Poo Shoes

I picked up the kids from daycare and dreaded hearing what they did that day. There's always a story with the two of them.  SURPRISE, nothing out of the ordinary.  E screams like a girl and C throws things and plays in water and thinks its hilarious.  I was hoping for an uneventful night, but with these two , no way.

As Im cooking dinner (spaghetti squash with roasted zucchini and broccoli) I hear giggling from the other room. As cute as it is and as much as it makes me smile, its never good.

Let me back track. A few weeks ago, we bought the kids some shoes.  They are in size 4 (which we had none) and they actually kept them on.  We headed to Payless (Im cheap and they will grow to fast to buy expensive ones) and found these CUUUUTE shoes for E.

I was so excited to find them (for $5 mind you) I had to get them.  Perfect summer shoes for a little girl, right?

Fast forward to last night.  I walk in the living room and they are both on the couch falling over laughing historically.  I look closer, she has her shoe in her mouth.  This does not seem like a big deal.  She chews, says mmmm then laughs..

Chew
Yummmmm
Giggle

Thats when I noticed a dark something on the bottom. Can you tell where Im going with this?  Thats right, you guessed it. She had POO stuck in the botton of her shoe.  POO that she was CHEWING on and saying YUMMMMMM.

Gross
Yuck
EWW

Bath time it was.

And end with this:



Some days I wish it would make up its mind and be like this:

Getting Older

Ive come to realize that I am getting older.  I used to party till 4AM and pull a double shift at the bar with little to no sleep for weeks at a time.  This weekend showed me once again how my life has changed in the last few years.  Friday night consisted of playing with the kids, renting a movie and in bed by 10. Yes, 10  Saturday morning I woke up put ribs in the crock pot, very excited about this, and loaded up the car for a visit to Central Market.  Never did I ever think that I would get excited about produce, bread, and cheese, but here I am.  Sunday morning, where I would have formally drank a beer to ease my hang over, I settled for a morning of making waffles, drinking coffee, and clipping coupons.  It is very tame, and lame to some people, but it suits me just fine.

Caving and Joining the Blog World

So I have decided to start this blog to write down the randomness of my life.  I have boy/girl twins, Elyse and Cole, that are 17 months old and keep us very busy.  With all the running around trying to keep up with the two of them, I am also training for a half marathon.  Im hoping that I can share my stories and make someone smile daily (or as often as I can update)

Let me introduce you to my world

Elyse

Cole
