Day in the Park with my TwiceBabies!!

It was a cold day, but a nice day nonetheless. There were clouds in the sky overhead and in the distance. Some clouds looked full of rain, yet not a single drop fell from the sky.

At the toddler playground, my twins and I played in the play set, climbing up the stairs, jumping in the study trampoline, climbing through the red, tunnel and going down the slides feet first on bottom and belly, head first on belly, no fear at all mind you, and turning the wheel at one end of the play set.

My twins had me climbing the steps with them and going down the slides before or after them and they loved every bit of it.

Over at the big kids play set, I placed them in the toddler swings for a while, they eventually got bored and wanted to sit on the big kids swings, no security involved. So, like we do at Nana and Papa's, they swung on these swings at a slower pace and loved it. They also liked seeing other kids, only two, playing nearby.

After our one hour and a half time of playing at this park, I decided it was time to go home and see Daddy. And, as usual, one of my twins went home kicking and screaming. This is a normal aspect of taking them anywhere these days and this is why Mommy (me) prefer to stay home where no one else has to witness their obsessions and unflattering behaviors.

God Bless everyone!!

Long Day After Christmas with my Twins

Today, we got up at the same time we normally do. I fed them, changed them, took my shower and we left to drop off a Christmas present for my girlfriend. While at her home, "A" and "E" played with my girlfriends daughter so we could talk by ourselves.

Well, I realized I was supposed to work in the nursery this Sunday. But, I told her I have been unable to open the excel schedule for nursery watch and this is why I did not know I was scheduled to work that day. We also talked about other things in our lives and what we are looking forward to in the coming year.

Around 12:50, I told my girls we are leaving so we could look for some items at a particular store I like to frequent for a Christmas ornament storage container. I found it, not on sale, but I used my coupon and that gave me a discount anyway.

From there, we went to another store I frequent to purchase a toy for them, which I returned later in the evening when Daddy was home, so I could purchase something American made, online. This will be a Christmas gift from their Great Aunties.

Anyway, on the way home from this store, "A" and "E" fell asleep. WOW, was I excited or what.
I mean, my twins, they were sleeping, at 2:45 and I was in heaven. Sleeping babies is always a delight to behold. Especially when at age two, they refuse to take their afternoon naps.

Since they fell asleep, I drove around town for a while. I mean, I was not about to wake these little angels. So yes, I was getting a break, even said break was not in the way I would have intended.

Once they work up, I took them to the one park, where it was real windy and the equipment I found out was more or less for older children. I promised them I would take them to a different park tomorrow that had play equipment for toddlers, which I found in the same vicinity.

All in all, today was a good day. My twins were out of the home all day and they seemed to like it. Now, if only they would stop their obsession with balls. You, know, toy balls, balls they kick, balls they throw. They see balls on their DVD and say "Ball!" and it drives me crazy.

I really hope this obsession ends soon.

Have a blessed evening and day my fellow bloggers.

Merry Christmas!!

Hoping everyone had a blessed and safe Christmas and that your New Year is even better than this year.

Well, this was our twins third Christmas. They were only one month old Christmas 2005, one year old Christmas 2006 and now two years old Christmas 2007.

We drove to their Auntie JuJu's home around 4:00PM for Christmas dinner and to see their other relatives and because they are not taking naps anymore during the daytime, they tend to be, shall I say, a bit (or a lot) fussy. This said fussiness creates little whiney babies who get on not only Mommy and Daddy's nerves, but everyone around them.

So, no more than 3 hours later, we had to leave; presents unopened and take our twins home, get them out of their beautiful dresses, into their sleepers and off to bed. I keep telling them this is what happens when you decide not to take an afternoon nap. Not that they understand what I am saying or even care, right?

It seems, being a two year old, who is growing, still teething and refusing not to sleep, is par for the course. Am I correct in my thinking?

Terrible Two's is not fun! And!!, it does not matter how many books you read or try to put into practice, two year old twins will be and will do what two year old twins are going to do at this particular stage in their lives.

Anyway, Christmas morning, with all their presents being brought to our home by Daddy, we opened gifts up, had a little fun, then took showers, got dressed and headed off to one of our many local parks. So, we again, had Christmas in the Park. As you can see from photos, the girls had a lot of fun.

Thank you Lord Jesus for my twins and calming their hearts and minds. Please give my twins, and Mommy peace that passes all understanding.

Amen and Happy Birthday Jesus!!

Costco with the Twins

Daddy took twins "A&B" to Costco tonight to get some food items for Christmas next week.

Our twins just love their Daddy and Daddy loves taking them out, especially when Costco has a cart big enough for two babies. Too bad other retailers do not invest in a two seater cart. Life could be so much easier when taking babies out. I mean, then there is no need for the tandem stroller and having to put all the items you want in the stroller basket.

Yeah, I know, life can not be that simple. Right?

Oh well, our twins will not be in a stroller for ever... LOL



Have a blessed evening all my blogging friends!
