JUNE!!

Six days away from a weekend of GRANDPARENTS!

In anticipation, we are busy getting this-and-that done around the house. (We got the hinges flipped around on the laundry room door, Ben put shelves up in the bathroom, and my two Bear Scouts helped install a working light fixture.) I know the grandparents care more about seeing their grandchildren, but I think the basement will get its share of "oohs" and "aahs."

So next week is also a big week because it's my last week of employment. I've spent the past six months tending some adorable twins. I will miss having babies around, but I am ready to be done. It has been hard to get anything done while I'm on the clock. This week I uploaded photos for the first time in six months! I'm burning a CD of photos to give the twins' mom.

Like this one? Poor quality but, hey, I have sleeping babies on my lap:

sleeping babies are the BEST kinds of babies

My own babies have two weeks to go before before summer vacation but they're ready. They have been perfecting their Otter Pops-eating skills. CO prefers the pronunciation "Ottow Pops" She says; "I like Otter Pops. They're pretty cold. We drink them. We bite them. SO likes Otter Pops. And I like Otter Pops. And JO and RO? They like Otter Pops. I love Otter Pops days."

Otter Pops AND chalk-covered sidewalks. Yup, we're ready!
