Weekend Update

Yesterday was a crazy busy day. We had swimming in the morning followed by attendance at the Twin Picnic. Our local chapter of the Mothers of Twins Club held their annual picnic yesterday in one of the nearby towns. There was a decent turnout, despite the rain. It was one of the few events we could attend where were aren't really a novelty with the kids. Everywhere you looked, there were families with at least two kids running around. What I found particularly impressive was the mom who had triplets. How she does it is beyond me.

The twins club has been a good organization for me. I have met some nice moms and have picked up some good tips on how to just manage life with twins, like how to feed them both at the same time or witty comebacks for the odd comments you get when out with the kiddos.

Today is the Lebanese Festival, which we hear is suppose to be great. We hope to attend after the babies' morning nap. Of course, Hank went down immediately for his nap, and Clara is fighting it hard--despite having been yawning before we put her down. Gotta love how that works. It's a constant battle to figure out who to put to nap when. They are just about 30 minutes off between how long one wants to stay up and one wants to nap. Of course, I could theoretically put them down at different times, but that would pretty much result in chaos when they wake up. Someday, I will have this nap schedule down, but probably only once the kids are beyond needing a nap!

In homage to nap discussions, here is an older nap related picture of Clara from when the swing was the nap place of choice:
