J had been promising for weeks to take the boys to a Mariners game and had tickets for Saturday, but then he threw his back out Friday.  The boys were so looking forward to going, so I took them.

the last few days have been been strangely good, everyone to sleep no later than 9 the last several nights, I'm getting a good 4-5 hours interrupted myself, & now all 3 girls are taking naps now that I've gotten the boys to the bus.  What's up with that?

it's slightly awkward to be nursing the twins with two young boys in the house. I'm not really one for hiding from life's mammalian realities, but managing their curiosity versus what seems to be a slightly prurient interest is amusing to say the least ( Read more... )

I honestly would have no idea what day it was if this computer didn't say so right in the corner there. although I do know that the boys will be going back to school mid-week, they have new clothes and I got them washed in time ( Read more... )
