4

Four is the number I would rather not be at right now.
Four is a great number most any other time except for this.

Cosette has now has FOUR poo accidents in one week.
No just- oh my she pooed up her backside while still in a diaper- moments.
No these are - Ha ha ha Mommy. I have fooled everyone and I know how to get my diaper off.
I fooled you first. Then Daddy and just yesterday, Grandma. I wait until you think it's safe. Let you take off my outer layer that's covering my diaper, pretend to sleep, and then proceed to decorate my half of the room with my special paint.
But then everyone got wise and I had to be extra creative. I let Daddy take off my diaper and walk out of the room to take care of my sister. Then that's when it happened.
I just know Mommy likes to do laundry. She's in there EVERY single day. I know she really really likes to clean up. And boy oh boy does it make my Daddy's veins start to pop.


Please Cosette, let's keep the art to just craft time K?
No more Poocasa

And would you guess that Cosette is the one who I PRAYED for and had to give prune juice to because she had "go" issues?


Irony has five letters, but to me it's a four letter word.

Swim Lessons

Big G had swim lessons last week at the public pool. I decided that it was too much for me to try to find a sitter so I could go with the babies too so we just watched this year. We all had a good time and cousin Grace came with us and we had a blast.





Now if you have twins and a three year old. I highly recommend getting a twelve year old niece to come and stay with you for an entire week. Not only did she have a blast playing a million games of Candy Land with Gianna, she cooked fun and yummy things, we played scrabble, and if you are really nice to them, they help you buckle and unbuckle your children in the car. Times three.
Hurray for Niece Gracie!!!!!

Just where have you been little missy?

Why playing with my niece. And going to Swim lessons again and again. And watching movies and going out to eat.
New pictures on Monday.
I pinkie swear.


Don't worry.

YUM!!!

I got invited to a cooking party and I had a BLAST! I got confused and thought it was a cocktail party, but thankfully I called the hostess before I dressed and figured it out. I hope she laughed at me. Does anyone else do that too? Get confused and make up what you remember the first letter being? Anyone?
No?
Just me?
Oh well. It makes me unique. Or a unicorn if I can't remember.


There is something about AMAZING about cooking in someone elses' house. It's easier and seems to be more fun. This recipe was AMAZING!!!! Check out Laura's (Lola's) site because it is so worth the trip!

Last Class of Gymnastics

I took these pictures of Gianna during her last class of Gymnastics. They have a parent viewing area upstairs and I had to take them through a glass. But the area is very nice. The babies get to crawl around and not be stuck in a stroller for an hour.



Gianna L-O-V-E-D!!!! her gymnastics class. We will have to see this fall what she likes best because she will be starting ballet then.
Right now we are in them middle of swim lessons. I would post pictures, but when I remembered my camera it was out of batteries!

Video Killed the Radio Star

I have worked out some of the kinks in my computer and had these little video shorts to share:

The girls gave me this swing for Mothers Day and I LOVE IT!!!!


Little Mermaid

Ride your Bike!

Dresses

Years from now, when my children are all relating my short comings to one another and perhaps sharing the most grievous of all with me, I will take out these pictures and remind them- I made those dresses for you, I assembled you in one spot as to commemorate the occasion, I did a happy dance for you to look at me and be happy.

Kids, I TRIED!

What exactly did YOU do?
Oh yeah-
You looked CUTE!!!!!

The Fourth and issues

I made the girls some really cute pillow case dresses for the fourth of July. You have to take my word on it because "the start up disk is full." And it won't let me upload any more. So here are some of the ones we did get to upload:

Watching the Parade- our neighborhood had a parade that you could walk, ride your bike or watch. We picked "watch" this year. Elizabeth and Cosette LOVED watching the big kids. Not so fond of the dogs, but enjoyed the MANY MANY golf carts that were decorated.



The best part of the Parade- The CANDY of course! And good friends too!


After the parade was over we went to do the other fun stuff. The had an inflatable slide and a rock climbing wall. Gianna loved both, but her favorite thing of all was the Snow Cones!!! It was nap time and the girls did a really good job of staying awake. They enjoyed all the people watching.

Procrastination

Now here is the post where I was supposed to put up pictures of our fun fourth of July festivities. I was supposed to do it Monday. Today is Thursday.
Monday I knew where our camera was and decided not to put up the pictures.
Tuesday "
Wednesday"
Thursday- decided it was high time you people got a new blog post. After all it's been like 6 days or so! But alas, today is the day that I can't find the camera.
Insert cute pic of girls here:

and one that makes us all laugh here:

Lessons Learned

1. When you exercise with an audience of three expect there to be some distractions.
Toys and videos strewn all about from the always closed cabinet now being open.
2. When said audience is watching expect some help with form.
Momma, they have those things (hand weights) you need them too.
Oh baby I'm not sure where mine are.
Oh I do they are in the living room let me get them for you.
thanks.
3. Expect there to be some comments
Momma you aren't doing what they are doing.
I know Gianna. Want to come exercise with me?
No.
4. Expect there to be LOTS of distractions
Jumping Jacks with babies- Hard.
5. Someone will need you desperately
Changed a diaper. Called it a day.
