…my babies are turning three this week, on Sunday.
Three!
It only seems like yesterday that I was waiting for their arrival.
Now I am listening to them role play with two monster trucks…
First monster truck to second monster truck;
“Why, yes, you’re right, I am very beautiful”.
Second MT to first MT:
“No you’re not, you’re purple”.

After the post about my worry […]

The girls’ and AJ’s year six farewell is just around the corner and here, in the boonies, the year six farewell is a big deal for 12 year olds everywhere.

I don’t mind.
Really.

Movies.
Bowling.
Cooking.
Craft.
Today we wanted to do something, get out of the house.

Today, I […]

My almost twelve year old twins have just come home and announced to me that they are going out with two equally hormonal, prepubescent boys.
Best friends.
Boys.
Double dating my girls.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!
Boy germs.
It wasn’t that long ago that we used to tease each other about boy germs if an offending species of the male variety brushed up against […]
