Eating and sleeping..or is it sleeping and eating?

After looking at these videos, you let us know which one comes first...since we can't seem to figure it out.

Twins taking another nap during dinnertime....

Abby showcasing her self-feeding skills. She's a master and is now teaching her brothers how to self-feed!

Our crazy kingdom...

Now that all the little ones are mobile, we must find things to do to keep them occupied while they are in motion. Some ideas, of course, work out better than others. This past week, we started building forts and obstacle courses, since the twins enjoy going under things and pulling up on anything that will hold their weight, while Abby is more like her mom--a steamroller. Here are some videos of what we do to keep busy when it rains in New England....

Introduction of 'Forts and Obstacle Courses'...

Whammo!!

Look who's hiding now!!

Tubby Time (and I don't mean, Teletubbies!)

Believe it or not, we regularly bathe our children, although we attempt to make it more of a fun activity rather than something we have to do... We think they get the idea and thankfully, all the kiddies enjoy their bath time...with and without their siblings. :)

Abby and Alec
Prince Aramis loves to splash!

'Hey bro...whatcha doing? Oh, water splashing...ooooohhhh!'
Abby signs the alphabet and encourages her brothers to learn sign language quickly so they can keep up with her!

Snips and snails and puppy dogs tails.....

Peek-a-boo! Where is Aramis??? Hmmm...carpet picnic maybe?
This is what happens when little boys become interested in where the food is stored....
...and they call in reinforcements.....
Don't mind us, we're just ripping all the cupboards apart--well, at least those that don't have super-steel locks on them!

What else is there to say...we have boys...TWO of them! They are cruising and into everything. Opening every drawer and cabinet they can. Ripping apart books, chewing on anything they get their hands on, and are always on 'the hunt' for something new to devour. We were warned by friends that Abigail was a dream child and that boys would be new territory...and so they were right...and we're loving every minute of it!
