So it turns out this twin thing?
Kinda hard.
It feels like someone is ALWAYS crying. I go to soothe one, and the other one starts. The one I'm holding stops and I find myself thinking, why is there still crying? Oh, because there's ANOTHER BABY!
Sorry other baby.
I wonder what this does to them? I feel bad. I'm doing the best I can. Honest! Is this just de rigeur for twins? I only have so many arms.
In other news, Leo graduated first grade.
Here he is on the last day of school. He LOVED taking the bus home. For most of his young life he's been a daycare guy, taking the bus to aftercare while I'm at work. In fact, he's NEVER taken the bus home. His first words after departing from the bus: "Leo takes the bus home!" He has a few days off before starting summer school on Tuesday.
Ellie in turn, is loving her new part-time pre-school status. She also enjoys waiting for Leo's bus in the afternoons.
The big kids continue to be very affectionate with the babies. Which is nice. But the biggest hurdle is getting them to leave the babies alone when they are sleeping (the whole big kids with the babies is a whole post in itself and I promise it's forthcoming). Seriously, this bothering the sleeping babies is mind numbing. They always seem to want to pay the babies the most attention when they are out cold. Sigh.
It is so fitting that there is laundry in this picture. Laundry is my fifth baby, I swear.
OK, that's the best I can do right now. Leo is beating up the dog. Ellie is having a juice box crisis. Back soon.
In the meantime I give you
and
AKA Chins.

I hear this is typical. My sister said its a wonder she didnt loose her mind. They were stationed in Alaska and had my mom stay with them a month or longer, then my sister for a month, hired a homeschooled teen aged girl that came until they were stationed in Tx. (I think the girls were three by then)you definitely have your hands full. The babes are beautiful.
Help is on the way!
Did your help arrive? My step mom called these the dark days. What's a couple months without sleep, right? Hope they start behaving themselves!
