Friday morning for me was quite busy, it all started with Joel unfortunately not being able to find any keys at 4:30 in the morning! I groggily go downstairs, and just take the set off of mine and give it to him-who knows where the other set is at this point. I crawl back in bed and about an hour later I hear Casey up, it's only 5:45 am. I try to pretend I don't hear him but know I might as well get up soon and go to the grocery store, before they go to school. We certainly don't want any child to go without eating cereal for a morning.
Being that Mikaila was going to be receiving a student of the month award at school at 9:15, I already had planned on them going to school late. As I'm in tow with the twins in their cafeteria, I quickly realize I don't see Camden!! At first I thought Quinn was with him sitting down with his class-nope! I'm beginning to get a little panicky and start looking for him and telling Mikaila's teacher that I don't see him!! She actually was the one to find him-thank God! I now have both of them with me sitting on the cafeteria floor, until Camden decides to get up and walk out of the caf. doors-ok. that means I have to leave Casey and run after Camden! Then I want to get a picture of Mikaila and her award-that means leaving them for 30 seconds again. Are you beginning to catch on, it's kind of difficult w/ 2 two year olds against 1 mom! We get home, I put them down for their nap, thinking they got up early and should sleep a long time-hmmm.. I'm outside and I see the door open with Camden handing the phone to me saying"here Mommy" Why was he already up?-An hour nap!!!! When Mamma's not happy, nobody's happy!
Soooooo,
We had to have a little family meeting that night to discuss DAILY chores, not just sometimes. Thank you for everyone pitching in, it really does make a huge difference. Ok...I'm done.

I am sorry to hear you are feeling overwhelmed. It must be hard with the twins, you do an amazing job! I hope your family meeting worked!
Courtney's been saying that when she has kids, she wants twins. Maybe you should have her babysit a few times. =}
Hang in there...before you know it the boys will be in school and you'll probably go nuts because it's too quiet around the house.
See you guys on Saturday?
Wow!!! I still want twins even after reading your story! So....we have tried the family meeting a couple times and it generally produces results for at least a period of time. Then we have to meet again to remind everyone (boys) of what was said at the last family meeting. I can tell you that my boys had extremely abbreviated chores yesterday (cuz we had Tim/Shawnie and family to dinner and I wanted to get the downstairs done before the boys even got out of school) and they STILL didn't do a great job. We will be discussing that sometime soon when I am not so tired. For right now, I have to do some stuff and then get a nap before mine get home from school
How about if I come out on Friday Morning after I drop off the kids and play with the boys for the day while you go have some girl time somewhere? I would love to! Let me know...
