Tuesday. Twins. Tacos.

1.  The twins are home

I can't put this onto my list enough.  I can't put into words how much my soul eases when all three boys are home.  Cameron and Owen are obsessed with Jack and he is obsessed with them.  He essentially calls them both Owen and he just follows them wherever they go.  

2. Fresh Cuts
Jack is not free from my tradition (NOT on purpose) of terrible haircuts for my kids.  I already miss running my fingers through his sweet curls when I rock him at night.

He was super easy and just sat on my lap skeptical of the whole event.  I am sure all of the salon patrons wanted to shoot me though since I brought 3 crazy boys in at once.   I have no doubt that I looked like a total shit show BUT it all go completed quickly and now all three boys have fresh cuts before the school year starts.

 3. No more bottles
Man oh man this was long over due.  So here is the deal...kids are supposed to be done with bottles at 12 months.  Clearly I had a much harder time prying these lifesavers from Jack's hands.  What made me finally just pull the plug and put myself through lots more tantrums and harder bedtimes ---- Dr. Agarwala. They took Niam's bottles away and though I new Shelby & Ezra were light years ahead of us -- if Dr. Agarwala did it -- we needed to suck it up and do it too.  I think that last week was our first full week without our bottles... (except we forgot to tell grandpa who ended up giving him 2 bottles that day for nap!!)

Anyways -- getting rid of the bottles was sort of a big deal and hard for me this time around.  I needed to document that it is finally over.

This is Jack at 5 am (yes you read that correctly).  He wouldn't go back to bed.  I bet a bottle would of helped.  I tried rocking him for 45 minutes but finally put him in front of Mickey while I made myself a cup (or 2) of coffee.

4. Back to school night
We all headed to Forest Glen tonight to meet the new teachers for first grade.  More than once Mike and I have commented back and forth that Owen is due for the best teacher available.  If I had to compare the two right now I think he is in the lead.  I am super excited for both boys and I love knowing kids and parents in each class.  Oh -- and the boys already have projects to complete for homework.

5. Rouzer and Rouzer Cleaning Services
Mike has been working his ass off and the company is continuing to take off.  It is scary and overwhelming because at times we have no clue what we are doing....but also really freaking fabulous.  He is a beast.  **The good kind**

oh my goodness I love this sweet picture.  He climbed up next to daddy so he could  enjoy some bites of cereal. 

The twins had their dentist appointment this evening and both of them passed with flying colors and no cavities. They are really pretty easy to take places like this and they always make me a proud mom.
