We need some action around here! How is everyone doing? I was just reading through some old threads. Pam, how are the girls doing in kindergarten? We are doing great here. Alex and Bradley just turned five last week, and the birthday was a lot of fun. I had their kid party at Chuck E. Cheese...

Hi all, Does anyone here have a side by side double stroller? I have been trying to decide which to purchase...so far it's between the Inglesina and the Maclaren. I already own a Peg Perego Tender Twin (which I used for my first two children, though it looks brand new in spite of having...

I posted earlier but I don't see it. Am I doing something wrong?

Our poor multiples group. We are all so busy we don't have time anymore. I thought I'd give a quick update. Morgan and Megan turned 8 on Tuesday. Geez where does the time go? If anyone is looking for a good birthday idea try a backwards up-side down party. We had a lot of fun. I can post...

Hey, I just wanted to tell everyone that I checked out Brigitte's new site and it is pretty cool! I especially like the FOR SALE forum. I have listed a few things and already sold them! I just thought you guys might be interested. WARNING~ They can be pretty blunt and have potty mouths on...

Quick update....we had our party yesterday with the remnants of TS Jeanne blasting 7 inches of rain on us. We had a Nemo party and their cake was amazing....done up like the bottom of the ocean with Nemo figures. I have tons of pics and will get a link up soon. Where does the time...

twins born May 13. Still waking up every three-four hours at night. Tried rice cereal in formula (1 tbs each) still no chaange. What can I do?

Today was my first day back at work in over 4 years. It was just horrible. I almost broke down in tears several times throughout the day. I loved being a SAHM and I'm just having a hard time making the transition. I was at work for 11 hours today because I have so much to get done before the kids...

....seriously. I mean it. I'm out of ideas. Both Chris and Alex (15mos old) are climbers. The world is one big jungle gym. I don't know if I could keep up with *one* toddler who seemed determined to scale Mt. Everest, but with TWO... I've tried to proof the family room (where they spend most...

I was taking the "morning" shift with the kids today (schools were closed because of weather, so my dw and I had to split the work schedule). So I was at the table, playing a game with my 6 yo boy, and the girls (9 yo) were playing in the living room. I heard one of them say to the other, "Let's do...

Madison has been getting into so much trouble lately and nothing seems to be working to get her behavior to improve. In the past week-and a-half she has cut her clothes with scissors at school twice. Yesterday she got put into time-out at preschool and had a note sent home from her teacher...

Well, it's the new year and it's time to update the birthdays. So, anyone who didn't get a greeting last year or is new to the group, and would like a birthday greeting, either post the information to this thread or email me (just take out "GoAwayWorm" from my address). :-) -- Brigitte aa...

Has anyone had experiences with a change in stool color & consistency when switching from Power Mix to Concentrate or vice versa? For some strange reason when the babies are on the powder their stools are loose, mustard and very similar to that of when I breastfed them. When they're on...

Hi, I mainly lurk here but I find myself in need of advice. My girls just turned a year old and sleeping had been going more or less OK until recently. They were 6 week premature and had very bad reflux, Sonia worse than Kirsten. As a consequence they slept in either car seats, bouncy seats or...

Hi, I'm new to this newsgroup but I have made a couple of responces so this is who I am. 32 year old ex Accountant, now full time Mum, 'Tanya', married to John, self employed Joiner who works a lot of hours. We have Joseph aged 6 and twins Molly and Charley now 18 months old. They're angels...

I'm wondering if I could have some thoughts and words of wisdom on starting preemies on solid foods. My girls are 4 1/2 months and were born 8 weeks early. Lately they've had voracious appetites, sometimes taking 7 oz of formula, then another 6 two hours later. My doctor plans to "discuss...

So they boys have basically been raised on formula: but after they turned one year (corrected), I figured it was time to transition them to whole milk (this was the end of June). I started using whole milk to mix their cereal (maybe a couple of tablespoons of milk a day) and adding it to their...

Some of you may groan, but I'm starting to think about Christmas presents already. :) I'd love to hear about any toys that 4 year-olds would enjoy. My girls will be 3 years and 9 months at Christmas. I like to spread my Christmas shopping out so that we don't have to spend all the money in one...
