Jumping rope- The athletic training begins... early

Red in the face

This morning I noticed a large zit forming on my forehead. For those who don't know, toothpaste is a wonderful way to get rid of one quick. Plain old white toothpaste will absorb the oils and give a refreshing feeling. It is also great for bug bites and ivy rashes... ANYWAY... I digress.

So. I put toothpaste on the zit... as Miss K wasn't due to come for 2 more hours. I made a mental note to wash it off before her time of arrival. (********Those of you who don't have kids... mental reminders don't work as well once you have kids! *****Those of you who do, you know how SILLY of an idea that was!) I'm sure you can already figure out where this is heading...

Miss K came. I chatted with her mom. Mom of Miss K left. We all played with books and toys in the living room. Changed diapers. Got snacks together. Packed up kids. Headed to chiropractor.

Taking all 3 toddlers into the Chiro attracts a lot of attention. So, I chatted with the people in the waiting room. Chatted with the receptionist. Basically, we were social butterflies. (*** You almost HAVE to be with twins!)

I wheeled the kids into Dr. E's office. As he is shutting the door he says, "What is wrong with your forehead?!"

OHHHHHhhhh SHHHHIIIIITTTTTTTT!!!!!! is my first thought. I forgot about the DAMN toothpaste!

I laugh it off. Meanwhile, I am licking my fingers and using the spit (yes, very gross, but I had to get rid of it ASAP!). I am sure I was beet red. All the while I am explaining about trying to get rid of my HUGE zit and how many uses toothpaste has, besides cleaning your teeth.

I played it cool. I am proud of that... but MAN was I embarrassed!

Oh well. He didn't think much of it. He is a great guy. But, I think we might be causing a delay in his having kids any time soon. That sometimes happens around us.

Anyway, Ha ha moment on me. Such is life.

Towel find

As winter is just around the corner, I was thinking about keeping the kiddos warm and comfortable. After bath they take off, most of the time. If I am bathing them alone... that means one kid is running around naked until I can get them dressed. So, we got these towels. They LOVE them! And, they stay on their head and around them... a big poncho. So, now they are wrapped up until I get them dressed... Unfortunately, it won't stop them from accidents until I can get a diaper on! ;)

Itty bitty camping chairs

I saw one of these at my friend's house. The wondertwins are really into chairs and couches. So, we went to get them. For $5 each... we got two chairs that were "just right". They LOVE them! They specifically like to curl up in their chair with "nack nack" (snack in a kiddie bowl, as seen in the pics), and watch "Melmo" (elmo). Ahh, the joys of being small. I hope they can always be so easily pleased!
