$.97 cent Pocket T's

so today after swim lessons we wandered around a little due to having to keep dylan out of the sun...(antibiotics)... and we bumped into .97 cent pocket T's at the Gap downtown los gatos. AWESOME... they are five years and under, but Nolan definitely needed some T's...

good deal. they have chocolate, light blue, navy, white, and brownish white. they also had the basketball shorts for .97 cents.

i thought they were $1.99, but he checked and they were .97 cents.

Check your local Gap. Can't pass this deal up.

webkinz on hold twins on the run?@$*&@^%

so i'm just documenting today on my blog...just because...

so after dylan's swim lessons we went to run some errands together one mommy plus three. all was going well the babies fell asleep for their first nap and so i was able to find a nice card for my honey at hallmark (we have an anniversary coming up). in any case, the twins were asleep and dylan was checking out beloved "webkinz". i picked out a card and then a lady at hallmark says right in my daughters face who is asleep "are they twins"? "yes" i replied quietly. "o' they are so cute...wow they are both asleep...o'close your eyes honey it's okay...looks like she's awake now...and keeps looking at her..."

...okay anyone whose had kids knows they go in and out asleep...best not to notice if they open eyes slightly...thanks to the woman at hallmark i have one awake now...

i'm departing hallmark and another lady says to me, "by the way i just wanted to tell you that your older son asked me to put this one "turtle" webkinz on hold until his birthday on september 22nd..." HILARIOUS!!! dylan is so funny sometimes. "thanks for letting me know" (with a chuckle) i reply and move on.

things are going good i take dylan to a special store walking distance nearby and get a jamba juice with him.

we go to the next place we need to go and i decide it's time to teach nolan and taryn to hold onto the stroller and walk with me. (what was i thinking...who am i kidding i am not supermom) so i take both of them out and they don't move very fast (thankfully), but they are just curious and doing there thing in two different directions. so i try to teach them to hold on and push the stroller. okay i have one on...turn my back to get the second and the one takes off with the stroller and dylan is just laughing so hard because they never usually move that fast... what is my deal, i could of prevented all that by locking the wheels...duh... anyway so i get the second and then the first and back and forth for like what seemed to be ten minutes...and then the heavens sang because i finally got two on the back helping me push the stroller!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEAH....

btw: dylan got so tired of waiting for us to get on the ball that he sat in the stroller, which must of looked really funny, but actually helped slow the stroller down.

okay the end

Life with Two + one

okay remember awhile back i did a post on taking the twins to the pool and what a breeze it was... well now the twins are almost 15 months and not such a breeze anymore. at the pool since it's just me i have to keep the babies in the pool and i have to be super consistent. i will not be chasing two kids around the pool deck! every day is a CRAZY day for me. the twins have decided to assert their wills and i know it's all about consistency, but if anyone is reading this that has twins knows it is NOT easy once they hit a certain age. every time i turn around someone is into something...just imagine your one at this age + one more, it's wild! i pray every day for wisdom and grace with the kids, but two has definitely become a challenge lately. we have very funny times now as you can see below.

i've heard every family has a goof ball and ours is hands down, nolan...he is just funny...
nolan can not be seen without his beads on. after a bath he goes straight for them as if they are an essential to his outfit, which he is lacking

rambo style

then there is our trip to costco. when i looked down taryn had her arm around nolan's shoulder, just happened to have my camera...so cute...

any advice from moms of more than one is welcome...
