Mommy's Little Helpers

You may not know this about us, but we are busy . . . VERY BUSY. (Hence the shortage of pictures and lack of posts from this month . . . instead of photographing my two little ones calmly, sweetly, sitting on our bed, I now chase them around our house . . . and, getting both boys in the same picture is even more challenging!) Here are several pictures from the past few weeks of the babies helping us around the house . . . Enjoy!

This first picture is one of my favorites . . . and, any Murphy can tell you that I spent much of my time as a child crawling into the pantry at my Nana's house! (If I find that picture, I will scan it and post it! Maybe Nana has it??)

Hudson, the master Tupperware organizer

Why fold laundry when you can dump it onto the floor?

Lately, William has been really into helping Hudson with things . . . and, he is quite proud!

It takes a village to change a diaper around here!

The babies have done a great job of volunteering to help us with basic household chores.

William takes out the mail each day . . .

And, Hudson pulls the really tasty foods out of the fridge . . .

The boys have taken on the task of recycling together . . .

Thankfully, everyone loves Pottery Barn around here!

Also recyclable? Our favorite toy! This small paper bag!

The pre-bath inspection of the tub (and its toys!)

And, checking out daddy's progress on painting the porch floor . . . (good work, daddy, good work!)

We went to lunch with friends last week, and Harper helped feed the boys . . . SO CUTE!


And, lastly, if you wonder what my life looks like when I am not chasing babies--this is it:
William climbing my leg (this baby lives at my feet), and Hudson on my hip (you can just see his tiny toes in this picture). I love it!

Grandpa Reppard!

A few weeks ago Grandpa Reppard and Nonna came for a babysitting run (thank you, thank you!) and a visit! Nonna took these fun pictures of the boys with Grandpa on our porch. Grandpa won over William on this trip--they became good buddies! Thanks to Nonna and Grandpa for their help with the boys! We hope that y'all had a GREAT Anniversabirthday Trip!

Isn't Grandpa SO interesting?

Smiling William!
Smirking Hudson!

Three Reppard boys!

On the MOVE!

It is official! These boys are BUSY, and they are on the move! Most of the time, we are really enjoying them moving all around and exploring life! (I did panic on Monday when I realized how fast they both are!! Fear not--baby gates will soon be making their grand appearance in our home!) Enjoy a few pictures from our week . . .

I take the boys to the car one at a time to buckle them in, and I usually take Will first because I can see him in his seat from the front door of the house . . . this picture is of Hudson following me out the door!

Escape Artist!


Trying to hold onto, climb, and scale the banister . . .

Hudson's morning routine now includes checking up on and freeing Murphy the dog!

and william watches from his post . . .

More fun with swings! They were facing the sun and it was pretty bright out! (hence the closed eyes!)

I love this one of William!

My view from the stroller . . .

Waiting for Daddy!

When 6pm rolls around, Hudson, William, and I are all excitedly awaiting the arrival of Daddy!! We all LOVE IT when he comes home for the day! (And, Fridays are especially fun when he's home for the whole weekend!) Here are a few pictures of the boys waiting for their dad . . .

Waiting . . . and escaping

And, he arrives! Fun times with Daddy!

I love this sweet profile!

And . . . one random one from two weekends ago of the boys looking at the peacock at the petting zoo (where we did not pet any animals, fear not!)

Beavers and Swings

Here are a few more pictures of our (awake!) little beavers. As I type this, Hudson is in his crib talking loudly and pulling up on his crib (I am certain)! He slept for 42 minutes. Gr!

Hudson

Beaver William (notice the MASSIVE chunks of crib that he has gnawed off on the left side--as far as I can tell, this damage was done in one big napless chunk of time) . . . doesn't he look proud?

This is William's "beaver face"

ah ha ha ha!! you thought we were sleeping . . . silly mommy!

The week before last, we went to swing with some friends. We had a great time!! Both Hudson and William just giggled and giggled as I pushed them!
Swinging Together!

This playground was great because it not only had two infant swings together, but it had FOUR swings!! Here is our twin crew . . . Neveah, Max, Hudson and William!

Swinging Fun!

The time formerly known as nap time . . .

Hudson and William's new skills have resulted in less time for naps and more time for fun . . . hmmm, interesting . . . somehow, I feel like we are all a little more tired as a result! Here are some of the latest rebel pictures!

William

I know this picture isn't the greatest, but please take not of the tiny bite marks on the side of the crib. It appears that a beaver has inhabited Hudson's crib . . . (a beaver has taken a chunk or five out of William's crib too . . . those pictures are soon to come!)

Sitting up to play (and, NOT nap)!
