Two are two!

Yay look at me I'm posting twice in a year!

Lots has changed. We bought our first house, the boys now have a yard and no stairs! They are talking (kinda) but they clearly understand almost everything I say and respond a lot of time with either the appropriate physical or verbal response. We now have tiny potties in the hall bathroom for them to practice sitting on (not expecting anything to happen yet but it is a step in the right direction).

Having their birthdays at the end of November sucks! not only is it all packed in with holiday madness so a lot of people are out of town but shopping is hell. On top of all that the guys are really active and want to be outside and run around so a lot of their toys are meant for outside and yeah... cold and wet doesn't mix well with wanting to be outside. For instance we really want to get them tricycles but there really isn't any point for the next few months. Sure we don't get a whole lot of rain here but sure enough it has been raining a ton so far this year. And it gets dark so early that the only time I can take them both out on trikes would be the weekend or the one day a week my mom comes to help. SO LAME! Poor guys it makes it tempting to buy one of those tandem trikes. O well they are happy going crazy at the local playground on sunny days and wearing themselves out at bouncy-land on rainy days.

I have been having a hard time getting inspired to cook dinner. It is a combination of the boys constantly wining at the gate the whole time I'm in the kitchen and the fact that the kintchen is so ridiculously small and I have so much crap crammed in there. I guess I really need to pull everything out and lay it all out where I can see it and get rid of half of it. A pot rack would also help but the only place there is room for one is over the sink but that is where the light is... there is a lighted pot rack that i could buy but it hangs so low the pots would practically be in the sink. =( The other part that makes it hard to cook is that Matt is basically refusing anything with veggies (or flavor really) I think it is mainly a texture thing but who really wants to blend the hell out of everything till it is all just a nasty colored paste. esides, Will likes the variety so is he supposed to suffer because Matt has no tolerance? I guess it's time to go back to the cooking for toddlers cook book and not try to make them eat what we eat. SIGH

Looks like this blog is just turning into a place for me to complain huh? Sorry to anyone who reads it =) Maybe one of these days I'll figure out a way to post easily from my phone then it will stop sucking so badly. I just don't know how all those blogs I follow manage to be interesting and not sound whiny.

Well I have to go check on the veg lasagna from wholefoods that I'm reheating in the oven because we don't have a microwave (yep had to bitch a little more about the kitchen =))

See you in another 6 months or so...
