Considered yourself warned. If ever you are nice enough to watch the babies for me, consider this post your fair warning. YOU CAN'T LEAVE THEM ALONE IN THE BATHROOM! Within the last week they have done the following on separate occasions:
Exhibit A - Found laundry in a tub of bath water
Exhibit B - Found nearly a whole roll of tissue in the tiniest of pieces ALL over the floor
Exhibit C - Emptied a full bottle of shampoo into their bath water
Exhibit D - Put one of their potty seats in the tub of bath water.
I mean they are USUALLY good girls, but their bathroom etiquette is wearing me out!
You were warned...

Plasma Car
We got the twins one of those plasma cars for Christmas. Because I figured they were a bit young for it, we got one instead of two. But the thing is, it was supposed to be for them. Big Sister had different plans. She has a blast on that thing riding around the kitchen. Glad it's something they can all enjoy. Super fun!
Having sister is so much fun. Love my girls :)

52 Fridays
As you can probably tell, I have a thing for taking pics. I'm not a photographer, but I'm loving learning about photography. It's a great creative outlet and in the process, it will be a future gift for the girls. This year, I transformed my 365 blog into a 52 Week Blog for my three. I feel like I can actually get this done this year. The 365 was just a bit too overwhelming and I ultimatey failed...
but now...All For Mommy...Something New. A new project that I'm pretty excited about. And a promise to not create one more blog...geez!

Ten
I love this girl...my first baby. And while I'll never pick a favorite, truth be told, there is something very special about that. Today she is ten. Suddenly I am not so sure what to do with that. I just want to put life in slow motion a bit because I'd like to hang on to this time just a bit longer...(or forever).
Ten, yep ten years ago I delivered you MacKie. How was I to know then what you'd mean to me today? For so long you were our everything and only thing, yet though it would seem impossible, dividing the love between you and your sisters created even more love. In short, that is the one word I have for you. I love you more than I can describe and/or show. I love the way you love your sisters. I'm in awe of your work ethic, intellect, beauty, faith, kind and gentle spirit, and humor. In truth, I want to be like you when I grow up.
I very much enjoyed getting to spend time with you today. It reminded me of how easy and simple things were before the girls - going shopping on the whim - so up my alley! You are really so much fun to hang out with it.
Thank You for being you and for being mine. Welcome to Double Digits!

i heart faces - best face photo of 2010
So yes, I know and you know ...I've posted this pic a few times. But for me it really was my best face photo in 2010...PLUS..this is my big girls birthday week. She'll be 10 on Saturday! I'm also especially proud because when I entered my first and only Pioneer Woman photography contest - Favorite Photo, she picked this photo as one of her featured...proud moment for MWAC (mom with a camera). At any rate, here it is AGAIN.
Beginning on Tuesday afternoon, something I heart faces is trying out for the first time - they are allowing viewer voting. So if you didn't enter yourself...go find Mack's amongst the several hundred entrants and vote for her...you know...for her birthday and all :) She is entry #668.

7) at any given moment is either very quiet or very loud and chatty
8) is quite the dancer and singer, currently loving to groove to anything Barney
9) is doing so well in potty training, primarily only wetting at night.
10) reminds me so much of my sister Charmaine in looks, ways, and mannerism, it's a bit scary
11) is a picky eater but will drink just about anything.
12) looks a lot like my sister, Charmaine, uncle Tim, and Grandma Thadia Mae, but a lot of people also see
her big sister, MacKie in her too
13) is constantly looking out for her twin Nala but loves to antagonize her as well
14) retires for the night at 7:00 p.m. and is the first to rise in the mornings
15) has wonderful manners - quick to "thank you" for anything you give.
16) loves to help pickup and for that has stolen her daddy's heart!

18) wears clothing size 18 - 24 mos and has a size 5 foot
19) finally has enough hair for little pony tails

Ni", "Little Bit" and affectionally just called "eee-ah" by Nala

23) was delivered naturally and painfree 16 minutes before her twin, Nala.
24) is often complimented on her eyebrows
25) is destined to a purposeful life

20 Months Old
December 3 marked my girls 20 month birthday. That sounds so "grown up" and close to "2". Over the last month, I noticed that the girls are working harder on their communication. FINALLY FINALLY, Nala is saying Nia's name. But guess what? Now Nia isn't...or not very much anyway. Nala repeats over and over "Nawla, EEa" (Nala, Nia). The girls spend just about as much time getting along as they do pushing, shoving, sitting on one another (Nala), and biting (Nia)...all in love though :) I think that even if they weren't mine and I didn't know them, I'd know that they were sisters, only sisters fight like that and then love on eachother as bestfriends all in the same breath.
I'm excited about Christmas for them. I think it will be fun, though they still won't fully understand. I don't plan to get them very much, but I know they'll enjoy ripping the paper apart. I'm a little sad that we can't put up the tree as my big girl loves that part of the holiday, but in truth, I don't trust these girls to not knock it over and/or rip into the goodies. They get into EVERYTHING. NOTHING is safe.
Still no good shots of them together this month...which is too bad, I'd love to have had one for a Christmas card. But doesn't seem like it's going to happen this year...I could probably convince my oldest to model for me...would that be bad to just have her?? Decisions decisions when you have multiple children...
Nala has now made her bed blanket her lovey...as if we need another habit...I actually bought minature matching lovies that are sized as lovies...no they don't do the job...only this full size blanket will do. GREAT!

Teach Me How to Dougie
So yesterday, I blogged and stated that it was my nephew in the post below that first showed me the "Dougie". I got an email asking what in the world the "Dougie" dance was.
Well it is a catchy dance that you will NEVER ever see me do...but check out the video below to see a couple Glee cast members Teach Me How To Dougie. Yes, I'm a huge fan of Glee!
