My crazy story for the day

A guy cut me off today, which is one of my pet peeves, you were the idiot who didn't pay attention to the signs... Just take it and make a u-turn, or at least wait for someone to let you in.
Gainesville traffic is way better than South Florida, but that almost makes me more upset when people drive uncourteously here, because its not "just how everyone drives."
So this old guy in a van just like mine hadn't realized he'd been in a turn only lane and tried to merge over, but wasn't going in front of me, he was just going into the side of me. Like about to hit the side of my van. So I honked and braked, and then as he just kept going and pulled in front of me, I honked some more. For about 30 seconds. I refrained from yelling, because Nicholas was in the car, but I was mad.
So I grabbed a bag of baby carrots out of my purse and rolled down the window. I was biting off proper chunks to throw out the open window at his car when I realized I was about to cross a line of craziness that was probably not ok. Up to this point, the idea of crazy hadn't even occurred to me. So I debated in my mind wether I was mad enough to go there or not, rolled the window back up and ate my carrots.
Am I proud of myself for not throwing carrots at an old man and his old wife in their minivan? Yes. Do I get to be proud of myself for anything at this point? No, probably not. Truth is wether I did it or not, I WAS that crazy and there was nothing I could have done about it anyway. Luckily the hormones subsided or something and it didn't happen but either way I will always have a pretty funny story about how I almost did a pretty funny thing. I mean CARROTS?! REALLY?! WHO DOES THAT??!!??!!

Bubbles in the Park

Here is a little video of him romping around, but he was talking a lot so I thought it was fun to share. If you aren't a grandparent though, I'll understand if 4 minutes is too long. Maybe I'll make a condensed version for non-grandparents. :)

17 week belly

Tyler was making me laugh.

ABCs

We got Nicholas an alphabet toy on Amazon because he wan't showing any interest in the letters. He loves them now, and will randomly pick one that he points out everywhere. The first letter he learned to recognize was Q, I thought that was funny!

Anyway, he loves to sing the ABC song too, it's one of his favorites. He pushes the button and says "Mommy sing!" "Daddy sing!" This was one of the first times I caught him actually singing with it, I don't know how well you can hear him, but he got close on a few parts! :)

Here are some other pictures of our goings on lately, on MLK day. I just haven't been updating very often because I'm a bit distracted with other things.

This is a little cream cheese mustache!

Twin progress

Here are the ultrasound pictures from my doctor visit today. 

This one is cute, this little guy is doing a faceplant. His head is on the right side, and he is face down so if you look closely you can see where his little mouth and nose are, and then down on the other end his legs are bent all cute. 

This little guy is facing the other way. His head is on the left side, and then you can see his ribs some, and then his feet are tucked up under him, so you can see his thigh there.

Everything is looking good and they are doing well, so now we just wait until next month. On Valentine's day we'll find out what sexes they are!

Week 13

Christmas Day

On Christmas morning we woke Nicholas up at about 6:15 because Tyler couldn't wait any longer and because we figured we needed to get started if we were going to make it on time to 9am church. Nicholas usually needs a little bit of time before he is willing to socialize, but we figured the excitement of presents would override any grumpiness. He got distracted by a gift he had opened the night before though, on his way to the tree and so since we were trying to usher him to the new presents he thought we weren't going to let him play with Thomas train. You'll see his reaction. Eventually though we got the reaction we were hoping to see, it just took about 3 presents to get there!





Here are some other pictures from the day as well.

This is the face he made when I said "Smile!!"

After church both boys were so tired that they fell asleep on the couch! It's normal for Tyler, but Nicholas never does that! :)
