Twins

I love having twins, but I swear they are slowly driving me bonkers. When I was pregnant with them I read everything about twins and what to expect, and boy my girls are nothing like anything I read. They don't get along, they never had their own language, heck for the most part they really don't like each other. We had hoped that moving them into their own bedrooms and giving them their own space would help them learn to get along and appreciate each other. WRONG!!!!

They are on spring brerak this week, so Dave and I thought we would plan some fun activities for them and take advantage of some of the things Florida has to offer other than Disney. Today was the only Disney day we planned and we went to Animal Kingdom. We always try to do what the girls want to see and do at the parks. We wernt even at the park an hour and the girls were fighting, we dont just get arguing ir bickering we get fighting...and then of course when we discipline them the major ATTITUDES start.

I dont know about any of you. but I dont think our attitudes were ever as big as my girls seem to be (and its not just them) I work with 6,7,8 th graders regulary and I am appaled at the attitude the way these kids treat teachers and volunteers and know that our you know whats would have been grass, and my kids know better but yet they still act this way, because they see other kids acting that way and getting away with it. I follow thru with my punishments so my kids know we mean buisness, but alas it doesnt seem to penetrate past the punishment.

They each get their one on one time with Dave and I, they are so different and we treat them different. Punishments and rewards are adapted to each girl. I am so wore out from being a constant referee, uggggg

Ok I have ranted enough..if you have made it this far thanks!!!

Exhausting

WOW..what a busy few weeks, we enjoyed our cruise, but it was back to the grindstone this week. The girls had their last religious ed classes this week. We are looking forward to them making their first Communion in May..my babies are growing up. Flordia is growing on me, the girls and I love it, Dave isnt happy, but hey we shall see. I love being so close to Disney,beaches, and such. There is so much to do!! The kids are on spring break this week( they have spring week the week before the rest of the US here so that the local kids are in school when the mobs decend on Fl). We have some great activities planned..we are going to goto Animal Kingdom, the beach and this great sounding state park JoAnn found out about. I am sure I will have plenty of pictures after!!!!

This blogging is pretty new to me,we'll see if I can keep up!!!
