Ten on Tuesday
1) We went to Zoo Lights for the 2nd year in a row.
2) The babies have been cutting teeth like crazy. In the last couple of weeks Ellie has cut 5 teeth & Audrie has cut 3 of her molars.
3) We stumbled on Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home the other day. I'd lived here 7 years and always heard of Taliesen West, but had not clue that it was his winter home..
4) My long run this week was 7.02 miles this week. Saturday is the 12 K's of Christmas, 7.5 miles. There should be lots of fun activities for the kids there too.
5) Audrie loves putting on Dad's hat. Forward, backward, to the side...she doesn't care.
6) It's official, we are going to be back in Kansas for Christmas. The trip is booked.
7) Kierland Commons has "snow" every Saturday in December. We took the girls to see Santa and for a carriage ride..however we missed the carriage ride.
8) Before Kierland, we stopped at PF Chang's for dinner. It always feels so good when people stop at your table & comment on how well behaved your kids are. There were some other kids there that were running a muck & it made me appreciate our kids.
9) We also took them to McCormick Stillman Railroad park to ride the train. They are having Holiday Light rides every night starting on the 10th. We are definitely taking the kids back for that.
10) They both love brushing their own teeth. I think Santa will probably be putting new toothbrushes in their socks.

Ten On Tuesday
1) We went to Tot Town last week...The girls had so much fun..It's a church that every other Wednesday turns their gym into a play area for kids. They have more toys than you could ever imagine, but of all the toys...guess what the girls played with most? Balls, of course!
2) Audrie pees in her potty almost every time we put her on before her bath. Think it's time to start potty training but want to wait until after the holidays.
3) Justin & I had a minor communication meltdown. I thought he was watching the girls & he thought I was watching them. Next thing we know they have their lion toy pushed right up to the toilet. They are soaked to the bone, super!
4) We decorated for Christmas. So far the girls are great with the tree. I must say I was a little worried but they've been great. Ellie was way more into helping decorate than Audrie.
5) We went by to take the lock box off of the old house in Surprise & let the girls run around where they spent 8 months or so of their life.
6) This is how we found the girls Thanksgiving morning.....just kidding Dad put them there.
7) Here is what the girls had for Turkey Day
8) And we hung stockings
9) Normally we put the tree up on Thanksgiving Day but Justin wasn't feeling great so we got to it on Sunday.
10) Everything in the girls life revolves around a ball. 2 huge round sculptures outside of Target...BALL...Balloons outside of car dealership..BALL. You get the picture!

Ten On Tuesday
1) A couple new words this week...cheese & dog. Does it really surprise anyone they say cheese?
2) We put the bunk beds back up & the girls are back in the drawer. Only they are much bigger this time!
3) I taught Ellie how to do "knuckles." She loves to give a fist pound.
4) Everyday when Daddy comes home..the girls here the garage door open. When I say, "Who's here?," Audrie says, "Daaaady!" Priceless!
5) I did my long run on Sunday...6.7 miles...now my new longest run ever.
6) Audrie has her bottom molars now
7) I had an old jar filled with jelly beans from our wedding. I decided to clean it out so I could use it & threw them in the bathroom trash can which normally migrates to the closet to keep the girls out of it. Justin was in the closet getting dressed and Audrie was with him...I ALMOST said, "make sure Audrie doesn't get in that trash." Next thing I know Audrie has about 20 three year old jelly beans in her mouth.
8) The girls got a hair cut on Sunday and they did NOT lose their curls.
9) They are becoming real buddies. Often times I find them sitting together reading a book together in a chair.
10) Happy Thanksgiving!!

1) The girls have started eating with a fork. You can get them to eat almost anything if you put it on their fork.
2) I don't know what's going on with our naps. Most days they just want a morning nap & won't take an afternoon nap. I really wish they would switch this up & skip the morning which is what most kids do...And then some days they surprise me and take both naps. I don't know, our kids must be weird.
3) Yesterday, I ran 4.6 miles which is the farthest I have ever ran in my life. Just have to make it to 7.5 miles by Dec. 11th. Oh, and then 13.2 by January 16th.
4) We are taking the girls to get a hair cut today...they need it BAD. Their hair is in somewhat of an awkward stage.
5) They have cracked our childproofing method, which is to shut the doors so they can't get in to what they aren't supposed to. Well, so much for that...Ellie can now reach the handle & freely goes in and out of closed doors.
6) Audrie cut in one molar and her second one should be here any day.
7) They have started waking each other up from naps. If one gets up first, she will go back into the room & stand at the crib and say "hi" and poke her through the crib slats until she wakes up.
8) Speaking of "Hi", this is by far Audrie's favorite word. The way that she almost sings the word is so adorable.
9) They were sitting in the chair giving each other kisses the other day & then just giggling. Now they give each other a kiss every night at bedtime.
10) They do a ton of the actions on their Baby Can Read videos. Let's see...they do arms up, look up, wave, point to your toes, point to your teeth, & touch your head to name a few.

1) Well, we are settled back at home. Unfortunately, Ellie & Audrie both caught a cold from our trip. It never fails....everytime we travel they come home sick!
2) They girls are little chatter boxes.. At 16 months,.before I forget I thought I would list all of the words that they say..It's funny that they both say the exact same list of words. ( Uh-oh, ball, cow, hi, bye, done, jump, mom dad, car, & shoes) I think that's it.
3) I'm trying to make a list of everything I want to get the girls for Christmas. I am NOT ready for Christmas.. Can it really be November already?
4) The twins love to dance. Anything that remotely has a beat, they will dance to.
5) Audrie turns everything into a phone. She puts everything up to her ear and starts talking away. I think she gets it from her Dad, since his phone is almost always attached to his ear :)!
6) They love to do the actions to the song, :"If you're happy and you know it.." they both clap their hands, stomp their feet, & put their arms in the air for "hooray."
7) The other day Ellie carried around her Frog, "Tad" for over an hour. She just kept hugging it, kissing it & dancing with it..She would squeeze him and sway back and forth while she looked right in his eyes...So funny! She would not put it down.
8) I'm still training for a couple of upcoming races. I'm going to do the 12K's of Christmas in December & the Rock N Roll Half Marathon in January. I'm really excited!
9) Starting to think about potty training the girls, but will probably wait until after Christmas.
10) I signed up for another photography class...can't wait to get started.. A big thanks to my Mom for getting me registered. Their were over 1500 people on the wait list & the class filled in 1 minute. I was on the flight home so Mom got me all signed up. Thanks Mom!

Ten On Tuesday
Well, we are back from Kansas so today's post will be just some of the things we did on our trip.
1) We went to a great park/zoo in Independence with Grandma Rollins.. The girls had a blast being able to go wherever they wanted.. Later in the week we went back and rode the little train there & also the carousel. Mom & Dad didn't do so well on the carousel...as soon as it started going around we were looking for ways to bail off :)!
2) We saw lots of cows at Grandpa & Grandma Rollins' now the twins both say "cow." They both liked them until one got a little too close to Audrie when we went out with Kenny to feed. She got spooked when one was pretty much nose to nose with her.
3) They LOVED riding the 4 wheeler. As soon as they heard it, they wanted on.
4) Their Aunt Paula brought them a teeter totter that belonged to she & my mom. They too, are identical twins. The girls will have many hours of fun to come on it. So sentimental, too! Justin & Kenny are in the process of restoring it a bit...they cut new seats, etc
5) The girls went to their first Lyons High School football game...we didn't stay long, but they went. We also got the chance to see their cousin London play baseball! We had a lot of fun at the game!
6) While we were in Wichita we got to visit our friends Dawn & Casey. The girls had a great time playing with their little girl Kenzie!
7) The girls got to see their Uncle Shannon while we were in Wichita, too. Shannon & I took the girls to dinner & everyone kept thinking he was the Dad. The girls weren't on their best behavior...normally they don't make a peep at restaurants...they just people watch. But I guess they though they could get away with it since Justin wasn't there.
8) On the last Saturday we were there, my cousin Anna had everyone over to her house for a little Halloween party. Anna plays the piano and the girls loved sitting down and banging the keys with her.
9) On Halloween we went to Chanute and trick-or-treated with Madi & Molly. The twins had a blast..it was so fun watching them run around the streets. Audrie was Strawberry Shortcake & Ellie was Lemon Meringue.
10) While we had a great time and it was fantastic to spend time with family...we are also so...very...glad...to be home! I'll have lots more pictures to come, I just have to finish going through all 350 of them!
