Sweet Potatoes, Snow and 1st tooth

My good friend Leanne took time away from her 4 yr old son and her almost 2 yr old boy/girl twins and loaned me her food processor and we made 96 ozs of sweet potatoes! Yes, I homemade baby food in the attempt to save money and cause well... why not? In the next few days I will make some carrots and squash and butternut squash... oh the choices are unlimited!

We got a nice snow- the first "real" snow in a few years. 6 inches fell on the ground and we introduced the girls to the snow. Bobby held them and I put snow in their hands- we had a little protests with some grunts and all, but they held some snow in their cute little chubby hands. And then immediately put their hands in their mouths.

As I was cleaning up the bowls of sweet potatoes, I put some on my finger and put it in Kristin's mouth and lo and behold... there was a tooth cutting through! How did that happen? How are they growing this fast? I want them to stay babies! *tear*

Lara likes to wear her sweet potatoes as well as eat them

I never knew I could love 2 little things so much! They grow more and more fun everyday! I look forward to their toothless grins... oh yeah.. Kristin won't have one much longer.
