I have so been bad at blogging...

Just too many irons in the fire and I have let this go.  Until I can get on here and catch up I will leave you with a pic.

Vacation in the Smoky Mtns. 2009

I'm waaay behind in my blogging.  I'm working on catching up.  In the meantime here is a vacation slideshow. 

Vacation in the Smokies 2009

Just a few pics from our great Memorial Day weekend!

Thing 1 and Thing 2 at it again.....

They made Easter baskets at Mother's Day Out on Thursday

Friday night the little darlins had so much fun coloring eggs that they couldn't wait to get up Saturday morning and hide them. Daddy forgot to put the refrigerator lock on the door Friday night. Boy did they have fun EARLY in the a.m. on Saturday. When will I ever learn that a little peace and quiet is just not worth it. Quiet means TROUBLE!

I know someday we will look back on all this mischief and laugh about it. But when I was on my hands and knees for 2 hours scrubbing egg out of my one year old carpet it was pretty hard to fathom.

Some great new pics and Bri took a lot of them!

1st ponytails! But today they got a haircut, so no more of these for a while.

Mommy and daughter silliness.

Sister silliness!

Bri's photo shoot.

Conversation w/the twins this morning!

Maggie: Where Max(the cat) go?
Nattie: Right here Naggie.
Maggie: What he doin?
Me: Licking his butt!!
Maggie: Me wanna licka me butt, Mommy!
Me: LOL!!!

Bloody morning...LITERALLY!

Maggie fell down two stairs this morning, which they do all the time, and cried like it killed her. Me being such a sympathetic mom says "get up your o.k."! Nattie starts crying and screaming "Naggie bleedin"! OMG!! BLOOD EVERYWHERE!!! At first I thought she split her lip but the blood is so bad it takes me a good 10 minutes to see that she just scraped a layer of skin off of the whole center of her lip. I think she had a paci in her mouth. Her upper lip is swollen and red and the bottom lip is huge and looks like raw meat. I called my neighbor to ask for suggestions on stopping the blood flow after a solid 20 minutes of it. Her suggestions are the same as what I am doing cold wet washcloths and ice. So I called the pedi office. And learned something new. Don't use wet cloths! They prevent clotting. Who knew? I sure didn't. Sure enough after another minute or two with a dry cloth it stopped.

Now does anybody have any suggestions on how to get blood out of what looks like a murder scene!! Carpet, brand new gymboree outfit!! I have them soaking in cold water with oxyclean in it. It's only 11:15 AM!! It's going to be a LONG day! Chet is out of town ALL week. It's going to be an even L-O-N-G-E-R week.
