Maddy the entertainer

As the twins get older, Maddy is getting better and better at both helping out and also playing by herself. Mom and dad need all the help they can get these days. The twins (sorry I should really be calling them by their names) are doing well but still not the best sleepers at night. They can laugh for hours and they are fun to play with.

I get a laugh out of this video every time. Maybe it's just me.

Maddy decides she is going to sing us a song while Mom bottle feeds both girls (at the same time I should add for those who haven't seen her in action). So here is how she does it:

Step 1: Countdown. Instead of counting backwards from 5 or 3, she counts upwards to four and adds a "BLAST OFF" for good measure.

Step 2: Rock back and forth like you have to pee. Really, you are just bopping to the music. (you should see her do the head bop to dad's music)

Step 3: Start singing "Dina won't you blow your horn" but really you mean to sing "I 've Been Working On The Rail Road" instead.

Step 4: Just sing both songs together and see what happens.

Step 5: Stop! Immediately run away and do a lap around the kitchen.

Step 6: Repeat step 5 if desired. And she does....

Meanwhile Zoe and Ava try to eat kleenex and wonder what the hell that crazy big girl is doing now.




For those that were going to ask: Zoe is on the floor and Ava is with Char.

Please keep sending me comments as I wonder if anyone is reading me anymore....

Summer Update

Well we have moved in to the new house and done a few changes. We had the main floor and 2nd floor completly repainted and did new flooring which included, tile, lino and carpet. We are very happy with how everything turned out. The house looks great and we are loving the new area. The parks are pretty amazing. However, I do miss the fact that we don't really have a close 'corner store'.

The twins are growing fast and cute as ever. They haven't slept well for the past couple of months but they are so easy going in the day, it is hard to fault them. No crawling yet but they sit and watch the world (and big sister) go by.

Speaking of big sister, Maddy is also doing well and having a fun summer. As you can see from the video, she has a blast at the beach and loves going to the parks back home too.

The heat has been pretty insane the past month so I am enjoying the cranked up A/C. We should enjoy it because soon we will complain about the snow and the cold. Take care everyone and try to enjoy what is left with the summer.
