Saturdays On The Go

Today we ran a bunch of errands. The kids had a blast playing in the store. Elaine loved watching me hula hoop in the toy department and played around with a softball glove. I told her that she has to wait until 18 to join the Cincinnati Sports League.

After our errands, we had some extra time before meeting Timmy & Melissa for dinner, so we poked around Trader Joe's. Ethan was very fond of the BBQ chicken free samples!

Our First Pizza

Tonight we met up with Melissa and Timmy for dinner at Dewey's Pizza. The kids enjoyed their first pizza (cheese). Elaine was interested in adding goat cheese and sundried tomatoes while she was scanning the menu, but Ethan wanted nothing to do with that "fancy stuff".

"Snow Day" day 3

By now I've completely come down with "Cabin Fever". When Patrick came home tonight I made him take us to dinner. I just couldn't stay in the house another minute! The kids had a blast eating grilled cheese, a few bites of fries, and a little taste of a freshly baked cookie. Ethan especially like watching all the people. It took him a while to figure out there was food in front of him because he was turned around watching the ladies behind him eat.

"Snow Day" day 2

Yesterday and today we had "snow days". Yesterday the kids and I had a blast. It was really nice to spend some one-on-one time with them. It's amazing how quickly they are growing up!

By today though, we are starting to get restless! Most of the roads have not been plowed yet so going anywhere is not an option. We are starting to go a little crazy.

At least the kids are really starting to play on their own. Elaine has even figured out how to start her Elmo.....of course it looks like she is trying to restart his heart rather than tickling him! :)

You Can't Beat the Comfort Food

Tonight the babies tried their Nonie's favorite meal....MEATLOAF! They gobbled down meatloaf, mashed potatoes, peas, and carrots.

Our Favorite Time of the Day

Bath time is the twins' favorite time of the day. They especially love to watch it fill up with water. In what other time is chuncky rolls on your thighs considered cute!!!!

Some Like It Tart

This weekend, my parents came down to watch the babies so we could go out to celebrate a birthday with some friends. Sunday morning Patrick made pancakes with fresh blueberries! Elaine loved them, but Ethan picked out the blueberries. He is not much of a tart/sweets fan.

PS....Ethan, How old are you going to be next month?.............................

CORRECT! ONE YEAR OLD...YEAH!

Juiceaholic

Elaine LOVES her juice! This is a common site with her. Lately she tries to double fist it and then she kicks her head all the way back while chugging the juice as fast as she can! She will be very popular in college!! LOL

Happy Birthday Eddie!

Today was the twins' first BIRTHDAY party!! Their friend Eddie, from daycare, turned one. Bev, the kids' sitter was there with an open arm to help me. I was by myself because Patrick was stuck at home finishing up laying tile in the basement.

Eddie was happy, but had no clue what all the fuss was about! It made me very excited to celebrate the twins' first birthday next month.

Starting to get Mobile

Ethan and Elaine are starting to get a little more mobile. Here is a quick movie of Ethan with his walker cruzing across the living room floor.

Who Needs to Walk?

Ethan's not the only one that likes the push wagon. In true Elaine style, however, she can't be bothered with working up a sweat by walking. She prefers to stand and pose for the camera.
