Twins anyone?

My cousin, Melanie, sent me this picture. She said this picture was a premonition of my future and I think she's right. Who knew, back in 1985 when I was pretending to have twin cabbage patch kids, that I really would someday.

So Sweet

This is a bad picture as far as clarity, but how cute is it??? I caught Adam helping Maya put on her shoes. It literally melted my heart.

3, 2, 1....blast off

Here's a picture of the kids using their car seats as a rocket ship...all the while I was vacuuming up cereal, cracker, popcorn, pretzel, and donut crumbs out of the car.

Skiing

Chad and I went skiing today. It was so much fun! I haven't been since high school, so I was excited but really nervous. The first run I flew down the hill and wiped out. After that, it was like riding a bike...well, maybe not that easy. Anyways, we have a family ski trip planned in March and I wanted to make sure I was ready. We are going to Snowshoe Mountain in West Virginia. It will be our first ski trip as a family and our good friends, the Passalacqua's, are coming with us. I'm so excited to see how the boys do in ski school!

Princesses

Maya, Adam, Jack and Sophie all dresses up at princesses today!

Potty words, Cupid, and Daddy...

The boys and Maya are OBSESSED with potty talk. Words like poop, pee, wee-wee, diaper, toilet...and (unfortunately) other words like stupid, butt and hate. It's so frustrating. I'm sorta at a stand point. I feel like time-out isn't a hard enough punishment because they (Jack) will go in time-out a billion times a day. I've tried soap, which sorta works, but makes me feel bad doing. So I have decided to let the kids say potty words only in the basement. If one of them starts saying something bad I ask them to go to the basement to get the words out. They don't like going by themselves...so this process has been working...today, anyways. Sometimes it's hard having boys the same age. They both feed off each other and think the same thing is funny.

The boys have discovered Cupid. They are so creative in a naughty way! They love Cupid because he wears a diaper...ha ha ha.... and Cupid rhymes with stupid! So now they say cupid and just laugh.

Chad has been out of town since Wednesday and thankfully he comes home tomorrow. I think the kids are ready to have daddy back...and have a little less of mommy! Here's a picture of Chad he sent to us today from snowboarding in Colorado with his friends.
