Daylight Savings Time

Mr. Mischievious
Do they make these any bigger, Mom?

I think our week has pretty much revolved around the time change that occurred last Sunday. I say that because it took us until Thursday to finally be back on our "normal" routine. I never would have imagined an hour would make a difference, but it did for us. The boys alternated waking up an hour early each morning this week which made for some very long long days for mom. In addition, they always seemed to be more hungry and more tired than normal which was followed by being more cranky than normal. On top of that, we were teething and recovering from ear infections so I would not say it was one of our better weeks. We had another playdate this week with our Multiples group and enjoyed several rides in the stroller courtesy of the 70 degree temps in Minnesota. The temperature, however, dropped last night and we had snowflakes this morning. The boys also went to vote for the first time and thankfully we walked right in with no wait whatsoever. We are also preparing the house somewhat as the boys become more mobile. Luke is still not really crawling, but pulls up on everything and has very quick hands. Liam is all over the place and very quiet and fast. I read something in a book this week that I thought was good in terms of dealing with personal possessions that could be broken and/or permanently disfigured (for lack of a better word) during this period when your kids start getting into things...."don't cry over anything that can't cry over you." I am not sure that we have that many items that cannot be replaced easily, but that seems to keep things in perspective.
