I've been trying to post a new blog for a few days now, but things have been a little busy. Hey I have twin daughters, what do you expect?

So what's new... lets see. Chloe is very close to taking a few steps on her own. If she hasn't already... I think Grandma and Grandpa might be concealing certain "firsts" so that mommy doesn't feel bad. And hey, I'm all for that.

Claire has turned into little miss "ham it up". If she makes a face or does something that makes us laugh, she will continue doing it.. over and over. First she would scrunch her nose, then she would breath in and out really fast, then she started tilting her head back and doing the nose scrunch thing and now she has learned to wink. Well it is more of a double eye blink than a single eye wink, but it is still pretty much the cutest thing you have ever seen.

The weather was nice today and so we headed up to the lake for a bar-b-que with family and friends. We thought we would try and grab some nice "ten month" photos of the girls while we were up there, but Chloe wasn't diggin' it.

This was the first time she has really ever been put down on the ground with leaves and grass and stuff. I don't think she knew what to think. One thing was sure sure, she wasn't in the smiling mood. Though Claire was hamming it up as has become the norm lately.

First Chloe got it, then Jamie's Dad, then Claire and now Jamie and I have it. It feels like a cross between the bird flu and SARS, but without going to the doctor I can't be sure. Either way we are a pretty pitiful bunch around here lately. Will post more after recovery.

P.S. Airborne doesn't work.

Come on daddy wake up already!

5:00am - 6:00am: Jamie wakes up with the girls. I remain unconscious.

6:30am - 7:00am: Roll my lazy @#$ out of bed and head for the nearest bowl of Fruity Pebbles.

7:00am - 8:00am: Hit the gym. I have been hitting said gym for over a year now and haven't managed to grow a single muscle. Maybe I need to start drinking some of those powder filled protein drinks that all the huge guys at the gym are always talking about. Or maybe I should just mix in a salad now and then.

8:00am - 8:30am: Sit down at my desk, turn on Howard Stern and go about burning out my retinas for the next eight hours.

5:00pm - 5:30pm: Do battle with the Fresno rush hour traffic. This is the only town where people will actually forge their own right hand turn lane as if they were blazing a trail through the rain forest.

5:30pm - 7:30pm: This is the best part of the day. Playing with the girls, feeding the girls, changing the girls ... you get the idea.

7:30pm - 11:00pm: Ahh adult time at the Scott house. Translation - veg in front of the T.V. or kill time on one of the many hobbies which have all but fallen by the way side. The most recent of which is photography, but my models went to bed at 7:30pm.

We took Chloe and Claire next door for a BBQ with friends last night. The girls were pretty good and enjoyed the extra attention.

Jamie's parents also moved into their new apartment yesterday. Jamie is back at work and Grandma will be on baby duty during the day. An added perk is that we will be able to drop the girls off at the Grandparent's and go out once in a while. We had a great time last night, but I think we are both looking forward to a night sans kids sometime in the near future.

Last Saturday our friends gave us our fourth and final shower. I think we are officially the luckiest parents to be in the world. Thanks to our families, friends and co-workers the nursery is piled high with all of the baby necessities and supplies anyone could imagine.

Saturday was also St. Patrick's Day... so there was even more reason to party down.

Jamie and I were treated to another baby shower on Tuesday. This time it was thrown by the fine people with who I have the pleasure of killing time with... err I mean working with each and every day.

Last night's Halloween Party was a hit. Everyone came decked out as their favorite rock star and the band, "Barely A Band" took to the stage. Dee Snider, Jerry Garcia, Tommy Lee, Slash, Elvis and Jimi Hendrix all in one band... now you know that has to be good.

Last night Jamie and I got together with the neighbors to carve up some pumpkins. We had a blast even though our pumpkins were a bit on the small side. We went to a pumpkin patch last week and I think the place was totally picked over. Which was lame because you had to pay $3 a person just to get in, only to find a small selection. Then when we go grocery shopping they have a ton of sweeeeet pumpkins for sale outside for way cheaper. Oh well.
