I took the kids to a pumpkin patch today and my 2.5 ended up climbing the fence where the pigs were! Thank God there was fence #2 in between the animals and him but I just about lost my mind. Why are there two fences? For kids like mine?? How the hell did he get in there?
Oh! And what I'm most grateful for is that I didn't judge the mom who's boy fell in that gorilla's area by saying "how did she not see her kid climb there?" Because it happens. It happens in a matter of seconds.
Seriously though. How did he get in there so fast?

richzep I would have died. You're so right, that stuff happens absurdly fast. Thinks I never thought MY daughter would get away with happen all the freaking time.

I had my first full day all alone with the babies yesterday. I would say it was successful. But definitely not without some very hard moments. But adult laundry done, babies fed, and packed the babies for our weekend away this weekend. Didn't manage to get dressed though. Hopefully today. Hoping to leave the house and get some groceries. Wish me luck!

richzep, glad for that extra fence too! Happy all is wekk.

I'm staying with my parents for the week since DH is traveling for work. I'm practically solo parents Monday-Friday since my parents both work but it's nice to be in my hometown, where my family and friends are and I know everything. (We moved 6 hours away in May). DD1 is getting lots of play time with my nephew. They were born 6 weeks apart so basically are growing up together. It's so sweet.

And the babies slept SO well last night! We were up late hanging out at my brothers so they didn't go down until 9ish but then slept until 2 then woke to eat at 5. I'm amazed. These babies are so much more chill than DD1 and I'm loving it. I also think that thinking these will probably be our last babies is making me kinda enjoy every step a little more.

I can't get out of my head that these babies are both boys.

Is that good or bad? We're praying for boys. Or I should say, DH is. I think I'm fine with either. SaveSave

hollyberry, You got laundry done AND packed for a trip! That's awesome!!!
richzep, this is why I asked for backpack leashes for their first birthday.

[hollyberry]

schmella, to be fair
I have been putting stuff in the suitcase for a few days now. I just finished is all! But it still feels good to be done.

Sounds like a successful day to me hollyberry! You go, mama!

I think we may be attempting the transition to the cribs this weekend. L has started rolling to her side in the RNP, and I don't know that I like it. Wish us luck!!

In other news, today's high is 78 and tomorrow's is 59. Okay, Ohio, maybe give me a more gradual transition to fall weather. Good Lord! The kiddos are wearing my favorite summery outfits one last time today and tomorrow will be all bundled up!

Don't worry, it looks like it'll warm up again by the end of the weekend (at least in Illinois).

Yep, same here. It's just so hard to know how to dress them with these drastic changes every other day.

I dress them in shorts and t-shirt, then put sweat pants and a jacket over it and possibly wrap a blanket over them in the stroller. Socks if they'll stay on. Basically, I send all the clothes.

pbandj714 good luck with the transition. When i transitioned mine, I started with naps first. So the crib wasn't completely foreign. Then I switched completely over and it was totally fine. Good luck this weekend.

It's not that bad, I'm just wishing for at least one girl. I will be happy as long as they both are healthy

Loss mentioned
My first was my daughter. She passed away at a day so I didn't get that experience.

HDBD matching outfits just gave me an idea. I'll have matching sets of twins. I wonder if I can find matching outfits for my matching sets of twins...

This must happen!

I'm irrationally excited about this. Thing 1,2,3,4 anyone?

Also, all the big/little brother/sister combos are so exciting!
