Blog Party 2013!

It's that time of year again! I'm joining the ultimate blog party.

I'm Jessica and this blog is about what we do and why when it comes to parenting. There have been controversial posts - TV and Computer Time for Babies, crazy posts - Traveling with twin babies (yes, we did 7 trips in their first year), helpful posts - Circle Time, and just plain funny posts - It's not what you think.

In case you think those things are limited to the past I can assure you there is much more to come. In May you can read about taking our 2.5 year old twins on their first BIG trip (Italy, Poland, and Germany). This Summer I will have many posts with neurological research and tips and tricks to getting preschoolers to do chores and like it.

Basically when it comes to parenting there is something here for everyone and at least a few things that will offend everyone. I like to keep it fair like that. Welcome to my blog and I hope to see you here again soon!

Family Time

We went on a quick trip to visit family. As usual, the photos are only of the kids.

First the kids discovered the chair opens and closes.

This was more fun than we would have predicted.

Then we went outside to feed the geese. He was brave and got close to them.

She wasn't as brave, but practiced her throwing skills.

We walked to a local elementary school and the kids played. They loved the bouncing horsies. It was colder than we expected, so we all borrowed sweaters. It was a fun trip and the kids still remember it.

Wordless Wednesday

So Proud

Sweet Son just picked up a book that has never been read to him and sounded out each word and read the entire book. No encouragement, no help, just to make himself happy. This is just awesome!

On the other hand, Sweet Daughter is proud because she can fart louder than Sweet Son.
