MDO advice

I need every mothers advice that has had her kids in Mothers Day Out. I am just wondering how the twins will adjust. They will be 20 months old when they start and I know that is a good age... well I at least think it is but my kids are very shy and attached to me. I am freaking out that the first day they are in MDO that I will get a call 30 minutes later asking me to come pick them up because they wont stop crying. Does every mother go through this? I am not worried about leaving them or that they are not ready I am worried about them not adjusting well. Any one out there have really attached kids that went to MDO and did fine?

This and That...

Not a whole lot going on. Last weekend we went to the lake to get a change of scenery since we have been stuck inside with sick kids. It was good for about a day. They kiddos went crazy and we headed back home. Good news is... everyone is WELL.
Now I need some advice.
1. how to get rid of Brandon's paci
2. what to do about the boys not wanting to play together. Brandon will try and play with John but John seems scared of Brandon, he screams when he get close. How can I help this?


Here are some updated pictures of the back patio... its almost done :-)



We are putting cabinets next to the grill
This is the pattern we are using for the outdoor kitchen

August... where has the time gone?

I can not believe that it is August, I really can't. This month I have to shop for things for mothers day out. That is just freaking me out. In a month the boys will be playing 2 days a week without me. I am super excited yet very nervous about the whole thing. I think I might even start tennis lessons while they are away!

Not much has been happening these last two days but here is an update anyways. Brian and I have decided to build a covered porch. We have been debating about it for a long time now since we know this is not the home we will be in forever we were wondering if it was worth it. We do know that we will be here for at least another 3-4 years so we gave it a GO.

Here is the work in progress...



Had to include these blackmail pictures of Brandon

Also a year in the making. We got these pictures taken last October and finally hung them on the wall.
