Miscellaneous

Today is the 3rd day in a row that at least one, if not both, of the girls hasn't/haven't napped.  I'm not particularly liking this tread.  There was a phase about a year ago where Kayley would not nap maybe 2 days a week, then for the last several months she's been great.  Then a couple months ago Olivia started skipping the occasional nap.  But neither of them ever missed two days in a row.  Now we're going on three days for Kayley and two out of three for Olivia.  Not good.  I'm scared to think this might really be the end of naps.  Ugh.

In other news, we've stepped up the potty training.  We've started issuing stickers on a chart on the fridge every time they go.  It seems to be helping a bit.  I just really need to be more consistent about taking them to the bathroom at least every hour, but it's so hard when you're either out and about or just busy around the house.

This weekend we're taking one last trip to Crescent Bar with some friends.  It should be really fun.  One last chance to enjoy some summer weather and the pool.  We'll also be watching the Seahawk game which I'm really excited about.  They'll probaly lose but it'll still be fun to watch with our friends and good game-watching food.  Go Hawks!

Do your girls share a room? I don't have any experience with this myself, but I know of a couple of fellow twin / triplet moms who have separated their children for naps once they got a little older (2.5 - 3 years). I think the kiddos were having too much fun to want to nap during the day, and being together just kept them wound up. :)

If you're interested, I can forward you links to their blogs...just let me know.

Take care, and I hope you have a fantastic weekend away!

I actually do seperate them for naps (they share a room fine for nighttime), but when one is up running around, playing, talking loud, etc. it's hard for the other to nap regardless.

Luther Burbank Park

Last summer a friend of mine introduced me to this cool park on Mercer Island.  When we went, we only played at the swimming beach and never explored the rest of the park or played on the playground.  So yesterday, we finally went back with a picnic lunch and checked out some more of the park (there's still another section we didn't get to, so maybe next time).  The playground was really cool with all sorts of nooks and cranies, and old-fashioned metal slides and ladders.  They girls loved it. View from our picnic spot A pyramid with slides on the other side Lake Washington beyond Chair swings--never seen these before I-90 bridge over Lake Washington Trail along the lake leading to the swimming beach Should have brought swimsuits.  They were SO sandy and wet coming home.

First Day of 10th Grade

 Today was the first day of 10th grade for the girls.  Sophomores.  I can't believe we only have two more of these.  Not counting college, of course. Kayley Kayley again Olivia It has become my tradition to take the day before and the first day off.  Back in the elementary days, the day before the first day was "meet the teacher day", so I would always take them to that, then in middle school we would just go to lunch or get our nails done.  Last year was their first day of high school, though, so that day was orientation and that brings us up to this year.  The day before the first day is "Wildcat Day", which is mostly a freshman and new student orientation.  Olivia is in ASB so she had to go help with that, but Kayley didn't go.  Instead, her and I took some of her old clothes to this resale store called Plato's Closet to try and sell them (it's similar to a consignment shop except they just pay you then and there and then resell them, instead of o

A Day in My Life

  It's time once again for the Multiples and More Question of the Week:  A Day in Your Life. What is your schedule like? Do you work outside the home or stay home with the kids?   I am very blessed to be a SAHM.  Our schedule looks something like this: The girls get up anywhere between 7:20 and 8:20, but usually around 8:00.  Lately I've been letting them watch an episode of Dora so I can get on the computer and check email, Facebook, etc.  Otherwise they just play for an hour or so and then we have breakfast. By the time we're done with breakfast (fixing, eating and cleaning up) it's usually between 9:30 and 10:00.  We get dressed, and then we go wherever we're going that day (errands, park, playdate, etc.).  If it's a stay home day, I'll usually do a DVD workout while they just play upstairs and then we'll go for a walk or play outside after. Lunch is anywhere between 12:00 and 1:00, and nap is 1:30 or 2:00 to 4:00 or 4:30. After their nap
