Things have been really interesting lately.
We are still loving our new digs & I find so much less time to spend on the internet because there is always something going on in our house! Before, when the kids went to bed I’d go watch TV & blog, etc. But now I hang out with my sister-in-laws a lot & barely ever open the laptop!

The kids are having a great time & are learning so much at such an amazing rate. Hudson is officially 33 months & the twins are almost 20 months.

Hudson is a real character. He has stopped using the “potty” and now uses the adult real toilet. With no help. In fact, the other day I was in the bathroom & he told me to “leave him alone” and made me wait outside while he took care of the entire thing himself. He is super obsessed with Star Wars ( even though he’s never seen it) and spends most of the day singing the theme song super-dramatic like (“duhhh Nahhhhhh nanana NAH NAH duhnah NANA NAHHHHH nah nah nah NAHHHHH!”) with hand motions even. SO ridiculous. He pretty much refuses to drink from a sippy cup anymore. He doesn’t like tv much, but loves youtube & Disney movies. He is getting even better at drawing people & homeboy now tells me almost daily that his birthday is in January.

The twins are talking a lot more. They are also starting to potty train themselves! Truman always tells us when he needs to go and Sawyer is getting better, I think having Hudson using the potty has made them super interested. They even both went at Scott’s aunt’s house today on the big potty! I am impressed at how quickly they are picking it up. Sawyer has been having sleep issues lately which have been keeping me up. She is teething & taking it pretty hard. The other night thanks to Sawyer’s crying I ended up with an hour sleep & three kids in my bed. I must have passed out at some point because I woke up to the toilet flushing- only to find the boys egging on Sawyer as she flushed Game Boy games down the toilet. No Joke! Sawyer is about a week from climbing out of her crib which is scary & I’m pretty sure they will be in toddler beds before their birthday.

I’ve been sick this week which has been kind of shitty. I’ve been trying my best not to let it hold me back from all my plans. Last night I saw Portishead at The Greek Theatre in Berkeley with my sister-in-laws & my buddy Kelsey. It was AMAZING. Beth Gibbons’ voice was basically flawless. They sound like a recording- even live. It was really spectacular. I remember the first time I saw the video for Sour Times on MTV on Beavis & Butthead in like 6th or 7th grade. Been hooked ever since! & since the last time they played in the area was 1998 (which I missed for whatever reason) I was STOKED to finally see them live after being a fan for 15+ years.

Tonight we went to Scott’s aunt’s house & had dinner. The weather was really summery & we played soccer out in the yard. Until, that is- I kicked the ball full force & it went straight into the back of Truman’s head! It was so loud I thought for sure we were hospital bound but he didn’t even flinch. I was like “uhhh, you ok, Tru?” He was like “YEAH!” and that was that. I felt HORRIBLE but thank god it wasn’t serious & he was totally unfazed.

We went to the pumpkin patch Tuesday & Krust got some really cute little pictures. I plan to upload them to Facebook, so if we aren’t friends on the book- go ahead & add me!
