Cash is definitely Ryan and the twins are YOU! <br /><br />BTW....I did use the pacifier chains with Eva, but I don't want to use them while Brady sleeps, for safety reasons and such. (Sam won't let me :)) I should put them in the car seat!!

I think that's why kids nap--so mom can catch her breath and be ready for the evening busyness.<br /><br />Diaper genies or any other really good diaper pail would help keep the poop from being smelled in the house, since it's too hard to go out. <br /><br />Hang in there.

I spend entirely too much time reading other people's blogs tho and maybe someday I will have one. For now, I can be reached by e-mail. I should get my grandma to give me your e-mail and send you something so you have mine.<br /><br /><br />oh ps. YES, there are many tedious things about my work. I can bore you to tears/or maybe sleep if you're ever interested.<br />Katyakatyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14657076489697282839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024898625983696302.post-9640853027177987212009-06-02T12:58:30.307-05:002009-06-02T12:58:30.307-05:00I'm going to try to make a list of 10 activities I...I'm going to try to make a list of 10 activities I can do with these 2 little boys inside. No matter how you look at it getting out is complicated even with just 2. I think I should learn to make being home more enjoyable and less frustrating. I'll share what I come up with. One thing I know for sure...the more time I am with them the happier everyone is...like simply sitting on the floor while they play. Though it can get boring quickly.LuAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03068175387551988436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024898625983696302.post-34264296493498801642009-06-01T23:53:21.564-05:002009-06-01T23:53:21.564-05:00Absolutely hilarious post.

I can certainly see it all now and imagine it well, having just been there!<br /><br />Large box idea was a great one -- and wouldn't you know that Phoenix would be the one to do the printing!<br /><br />How about story time at least twice a day? Do you need some new books? There must be some books they would all enjoy together in a seated-nearby position with TV off. But thank heaven for the TV! A couple of months during hurricane season will not ruin them, that's for sure. Did you speak to management about installing a high hook on the door? Does not need to require a lock and key, just a hook.<br /><br />Tonight Nancy Grace (yes, I do watch her occasionally) mentioned that she was walking her twins in the park next door at 6:30 a.m. this morning. Just be thankful that yours are usually asleep at that hour, safe in their beds and not into mischief, and that you do not have to deal with the papparazzi while you are taking your babies out, requiring you to go at 6:30 a.m! <br /><br />The paper chain was a great idea too.<br /><br />Much love to all, GrammyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024898625983696302.post-13949696683706887842009-06-01T22:11:47.556-05:002009-06-01T22:11:47.556-05:00Get your hands on a big box (refrigerator, filing ...Get your hands on a big box (refrigerator, filing cabinet, etc.) and make it into a house by cutting doors and windows out of it. You can let Cash color it with crayons (the other ones probably eat crayons; Katie still does!) and it can keep them busy for awhile.

Over the years I have clung to that line. One doesn't feel like she is accomplishing anything when she has so many diapers to change and mouths to feed over and over and over. . . Another line that resonated with me was from a friend's Christmas letter, "mouths and cupboards are open more often than shut".<br />I think all work has it'd tedious, repetitive aspects, which makes me think there must be some necessary purpose in it. What are we becoming as we persevere?<br />Hi Katya! Nice to hear from you. Congratulations on your magnificent accomplishmnet! Is there anything tedious about your work?

That way it gives me an outing without all of the chasing kids around of any other outing, and the kids have exciting things going on because they are out of the house, new friends, etc. But usually what goes around comes around and you have to take your turn hosting someone else's outing at your house, and all the craziness that ensues. Totally worth it though. Then you feel like at least you are doing something. But I bet for you, just getting into the car when starting from scratch on any given morning takes 2-3 hours, best-case scenario. "Limitations," indeed!<br /><br />Maybe instead of all that, just make one of those paper chains to rip off one link every day until the next time you either come to Utah or your Mom comes there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024898625983696302.post-22985555225512110282009-06-01T17:08:07.812-05:002009-06-01T17:08:07.812-05:00hmm I can think of edible crafts,well just one at ...hmm I can think of edible crafts,well just one at the moment (finger painting with pudding!), but that's probably not what you meant.<br /><br />I'll put it on the back burner of my mind and see what pops up. :)<br /><br />Katyakatyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14657076489697282839noreply@blogger.com
