Between the babies napping only intermittently, and taking up to two hours to go to sleep at night, I haven’t had much time to catch up on the blog recently. I completely forgot to mention that we went to the pumpkin patch again last weekend, and this time we were able to take my mom [...]

Scissorwork

I bought some scissors a while back (“safe for children over 5″) and started letting the twins practice cutting paper under supervision.

Contractors are here for the next few days, [...]
