Yup, haven't blogged in a long time. For any newbie twin parents, um, enjoy age two. That is all
Halloween - we live in a spread out subdivision and people don't expect many kids. Hence, the girls came back with full sized candy bars, pre-made baggies full of candy, gear, frosty coupons....... insane. And all good stuff. Not a single thing even my eight-year old self, way back when, would have made an eye roll at. Guess the bit-o-honey days are over?
Three has not been the best age (hah, yup, out of all the ones we've gone through) I get even one kid can be tough, but, and forgive me, unless you've BTDT with multiple toddlers, don't assume one is just like two. 99% of what drives us crazy regards their interactions with each other.
Of course, with that in mind, I also have to remember the fun parts of having twins, as my little sister is fifteen weeks pregnant with her own set of double trouble. I'm not quite sure the whole "bond" and experience of being a twin, kind of neat both ours and hers will have twin cousins to share what it's like.
Have been dealing with a few things that honestly, hitting my head on a brick wall would cause less of a headache. Being between a rock and a hard place sucks.
Sleep, either due to the above post, or a combination of factors, is not happening much. I'd pay dearly for an actual 6-8 hour night of continuous sleep. (My deal, except for some random toddler wakings, they sleep fine)
You would think three decades of living in a state that sees a winter climate would have me somewhat adjusted. Um no, this thirty or below crap is just not for me. Early to be discussing it, but snow lost its usefulness once one is out of school and has no cancellations. Not to mention kids have it way easier with that today - instant notification. Come on, where's the fun of listening to the radio for hours since your district was way down on the alphabet scale.
