| It's that time of day... |
We were recently paid a visit by friends who also have boy/girl twins and were asked when the most difficult part of the day typically occurs. Without hesitation, we all agreed that the hours of 4:00-6:00 PM are when things get CRAZY. Apparently with twins, you get everything in two's, and that includes two hours of trouble during the 'witching hour'.
Twins that typically frolic on the Play Pad...
are now having fits on the floor.
The once popular Boppy pillows...
are suddenly filled with rocks.
The good 'ole Bumbo...
becomes a big bummer.
Even the latest play fad, the 'Jumparoo'...
can't satisfy either twin at this time of day.
As a stay at home dad, the 'witching hour'(s) often proves to be a disastrous finish to what might have otherwise been a stress-free day with two infants.

| Is it over yet??? |
 |
| Trig wonders the same thing while hiding in the stairwell! |
 |
| Finally!! |
Alas, 6:00 finally arrives, and it's time to turn those frowns upside down. In only a matter of seconds, literally, those screams of terror change
into the beautiful sound of silence.
 |
| Why didn't you just feed me earlier?? |
 |
| Schedule Schmedule! |
Can't wait to start sleep training this week!!

In other news, I would like to acknowledge that Clare and Luke are now 4 months old. Somehow, another month has FLOWN by. We took the twins to their 4 month check up this past week. Both are healthy and doing very well.
 |
| Luke's up to 14 lbs 11 oz and 24.75 inches long... |
 |
| ...and Clare's grown to 11 lbs 13 oz and 24.25 inches long |
So, Clare gained about 2.5 pounds and Luke gained 3.5 pounds in the last two months. We have definitely noticed their gains (especially carrying around Luke's car seat!).
 |
| At the 2 month checkup... |
 |
| ...and at this week's 4 month checkup |
While this pair of photos may not make things appear drastically different, Chris recently compared two photos of the twins with their Boppy pillows that amazed both of us.
 |
| THEN...more Boppy than baby |
 |
| NOW...more baby than Boppy |
