12 Years Ago Today, Some Scrapping, and Christmas Funnies!!!!


I had twins!!! It's still pretty hard to believe that my little babies are on the brink of being teenagers and when I think back I really dont know how I made it this far lol. This day more than anyday in my entire life defined my selflessness. In that moment who, or what I was didn't matter what I wanted all melted away all I wanted was to meet the needs of those two little babies.


I regret the fact that I had a really crappy camera back in those days, but who knew!! I was really in a dream world about the whole thing. Aside from that I really didnt think my little babies were that cute when they first arrived chalk that up to tv magic and the fact that I really hadnt been around to many newborns; let alone newborns that were smaller than a bag of sugar. So I dont have a ton of first day and hospital pictures, I was more concerned with them getting out of the NICU than taking pictures. But here are my babies...when they were babies ROFL


I managed to find some time to sit down and scrap a bit yesterday while the kids are occupied with all their shiny new toys, it felt really good just to sit and create :) so here are the three I got done! I have trained the twins that Mommy can only take so much activity so even though it's their birthday we will take it easy today and celebrate after the new year. This year they don't want a party and that's fine with me!! They just want to go out to dinner at the restaurant of their choice :) So I will just be making them a cake today for us to sing & they have already opened their gifts this morning. Maybe I'll be able to sneak in a little work and more scrap time.


So as for the Christmas funnies, the holiday went great but the two most notable events this year that make me giggle everytime I think of them are:
The Great Present mix up, Melvin never ever wraps gifts I do it all every year and even wrap my own...this year I was pissy so he offered to help. I gave him instructions and let him have at it. He wrapped it all by himself BUT I guess I forgot to tell him to immediately label. He chose to do piles wrap it all then label....well before he could ge tto the labelling part Maiya snuck into the room and organized all of the presents by color....so we had an open and pass Christmas!!!!
The Ipod Fiasco, all the girls got Ipods this year for Christmas.... So of course it's my job to register them and get them all hooked up, synced blah blah blah. Well I didn't know that the Ipod pulls every type of media off of your computer... INCLUDING PICTURES until I hear oh Mommy I have all these pictures on my Ipod oh look it's pictures of .......... OMG I have never moved so fast to snatch and grab something LOL
They of course had no idea why, but I had taken some pictures for Mel for Christmas and yes I had loaded them onto my babies Ipods!! Nice!!! Thank god I grabbed them before they scrolled through all of the pictures the damn thing had loaded.
If this house is good for anything it's always good for a freaking laugh!!! I hope everyone had a great holiday!!!
