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.

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 ...

A Very Belated 2023 Recap

I guess I took a bit of a blogging break.  I only blogged three times last year and this will be my first post so far this year.  I just haven’t been in the mood but now suddenly I am.  We’ll see how long it lasts. Where to even begin?  A lot has happened since I last blogged.  The girls are about to turn 16, have jobs and are on the verge of getting their driver’s licenses.  We took an amazing trip to Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell and Las Vegas last summer.  We celebrated our 17th anniversary and are closing in on our 18th.  We attended some great concerts, did some fun hikes and have had lots of fun date nights, game nights and girl’s/guy’s nights out.  Ok, I guess that’s not all that much but whatever.  So, I guess to start off my 2024 blogging, I will recap 2023: I turned 54 in January. For President's Day weekend we went to Crescent Bar and from there Paul and Kayley went skiing at Mission Ridge and...

Show Us Your Life - Dining Rooms

It's time for this week's Show Us Your Life, brought to you by Kelly's Korner , and this week it's dining rooms. We have a very open floorplan, so when you walk in our front door the dining room is to the right and the living room to the left, with the fireplace straight ahead.  It's basically all one big room.     I bought the table and sideboard at Dania when I bought my first condo back in 2002.  It looked great in that condo, but for this house I wish I had black dining room furniture.  The table and sideboard are the same color as the trim, and then with the white walls (although we finally got one wall painted) it's just so blah.  And like most other rooms in the house, we have yet to hang curtains (not that we're going to hang them in every room, but we have yet to hang any). Looking in from the kitchen.  Need curtains! Looking in from the living room.  Notice the plastic protector underneath, for when the kids throw their sp...
