September 27

It's been a rough couple of days. I don't know why but the twins really need a nap but they do everything in their power to avoid naps. I wouldn't mind if they went to bed easily at night but its a battle every night. I get so tired of fighting them to go to bed. On the weekends its not a big deal as I can turn the television on in the living room and they can stay out with their dad until they get tired but during the week its a huge deal. I really need my 8-10 hours of sleep or I don't function well at all.

I had a migrane headache yesterday. Lucky for me the boys took pity on me and took it easy until dad came home. Noah kept asking if I was "o-tay" and patting my head. Nothing makes you feel better than your two year old getting himself into the perfect position to look you right in the eye, stick his fingers up your nose with one hand, and with the other patting your head while asking if your o-tay.

God bless our neighbors in the back. My boys love these two ladies to death and they are just angels with the boys. I'm not sure what problems they have but I think they are developmentaly delayed in some ways but they are just the sweetest ladies. They love the boys as much as the boys love them. They are constantly bringing treats for the boys and just love to listen to them talk and play. A couple of weeks ago they asked if they could take the boys to the park and I really wasn't sure so I went with them, the park is across the street from their house, but now I feel quite comfortable with them taking the boys. The boys listen very well for them and those two ladies are constantly looking out for the boys. We are truly blessed to have such sweet ladies living behind us.

The kids didn't go to sleep until after 1 a.m. last night. I'm not sure what time they fell asleep as I fell asleep before they did. I made them get up early this morning and they weren't too happy but thats what they get. No naps yet today, I am hoping they will go to bed early but its 8:15 p.m. and they are still running around.

For our workout today instead of going to the pool and gym we walked the path that I plan on walking during the week. Zachary walked the whole way but was so so slow. We let the boys play at the park and then went to the library where they acted like uncontrolled kids. Honestly I should not take the boys there anymore unless its just one of them. They love picking out videos and books but its too stressful with all three of them. We took them to Pace's for lunch so Nathan could have his favorite food- CORNDOGS.

I really need to get serious on the diet again. I'd really like to lose 25 lbs before the end of July.

Got this from a board I read on and found it interesting so I'm posting it here. I checked the book out from the library today and I am loving it. I think I may have to buy my own copy of the book.
Time has a really interesting photo essay showing what typical families around the world eat for a week... as well as the cost of food. I'm shocked by how much so many families spend on food... and in countries where I don't think the salaries are comparable to the U.S. I'm also shocked by how few fruits and veggies one sees in many of the pictures! You can see Coca-Cola in almost every one (except the rural families)... and Kellogg's cereal.

Friday March 9 2007

The boys slept late today but I was up at the normal time today. I did get the twins to take a nap this afternoon. However we never got out of our pj's. The weather was sort of iffy but they did spend some time outside playing and I did get some really cute pictures of the boys from outside.

Wow what a day! The twins have decided they don't need naps although they can't quite make it through the day without one. They sure can be cranky when they haven't had a nap.

The day was nice enough that the kids went outside to play. All three of them played without fighting. They really enjoyed digging in the dirt hole we made them last year. Even Tanner, the dog, helped with the digging. I really wish the weather would get nice and stay nice so the boys can play outside most of the day.

The Backyardigans Yeti episode was on today and the boys really love that one. The run around yelling "Yeti, Yeti, Yeti" for hours after watching it.

We were going to take the boys to the grocery store yesterday but with them missing their naps I didn't want to deal with crankiness at the store. Good thing we didn't as they took a nap while I was at the store.

We had a few troubles getting them to sleep but mostly I think the problem was because they had such a late nap.
