2) Just another step and taller than his brothers he will be.
3) Ha, ha. Made it. Now to destroy what ever they are doing.
4) I win. HA.
Everyone loves the new train table, as you can see. The baby is getting a little precocious.

SCORE
I spent the day really playing with the boys yesterday and as a result noticed some new happenings.
The baby: raises his arms in the air when you yell 'score.' I had no idea that he was doing this. I was playing hockey with the twins and whenever they 'score' we all yell and raise our arms in the air. I guess we do this a lot because the baby has now picked it up. Another thing that he has learned is to kiss. When a person says kiss, he smacks his lips. This is very cute.
We have started our Candida Albicans/parasite ridding diet. Oddly enough, the thing that I thought would be the hardest - switching the twins to Goat's Milk - was very simple. Why? Because the containers look the same!! It took 5 days of mixing the milks, but now they are on straight Goat's Milk. They didn't even notice the switch to Goat Yogurt. Now, I think the hardest thing is going to be me and my husband. I have really restricted my diet already and really rely on a few certain foods - Greek Vanilla Yogurt. I love this. It is dessert to me. Also, popcorn. No more popcorn - or at least when the kids are awake!! It is only for about 6 weeks all together, though. I will persevere. I hope. My husband has already put up some red flags. He tried the Goat Mozza Cheese and said that he was not going to eat that. He. He. I put it in his Egg/Spinach Wrap this morning and he didn't even notice. Giggle.

My Handsome Man
I thought I should share this pic. The jacket was made by a cousin of my mothers. Isn't it adorable. Absolutely gorgeous.

Settling In
We are starting to settle in after 2 weeks of family help, including 1 1/2 weeks of my husband being home. Oddly enough, the transition has been very easy. The kids are back to playing with each other the majority of the time and the baby once again has free reign. We have headed to 'Strong Start' 2 mornings this week. I am back to cooking all the meals and am happy to be doing it. The hardest part has been my transitioning to my husband's new work schedule. Every other week he works late 2 days a week. This means that I really need to pace myself a lot better. I need to slow down in the morning, which is normally my hustle and bustle time to get things done, tidied, cleaned up. This is the time that I have the most energy. My afternoons in the past were spent more with an outing, reading books, craft, puzzles. Now, when 6:30pm rolls along, I need to keep going and get all the kids ready for bed and in to bed by myself those 2 days. It really shouldn't be that hard, it is only 1/2 hour from when my husband gets home to when the kids go to bed. But, that 1/2 hour seems to make a huge difference. Oh and not to mention that on those 2 nights I know have to clean up the house and kitchen on my own. After just 2 days of this new schedule, I am realizing that pacing is going to have to be key. I definitely can't leave any big chores for those days.

Norwex
I have procrastinated the last few days in confirming my Norwex party. Why? Because I hate talking on the phone. So, for those who read this: Norwex offers Environmentally Friendly cleaning products. I have tried a few of their products: clothes, dish soap, dishwasher soap, and stainless steal scrubber. So far I have been very pleased with all except the dishwasher soap. I gave the stainless steal scrubber to my mother and she loves, LOVES it. She has already put an order in for more.
What: Norwex
When: January 17, 2:30pm
Where: 21366 Lakeview Cres. (Scotti's House)
Who: Anyone. Bring a friend.
See you all there.

Vega Testing
Twin1 had his Vega testing done yesterday to determine any food intolerance he many have that contribute to his asthma/eczema. This test is a little controversial, but if it works then I will be very happy and so will twin1. He will finally be able to sleep without scratching.
The results: He is intolerant to everything. I mean everything. Ug. So, we are in the process of eating all the foods he shouldn't eat and replacing it with food that he can eat. Once that has happened, then we begin Phase 1 of riding his body of bad yeast. This entails a very strict diet for 14 days. We are all going to give it a try. After 14 days, we can introduce a fruit and yeast bread. This will be an adventure. However, if it works, I will be a proud and vocal supporter.
When we started seeing a naturopathic doctor, I said I was going to give this a try. I really want to get my kids off all the steroids and so on that they ingest everyday. I just cannot believe that it is healthy for them to take these things everyday for who knows how long. They now take their supplements without much protest. Twin1 still spits out his Omega supplement dribbling fish oil all over his clothes, which has gone through the wash and caused all our clothes to have a fishy scent. Despite that, I am pleased with things so far.
*********************
Oh. We are now the proud owners of 5 Danio fish. Fun, Fun. The twins quite like them. Fish, Fish, Fish. Soon all the neighborhood cats will be circling our house with the new pets and the fish oil scent.

Today
We had a great day today. We got a lot of things cleaned up around the house: laundry, emptying suitcases.... Tomorrow we have a big day. Twin1 is getting an allergy test done at the naturopathic clinic, we are picking up a new cabinet to help organize the chaos of toys in the living room, and then we are picking up a fish for each of the boys. I scrounged up mom's old fish tank today for the fish to live in. We still have no idea what type of fish to get. I have yet to clean the tank and find out whether everything works. The boys are pretty excited, though.
At the moment, the twins are happily playing with a new Thomas train set. A friend of my husbands wanted to get rid of it and gave it to us. It even came with a storage table. It is very nice and the twins are playing wonderfully with it. The baby, on the other hand, would love to get right in the and rip everything apart.
I started a new quilt last week. This one is much harder than the others. I finished cutting it all out today and began sewing. I think it is going to take me several months to finish this one. I spent approx. 1 1/2 hours sewing today and only completed one row. Then, there is the back, ribbing, and quilting. Ug. What was I thinking? Oh, I know, it is going to be gorgeous. I can't wait to see it together. Perhaps it won't take me quite as long as I previously thought!! I am counting the minutes until the twins head to bed so that I can finish sewing together the top row. Fun, Fun. Who knew?
********
Stop the presses. The twins just called me over to show me that they put away the train set in the storage table. They even organized it with trains on one side and the tracks on the other. Perhaps their is some hope.

Glorification
They fell asleep like this watching a movie after a long day of skiing, sledding, hiking, and playing. Too cute.***********
My husband has officially been glorified. Twin2 said, "Your right, Dad."
Oh, and I thought I should let everyone know that the Nipple situation is not over. Twin1 lifted up his shirt the other day and said, "My feed baby." Ugg.
We are all very happy to be home. The twins have played non-stop. And no TV. Ya. I like them so much between sans TV. The are much more pleasant, cooperative, and imaginative. My husband has been furiously trying to finish the baby's room. One more sanding and we are ready to paint. Yahoo.

Happy to be home.

Last Day
Good morning. And I mean MORNING. Yes, wake up was a little early today - 5:30am. I believe today will be the last day of our wonderful ski holiday with my family. We will make the journey home tonight after dinner in hopes that we will have a peaceful drive while the kids sleep soundly in their car seats. Yes, it makes for a late night for us, but the peace is well worth it.
Our stay at the ski hill has been awesome. It was great to have all the family spend so much time with all the kids. My husband and I even skied together and got a dinner out together. I napped one afternoon, my husband slept in most mornings. Besides the PMS days where my cranky B**** side let loose, we had a fabulous time. However, I am most definitely ready to head home. I have now been socializing for 9 days straight. Yup, I am ready to be anti-social. Although, I am not sure that I am ready to start doing all the cooking myself again.
Well, on this New Years Day 2010. I am sure you are all wondering what my New Years Resolution is....... um, I don't have one. I didn't even manage to stay awake past 8:30pm last night. Aren't I sad. But, I wasn't about to miss out on sleep just so I could see 12am. In fact, if I had been wearing my watch, I probably was awake at 12:01am feeding the little man that never sleeps. As it turned out, it was a good thing that I didn't stay up since morning came very early today.
My poor husband, he only has one more question to finish for his Distance Economics course. I woke him up at 6:00am this morning so that he could finish it. He, he. I can be a little mean some times. He thought he was going to sleep in - Again!!
Well, it has been an all out eating, movie watching, game playing, visiting, playing frenzy. We have all had a blast, but home bound we will be. Thanks everyone. We had a great, GREAT time.

Oh, and your squash soup was delish, cuz. Thanks.
