I spend most of my free time making trips to multiple grocery stores, running other various errands, and just generally keeping this household running. I'm trying to let Brandon focus on school as much as possible and so I do pretty much everything around the house by myself. This takes a lot longer than I thought it would! When we were first married we split everything 50/50, then when the boys were born it was more like 80/20 and now it's like 95/5. I was teasing him the other day that I didn't think he had changed a diaper in over a week- turns out, he hadn't! He just doesn't have the time anymore. And I try to let him spend his free time playing with the boys rather than changing poopy diapers.
Oh, and in honor of No-Spend Month starting in a few days, I decided to go out in true Kim-style and buy an expensive new pair of jeans :-) In my defense, I don't really fit into any of my old jeans anymore and I doubt I ever will again. Negating that defense, I was talked into buying a pair that are still a size too small... but they really lift my behind, so I guess I thought that was worth sacrificing comfort and fit for. I really need to begin dieting/working out again since I still have 5 pesky pounds hanging around. I don't have too much motivation, though, because I think that even if I lost the 5 pounds and got back to my pre-pregnancy weight, I would still have that extra skin hanging on my mid-section that creates instant muffin-top if I wear anything besides sweats. *Sigh* What's the use?
So, that's what we've been up to lately. Here are some pictures for those of you who need a Jack and Cullen fix:

those boys are so cute doubled up!
Hang in there...you're doing wonderfully!!!!
Not too many kiddos in this world have such an amazing mama like you are...and I think all us mommies have a good fluffy tum, or a "muffin-top tum!" =)
When our life was like this, it helped when I had something to look forward to...even everyday! Find the little things that make you enjoy life, or something fun for you and the babes to look forward to do, and even schedule a good time for family time when Brandon has a break where you all get to do something fun.
Of course, these don't have to cost money-and usually are more fun when they don't!
So, I hope you get to read a chapter in a really good book, or take a 5 min bath soon! =)
Hope you are well!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! We need our Jack and Cullen fix. Our love to all of you. Steph--you have beautiful grandsons:)
