"Mommy Diaries"

Well, life with two 1 year olds is quite entertaining to say the least...the other night we (mainly mommy) were anxiously awaiting daddy's arrival from work. Once he walked in the door the boys took off after him (quite cute!!). Anyways, daddy said, "ewwww, somebody pooped..." and I thought, "ahhh, perfect timing!!" So, I am in the kitchen making dinner, when all of the sudden I hear a scream, "HELP!!! Mitchell pooped without a diaper!!". I came running to see what happened and I didn't see any poop!! Kyle said, "Julie, look it fell out on the floor." I got so tickled I could hardly help!! Mitchell had on a one piece fleece outfit and his diaper had somehow fallen down his leg. Apparently, that fleece on his hynie felt cozy enough to POOP on!! And, on a side note...our children ALWAYS twist and turn when changing a diaper so you can imagine how much fun that is. So, I grabbed Mitchell's legs and kyle turned to clean up the mess only to notice Parker had something in his mouth...he immediately did the finger swoop and unfortunately he pulled out poop. I was in disbelief when he showed me. I totally thought he found a lima bean on the floor until kyle said, "Julie, smell it...it's poop!! Should we take him to the doctor?? He could get ecoli??" I couldn't help but continue to laugh!! I told him that he's probably not the first kid to eat poop, however he could be the first kid to eat his brother's poop, though. Ha ha!! Had I been alone during this fiasco, I'm sure I would have a much different attitude!! We did eventually get them both cleaned up and we haven't noticed Parker being sick from it, so that's good too!! Boy were our lives BORING before Mitchell & Parker!!

We went out to Natchez Trace yesterday with Nona, Dandy, & Cole to try to get a good picture for them to use for their Christmas card. Mom always wanted to send out a picture card for Christmas and every year it was over before she got around to doing it. Now that the grand-babies are around, she really wants to do it, so we'll see what happens. Anyways, this was our attempt at getting some shots with everyone...it was quite the challenge!!
