I am not sure why I think I should update only once a year! I found a half filled baby book and loved reading the sweet notes about oliver and sadie's achievements, which made me force myself to start up again. So here is what I remember, disney seems like a life time ago....since then we started school 5 days a week, started and stopped ballet, I turned 40, we spent thanksgiving on captiva (first time not in south carolina in 12yrs), had an amazing christmas filled with make-up and guns, oliver played on the little dribblers and we are feveriously trying to add an upstairs to accomodate these two very busy, funny almost 4 year olds!!
In the next couple of days I will try to remember some of the one-liners. At school, Mrs. Bruun, his teacher, did say Oliver asked if Jesus wore a diaper?

disney world. almost 3 years old.
wow. i am still trying to recover. i was surprised the characters did not walk around the park anymore, finding
a character was like winning the lottery. lots of chipendales {what child cares about them} donald duck was like lindsey lohan, everywhere. i felt like disney was a bunch of parties that you were not invited to, only to come in on the tail end of a parade down main street, where was that schedule ??? i wondered why adventure land was so empty. sadie was thrilled to see the last float{as i was running with her} a crab on the top of the float, she screams "ariel"...that was her highlight..wow..i thought, i suck at this.
i cried 2 times at the character breakfast, not my proudest moment..{it did get us fast passes on the safari} once because i thought we lost our place at the character breakfast. second, the table we were at was the worst, the characters kept leaving not making it to our table and minnie mouse left mid-way. wow. i have all these great photos of us my dad took when we were little, i was determined to get a character photo with my kids. i told the waiter the table next to us got two photos with the characters while we had none, "wow, i thought did that just come out of my mouth??" so with no camera, forgot it, my iphone took this photo, that is all i have to show for that day. probably for the best.

Sleep. Beds. To move them or not to move them. These are the things that keep me awake at night. How can I get my twins out of my bed, is it time to separate them? I worry about them missing one another. This honestly cannot go on. I never thought I would be the parent that would let their child sleep with them, pre-kids, I would be oh so quick to spout out my opinion, "you have to put an end to that, that is terrible habit." Karma is a bitch.
I have been tempted to buy the tackiest cars and princess bed. My luck the landfill plastic and cardboard they are made of would be untouched. I am so sleep deprived. ugh. I need someone to wave a wand.
I am getting cooking lessons tomorrow. I am excited, I just wish I could send someone else in my place, someone rested and positive. I am hopefully going to expand my dinner choices beyond chicken and mac and cheese. Someone said to me the other day, " well it's not good, if they eat mac and cheese everyday, they don't do they?" I shook my head feverishly, no.

Ok so I tweaked my neck on Friday at bootcamp...stupid, stupid. I cannot sleep because of it and this morning I awoke in so much pain, I could not talk. Matt, headed out the door to save others, leaving me with dirty diapers and two 15 months that both wanted to be held. Perfect. I need coffee. It is not easy to raise healthy kids. You are constantly asking yourself, if they are crying should I let them shake it off, ugh.... Today we had an outing to a store and they did good except I brought only one sippy cup and could not find the other Binky. I did bring food and as I crouched down with sweat dripping off my forehead I opened a bag of green bean snaps, thinking am I insane? This nice store filled with designer clothes and green cheese filled little hands? 
Every piece of clothing that I had on today, lots of outfits changes, like Cher, they all smelled sour. I know I have the luxury of a washing machine and not having to go down to the lake and use a wash board but it still sucks. I am constantly trying to stay "on top " of all the filth.
Sour clothes is worse than B.O. I can smell sour across the room, my nose instantly goes into 
over time to figure out who has an old towel at the gym. It was God's secret way of toturing me today.
Sour clothes and a bad neck, what more could you ask for?

I promised my sister, Nancy, that I would use this blog to record food details, crawling,
walking, talking etc..to help her with her adorable twins, Lila and Cooper, who are
six months behind O & S. So here it goes, they love mac and cheese, hot dogs, anything
with ketchup on it, grapes, salmon sticks (they stink the whole house up!) avocado, bread
and anything with cream cheese. My other sister, Maggie, bought the cookbook with
the recipes to hide veggies in food. I just made banana bread with cauliflower and they
LOVED it! Last night I made a quesadilla with shredded turkey breast, spinach and 
a jar of green beans and rice with lots of cheese. I broke down and put ketchup on it, they
gobbled it up.
It's lunch time again, more later!
