78 ounces of joy plus a 30lb. boy!: July 9, 2012

Ohhhhh, so much has been going on and I've not been keeping up so lets see if I can remember.

Mostly, I spend my time these days following around and cleaning up after my naughty daughters. They are hilarious these days. Malorie will have whole conversations with facial and hand expressions in gibberish words. She emphasizes lots and dances on command which is quite entertaining. Pearl instigated this one with getting all the dish towels out. I let them so I could cook dinner.

Then Pearl decided to take her skirt off and put on a hat and her shoes (I helped with the shoes.)

A rare Mommy picture! We were trying to read books but they were fighting over who turned the page. Pearl won because she was closer.

A rare Daddy photo! Who knows what Miles is doing.

Miles has been liking to "play" with the babies occasionally now. This day, he wanted to play on the chair with Pearl. She sat on him and then I made him get off because nothing good was going to come from this. He usually plays for about 5 minutes and then a baby "accidentally" falls or gets kicked.

I LOVE this picture. Pearl is just sipping some milk with her glove on.

Cool girl on July 4th. We had the most boring 4th this year. We stayed home and cleaned out the garage! Fun, Fun.

Pearl loved this outfit because she could do this. I thought it was pretty funny until I realized at one point she had pooped and was wiping it all over her tummy!

Pearl got her shirt dirty, so when one gets to take their clothes off, all want to take their clothes off. Then Miles decided to lay on the coffee table so Pearl decided to give him a kiss on his head. A rare moment of sweetness!

The other morning when I got home from the gym, I was upstairs taking a shower and when I came out, Miles had done this! He took all these ties out of Sam's closet and hung them on the railing. He said he "stole" them. He is really into "stealing" things right now like chapstick, glasses, anything really he thinks you will miss and then chase him for. Later, he said he put up some decorations - that is why he did it.

When I asked him about what he did, this is what he gave me! I"m not sure what we fed him that morning but he was EXTRA hyper and hilarious. When the babies got upstairs and started taking down his decorations, his mood shifted drastically.
