good bye baby :(

so i have been contemplating what to do with the twins and sleeping arrangements. i got a wild hair this afternoon and decided to take down the cribs. it really started by trying to take down the drop sides to create daybed toddler beds. when one wouldnt convert because i was missing a few pieces, it just had to come down. oh well. it only took 2 hours (LOL!) to get them (mostly Sylvie) to stop screaming. we shall see how long it takes tomorrow night and i'm also excited to see how early they will wake up in the morning and more importantly where they are sleeping!

a little ketchup please!

we have been busy having fun here and there since my last post. after a pretty tumultuous morning, we headed to VWM for a few things today during a big thunderstorm. we were able to play inside which was great, then home for a nap that would never be.
lydia is mommy's helper in the kitchen now days, great with quesedillas and now mac-n-cheese. soon, she'll be making us dinner!! so we had hamburgers, mac-n-cheese and fruit salad (watermelon, strawberries and blueberries) everyone at the table is quiet munching, gobbling down their yummy dinner. next thing i know, i see sylvie dipping her blueberries into her ketchup meant for her burger....EWWW! nasty baby!! meanwhile, charlotte does the same with her watermelon...ugh!!
lydia got to try out her new running shoes during our post dinner walk, we played red light green light all the way to the bike trail bridge and each street we crossed lydia asked if we were going much farther, not sure how deep into nature we would get.

100 degrees: summer is here!

today is the first day after the big wedding of my dear cousin Amy Lynn Webb. we thought we'd have a week to relax but oh no! dance camp started today 9-12! JJ took lydia to camp, then the twins and I went to the gym and then the grocery store rounding out the morning by picking up lydia. we went home had a light lunch and down for naps! while the twins slept, lydia and i played tea party with water and little debbies. the twins woke up a bit late so we piled into the car and went to the valley view aquatic center. i wasnt sure how it might work but decided it's not a good idea. charlotte has no fear! yikes! that kid was loving it! sylvie was a little more apprehensive but once she got comfortable she was all about the slide! i was mostly nervous about keeping all 3 alive! charlotte and sylvie split up from me and lydia at one point so after 45 minutes, we called it quits. hit the dairy queen drive thru for 2 dilly bars, a choc/hot fudge sundae for lydia and an oreo blizzard for me (yum, my fav!) check that off our to-do list! i need to find 2 swimsuits with built in floaties!
