Bubbles, bubbles, everywhere bubbles...

Around our house we are finding that we have to develop a secret language for certain things/activities or else the twiners go ga-ga at the very mention of these certain things.  For instance, the babies love the pool and I am terrified to take all 3 kids in the pool by myself - without proper adult supervision (aka Scott) - so if we mention the words SWIMMING or POOL the babes get crazy excited thinking that it's wa-wa time. So the code word for the pool at the Herrick home is HOLLY... and yes Sam came up with the name all on her own... so if we ask you to come to the HOLLY with us we mean come over and swim between the hours of 1 and 3pm while the babes are in slumberland.

So you're probably wondering what this little tid-bit has to do with bubbles. Well, just the word bubbles conjures up some magical twinkle in all 3 of the kids eyes. We haven't quite come up with a code for bubbles yet - mostly because it's just, too sweet to watch them get so excited for bubble-time. Bubbles just seem to do that to them... it's so pure... it's so fantastic... it's the sweetest thing!




And I really did try to get pictures of B & B trying to chase all of the bubbles all over the yard but they were just to quick for me and my photo-trigger finger.

Tough Mudder

Here are some videos of the  Tough Mudder challenge that Scott took part in (January 2012). So incredibly proud of these guys... I present to you... the Dirty Dads! And here is a FUNNY video I took of the final obstacle...not of the boys, but still so hilarious to watch!

Random photos...

Whenever I have a photo shoot planned at my house in my little “studio” I always beg and plead with the kiddos to sit for just a second so that I can get the lights and set up just right before the actual shoot. Well, in doing that, I always end up with the most random of photos... ENJOY! [taken December 2011]

Brody stories...

Here’s another Brody story for ya... A few weeks ago the kids put in a Wii game to play. Shortly after the game began Samantha calmly walked over to me at my desk and in a super low voice said, ‘umm Mom, Brody just said a bad word’. Mind you we have taught our kids that words like stupid, jerk and shut up are all bad words so I wasn’t sure what to believe or expect. I then said ‘are you sure it was a REAL bad word’...to which she enthusiastically said, ‘oh, I’m definitely SURE this is a bad word’. Well, not wanting to spoil the plot I told her not to tell me and that I will just have him tell me. I called Brody over and with an oh-so-cool-matter-of-fact-tone I just asked Brody what he said while playing the Wii game? In his equally oh-so-cool-matter-of-fact-tone he said [referring to the Wii game] ‘oh, I just told Sam let’s get in there and kick their ass’! I know the boy should have had a bar of soap shoved in his mouth, but really??!! How can you not chuckle...or in my ca...
