the car on the way home. When we got home I put it in a little envelope and told her to put it [...]
I had to write a blurb for a contest. The assignment was simple, write about my inspiration for next year. This is what I wrote: My inspiration is my 2 sets of twins. Yes, I said 2 sets of twins. You see, before I had my first set, i lost 3 babies to miscarriage. It [...]
Report card day was a couple of weeks ago. I started writing this post then, got distracted and forgot. I am finally finishing it. It left me walking around with a big pumped up chest. Uhh, ok… maybe just a pumped up chest. My girls are in first grade, but already they keep wowing the [...]
1. Allow them to have whatever cereal they like for breakfast with toast. 2. Let everyone stay in their pjs (or mismatched outfit of their choosing – see pic) all day. 3. Make tacos for lunch. 4. Let them skip naps for the day to help put up the Christmas tree and decorations. 5. Make [...]
I’m so sick of the sickies!! Colds, flu, sickness… Oh my!! So far this winter has been brutal. When you have 4 kids, it is hard to ensure that once one gets it, the rest won’t too. And I always get it the worst out of everyone! It all started with Jayden about 3 weeks [...]
… was a success! Yes, I am a few days late on this post. I am still recovering! We got the kids costumes squared away on Wednesday! Yes, I know, I know… I was busy, ok? The boys went trick or treating with their school on Friday morning in the buildings around campus. They each [...]
They are supposed to act this way right? Well let me tell you, my boys have REALLY been giving me the flux. It is definitely time to move them to toddler beds. I wanted to do that for Christmas. We were able to get a free Little Tykes Toddler Car bed, thanks to freecycle.org. I [...]
We had a pretty bad ice storm/snow storm here in the Chicago area last night. It was not as bad as the thought it would be, but bad enough! Tons of folks took the day off and mostly all of the Catholic schools are closed. The Chicago public schools never close though! Here are a [...]
My girls start Kindergarten on August 25. i cannot believe it!! They are going to big girl school. I don’t think they will have any adjustment issues. They have been in a school environment (daycare) since they were 2.5. Their grandmother asked me to list the school supplies that they need on my site so [...]
I know, I know, I haven’t written anything in forever. So sorry! We have just been really busy. As some know, besides working full-time, my husband and I run our own side biz, photography, DVD slideshows, invitations, etc. Well, things have been pretty busy lately! We have had quite a few jobs. Between that, editing [...]
