Our Kids

No that is not the number of diapers, the number of times I chase them each day, nor the number of toys they have….that was the temperature yesterday! So much for fall! Actually it does not seem that hot, even my folks were really surprised at how nice it is outside if you are not directly in the sun. The mornings and evenings are cool, in the 60s, so that is really nice.

So much has been happening with the girls but we have been very busy with Nana and Papa Slocum so I haven’t posted in a while and can’t remember what I was going to say. The girls have been using more and more words, sleeping a little less — about 13-14 hours in a 24 hour period. When you say it like that you think, how could I be tired if they sleep that much? Well I guess since you are going 90MPH the time they are awake that might have something to do with it.

The girls have started to climb up into my office chair and watch my screen saver which is pictures of them since they were babies. When you can’t find one of them and it is super quiet you can just check my chair in my office and they will both be sitting there watching themselves. I have started turning on a slideshow for them with music (Madonna, their fav) and they will just sit there and watch bouncing to the beat (which is why I am posting from Jason’s computer right now).

They are going through phases with eating, one day really hungry, one day just kind of hungry. I have started backing off on the soy milk and adding more variety with oat and almond milk. We bought a bunny costume for Halloween and when the girls put it on it drives the other crazy. It is almost like they no longer know it is their sister and they think it is a giant bunny to chase and hug. It is so cute, the one in the costume will run and the other will chase her to give her a hug. I have some pics to post but for some reason I am having trouble with the server not recognizing the file type. I will get it sorted and post soon.
