Snot Fountains

That's the term used by my darling wife to describe the current status of the twins. And a descriptive term it is! Poor little things. Claire tries to suck on a bottle, but can't breathe because her nose is so plugged up. But, oh, the screams when we use the booger ball to try to clean her out! Kate is not a heck of a lot better off. Teething isn't helping matters.

But we fed them chicken noodle soup, and they've been getting lots of sleep - and quality time in the La-Z-Boy with mom and dad.

And that's the way things are.

I'm a bad blogger

Wow, August? I haven't posted since August? I know fall is always one of our busiest times of year, but sheesh.

So to recap:
Fall: Busy with babies, leaves (and more leaves), football, and leaves.
Thanksgiving: Turkey! Yum!
December: Holiday activities, shopping, snow.
Holidays: Running around, getting the babies off schedule - and paying for it later. And coming down with a nasty cold that lingered around for a bit.

Which brings us to January, and a period of relative calm. This past weekend the biggest adventure was going to Kmart, which is actually more than we did the previous weekend. We've been unmotivated, lazy and generally lacking in energy. That's what winter is about, right? It's a good time to just plop on the floor and let the girls crawl around on us. Yes, they are both crawling. I really need to summon the energy to get that baby gate put up.

Well, it is Monday morning after all, and I need to get to work. While I can't promise daily updates, I'll try to do better than every five months!
