I knew it would happen. I knew eventually I would have to let the kids choose their own Halloween costumes. I was hoping I could get away with one more year of parental control. Alas, I had to give it up once they noticed me shopping online without them. (Damn, my window-hiding mouse finger just [...]

Twins. People. Stupid.
Over at Parenting today: Twins Make People Stupid. (I know… clever title.)
This is moi sharing with vous some of the funny (okay, stupid) things people have said to us… Like asking if our boy/girl twins are identical. If you don’t know why that is funny (or stupid), you might want to go over and read. [...]

Scene From A Car Ride
As the kids climb into the car after school today, Buddy spots a toy (courtesy of a Happy Meal, thank you very much) that he left in his carseat this morning.
Buddy: Hey look, there’s my toy!
Me: Okay, you can play with it for a little while, and then you have to share it with [...]

Gratuitous Pics
Some pictures of the twins since moving here (mostly contributed by Awesome SIL. I’m surrounded by great SILs, I know):
*edited to remove most pictures to fend off creepiness
At Dad’s office:
When Bean first started talking, she would say, “I wub” instead of “I love.”
Bean & Buddy: I wub.

Speaking of SILs, FingKASIL’s birthday was yesterday. Happy Birthday [...]

Fat-Bottomed Kids
Today’s post topic at Parenting: my heavier-than-normal kids. Yes folks, according to the pediatrician, the twins are officially not skinny.
Silly? Yeah, I think so. I mean, we’re not entering them in any boxing matches. Nor are they in training to be the next Kobayashi (next year Kobayashi, next year!). But at three-years-old, I guess their [...]

Over here today. To supplement my Dear AC post (obviously still on my mind) I wrote about the differences in all of us and, more importantly (to me anyway) how this subject pertains to our twins. I know… I don’t tend to let go of things easily. I’m a begrudging, petty kind of person, [...]

My Twinfamy Harlot
It’s Thursday, which means it’s almost the end of the week, which also means I’m over at The Parenting Post today.
In honor of Father’s Day, I wrote a little something for and about G and his desperate desire for twin-attention. Yes, folks—he’s an attention whore. So this week baby, it’s all about you. You turn [...]

Wax On Wax Dull
My latest favorite line from The 40-Year-Old Virgin (because yes, I’ve watched it that many times—you gotta problem with that?):
“I like your sweater. Does that come in a v-neck?”
(My previous favorite line was: “You look like a man o’ lantern.”)
Here’s the scene, but if you don’t like immature and stupid humor with a large dose [...]

I’ve Been Watching Too Much Law & Order
Speaking of phobias, I have a very unhealthy phobia of kidnappers and ped*philes as I’m sure, everyone does. This phobia affects me to the point where I can’t sleep at night. And according to Oprah and The Secret, I am only going to draw these criminals right to us which makes me even more paranoid. [...]

Kickass
Now that we’re (sort of) settling in, I am dedicating myself to getting my shit together and using my brain on things other than boxes and rearranging furniture and getting through to do lists. To start: this is a delayed response to everyone who has been commenting—thank you! I love seeing old and new commenters [...]
