Separation Anxiety

The babies have developed a little separation anxiety. I don't remember it ever being so bad with any of the boys, but it could just be that it's harder when there are two little widgets following you to the door crying.

And when I get home-holy guacamole!

Jake and Jack still usually run out to greet me. And the babies are standing at the door, already crying to be picked up. I secretly like it a little that they are so happy to see me. But I need to remember to use the restroom before I leave work, because it takes forever to get a chance once I get home.

Today they were especially clingy. I bribed them with "cookies" (animal crackers) so I could get the lasagna in the oven. They ate so many though, that I'm sure that part of the problem was just that they were hungry. And they still ate a TON of lasagna. Like, an impressive amount.

All in all, there are worse problems to have.

    (See her little leg sticking out? Silly girl.)

When in doubt...

I don't know about you all, but the way I was raised, anytime something bad happens, make a casserole. Someone sick? Make a casserole. Someone die? Make a casserole. Someone sad? Make a casserole.

Heck, not even just bad stuff. Someone have a baby? Make a casserole. You get the idea.

And casserole can mean, dinner, cake, pie...whatever.

So, our friend Thomas' dad passed away. That's a lasagna right there. I just don't know what else to do, but I wanted them to know we were thinking about them. Plus I make a damned good lasagna, if I do say so myself.

I ended up making 3 lasagnas (2 full, 2 half), Swiss steak, prepped for fajitas later this week (cut peppers and onions to freeze) and homemade chicken pot pie (yay-no peas). I love to cook.

What do you do when tragedy strikes? What have you picked up that your mom used to do?

Piggies

I pin-curled Abby's hair today before her nap. Just so her piggies wouldn't stick straight out from her head. I think I'll get better with practice. Still pretty cute, though.

 And in the interest of being fair, here's one of Avery and his "cheese-face."

 And Jack and his "Mommmm, I'm trying to concentrate face."

The Zoo!

Randy took the kids to the zoo today. I was busy at work and was kind of sad to miss it, since it was the twins' first time. It was nice for Randy to get to be the good guy for a change though. Usually the fun stuff is my idea.

I pre-packed the new camera, but then he took a different diaper bag. So the only pics were from his phone. Oh well. Can't complain too much. Most daddies aren't brave enough to take 4 kids on an outing. (Jacob is still in Texas.)

St. Patty's Day

We made a quick trip to the park after work, since it was so nice. Here are a few pics.

Surprise...the princess didn't want to touch the dirt. 

Wednesday's Post

I have tried to post this video 3 times now. I hope this works.

I met the kids & Randy at the new IHOP in Catoosa for lunch. The babies started playing peekaboo, but by the time I got the camera out, they had switched to a Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil version.

Pictures!

I finally got the babies pictures back. I say "finally" but it was actually pretty quick. They're really good, but there are sooooo many to choose from!  Check them out at www.sheacaseyphotography.com  Go to Clients, then find our album. The password is annissa.
