It’s 8:25 p.m. and all of my children are in bed. And it’s at least another 30 minutes before the nursing one will be wanting me. So I’m taking a minute to blog again. Wouldn’t want to get too far out the habit, right?
So where are we these days…
- Alex has learned to throw things away. Pretty much everything. Whether it’s garbage or not. Gonna have to work on that…
- The twins still love their NLS. Makes things so nice for me. Though I have to make sure they don’t love on her too much. “Be gentle” is the phrase of the month!
- Megan has been having issues with gas. A couple of recent days (and nights) have been pretty rough. I’m beginning to wonder if Zantac will be in our future…
- And I think she’s hit a small growth spurt, too. So she’s been eating, like, every 2 hours for a couple of days. Today, she was starting to go 3 hours between again. Made for a much calmer day for me, let me just say!
- I’m very much loving the mai tai baby carrier that I got in exchange for the Infantino sling carrier they recalled last year. Megan loves to be snuggled up on my chest in it. It actually can be arranged to fit my small frame correctly. And it’s let me take the twins outside for a bit the last two days. Nice!
- The laundry is never ending these days. Never. Ending. *sigh*
- Erin got tomato sauce on the seat cover of Megan’s swing yesterday. It took 3 times through the wash (and, finally, the Clorox bleach pen) to get it out. But it did come out. Finally. I was very, very glad about that.
- Most days, I’m feeling pretty good. Still tired. Still low on stamina. But getting better. That is so nice!
- I found a recipe for vanilla sugar cookies that I have been really wanting to try. Haven’t had time yet. But one of these days, I’ll let you know if they turned out well. It might not happen until January…but I am going to make these cookies!
- The twins have loved playing in the leaves that Eric has raked up. They sat in them, threw leaves all over each other, and generally had a blast. I love watching life through almost-two-year-old eyes!
And I think that just about covers the important highlights. Hope all is well where you are…happy Tuesday!

It’s great that the twins have each other to play with (i.e., in the leaves)! I know it’s double the work having twins, but I can see how occasionally it can come in handy! And, glad you’re feeling better… keep it up!

Ian and Kayla have been loving the leaves as well!! Fun to watch them!
Maybe you should come to cookie baking day this year and bring the sugar cookie recipe…

^That would be fun! I hope they can make it…Do we have a date in mind?^ Kim will be having issues standing by then. We should make it as close to Thanksgiving as possible, huh?
Shannah, it sounds like life with an extra child is going very well. I love to hear you tell about the twins’ excursions (sp?). Sometimes I wish I was back in the time when you all were little!
