Delightful Finch

Delightful Finch likes to go to the bottom of the stairs and yell, "Raaaaabit, [where] are you?" She yells Beautiful Rabbit's name over and over again - even if she's looking right at Rabbit.

Finch has a "rash" on her tummy that's actually a carpet burn from sliding down the stairs on her tummy (feet first). As she slides she says, "Weeeeeee!" and then at the bottom she rolls over a couple times (faking momentum) and says, "Woah, woah, woah!"

If you come to my house and leave your shoes by the door, they may just walk off. Finch loves trying on other people's shoes and walking around in them.....and when she wants to go outside, she'll bring you her own shoes and say "shoes shoes shoes" over and over until you put them on her.

No Man Can Serve Two Masters Dinner...

..because they'll both get fussy and start kicking each other. They'll each have less than zero patience. Then when you finally get both of them happily eating, one will mess her diaper...and you'll find yourself wishing you were a hindu deity (ya know - the one with 6 hands). So you'll listen to one scream while the other eyes you suspiciously. Finally you'll give in and change the diaper while they both scream. By the time you're done they'll both be fed, but neither will fall asleep because they'll be too worked up. So you'll go back and forth between the two, rocking/burping/inserting binkies....and then you'll get a sudden craving for a turkey sandwhich (and you'll be grateful that your mom left a jar of turkey meat in your fridge). and then you'll find yourself online...blogging instead of trying to squeeze in an hour of sleep cuz you can type while you're chewing your food...and you'll decide you must be crazy...but atleast you won't be hearing non-existant music like the previous night....*ahem*...and then you'll look down and realize that you just gobbled up a whole pack of red vines...or maybe the music faeries stole them. yeah. that's it.

so anyway...just don't even try it. ummm...amen.

Happy Birthday (kinda)

If they'd been full term, Angel and Seraph would've been born today :)

They both weigh 5 lbs 11 oz. This is good news for Angel, who's finally gaining weight and bad news for Seraph, who's only gained 50 grams since she left the hospital a week ago. Seraph has another weight check tomorrow.

Picture: Fairee Princess & Angel

Sweet Fairee Princess (left) and Angel (right). Fairee Princess is Angel's cousin. She's my sweet niece who's been coming to help me with my kids so I can live through feeding twins every 3 hours. My kids adore her. Last week (when Seraph came home from the hospital) she went camping. We missed her tons!

Glad you're back, and thanks for all your help :)

Strong Bear

Strong Bear: Can I hold the baby?
Me: Ok. Sit down
Strong Bear: Look, Baby Angel has flowers.

Strong Bear: If you get me wet again, I'm going to knock you down!

Family Time

We took the family for a walk today. It was overcast, but never managed to rain. The twins seemed to like the fresh air. The other kids seemed to like the freedom of being outdoors.

Sexy Haqon took over Seraph's feeding schedule this morning so I could catch some sleep. It was heavenly :) The twins are both doing well. They eat all the time~er..every 3 hours, which doesn't leave much time for mom to sleep!

Lil Bunny Foofoo

After many happy years and wonderful memories, Bunny has hopped on to heaven. She'll be missed. We love her.
