If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops....

We have 9 gumdrop pacifiers... 2 orange, 4 purple and 5 pink... God help us if we lose all of these! Kara has the 'drunk baby look' on her face right now, she is enjoying her pink pacifier. Kiley is having another little snack (one that I hope will keep her fed for an hour at least! They have been cluster feeding (eating every 30 minuets or more) at night lately and it makes for an exhausted and sore momma! Two babies= twice the feedings.It gets to be a lot sometimes...

We put Abby to bed at 8 tonight. She is completely worn out. In fact she has been quite a little terror... an amazingly cute one also at times... but exhausting too! I'm hoping that she isn't getting sick, I know that we were gone from our house for almost a week and all of the Christmas excitement probably wore her out... I have her alone with the babies tomorrow so I hope that she behaves... Her latest words? "Babies cry..." or "Oh no... babies cry..." :) My least favorite word she has picked up right now is "Don't!" She tends to use it when she doesnt want us doing something... like stopping her from taking all of the forks out of the silverware drawer or pouring water all over the floor...

She also picked up her cousin's name (who is about 1 month older then her) They had a lot of fun playing together and actually managed to avoid fighting a lot. Once in awhile they had toy fights but they enjoyed each other immensely otherwise. It IS possible she is going through a growth spurt, she is picking up words left and right. Grandma Jo was calling the others to supper saying "People....!" and Abby goes "People!!!" in her attempts to help Grandma get the people to the table so that she could eat. It was quite funny.

Kara has a very stuffy nose and Abby has a cough now... Kara is upset that she can't breathe out of her nose again. Argh... we just can't seem to beat this stuff! It keeps going round and round... oh the joys of having babies in the winter time. My 6 week postpartum appointment is Thursday morning. Our neighbor invited myself and the girls over for a little coffee time so I'm hoping that we can hang out there for a little while before we have to go to my appointment... I really miss having a 'social life' sometimes and talking to people in similar life 'positions.'

And if you hadn't already heard the "Twin Ninjas" (My fantasy football team) is now in the Championship Playoff game... I don't know how we managed to do so well considering I took a 3 week break after the babies were born, but it would be fun to win! I created the Team logo... I think it is pretty cute/funny!

And yes... why haven't I talked about this yet!? I keep meaning to but screaming babies tend to pull me away before I'm truly finished writing. Tom's aunt heard about a 12 days of Christmas contest going on at a radio station. So... she emailed in her wish for diapers for our twins and Abby. Well it turns out they decided they wanted to give us something even though we weren't one of the 12 days of Christmas wishes... so today when we got home and got the mail we found 2 giftcards that added up to 150 dollars! There was also talk of perhaps something else coming but for now we are just excited about the actual gift cards. That will help with diapers!! So THANK YOU!
