My "angels" are feeling spunky today. I took them out to do some fun things this morning and planned on getting some serious house cleaning done this afternoon. However, my boys don't seem to think cleaning is a good way for me to spend my time.
Since getting up from their naps, they have:
- loaded a dvd player with view-finder discs
- loaded a fax machine with pennies
- unrolled a roll of toilet paper and a roll of paper towels
- spilled a glass of milk in the kitchen (somehow covering every surface that I had just finished cleaning, and requiring me to mop and also wash the walls and windows)
- scattered books and matchbox cars throughout the house jumped on my just-made bed, messing up the one clean-looking spot in the house
and finally:
- Henry informed me that they can't play outside, because (at 63 degrees) it is just too cold outside (were they seriously born in Montana?)
So right now I'm having a "time-out." Seemed like a good idea. The boys have been banished from every room except the play room (I don't even want to think about what it might look like by now!) I guess this is my cry for help. HELP! Somebody send me a babysitter and a maid! :)

Been there! Hang in there and I highly suggest a babysitter and often. I used to feel bad for getting away for a little while, but not anymore. I know I'm much happier when I've had a break. No guilt- that's unusual for me :-)
Hey- i noticed the boys are wearing Colorado colors!
That is so my world!
The Fun Fest is Sunday the 29th from 3-5. We're planning on going and I told Jon and Kelly about it. I think my sister is going to call you.
BTW, they are having a cobbler contest—you are sure to win!
