Bad blogger

These days I haven't been such a good blogger. The real reason is that I'm busy at work - for probably the first time ever - and work is where I used to do my blogging. Now I'm working through lunch even and well, once I get home, there are a million other things to do. Knitting and spinning have been few and far between - though I expect in a week or two I may have some finished projects to show off.

Oddly enough, my belly problems have been few and far between despite them usually being prevalent enough to warrant scope-y investigation. It must be like when you take your car to the mechanic and as soon as you get there, the car stops doing what it was doing that made you go there in the first place. I take my insides to the GI doc and it scares them into shape. So, YAY for normal digestion and being able to eat whatever the hell I want.

And YAY for toddlers! Toddler twins are fun. Toddler infants, not so much. Once we turned the 18 month mark, something changed. The increased independence, the activity, it all starting being more fun than work. Now I can sit on the sofa and let them run around me. I can sit them at their little toddler table and let them feed themselves. It's awesome. Of course, with the good is the bad. Miss Scarlet can throw a temper tantrum that I didn't think was possible. She's always been the firey one, but you can really hear the anger now - it has a different quality now than when she was an infant. More focused, more purposeful, more conscious. God help us when she's a teenager.

Got some fantastic duds for Christmas:

And here are a couple of amusing little videos to show what I mean when I say toddler twins are FUN. A little naptime mischief, a little hide and seek, you see what I mean.

Oh lord...Scarlet's voice when she says "Hi" and Blu's voice when he says "Boo"?

It is so neat to see them interact. My husband is a twin and he just can't understand all the crap Gracie goes through with friends. Having a built in BFFL is very nice!

Ohmigod. TOO cute. I made Dave watch the first one. I particularly enjoyed your vaguely ode to Blair Witchness. I love watching them play with each other. You've got two super awesome kids there...
