If Sydney was an Indian...

...her name would be "Poops in Tub."
Four times in the past week.

We made it two and half years without that every happening with Clare. Guess it is a parental rite of passage of sorts.

The Life of a Little Mommy

Clare goes in phases with her toys. Some weeks she likes Play-doh, some days it is Potato Head, but this past week it has been her dolls. She plays with two dolls at a time....how fitting. She has named them Ashley and Luke, two names of kids in her class at school.

On this particular day, Luke (or Ashley...they are interchangeable), was very hungry.


"Mommy" has to focus to get her baby to eat.

And now it's time to get some things done. Throw that baby in a sling and off she goes.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Thanksgiving Feast

Today was Clare's Thanksgiving feast at school. This little Indian met me at the door.

We were all glad that Casey was able to make it.


Clare spent more time looking around at all of her friends' families than she did eating. She was intrigued by the whole situation. I was able to catch her mid-bite though!


This was in her take-home folder today. I wonder how much prodding and coercing it took to get this chart filled in. Whatever it took, it made me smile when I saw it.

I hope she knows how thankful we are for her!

My Day in Numbers, 3rd Edition

15... seconds between the time Sydney hit her head on the church pew in front of us on Sunday and when she let out the blood-curdling scream

(Can you see the bruise in the middle of her forehead?)

22...times I have buckled and unbuckled car seats today

11...days until my nephew moves back to Texas!

11:00....time of feeding that has been dropped for the babies. We are weaning!

8/2005....last time I wasn't nursing or pregnant, with the exception of one month.

3...number of recent pictures I like that were taken in front of this window




3...number of words the twins are saying ("boo," "hi," and "Dada") Admittedly, it's hard to tell when it's a real word versus just making noise.

$90.55...amount I spent at Target when I went in for one bag of chips. Oops! Don't tell Casey!

15....days until my babies turn....

1!
