Twinami


We've been getting hit by natural disasters nearly every day here on the Island, or at least in *our* home. Don't worry, no one has been injured, and the house has held up well.

Similar in effect to the dreaded (and far more dangerous) Tsunami, we have been subjected to countless Twinamis over the last 7 months. Today, I managed to snap a photo just after one hit. Just *look* at the damage!

Clean up is usually quick.

Twins Version 1.20


We installed an update today to Twins version 1.20. It is amazing to think that the girls have been with us for a mere 7 months, yet it feels like we have been together since version 0 and above.

Version 1.20 is full of new features. Their mess making features are top-notch as are their language skills! I actually read a magazine article today that endorsed learning to live with toddler messes, and that making messes is a good thing for kids. Where was that article when I was growing up? It could have explained a lot to my parents. :)

Anyway, the kids are becoming little clowns (especially Olivia). We are having loads of fun!

Dr. Jones

I've been hearing rumors about this for years, and now they have been validated. In 2008, Dr. Indiana Jones is back!

Check it out by clicking here.

Now if they would only announce there will be another Star Wars trilogy...

A Moment of Irony

While working from home today, and listening to my music collection via iTunes, I got distracted from my work for a moment by a song that began skipping. Some of the CDs I transferred to the PC didn't come across entirely intact, thus they skip a bit. I keep telling myself I need to make a list of these songs, and then one day I will fix them.

Anyway, I found it a little ironic that the song that diverted my attention was in fact a Garbage song called "Fix me now".

Back to work...

Wonder Twin Powers...


Activate!

Form of...recent pics of the twins on my Flickr site.

You would most likely have to be a GenXer to recall that reference. Interestingly enough, our wonder twins can shape shift from happy toddlers to fit-throwing monsters with their magic twin power rings, although I've never *actually* seen the rings.

Most of the time they are really sweet, happy girls. I spent some good "dad" time with the kids today while momma was out with one of her pals who was also getting in some adult time away from her chilluns'.

We messed the house up, and ate a ton of cookies. It was great!

OK...we each had our two cookie limit, but we did mess the house up.

Well...it be late, I'm sleepy, and I need to get as much rest as possible before the girls sound the wake up call at 6 am. Ugh...
