It's the coolest thing to have the beach so close to home...the kids love it...

"Now how does this thing work?....I really wanted to call that cute chick I saw the other day at the beach...maybe if I stick all in my mouth and chew on it....

Clean and fresh after bath time...

thought the video of this song was pretty amazing, showing these diffrent ppl who fought for what they believed in even if some of them had to wait years to see any change...and I'm sure there are many more..

The carrot eater

Since he's always chewing on his hands, plastic toys and whatever he can get his on hands on, like a nut, probably because of teething, today while he was waiting that I'd make his food, I gave him a nice raw carrot, cold from the fridge, and he seemed to really enjoy it....

What's diffrent?

Big novelty of the day, the twins got a haircut today! The last time they had it cut was last year at the end of summer, so it had regrown quite a bit and with this incredible heat that summer has brought upon us, I decided(with their consent)to give their hair a little snip...they are quite lucky though as their hair grows quite fast, so in about 7-8 months it'll be on their shoulders again...by the way, a hairdresser did it, not me...

Just about the kids...

"Mom what are you doing flashing that thing at me? You know I don't like posing for pictures!"
"Fine, fine, I give up, take the picture......"
