For as long as I live I never ever want to hear this again.

I Bribed them to Smile Like This
Originally uploaded by Sarah606
I took about 60 bad pictures and finally I said “If you both smile nicely at the camera, I will give you each a piece of candy.”
They can be quite charming when it comes to getting things that they want.

I couldn’t get them to both smile at the camera at the same time, but this was no problem.

Part of my plan to potty train The Goon Squad is bribery. Gabe prints (or technically in this case, Grandma printed them up because we were at her house on July 1st) up two calendars each month. One for each kid. Every time somebody pees or poops in the potty they get a sticker.
You know how “they” say that is is easier to potty train girls than boys?
Check out The Goon Squad’s potty training calendars for July through the 8th:
Belive the hype.

Any and all compliments on the new look should be directed towards Karen. She saved me after I accidentally deleted the link to my blogroll. She is the Goddess of all things blog.

Yes, my children know the difference between a Flying V and a SG.Last time Beth and Mia came over to play I’m pretty sure Ian gave Beth the devil horns. (Well, either that or he was trying to ward off the evil eye).The Guitar Hero thing is becoming a family obsession.

Goodbye, “Terrible Twos”.
Hello “Terrible Threes”.
We are just having a very small family get together this evening for the Goon Squad’s birthday. Pictures should follow. We bought them digital cameras, so you never know what kind of pictures you are going to get.
If I don’t get a chance to talk to you tomorrow, Happy Mother’s Day to all of you moms out there.

My friend Angie (from way up in Alaska) just sent me the greatest quote:
“There are two things in life for which we are never truly prepared: twins”. Josh Billings North Platte Neb. Telegraph.

Ian: It’s my birthday.
Claudia: No, it’s MY birthday.
Ian: MY BIRTHDAY!
Claudia: MY BIRTHDAY!
Me: YOU ARE TWINS! You have the SAME EXACT BIRTHDAY. Go to sleep!
(sigh)
It’s been a really long day.
They did quite well in the car for about six hours. I really can’t complain about that, but ever since we stopped they’ve been sort of nutty. Now they are cracking each other up. I’ll be honest, I don’t even know what they are talking about anymore. Maybe they do have a secret twin language after all.
It’s 9:17 and they are still wide awake. I guess I’m going to have to go lie down with them to get them to sleep.
Rats.
(I’m still not clear on how to type sarcasm. You guys understood that I actually want to go to sleep, right?)
Oh, and thanks for rooting for Ohio State. I think it will help with my traffic situation in the morning.
