Good day

Today has been a pretty good day, I have to admit. Sadly a good day to me usually consists of some unscheduled drama taking place that takes up all my free time and makes the day go by really quickly and makes the weekend just that little bit closer.

Today after the girls had finished their lunch I gave them each a strawberry fruit stick to chew on, something I bought thinking it would be a great snack to take with us when we are out of the house and they are getting bored....but now I know better. You would not believe the mess. We're talking sticky, gooey (which quickly turn crunchy) strawberry goodness from head to toe.
Somehow Alex even managed to get hers into the back of her hair.

Obviously this was an emergency bath kinda situation.
One thing that I still havent figured out how to do with the girls is wash their hair when they're both in the bath together, so we had to settle for a wipe down with the flannel instead. It probably only diluted the stickyness but its better then nothing.
As soon as they were done in the bath I threw a diaper on Alex and let her crawl away and lay Jess down to do hers. But they ganged up on me. Jess rolled over to grab something and in that second Alex reached over and took off with the diaper which Jess had been lying on. Secretly I thought that was hilarious and was a little proud of my mischievous little monsters.

Finally after the last nap time of the day the girls invented a kind of copying game that managed to amuse them until their dad got home. They found the trays from the high chairs (which I had discarded on the hallway floor while I tried to get them in the bath earlier) and climbed onto one each, then swapped and sat on the other one. Next it was scoot your tray across the floor and when you get to the end sit on it for a sec. Then switch trays again.They did this for about an hour. So we had a fun time and now I miss them because they're in bed.

Fat mama

I have to confess to not having read anyones blogs/emails for ages, well about a week. Things have gone crazy around here. My kids have learnt to bite! The T-man has been working like crazy and its only going to get worse. There are alot of interstate trips coming up for him. Oh and I got fat!!! No, I'm not talking big and pregnant. I mean FAT. I grew a whole new chin, apparently the first one got lonely and needed a friend. It occurs to me that this KFC habit I've picked up, thanks to baby girl three, may have something to do with it.

So those are just a few of my excuses for being down and unenthusiastic (spelling?) lately. So in order to cheer myself up a little and do a bit of showing off of my lovely girls, here come the pics!

(Oh, and I promise, no more exclamation marks). Ah, yes. I drop food. I drop food I just spent 1/2 hour preparing. Luckily
I stained our ugly coffee table so the T-man said we could get a new one in
October (Birthday). Unfortunately I also ruined our new carpet.

Just to prove how un-fun I am atm.
I am avoiding side shots at all cost in an effort to hide the chin.

Today is the girls 13month birthday. So I thought I'd take a stroll down memory lane.
Me and Chelsee getting huge together.

One month ago today, man they were small. And don't you love Jess's enormous diaper?
Today, a year later.
Alex. Total stunner. I think she gets it from her dad.
Jess. Looking as innocent as ever. Trust me, if you looked up the word gremlin in the dictionary, this is the picture that would be next to it.
But every gremlin has her weak spot. For this one its her baby doll.
Our hero. T-man must feel like a celebrity when he comes home to a reception like this.

Well I'm gonna crawl off to bed now and try to be a bit more enthusistic tomorrow.
