It's finally here!!! The house is complete and beautiful!! We have been moving some stuff over the weekend but the movers come tomorrow. So tomorrow night will be our first night in the new house. We are all so excited. I am so tired from this busy week and just ready to be in the house. We all are. The twins get so excited every time we go to the house. It is like they know that is their new house. It is so cute. I will post new pics when I can. Not sure when we will have internet service again. Hopefully by the end of the week.

View of the House from outside
We took these last night. We have grass and a deck now!! The pics of the front of the house aren't that clear because the sun sets in the front and it's not a good time to take pics. But here it is!

A Day in the Life of a Mom with TWINS!!
Remember as you are reading this that this is only a small part of my day!!
Changing a diaper with one baby is a huge feat much less with two. This was one diaper change with Natalie today. Fight to keep the baby still while trying to change a poopy diaper, sing songs, distract with different objects, and still have to clean poop from the baby’s hand because she somehow managed to get her hand in it!! In the meantime, I have laid the dirty diaper aside but not far enough out of reach of her twin sister!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH……….
Not once but three times today, they both manage to crawl behind the recliner that is sitting in the corner of the room with an upside down laundry basket and an end table on one side and a TV table turned just right so that not even the cat can manage to get thru!! Somehow these two do! A bookshelf sits back there with nothing on the bottom 3 shelves. Should be pretty safe right?? Are you kidding me?? They totally destroy a new People magazine that I haven’t even opened up yet! The new box of Kleenex is now empty but all of those soft tissues make a wonderful soft place for two little girls to lay down!! The TV is so screwed up it took me an hour to get it to work because God only knows what they did to the remote control. Someone calls my cell phone to say that they have been trying to call my house but it goes straight to voicemail. Yes they have found the cordless phones and turned them on too. How could they manage to destroy so much in a just a few minutes of my absence??
They also got the wipes off the changing table somehow. Maybe Maggie lifted Nattie up???? And they emptied the box for probably about the 3rd time in 2 days!! It seems nothing is safe. No place is too high! Nothing is out of sight!!
I am starting to really hate mealtimes. Can you imagine how much of a mess 2 toddlers can make 3 times a day?? At the end of the day I have washed 6 faces, 60 fingers, 6 high chair trays, and cleaned approximately 300 sq. feet of floor!! Not to mention trying to shovel food into their screaming mouths as fast as I can while trying to get in a few bites for myself. Most of the time they end up eating my food too!! Why oh why am I not the petite size 8 I used to be then you say????
Well, I’ll tell you. Because at the end of the day when my little angels are tucked into their cribs dreaming of the next days destruction, I have put on my nightgown and washed my face and settled myself into my recliner in front of my favorite TV show with a pint of Ben and Jerry’s or a plate full of brownies or cookies and a big tall glass of milk!! And then I pop a couple of Ibuprofen for good measure before I tuck myself into bed to rest up for the next day of life with twins!!!

New House
From upstairs looking down into the family room.
From the family room looking upstairs.
These are the kitchen and dining area.
These 2 pics are the master bathroom.
I cannot wait to soak in this tub!! It was the most important upgrade in the house!! Ha! Ha!
I don't have any more recent ones of the outside. I will have to post some though because they ended up tearing all the stone off of the front and redoing it. I thought it looked good before but now it looks GREAT! We are going over Wed. night to meet a painter for an estimate, so we will take some then. Hopefully our front door will be painted by then.
It's nice to have a twin sister!
This has got to be the fun part of having a twin. Problem is Nattie doesn't return the favor! Ha! Ha! Poor Mags always does all the work. But I don't think she minds. She will be walking on her own very soon. Nattie is going to be a little slower walking. She is just now starting to pull up and let go of things.
I noticed yesterday that Maggie had two teeth come in at the same time. Her second on the bottom and her first top one. Nattie's second on the bottom broke thru too but no signs of any on the top.
The girls are so fun and so funny now. I love this age. I love that they can show us that they love us too. Giving kisses and hugs are the latest and greatest!
I couldn't get the last video to download because it was too big but this one is cute too!
I have some new house pics that I will post today too.
Enjoy!
Edited to Add: I posted the wrong video up top. That's Maggie too but she was tired and grumpy! The one below is the twin sister fun!
