Life With 2 Under 2

Here’s a few questions to get to know us here at 2 Wired 2 Tired a little better. Do you cook every night? I don’t. If you call making grilled cheese sandwiches cooking then I guess that could be bumped up to maybe. I do enjoy cooking but sometimes I don’t have the energy, ingredients, [...]

Logan Has Legs

Growing up, whenever I was feeling lazy and didn’t want to go get something or throw something away, I would ask my mom to do it. She always responded with, “You have legs.” What she meant was, “No way, do it yourself.” Lately I’ve found myself saying this frequently to my kids for the same [...]

Toddler Talk – Naptime

I need to stop adding posts to this blog at naptime, I definitely have a theme going here. I promise tomorrow’s post will not have anything to do with naptime, but this one was too cute to pass up. Sometimes before bed the kids will talk and play for awhile before they fall asleep. Lately their routine [...]

Another Naptime Story

It’s now 3 pm. Logan and Kora have been in bed for an hour. Kora fell asleep about 20 minutes ago. Logan is looking at books and playing with his buddies/stuffed animals. Just now he started singing in a remarkably clear voice, “Happy Birthday to Kora.” He sang the whole thing a couple of times [...]

Logan Can Sleep Anywhere

Since the last post was about the kids sleeping, I have to tell/show you that Logan can sleep anywhere. In fact, we have a folder on our computer under “My Pictures” labeled “Logan Sleeping.” The kid is too funny. Thought I would share a few photos: This wasn’t really a funny place, but it was [...]

Trouble With 2 Toddlers At Bedtime

a4

It’s naptime around here and I just went into the kids room for the third time to tell Kora and Logan to stop talking and go to sleep. They share a room because of the funky layout of our house. To be honest, I don’t think we thought the floorplan through when we bought this [...]

When Was The Last Time You Did This?

There’s just something about watching a toddler roll down a hill that always makes me smile! Did you like this? Share it:

Monday Photo Montage #2

The good news is by playing around a bit on Photobucket, I was able to make a snappy little slideshow of the kids.. It’s a collection of cute photos of them throughout the last year. I’ll keep adding and deleting photos from it to keep it fresh. Did you like this? Share it:

Thoughtful Thursday – Toddlers Eating, Milk, & The Weather

a4

1. Why does it take Kora 25 minutes to eat one slice of french toast. Isn’t that what they serve in old folks homes to people without many teeth?  I know this is a cookie and not toast, but thought it was a cute picture! 2. Have you ever noticed how disgusting the bottom of [...]

The Kids Are Off the Juice

Juice

When Kora stayed at my mom’s a couple weeks back, my mom was out of fruit juice. She figured she would run out to the store that night and pick some up. I told her no rush, that if she didn’t have any just tell Kora that and let her know she could have milk [...]

The Tomatoes Are Coming! The Tomatoes are Coming!

Tomatos

We are being overrun by four tomato plants. Dave planted a garden with four 6-inch plants that have grown in such monsters, I’m slightly afraid they are going to overshadow our house soon. 15 minutes ago, I went out and picked a new batch of ripe ones. This is what I came back in with: [...]

A Rough Day and a Revelation

Angry Cat

What do you do when everything makes you angry and you feel like all you are doing is yelling at the kids? Yesterday morning was one of my worst mornings with the kids in a long time. Every little thing that came out there mouths was in that grating whine, toddlers have perfected. I found [...]

Thankful Thursday

Today I’m thankful for: – the absolutely magnificent weather. I love days like today, they truly make me feel good. – the beach. My favorite place in the world. – my old doggie pulling through his recent operation/procedure. We were a bit worried how he would handle the anesthetic and even though I grumble about [...]

Thank You Blogger!

I just wanted to take a minute to thank Blogger for providing the automatic “Save” feature. I wrote yesterday’s post, one of the longest I’ve ever written, while pushing the end of nap time. The kids were going to wake any minute, so I quickly uploaded Avery’s picture, clicked “Done” went to the post to [...]

It’s Raining, It’s Pouring

a3

It’s been incredibly eventful around here for the last 24 hours, mostly due to this guy: Yesterday our dog Avery, went to the vet’s to get some lumps and bumps checked. He’s a cocker spaniel and with his old age, is prone to them. When they start irritating him they have to be removed. We [...]

Kora and Logan wanted to drop by the blog today and say “hi” today. Did you like this? Share it:

Blog Name Change

Just a quick note to let all my faithful followers know that I’ve changed the name of the blog. As you can see at the top it is now called 2 Toddlers and Me. The URL has changed as well. If anyone experiences problems because of this change, please let me know and I’ll do [...]

Mothers Judging Mothers

Angry Woman

Why do mothers judge each other? We are in a sisterhood of sorts which should be overflowing with shoulders to lean on and wise words of advice. Instead we pass judgments in the grocery store – “look at all the junk food in her cart, I would never feed my kids that crap,” at gymnastics [...]

Toddler Talk – Logan on the Cob

a 003

I wrote previously that we were in Michigan last week. The drive is about 3 1/2 hours. We refuse to buy a DVD player for the car, figuring the kids are exposed to enough tv as it is, even though it would probably make life so much easier. We feel that we had to use [...]

Garage Sale Highs and Lows

Garage Sale

I’ve been a little lax on the blog lately because we were visiting family in Michigan. My mom graciously offered to hold a garage sale at her house to sell all of the grandchildren outgrown clothing, toys, and furniture. When we started setting up we didn’t think it could be that daunting of a task. [...]
