So let's be honest for a minute.....it is HARD to find time to post to this blog. So it is sad but true, I will only have three posts this month. So here goes....quickly.

1. My little helper
Owen loves to help. LOVES. He tries to help sweep the floor, he picks up his toys (sometimes), and he is always collecting items around the house and handing them to me to put away. Here is a picture of him try to help in the kitchen. He actually did the entire set-up himself. I just snapped the photo!




2. Monday Nights


Monday nights have come back. LOVE IT. We have dinner with my parents every Monday night. Because I work Sunday I am usually beyond exhausted. It is always nice to have extra help and great food. Oh--and the boys are obsessed. Obsessed.





3. Steam cleaner

I bought a new steam cleaner for my hard word floors. It is actually embarrassing to say how many times I have cleaned the floor. So instead of the number, just be happy for me. I used it once and it is great. Yay!

4. Books

Borders is going out of business and I bought the boys some new books. All of them are interactive and the love them. They actually fight over the books.

5. "No"

The boys are telling each other "no" all the time. I think that it might be their favorite word. The even just walk around the toy room saying, "no no no." The boys have been talking more and using more words. It has been a lot of fun around here!

Enough already...just post

This post has taken days to upload, and I just accidentally erased the entire thing. So enough is enough. It is a busy, fun, crazy time here. All you get....is to enjoy the pictures. Hopefully I will be able to post again soon.















(This is a common theme....a child crying at my legs. Though that I would get a quick snapshot of my view.)

Quick

Short and sweet because man these boys are keeping me on my toes. Here are a list of the few things I love right now.

1. $15 extra an hour at work
2. Pinterest and damnyouautocorrect.com
3. Boys saying TONS of new words
4. An empty dishwasher
5. Owen tells me when he has pooped
6. Air conditioning
7. Flirtini Martinis

Here is a picture of the boys taking a table apart one night this week. Hey--at least it kept them busy for a few short minutes!





This is a picture of the boys eating at our new spot...the dining room table. I taped down a cloth so it is easy to clean. We eat every meal there. Strangely enough, it has sort of changed things.






Owen found the light switch. It makes for interesting nap times. This afternoon they actually never napped. They just jumped, played, and laughed in their crib.









(I am nervous to put things on the walls for fear they will pull them down. I think that it is a valid fear!)
