Bye Daddy

We are off to the ski hill today. My husband will join us in a few days.

The Hidden Gem

The Library.

I had no idea the library had such great stuff. We have now been library card holders for 6 months and have visited every 2 weeks. Initially, it was extremely overwhelming - with pee accidents and such. We would walk in and they (the twins) would immediately start fighting over the handicap button to open the door. We have finally figure that out: one pushes it on the way in, and one pushes it on the way out.

Upon entering we would head over to the children's section and randomly pick out books. Usually, these books were a flop and would not be looked at for the next 2 weeks. Then I discovered the video section. Not huge, but large enough and with enough 'Bob the Builder' movies to satisfy my children.

However, the book picking was still a flop and I had yet to peruse any other part except the children's section and that was only as far as my arms would reach for fear of all three kids riping the entire library apart while they screamed and yelled. (Yes, I have decided that kids make noise and that the rest of the library should deal with it for the 5 minutes that we are there. HA.)

Finally, I got the bright idea to checkout the on-line catalogue. After trying various PIN numbers for several days, I finally stumbled on the right one. There in front of me was a whole new world. One with searches that honed in on my kids interests: dinosaurs, machines, trains... Oh, and I could finally look at books for my self. Ya.

Now, when we enter the library, we have organized chaos. Each twin gets a turn pushing the handicap door opening button, we return books, head over to the children's movies and pick one out, stop by to pick up the requested books, hand out library cards for each child to check out their movie/book, and head out the door. All with regular voice levels and completed in 5 minutes. Wahoo. Even I now get to enjoy the library. I have still not walked the entire place, but the on-line version suits me fine for now.

Prego Update

Much to my husband's displeasure exhaustion has hit. My eyes are super heavy all the time. After being awake for just 3 hours, I feel like it is time for a nap. I have been heading to bed early - 8pm usually. An afternoon nap would be grand, but not an option with 3 wild children. At least this only lasts 12 weeks. 4 more to go.

Nausea. Yup, some of that too. Usually only when I let the tummy get empty.

Weight. I am gaining way to fast. I find this extremly upseting since I so much time trying to lose all the previous baby weight. 4 lbs gained, 4 lbs to lose later. I have already grown out of some clothes, although I am no where near prego clothes yet. I hope to stay out of those as long as possible. However, I have already started to wear pyjamas later and later in the day!

Hike

We headed out for a hike mid-day today. Needless to say, we ended up bushwhacking and did not reach our desired destination. Nonetheless, the all had a great time. We'll just have to try again another time.

Note to self: DO NOT TRUST MY DIRECTIONS!! Ha, ha. Everyone already know this. I am not sure why my husband doesn't stand up to it. Eek. He did - That is why we did not head down the rocks along side the waterfall today. He, he.

Wit and Wisdom - Revisited

It doesn't work. Not enough leverage. 'Nuff said!

Toddler Antics

Hmmm. I guess this is the end of our chairs. I was really hoping we wouldn't have to put them all away this time around. Apparently the toddler has other ideas, though.

Picture Time

DRUNK? Nope just sleeping! This is a serious sleep.

My geniuses in the making. Puzzle time.

Twin1 loves puzzling. Oh, and the picture was taken by twin2. Pretty good, eh?

This is the first time Twin2 has chosen to draw a face all on his own, no prompting at all. Wow.
It even has ears.

Sorry no picture of the baby.

We have been taking advantage of the gorgeous weather of late. Yesterday we headed off to the zoo. I can not explain what a great day we had. No fighting, yelling - just plain fun. Wonderful. We have also been riding the bikes a lot lately. The baby (who I guess I now have to refer to as the toddler) sits on the back of my bike. We all love it. The twins spend the entire time with huge grins on their faces. And I love because I no longer have to worry about them riding ahead. A blast. We went out this morning and they have already asked to go out again this afternoon. Fun, fun.

Thank you for all the comments and well wishes. Life is pretty interesting around here and it is only going to get better. Fun, fun.

Oh and for those of you who thought we were having triplets - ARE YOU NUTS?

*******
I mean... we won't find THAT out for another 10 -12 weeks!

6 - SIX

6. Yup. Six. In September, we will be a family of 6!!! Are we ready? Nope. Excited? Yup. Scared? You betcha.

Gulp.

The King

Twin1 set his chair up on the coach, plopped himself down and announced, "Me King." I guess so.

The king and his loyal subjects! Well, sometimes.

My husband and I had a major cheat on the diet last night. Uncle R was visiting and my husband and I were having major cravings (I know it has only been a week), so we ducked out the door and off to McDonald's. Not 4 minutes after scarfing down my French Fries, my head got all stuffy and my ears started to ring. It was like I had a cloud in my head. So, we thought about it. I obviously have an intolerance, but to what: potato or MSG? Hmmmm.

The twins are starting to have cravings - for Fruit. Just another 2 days and we can reintroduce Fruit. Ya.

Oh, I have to give out a big cheer to my husband. He has finished the baby's room. Wahoo. Just a few days f airing it out and we can make the move.

Swimming today. Better get things going.
