Ahh, a day in the life.....

Ok, our life is absolutely crazy. Nuts I tell you, just nuts. I keep telling myself that we are inspiring two young scientists to be curious and test theories of gravity, etc., etc., etc...let me paint you the picture of a typical week for us.

Day 1: Cache sticks two peas up his nose and thinks it is so funny. "Mama, I pea in nose!" he says with pride. Come to find out, Asher has three stuck up his nose too; two in the left nostril and one in the right. (We have had two ER visits, two doctor visits, and one very frantic visit to Daddy's office to extract food from the boys' tiny nostrils.)

Day 2: We are in the middle of potty training so clothes right now are optional at our house. Asher streaks the front yard to "Pee on tree, Mama. I pee on tree!" without my consent. I know our neighbors get a nice laugh out of me running and screaming, "Asher, get back here! Put your clothes on!" All the while, Asher is running and laughing with pure delight.

Day 3: Can it get worse it is only Wednesday?? NEVER ask that question, because yes, it can always get worse. Cache is on nap strike and paints with poop. Yep, this happens at least once a week. Going pee-pee in the potty has been mastered by the boys, but going poop has not.

Day 4: It is so hot outside we stay inside all day. Soooo, Cache falls off the bed and knocks himself out. We visit the ER. Luckily, his head is the hardest part!

Day 5: Bye Bye Garbage truck!! Yes, Asher and Cache flushed their favorite garbage truck down the toilet. They loved it! They thought it was so funny.

Do I need to go on? Yes, this is a typical week.

Cache - the ornery and fast monkey

We put the boys to bed like usual, kissed them good night, and said our "I love yous" and sat back to relax. Then we heard rustling in the boys' room like scampering mice. Casey opened the door and almost fell over at what he saw. Cache used the drawers on their dresser as stairs and climbed up to try to get to the air filter. All of this happened within a matter of minutes.



Here's Asher during all the ruckus....

No more diapers - Elmo, Choo-Choo, Mickey, and Mater pants!!!!!!

Yep, you read that right. We are no longer in diapers. After months of fickle interest in the potty, they declared three weeks ago, they were not going to wear diapers. It has been more challenging than I expected (but everything with these guys has been) because we have been shuttling parents around and running all over the state, but they are doing great! It just takes us a little longer because we need to make a few stops to the potty.



Asher still checks Cache for poop! Ask me sometime about Asher checking a random lady for poop - I still have nightmares about it!

Hold you Bubba!!

There are days that I wonder if the kids even like each other, much less love each other. Yesterday they couldn't get enough snuggle time!



So stinking cute! Seriously, does it get any cuter??

Fruits, or vegetables, of our labor

It has been a great but crazy summer. I can't believe it is almost gone! We have lots of irons in fire with family and work so the summer has gone on with out us. Our garden has definately been a labor of love and sweat. I always enjoyed gardening with my daddy when I was a kid, and it turns out that Asher and Cache love it too! They get a little aggressive when pulling weeds, so I have to keep one eye on them when they are close to the garden.







I love that the boys get so excited to eat what they pull out of the garden; spinach, lettuce, carrots. Most everyone knows that I am all about natural, healthy foods and the garden has been a lot of fun.
