Good evening all...

Well, almost forgot to do this and it's only the second night...lol.


Was a good day today! Kids all played well with each other and then the Greats came for lunch between appointments. I also got to run out myself and do an errand sans les enfants. Was basically a PJ day as we didn't have any plans to go out.. at least until 4:30pm when I was talking to Jen and we decided we would take all 5 kids out for dinner... and not to MacDonalds! So got everyone dressed and out to Kelly O'Briens we went. Great service, good food and the kids were incredibly well behaved. I was so proud of my boys! Then we got home and DH was up watching hockey so the kids got to play with their daddy some more before bath and bed. And Ethan pooped on the toilet again! That makes only 1 accident in his pull up this week! I'm almost ready to make the switch to big boy undies. I"m a little nervous but I think that's more because making the switch means the kids are growing up. So we will continue playing it by ear and see where we head off to.

The other exciting news is we found one of Ethan's shoes just lying on the sidewalk. Of course today it had poured rain so it was very wet but hopefully if we find the other one it will dry out fine. Going to take the kids all for a walk tomorrow and hopefully someone has tucked it in a dry spot for me to find. Never know.

So, that's the big stuff.. at least big in my world. I even got to scrapbook tonght for a couple hours and got another LO completed.

oops, there goes a kidlette, talk to you tomorrow.

Well, I think it's time! Time to start blogging again that is. Of course it's 11:30pm and I'm just starting several friends have got me thinking that blogging is not such a bad idea. Good way to post photos of the twinadoes, some of my LO's and maybe even something that crosses this brain of mine.

This has been a slightly crazy week. I've been babysitting a little boy who is 15 months old. He's such a sweetie and is just learning to walk. Of course the twins think he's great fun, especially since he's crawling and that actually means that they should ride him like a horse. NOT! The boys just don't get that he doesn't want a 2 year old on his back :S I have him 3 times this week and then will be 'on call'. Today I worked doing a data base and entering info into it for several hours. It's good to be back doing something I've taken courses in and remembering as much as I did felt good too. I'll be able to finish it up next time I work there. And tomorrow I babysit my friends two girls who are the same age as the twins for a couple of hours. Still leaves us free to go for a walk in the afternoon and find Ethan's shoes.

Oh yeah, forgot to tell you, We went for a walk Monday morning and somehwere between Staples and Wholesale Club, Ethan removed both of his runners, and tossed them. Shane drove my route and I walked part of it and then called a couple stores we were in/walked by but they are no where to be found. What a turkey! Well, he was almost grown out of them but still...

So as far as scrapbooking goes, I managed to do a layout last night. I tried organzing my photos but I ended up just wanting to scrap so I pulled out a picture and came up with this :) It's a picture of me and the boys heading into the Health Unit for their 18 month shots. I used some of my favorite tools including my Coluzzle cutting system and Xyron for glueing my letters. I also printed the journalling directly on the paper using my new wide format printer. It's very cool and I can't wait to use it more often!

Slowly but surely I'm getting the rest of the kids 1st year album done. I do find the occasional photo that needs to be put into the NICU album and I have a lot of photos still to be worked into the second year album like this LO. I'm going to a couple day long crops and a full weekend crop in the next 6 weeks so I should be able to get a bunch done then.

The boys and I have all been sick in the last week with Andrew being the last one yesterday. He still wasn't feeling that great today I think although you couldn't tell with how he was running around. And dinner though he was not eating well; just playing with his food. So of course being a scrapbooking /photographing Mommy that I am, I had to get his photo. I'm not sure quite how much he ate at dinner but he sure did have a good time making fish and chips and apple sauce mush with a coating of milk and apple juice.

Ethan on the other hand ate like gangbusters. Two full servings of fish and chips with catchup of course and half a glass of milk. Then he topped it off with some orange segments. He ate so nice and cleanly; except for what ended up on his face and hands. A nice bath helped that issue out though...lol.

The funny thing tonight was neither of the kids wanted to have a bath; Just a shower! in and out and ready to play again. And then at bedtime, although Andrew was yawning like crazy, Ethan is the one who went to sleep right away. Andrew had a grand time while I pretended to sleep , and attempted not to sleep...lol. I finally gave up to spend time with DH and he fussed for a bit and then went to sleep. Guess I should of given up 45 minutes earlier.

Anyway, that's all my brains can handle for tonight. Thanks for reading :)
