Home with Dad


We have fielded a bunch of posts on great occasions and with deep messages. For a change of pace, I am offering to you an inside look at the mundane and everyday: the twins, at home with Dad.

If naps are part of the equation, Evie and I usually get to spend some quality time on our own before sleepyhead Jesse wakes up. Today Evie woke up after about an hour and a half nap and started calling for anyone who would listen (when I came in she was sitting with her blanket over her head and talking to herself). After the obligatory diaper change, Evie and I were on our own for a bit. Here's how we spent our time:

Washing hands in the dog bowl

Dancing

Laughing

Trying to get the baby latches off the kitchen cabinets

Jesse didn't wake up on his own. I woke him up so he wouldn't sleep the afternoon away and then refuse to go to bed tonight.

I guess you can see that he didn't wake up in a very good mood (poor guy)!

...but he cheered up quickly when I made him a smoothie for a snack.



And then the twins got busy with their (current) favorite games, which include figuring out how to snap the buckles on their booster seats, twirling with the music cube, and pretending to cook exciting new recipes to try out with one another.


Here, you try it!

I'm going to wrap this one up and head to the park for fun on the swings and slides. Happy Memorial Day!

Wow! I'm impressed! You've managed to do a lot since I left just 2 hours ago. Not only all this fun, but taking pics, uploading them, and writing a post. I am in awe.

Signed,
Your-ever-lovin'-wife (& their ever-lovin'-mama)
