Have you heard of Pinterest? I have some friends on it and they talked about how addictive it is and I refused to go on, because really, do I need another online addiction. No.way.
A few days ago Lara did a Kids in the Captial post on Pinterest and I caved and asked for an invite (it is an invite only site at the moment). And 24 hours later I can say ADDICTED!!! But honestly it is so useful. You create boards where you "pin" inspiration photos with links. If you are like me your bookmark list is hundreds of bookmarks long with links to posts and crafts and recipes you want to revisit someday. But thanks to the format of bookmarks you rarely do. Pinterest to the rescue. You pin the photo of those delicious looking squares or the craft you want to do and the photo is always there on your page staring at you, reminding you - "You wanted to make me!!! DO IT ALREADY". I am not sure how to invite others but if you want an invite let me know and I'll try and figure it out. Or not, cause seriously, ADDICTIVE!

I can't come up with a snazzy title to this post. How do I title my first post in four months. Four months that have been filled with busy and quiet times, stressful and blissful times, kids who won't stop growing, first and lasts. It has been a busy time at Casa TwoHandsFull.
D2 is growing like a weed. This child does not slow down. He barely stops moving, even in his sleep. He is my happy, playful, musical child. He sings to himself constantly. I keep trying to get it on video but he stops as soon as he notices I am recording.
M has learned how to swim and love water. At the beginning of the summer we had trouble getting him into a pool. Just this past weekend at our annual cottage visit he spent the better part of Sunday in the lake. The LAKE for goodness sake. He loved it and the weeds didn't bother him at all.
D is still my D. Aptly described by some class mates, D is our Gentle Giant. He decided that he wanted to return to Hockey this year and had a week of Power Skating camp in July. I haven't seem him so happy in a long time. If only he was able to focus that much determination on math and English he would ace school :)
I started to run again. I found a willing running buddy at work and then lost her 3 weeks later. Unfortunately for both of us her work schedule this summer won't allow for running over lunch (or any lunch at all). We will regroup again in the fall but it has been hard for me to motivate myself to run alone. Today I plan on going out. My first time in almost 3 weeks.
I plan on checking in here more often now. I hope all is well with you guys. Drop me a comment and let me know what is new in your worlds.
