thunderstorms!<\/p>\nSince we had a very busy weekend, a full-out recap will take too long. And sadly, our camera is full, and I haven’t figured out how to post videos to Xanga yet. So you’ll just have to use your imaginations for now…<\/p>\n
The Good Things<\/p>\n
1. Eric was home Thursday-Monday. It was lovely! He got a ton of work done outside (mulching the front beds, trimming bushes, etc). He felt productive and loved hanging with us. <\/p>\n
2. Our anniversary was Saturday. We went out together. Apparently, the 6th anniversary is traditionally the “iron anniversary” – so we bought a metal-framed stroller, a new kitchen knife, and saw Iron Man 2!<\/p>\n
3. Last week was full of visits. My parents were here on Monday and Thursday. Eric’s mom came on Tuesday and Saturday. We had a party at my mom’s on Monday. It was all good.<\/p>\n
4. I bought the babies 2 little inflatable baby pools for $1.99 each at Meijer. They are one ring high and just under 3 feet across. And they LOVE them. Oh how I wish I could show you all the video!<\/p>\n
5. My son is all-boy. He is drawn like a magnet to dirt. He definitely needs a sandbox. <\/p>\n
6. Erin loves riding the tricycles at my mom’s house (we have to push her on them). Again, I wish I could show you the video because the laughter just warms the heart!<\/p>\n
7. There have been a number of thunderstorms around here recently. I thunderstorms!<\/p>\n
8. I actually took the twins to the library yesterday, and we had a great time! I let them play in the kids area, looking at books and exploring. We will definitely be doing that again soon! Oh, and I got books, too. Also lovely!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Lesser Things<\/p>\n
1. Last night, I gave myself a steam-burn on my finger. It really hurt. It’s better today, but seriously, you should all avoid that happening to you, if possible.<\/p>\n
2. My summer infestation of sugar ants started this weekend, right after we turned on the A\/C. Seriously, I hate those things. But so far, I’m ahead of them. And it’s forcing me to keep my counters clean. (So maybe that part should go in the top section.)<\/p>\n
3. I don’t know if this was true for any of you, but finding a girl name that I like is really, really hard. If you have any suggestions of names you’ve always loved (whether you used them or not), I am very open to suggestions. I realize we have 4 months, but we didn’t get the twins names until about 2 weeks before they were born. And it was Erin’s name that was the final hurdle there. <\/p>\n
4. I’m in “boredom” mode again. It’s a cycle, I know. And I know the cure is to start committing myself to finishing, not just starting things. So, I’m re-reading Jane Eyre (one of my most favorite books) because I know I’ll finish it. And I’m purposely being better about going places and doing things again. Hopefully that will really get me moving again.<\/p>\n

Okay, it sounds like naps are ending. And that is the update as I can remember it right now, anyway. Happy Wednesday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
