These Are My Confessions

How can you not love these faces?

In response to a post at our favorite twin blog site (How Do You Do It - http://www.hdydi.com/), and Usher's song in my head, here are a few confessions I would like to get off my chest.

1. Bedtime is golden and I look forward to it every night.

2. Coffee and/or some form of adult beverage give me the strength to face certain parts of the day (breakfast/bathtime/bedtime).

3. I think Jen and I can pretty much handle anything as parents and we tend to show no mercy to other parents that are "overwhelmed" with fewer than 3 kids.

4. Whenever I have the twins by themselves and get comments on how "your hands are full", I am quick to tell them that we also have a 2 year old to make myself look like super dad.

5. I secretly like that twins are like rock stars and everyone stares at us at the mall, park, or wherever. I'm sure that will get old, but for now, I am just happy to get out of the house and think their stardom is kinda cool.

6. TV has become a babysitter in our house. Owen never watched it, but does now and it is hard not to put Parker and Jack in front of it to keep them entertained while we eat, chat, not hold a baby, etc.

7. There are numerous times my house looks like a Toys 'R Us that has been ransacked by looters. I would prefer all the toys, books, etc. be hidden and our house looked like Pottery Barn.

8. Owen knows what beer is. "Daddy's beer." "Mommy's beer." I think its cute and don't think there is anything wrong with this.

9. I think it will be so much easier when P&J are walking/talking/toddling. I know I am just fooling myself, it will be just be a different kind of hard.

10. When they are smiling and making each other laugh, I can see a bond between my boys that I am already jealous of.

Ahh, I feel better.
