Today is the day that I repeat in my head a bunch of times, "I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it." Exactly 46 more minutes until my sweet little girl comes home, I can survive until then. Hope your day is cleaner than mine :)

HMMMMMMM!
Today is one of those days where you just have to sit back and think, hmmmmm. If I would have known how this day would turn out I would have either stayed in bed all day or captured it all on film instead of cleaning it up as I discovered it. Lotion all over my bathroom mirror, blue crayon on my island and chair, a bar of soap scribbled into my foot board on my bed, the balls from the blow-up toy scattered for the 987,587,422,235,965 time, my folded laundry piles are scattered and if I wasn't so grumpy I would take the time to write the rest.

FUTURE FIREMAN BUBBAS!
So a couple of weeks ago there was a huge truck with a crane parked on our street and Bubbas and I went outside to look at it. He was fascinated with it. He stared at it and kept calling it a firetruck the whole time and wouldn't come back inside until it left. So we decided he should take a field trip to a fire station. We called our good friend and he hooked the kiddo up.
Elias got to try the clothes on, get inside the truck, came home with fireman freebies and he even got to ride around inside the truck!
The boys had a great time. Eli was shy there and kept his fingers in his mouth and didn't say a whole lot but he REFUSED to let anyone take his hat off and as soon as he came home he literally ran up to me and showed me his stickers, book and his hat!! Yay for Bubbas lucky day!
Video of Bubbas at the fire station will be posted shortly.

MY MOTHER'S DAY!
My Mother's day was pretty uneventful. The only thing I look forward to each year is the menu that Jared and the kiddos make for me and I get to sleep in and order breakfast in bed but not this year, we have church at 8:30am so (sigh), no breakfast.
Emma made me a crown at church and whenever I wore it she had to do whatever I said :) Grandma Jensen came over and let the kids help her make pizza.
They had a lot of fun with that and then Nate and Jenn came over and we all ate dinner together. Happy Mother's day everyone.

MOM, I'M SORRY!
Dear Mom,
I never understood why you would get angry/annoyed at us when you would be going to the bathroom and I would knock on the door and ask you if I could go to my friend's house to play. "What's the big deal?" I would think. You are just sitting there peeing and I just want to go to my friends house. It's not like I was asking you to stop peeing to answer me, you can pee and talk at the same time. It's not like I was asking you to take me over there right that second. I was only asking you to say Yes or No, that's all. It seemed simple enough to me.
I am a mom of 4 now, just like you. Now I get it. I understand 100% now: That was your only minute of freedom from the craziness of the house. I am sorry for everytime I ever knocked on the door while you were going to the bathroom. I just yelled at my kids for bugging me. Why can't they let me pee in silence for a minute or two?! Why can't they have patience and leave me alone until after I flush?! I'm sorry Mom, I totally understand now.
I love you!

HOPE YOU'RE ENJOYING THE CIRCUS SHOW!
Having twins means you are always (or I assume at least while they are little) going to be stared at wherever you go like you are a circus show performing constantly and everyone wants to watch. I went to the grocery store the other day and was there for 30 minutes. I brought the twins with me and Eli was in the car in the front of the cart and I spent 1/2 the time on the phone to one of my cousins. The boys were quiet, ate their cookies, I minded my own buisness did my thing and wanted out of there ASAP to carry on with the rest of the day.
During that 30 minutes AND while I was on the phone, I was interupted 7 times altogether with everyone wanting to tell me about their twin grandsons, their neighbor who has twins and co-worker who has a sister-in-law who's ex-husband grew up next to a lady who used to have twins (ok, so that one I made up but that's what it seems like). Everyone is really nice, telling me how cute they are, how lucky I am, "oh honey, bless your heart", etc but still, sometimes it would just be nice to be left alone so I could shop or talk on my phone uninterupted. I always feel like I have to stop and talk to them and smile and sometimes, really, I just want to grab my dang eggs and milk and go. On the other hand, if they didn't say anything...would that upset me like my kids weren't cute enough?! hmmmmmm.
PS - most annoying question in the world..."are they twins?" "NOPE! I just happen to have two kids the same size, same age, in the same clothes, but they aren't twins."
