- Everyone had the flu, except me (Tiffanie)
- Melanie had it the worst, ended up with strep which left spots on her face :(
Conversation with Connor
Do you hear the airplane outside?
ehh pane!
Yeah, airplane
No. He ka ka.
No, it wasn't a helicopter, it was an airplane.
No, he ka ka.
No, it wasn't a helicopter, it was an airplane.
(laughing now) He ka ka!
So later that night I'm putting him in bed.
And I'm rubbing his belly and he looks at me. He starts smiling and says, He ka ka!
I was cracking up!

Connor got mad at me last night. Someone was stinky and I said "Did you poop?" He said no.
I still looked and he jerked away from me and said "No! Pee pee!"
He only had pee, no poop.

11/2 - M & C were being NUTSO last night
C started squatting down and swinging his arms like a gorilla and going huh huh huh
And he was making himself laugh so hard he kept falling down
he'd stand up to do it again, but just the thought of it would make him start laughing again.
Melanie copied him and was cracking up too.
11/4 - This is how kids convince their parents to do things.
C, pointing at TV: Peppa
Me: No Peppa right now. Let's play with something.
C, bringing me the remote: Peppa.
I take the remote.
C: Thank you.
How can I resist!?!?
11/12 - On days like today, I am humbled & remember one of the many reasons why I married my Jason. I got to work and noticed he had called me 13 times. My ringer was off. I called back & he asked if I had both van keys (he takes our 19m twins to daycare in the morning). I checked & could only find his key in my purse. He said he'd keep looking. I went out to check my car. I didn't have the other one. 10 minutes later he called me back & said he found it. I apologized 1,000 times.
Reverse the situation and I would have been SO MAD and totally freaking out about being late for work, having 2 grumpy babies already in the car. He was calm, didn't say anything mean, and he was like, no big deal, I found it. I love you, see you tonight.
I feel so bad I am still upset. And completely humbled. I definitely owe him.
11/15 - Melanie, Teresa, & I were at the Wild Horse Outlet mall. The song Happy by Pharrell was on. I saw Melanie looking around her stroller to find a place to put her bagel, She stuck it in the pocket and then started dancing in her seat. People were cracking up at her. She loves music.

September-October 2014
9/7 - Jason & I were eating fajitas. Melanie was crying to Jason for food, who kept telling her that it was too spicy (they had already eaten dinner). Connor came over to me and pointed at my food and grunted. I give him a piece of my tortilla & he walked over & gave it to Melanie. She was very happy. :)
9/16 - Melanie and I went to Walmart for some groceries. She waved at a bunch of people & said HI and when we were leaving said Bye Bye to the cashier. :)
10/11 - Went to Oktoberfest at Tempe Beach Park and listened to a live band, then rode our first carousel.
10/14 - C got Hep A vaccine and flu shot.
Connor got some vaccinations today, but Melanie didn't because she was running a fever. In the tub tonight, she ripped off one of his bandaids, which sent him into hysterics. Both of them tried to get it to stick back on. Then she poked him in the eye and ripped off his other bandaid. Poor guy had it rough tonight
10/18 - Megan & Aaron came for a visit with Indy & Chewie. The babies love the puppies. They both call them "puppas." Too many P words in our little lives right now! Papa (Bud), Peppa, & puppas.
10/19 - Tiffany Diamond & Tiffany Reed came over to hang out with Megan & I. We ate pizza and drank a little wine & talked a lot. Amia spent the night with us. The babies love Megan sooooo much!
10/19 - M & A went home. Amia played with the babies a lot. It was kind of relaxing having one more kid there! In the afternoon we went to Ak-Chin Casino & Resort to go swimming with M & C. They had nice areas for them to play in the water & a swim up bar.
10/31 - Halloween was fun. During the day they dressed at a cowboy & cowgirl and that night they were light up stick figures. We went trick-or-treating with the neighbors (Jennifer, Manny, Josie, Maya, & Wes Alvarado).

Connor looks at Melanie last night & says, "Hifive"
she puts her hand up
he stares at her in astonished amazement
walks toward her slowly
and slowly touches his hand to hers
and they both start screaming & cracking up
