Carter the Helper

Carter and Logan were enjoying some orange slices at their picnic table this afternoon and Carter once again showed his helpful side. Logan was so happy about the “appas” (what he calls just about everything in the produce section that resembles an apple in size, shape or color), he started leaning over and eating them with his mouth. Being the mom that I am, I tried not to laugh and said halfheartedly, “Logan, use your hands!” A minute passed while Logan chewed with his hands resting on the table, and then Carter collected all the remaining orange slices and stacked them, without a word, on the back of Logan’s hand. He was helping Logan “use his hands.”

Some people ask me how I stay fit after having twins. Well, I do obstacle courses all day long. My boys are very sweet to set them up for me (see below). When we go to the park, they also encourage me to do cardio by running in two different directions. Their favorite game is to be chased, but I know that they're only trying to keep me healthy.
