Twins: Three Months

This last month has brought more sleep and more smiles (for both me and the girls). Sadie and Samantha usually will wake up only one time during the night to eat, usually between 3:00 and 4:00 but if I am lucky they will sleep until 5:30.

The girls are starting to find their voices, especially when they smile. They are super smiley in the mornings and love when we talk to them.  Of course when I try and take pictures they completely stop smiling.

 At their last wellness visit Sammy weighed 10.1 pounds and Sadie weighed 9.13 pounds.

Make Your Own Homemade Ice Cream in a Bag

What's better than homemade ice cream? How about letting your kids make it? Brody loves being able to make his own ice cream. It's super easy to make and because it's mixed in plastic bags it doesn't make a big mess and there isn't much to clean up. It's a great activity, to send the kids outside to make their own ice cream in a bag and in the end they get to eat yummy ice cream!

Ice Cream in a Bag
1 cup half & half
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup rock salt
ice cubes

Instructions: place half & half, vanilla and sugar in a quart sized ziplock bag. Make sure bag is closed. Place quart sized bag in a gallon sized ziplock bag. Pour rock salt in the gallon sized bag and fill 1/2 way with ice. Close bag and shake until the mixture hardens. Take the small bag out of the larger bag and enjoy! You can eat right out of the baggie or pour into a cup. Don't forget to add sprinkles or toppings.

A Few Things

1) Keeping up with blogging while caring for two babies and a four year old is challenging! At least I am getting good at holding two babies at the same time.

2) I just don't get the whole Google+ thing. Can someone explain it to me?

3) I love my new Little Snowie shaved ice machine I got for Mother's Day!

4) I have been trying out City Lash eye lash enhancer and have to say I feel like my eyelashes have become fuller.

5) I am slightly addicted to Instagram. Why didn't I join earlier?
You can follow me on Instagram here if you want.

6) Brody's Union Jack and Queens Guard pajamas and rain boots came in the mail last week. I love them!
