I hope (and I'm sure) you made it up the mountain! And the rest after you've come back down is nice. We don't have stairs, but I know what you're saying. Sometimes the hallway to the kids' rooms looks like a marathon course.

 

I so hear you Shana! The stairs and my exhaustion are a mount Everest at times. Luckily tonight my kids fell asleep in the car...then I just had to carry them all inside, but I was able to avoid the stairs! I hope you eventually made it up there and they didn't tear their rooms and each other apart!

 

You totally deserve to be the one manning the base camp. Let your climbing partner tackle the mountain for awhile.

 

Bed time is the hardest time of the whole day! Iguess its because you've already worked so hard all day long. The kids are cutest when they are asleep though!
Also, your twin are so cute! Happy Birthday to them!

 

"Here comes your mother, oh how slow. She's big as an ox, of course you know. Her weary knees cree-eek as she clomps along. Cree-eek, cree-eek, cree-eek, cee-eek is her song." Now you know how I felt as I climbed those stairs at night. When I was pregnant I would tell your dad, before I started up the stairs, "That's it for tonight. I'll be staying upstairs. I cannot climb them one more time!" And I would STAY upstairs...comfortably tucked away in my room.

I love the stories of the twins. It is totally wonderful how they are "connectied". Our good friend Birgid said that it was very hard on one of her twins when the other recently married. I know going on missions was hard for them too. Looks like your boys will be the same.
