The following is a list of all entries from the twins category.

The lobbyist and the politician.

Ivy (at the top of her lungs): No - No, you spewed! You spewed.
Noah (pretending not to hear): I love you too, Ivy! Love you too.
Ivy: You spewed, I said, you spee - you - ed!
Noah: I not pooed Ivy.

2:20am Ivy: “I want to snuggle with Mummy! Iwantosnugglewithmummeeeeeee Iwantosnugglewithmumeeeeee!”
Mummy: “No, you stay in your bed.”

I’m not hip with that.

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 […]


Bedtime antics.

This is Sunday.
I put them to bed. I snuggle them down. Noah has Ted and Ivy’s arms cling tightly around BokBok, boa also in hand.
They are so not ready to settle but I sit with them anyhow, willing them to go to sleep.
As twins they have the right, it seems, to suddenly start a banter […]

Twin things…

Trish over at Little Drummer Boys has linked me to her Thursday Thirteen of twin blogs. Looking back, I don’t really have alot about the twin type things that are done around here and in fact, I would have to say that Ivy and Noah haven’t had alot of twin moments yet, being only two.
So […]


Birthday memories…

Well, dear readers, it’s the day before my little cherubs turn two. We have had many ups and downs over the last 24 months (most of them chronicled on this blog).
My little guy is amazing, social, easy going, talkative, has a gorgeous dimpled smile and a wicked sense of humour, loves routine, kisses and cuddles. […]


Home and housekeeping.

After a few horrible days in the hospital Ivy is home. Re-intergration into the house has not been smooth but we’ll get there. Thank you to everyone who sent their well wishes. It meant alot and helped us to get through.
I know I am a little behind but I need to do a little bit of […]


Karma and what is a potty for anyway?

*Thinks to self: I should know not to bag out my paed (ever) because karma has a way of teaching you a lesson.*
Ivy is sick again. *sigh*. Will this never end?
With a tummy bug and a very sore bottom, my poor little girl, the one who is usually constantly on the go, has been very still today.
Get […]


Early birthday gumboots.

This morning I was disorganised.
Slow to get moving and generally dragging the chain. I wanted to stay in bed. I wanted to lie in and read. I wanted to pretend that I didn’t have to get up and get the kids moving for school, the babies dressed and fed…it was a stay in your […]


Note to self.

Why would you take one husband, five children and two toddlers to Toys R Us when you are severly sleep deprived? Honestly. Did you really think that you would have time to look for birthday presents for the soon to be two year olds? Follow the kids around, making mental notes on what they are interested […]
