Raising kids is like raising a puppy

We went on several adventures today.  First, we took advantage of the beautiful weather and went for a walk - all of us - even Nittany!  It took forever to gear up, but it was worth it.  The babies got to wear the new hats cousin Stacey made.  The looked adorable.  Pushing the stroller is awkward to say the best, but I'll get used to taking short steps.  Nittany was not happy at our slow pace.



Please excuse my oversized outfit - fashion is not my thing right now.  Look past to the beautiful mountains.




Since everyone was geared up and in their seats, we decided to venture to the grocery store.  I was craving something green.  I've been eating exclusively junk food for a week.  They didn't come in the store, and I was in and out in five minutes.

So, how is this like raising a puppy.  Apparently, if you do anything outside of the regular schedule, the babies get extremely tired and sleep all day.  Score!  We figured it out.  Nittany slept all day too.  I actually cleaned off a counter.

Baby girl is congested.  It's hard to listen to her struggle -especially at night.  She's sleeping in her chair to help out.  That bulb thing is her best friend right now.  She isn't sick, so I guess we just wait it out.  

Speaking of baby girl - I don't know why we spent so much time coming up with names for these kids.  We call them everything but their names.  Our favorites are baby boy and baby girl.  That would have been a hell of a lot easier!

  1. the name thing is awkward....I just called all of mine sweetpea..that way I didn't get the wrong name. And I was still in my 20s...oh brain, where did you go?

  2. You are cracking me up this morning! First off, your outfit is perfect (you won't mind getting spit up on) and secondly the name thing is hilarious and so true and anytime referring to both, they are not Max and Rosie, just "the twins". For example..."Oh my I can't believe the twins are 1 month old tomorrow". Yep, I said it tonight to my kids!
