How can this be?

I cleaned the house from top to bottom. I mean it was CLEAN. Everything put away, vacuumed, dusted, laundry done...the whole deal. In the span of two short evening hours my twins managed to do this. I have nothing left to say. I will now let the pictures speak for themselves. Enjoy....

The Snail Whisperer

My little guy loves snails. He is your typical little boy..all dirt, bugs, and snails. I fondly refer to him as "The Snail Whisperer". I think that is hysterical. He, of course, has no idea what I am talking about.

Anyhow...we have a NO SNAIL rule in the house. And I thought this was actually one rule that was followed. Unfortunately today I found out that is certainly not the case.

After deciding to do a bit of deep cleaning in the kids rooms...I pulled out a bin from under my little boys bed. Amid what must be 400 lego pieces were literally 30 snails. Some dried up. Some not. Some wishing they were. After fighting an urge to run screaming from the room I gathered the bin, closed my eyes, and practically fell down the stairs trying to get this snail death box out of my house.

After a firm discussion with my little culprit we went back upstairs where he showed me two more hiding spots for his "pets". Luckily, these looked a little better and we released them to "go find their mommies".

Ahhh...little boys. Never a dull moment.

Juicy Couture Maclaren Stroller!

I am the first to admit I have a stroller problem. I need to go to "strollers anonymous". I need help. I am not kidding.

I have an unnatural obsession with strollers. Recently, I decided I needed another one. Took a quick trip to a local kiddie store to try some out. I found a nice Maclaren and decided I would look online for more color options.

It was then that I found THIS....




Yes ladies...you are seeing this correctly. (I know...it's hard to see though the tears of sheer joy.) A Juicy Couture Maclaren Stroller. And for the bargain price of only $450.00. I mean hey, it's an umbrella stroller. I am sure it cost them at least $25 to make it?!

Lets take another look....(BTW that foot muff in the last pic is an extra $125)



But here is where my "disease" kicks in. I really want it. It is calling my name. Yes, my little girl is already 4 and sits in a stroller about 5 minutes a month...but its pink AND brown! Besides the fact...what in the heck do I do with my other twin...let him walk? And of course the most obvious issue is the stroller is $450. For an umbrella stroller. Enough said.

So as common sense kicks in I am saddened. This lovely stroller is not meant to join my vast stroller collection. But I'm telling you right now...if they ever do a twin model I am all over it ;)

BTW if anyone ever actually buys one of these please let me know so I can live vicariously through you.

High School Reunion

The time has come. I open my email and look to see the dreaded words..."OHS REUNION". Sent to me by some still overly peppy classmate who seems to think this is going to be the greatest event of her lifetime.

I have to admit there was a glimmer of excitement in me. It passed quickly...but it was there. It happened before I realized that this body had twins.

As my thoughts began to wander I started thinking of plastic surgery. A little lift here, a little "puff" up there. "Why did I tan so much in my teens?"

After spending about $100,000 in my mind on my imaginary plastic surgeries I realized I may come out looking like this....





And I thought better of it.


Now don't get me wrong. I am not against a good nip and tuck...or even an implant here and there. But for this reunion I am going just as me. And you know what? Maybe that's not so bad.
