tupperware

I don't have much to write about today. Sam is still gone. G&G did not want to take a nap this afternoon (they eventually fell asleep though). But they went to bed for the night with no problems! They are so cute but boy they can be a handful at times. I love them so much and I am very happy that I am their mom!

I am having a Tupperware party this Friday. If you want to you can come, lol. But really if want to order something let know and I will get it from you (DO NOT buy anything for this website because I will not get credit for it).

sea

Well Sam is out to sea again. Well not really, let just say his ship is not in San Diego this week! I am home alone with G&G! Please pray for me to survive this week! So far things have been good. For the first time in a week they did not fight with me about nap time! It only took them 20 minutes to fall a sleep instead the the 1-2 hours it took last week!

mascara

A long with the markers I know have to hid my mascara. Yep Gilbert found a old thing of mascara that I thought I threw away and he managed to unscrew the wand and paint his face with it. Where was I when this happen . . . going to the bathroom! I use my makeup remover to remove the mascara from his hands and face (forehead, nose, & check) but I could not get it out of his hair. But as the day wore on it faded and when he had his bath tonight all of it came out.

Jeremy

Jeremy has been in Iraq now for One year! Just a little over two months until he is home!

In my shoes

Gwen put on my shoes today all by herself! She is so cute. She LOVES shoes!!!

19 months

G&G will be 19 months old this Saturday and we have entered into the mischief stage! Oh my goodness.

Gilbert will find any marker in the house. I swear he can smell them! I keep taking them away from him and he is able to find more. It is like he knows of this secret stash of them. Two days ago Gilbert found this orange permanent marker and drew on the stair case railing then drew a line down the whole length of the hallway wall (and bathroom door), which is about 8-10 feet in length, then on the wood entertainment center. Where was I when this was happening, I was on the computer! Luckily the Mr. Clean magic eraser took the marker off the wood and stairs case. But it did not work on the wall or door. I got out the Clorox bleach spray cleaner and it took it off! I can still see a very faint line in some spots but I am sure I can get it off and if I can't at least now I can paint over it without having to paint multiple coats. Pretty much Gilbert is testing his limits right now.

Gwenith loves to tease. Which is not to bad but it can get frustrating at times. She wants what ever Gilbert wants. She cries over everything. She seems to not know what she wants except she wants what ever Gilbert has. What ever Gilbert does she has to do it too.
Both of them love to strip right now and run around the house naked. They have has one or two accident where they have peed on the floor but usually they hold it. I still have not gotten Gwen in go in the potty (on yes, lol). Gilbert LOVES to sit on the potty. When he strips the first place he goes is to the potty.

I love both of them very much and I love being a mom but we are going to a rough patch right now. I hope this phase goes by really fast.

clothes

We went to Babies 'r' Us this evening and went on a mini shopping spree. I was so excited when I saw they has more twins onesies. They still had the "it you think I am cute you should see my twin" but like always they did not have them in Gwen and Gilbert size. They had the long sleeves "Double Trouble" marked down and to my surprise they has a 24 months in girls and since we have the grays (the boys style) one in 18 months and one 24 months. I figure Gilbert could now have Gwen's 24 months one and Gwen can now have the purple one!






They had new onesies that were "warning" double trouble" even though I really don't like the semi negative saying I thought it was funny (not cute) because they are now very adventurous and into everything I thought it was semi fitting for them. But I promise to you all they not that much trouble.




I was really, really, really excited to see these onesies. They are a positive saying! So I got them too. I am going to have them wear them tomorrow because they are so cute! Gwen fits fine in them but Gilbert's is a little big for them. It is funny how a just two pounds can make a difference in how cloths fit.






We went to Wal Mart too. We bought Gwen and Gilbert their Easter outfits! This picture just does not do them justice. I am getting really excited for Easter this year.

Park pictures

We love going to the park. Every Friday my ward has playtime. I really enjoy them. Not just because I get to talk to other moms I know, but I get to see Gwen and Gilbert interact with other kids. but also because I get to see them run and play!
