Who are all those good-lookin' kids? Oh yeah. They're mine. I cannot believe there are six of them...
By now I'm usually ready to start thinking of the next one, but these twins just still seem so little to me because they need so much from me. It's taking longer to feel like I don't still have "babies."
Speaking of babies, they turned TWO.
{And the brothers:}
And speaking of those babies needing me a lot, they are SO BUSY. Each of them is busier than any of the other kids, and there are TWO OF THEM.
Ok, I've learned that with the twins, when the house is quiet, something's wrong. One day, I found them getting into something, and I put them out of it and cleaned it up. When I got done, I went to go find them again, and they were happily dismantling something else. When I quickly put those things away, I turned around, and they were into something else. On the 5th turnaround of this, I called my mom, because I needed someone to tell it to. I was putting dishes away from the dishwasher while I talked to her, and just as I finished relating the last round of trouble they had gotten into, I smelled chili powder. I thought, "Huh. That's weird," and kept talking for a few more minutes. When I finally paused long enough to hear that it was also pretty quiet, I turned around, and here they were. They had torn open and dumped out about 5-6 taco seasoning packets and were happily sitting in it, running their fingers through it. This is a picture after I talked about having them try to wash it up with me with the washrag Halle is holding.
Oh my gosh our days are full of excitement and entertainment.
I am so glad they have each other.
So Conference:
And Easter:
And forts. This time the kids slept in them. They are in there right now:
I love that the kids play so happily in our basement, even though it is unfinished. They spend so much happy time down here. =)
So...
Daddy opens birthday presents really well. He always gets so excited about the kids' gifts to him.
And some more Flips & Balances. =)
What a sweet cutie pie, 8 year old Carlie. =)
