HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

I will try to post pictures of the kids later.

Yummy!

For dinner tonight we had pasta with meat sauce. It was the first time I let the girls feed themselves a very messy dinner (they have feed themselves other things, of course). They loved it, but they sure made messes. I just had to share pictures of them-and one of G1 because he wanted his picture taken too. :-)

G1 (of course)

G2

G3

Last night G2 got ahold of G1's applesauce cup (it was mixed berry flavor-Scooby Doo applesauce).

I also thought it would be fun to share a picture of G1's first time feeding himself spaghetti. He was so little. :-/

One year ago today....

We had our first ultrasound and found out that we had 2 little miracles growing inside me. It was such a wonderful and special day. In seven weeks our little girls will be 1. Everyday I wonder why we were blessed with these wonderful children.

10 Month Check-Up

The girls had their 9 month well child check today (at 10 months). G2 weighs 16 lbs and is 27.5 inches tall. G3 weighs 16 lbs 3 oz and is 27 inches tall. Everything seems good. We go back in December for their year check-up.

Costume time!!

For Halloween this year the kids are going to be Thing 1 (G2), Thing 2(G3), and the Cat in the Hat (G1). Marcia made the hair for the girls. We got red blanket sleepers for them to wear and red mittens. Mom made all of G1's costume. We went to try on G1's costume today. I put the girls in their costumes so I could get pictures of all the kids.

Teeth

G3's second tooth came through today. YAY!! It's about time. G2 started clapping the other day. She just looked up at me and smiled and then started clapping. It was so cute. :-) G1 had another tooth come through yesterday. Now he just has 2 more until he has all 20 that he should have right now. I still don't have any pictures to post, but I promise soon I will post pictures. That's it for now!

It's been a few days....

It feels like it's been forever since I posted anything. I apologize to those of you that check in on us to see how things are going.

There really isn't much to tell. Matt has been working quite a bit lately. With Christmas and the girls' birthday coming up soon we need all the money we can get right now-plus trying to find a place to live closer to work for Matt.

I have started working on the girls' birthday invitations, but they seem to be taking me forever. But on the plus side the building is reserved now for me (thank you Cathy!). I can't believe in just under 2 months my baby girls will be a year old. It seems so insane. I can hardly believe it. They should still be little 3 pound babies. :-)

What's new???

G1 is talking better and better everyday. He is repeating just about everything he hears. He is remembering things so well. He is also learning how to use his pronouns correctly. It's so amazing to listen and watch all the new things he does/says. It seems like it was just a few days ago when I was planning his 1st birthday party and thinking that he should still be a little 4 pound baby. (I better stop reminiscing about my itty bitty babies or I will start to cry.) :-)

G2 is climbing all over the place. She is walking along the furniture. She does pretty well walking while holding onto our hands. She still only has the 2 teeth. She is definitely still the bully of the 2 girls but she is also the more sensitive one. G2 waves bye-bye now-not all the time, but she still does it.

G3 is also climbing all over the place. She also walks all along the furniture. Still only the 1 tooth for her. I guess she just needed the one, so that I would stop calling her my toothless wonder. :-) G3 is waving bye-bye when we say bye-bye. She also signs done. She will occasionally say "Bye-Bye" when she waves. Yesterday she learned how to clap and this morning she said "Yay" while she was clapping. So cute!!!

Everyday it is more and more fun to watch the kids interact with each other. They are all playing so nicely together now.

I would post some pictures this time but the cameras are out in the Jeep and frankly I don't feel like going outside right now. Sorry.

I've been sick this week. Not much fun considering Matt hasn't been home to help out. But I'm starting to feel better today.

I just looked over at the kids and right now G1 is showing the girls the pictures in G3's photo album from when she was just born and still in the hospital. It is so sweet. :-)

I will try to not let so much time go by before I post again. I will also try to have pictures next time. Have a good day/week everyone!! :-)

What are some people thinking??

I was at the store with all 3 kids Monday evening. We got to the check out and the cashier noticed I had a double stroller. She asks "Twins?" Well, at this point I am already annoyed from being stopped a million times in the 10 minutes I was in the store and G1 was being a well, 2-year old. So, I wasn't the most polite when I answered "Yes." Then she asked "Both girls." DUH! Don't you see all the pink??!? "Yes", I replied. Then she says to G1 "I feel sorry for you." I said "Don't." She says "Oh, is he deserving of it?" I was thinking "What the heck is wrong with you!?!?" I simpled replied "No, twins are a blessing. He is very blessed." She says "Oh, well I was a terror for my brother." I said, "Well, the girls aren't you. They all love each other very much. So, don't feel sorry for him, he is happy." Then she just stammered trying to come up with something to say and finally hurried to get my 5-6 items rang up.

I was so annoyed leaving the store. I just could not believe anyone would say something like that to a 2 year old. I've had an older woman tell me and Matt that she felt sorry for us and I though that was bad enough, but to say it to a 2 year old!! You've got to be kidding me!

My hair

I went and got my hair cut today. Matt really likes it. I'm okay with it, as long as it is easy to do everyday (which I know it will be). I just needed to lose some length. These aren't the best pictures, but they will have to do for now. I look extremely tired in them too....because I was/am.

Rub-A-Dub-Dub 3 Gs in a Tub

Saturday, there was a Prickett family reunion. So, I went over Friday night and stayed at Ronda's house. In the morning everyone got up and got in the tub. Only the 3 Gs got in at the same time. (G3 just got her hair washed-that is why the face she makes)



G2 decided to climb out of her seat while G1 got his hair washed.



She was pretty proud of herself!



We were the first to arrive to the reunion. We saw cousins Gary & Debi. Gary G2 and G3 all have the same hair style! Gary is holding G3 while Debi holds G2.



We saw sister/aunt Mallory. (G2)



We saw some of the Gs cousins.
