singles weekend

no, no, i didn't get sent on a singles cruise!!! LOL this weekend is a rare weekend when we only have 1 kid! having twins is great but there are definitely days when i wish i could spend more time one-on-one with them.

i had the grand idea that the kids & i would go spend the weekend up at grandma's house. that went over great with timmy but not so much with vicki. she was INSISTENT that she wanted to spend the weekend relaxing at home. so off timmy went to grandma & grandpa's for the weekend! last i'd heard, he'd gotten a hair cut, purchased all his school supplies, gone swimming & had a cheeseburger for a bedtime snack. sounds good, right?

 

 

(i don't know why i think this picture is HILARIOUS!!)

 

 

so vicki & i have been hanging out, just the 2 of us. we stayed up late last night, didn't eat dinner (except for a few oreos), hung out with a fun friend this morning & spent a couple hours at the pool. i THINK she misses her brother a little bit. maybe.

 

 

for those parents out there that only had 1 baby at a time... count your blessings!! =) being a parent is HARD WORK no matter how many kids you have, we all know that, but it's still fun for a mom of multiples to get a "break" every now & then!





4th of July... with twins

any holiday is extra fun (double the trouble AND double the fun, right??) when you have kids but i think having twins makes it even better. that's just my personal opinion & it probably doesn't actually count for anything but this is MY blog, after all. LOL our twins are really close & since they're in the same grade at school, they have a lot of the same friends. this makes local outings, like to the 4th of july festivities in silver city super fun!

i have learned over the last 2 years that i love, love, love living in a small town. everywhere we go, we run into people that we know.... & if you make plans to meet up with people you know, you're bound to run into a few extras as well & that just makes the party even better! this is a pic of all the kids gathered together for the 4th of july parade last week...

 

 

i think that might even be only a few of the kids from the group we were with. =) i am constantly busy, on the go, running errands, buying something for these crazy 2 of mine, taking them somewhere & all kinds of other things... but they really do make my days better. & i hope i'm doing the best that i can to make theirs better too.
