@Smurfette: We just paid someone to deal with our leaves (and mow our lawn one more time before it snows) and I am soooooo glad. But it cost $250!!! Gahhhh! Can't decide if that was money well spent or not, but I'm glad not to have to deal with it myself, haha.

Also.... now that most of our babies are 8 months, is it time to start the March Mamas & Babies: 2/3 Done! thread???
-
@Adira: Well our leaves are still falling. We have huge old trees and at least 10 in the yard. We don't really have grass (years of renters so it died) just a lot of weeds that we have to mow. So at least the last time, DH could mow the leaves cause we weren't worried about it ruining the grass. Won't be able to do it last year.
-
@Smurfette: We did that one year - just mowed up the leaves and mulched the yard with it, but it looked like hell when the snow all melted, haha. Oops. Luckily our grass didn't really suffer from it! But we try not to do it again!
-
@Adira: I already told DH he won't be doing it next year if we spend all this money laying sod this spring!
-
@Adira: How is that possible??? I can't believe we'll all have one year olds in just a few short months.
We took E to daycare and I'm praying he is healthy enough to stay. F is home with Grandma today. I'm hoping he'll be on the mend soon.
Apparently, being sick has not slowed these boys down from hitting physical milestones. A couple weekends ago, in the span of one morning, they both started actually crawling, instead of scooting, climbing on top of things, & pulling up on everything. Today, Finn finally figured out how to get himself to a sitting position, but E's not quite there yet. It's crazy how nothing really changes for a while, and then suddenly they make tons of huge jumps all at once. Crazy babies.
I think I'm going to start doing some planning for their birthday so that I maybe have a chance of getting a party put together if I do a little bit here and there through the holidays and Jan. & Feb. March is one of my two busiest work months, and DH's birthday is only 5 days after the boys, so I know I can't save it to the last minute.
As for the holidays, I'm SO excited even though I know they won't remember any of this. I agree that it just feels different now that we have kids.

@Mrs. Blue: *cries* They're growing up so fast!!!! Poor sick babies! I hope they feel better soon!!! And I can't believe they're crawling and that F is already pulling up into sitting!! Xander's woefully behind some of these March babies, haha. I guess him and Liam (@dojo:) will just have to hang out together rolling around.
OMG, birthdays!!! I think I know what theme I want to do, but I wonder if I should really start thinking about this already!!! it seems so soon, but then again, December is going to fly by with the holidays and then their birthdays will almost be upon us!
-
@Adira: Seriously, it can happen in a matter of hours! They went from just scooting around and only pulling up in their cribs to being doing all of that in one morning. One morning! Gah. It does seem early for birthdays, but I know that Jan. & Feb. will be my only calmer monthsz. Since I can't even manage to get my house clean, laundry done, etc. during a "calm" month, I've decided I need to start at least making a plan now!
-
@Mrs. Blue: Glad that E is feeling better! I hope F joins him at day care tomorrow.
It is crazy how fast the change. Last Thursday R wouldn't walk with the walker and then she did like she has been for weeks on Sunday for me. DH said that it was all the QT Daddy-daughter time.
I am working on her birthday. I actually just made a list this morning. If we invite just family, 30 adults and 13 kids, and if we add close friends the total is 50 adults and 21 kids. Crazy town. Not that everyone would make it, but I think we still need to seriously sit down and talk about just inviting family. Which I hate. I want my friends and their kids there too.@Adira: We could start a new thread! Go for it!
