Freshly stomped and always too bitter

  • The boys gave us our Valentine presents, sleeping all night (yes, I was up at 5am, but 6:30-5 is a solid night) @paternityleave #
  • Just installed a dish washer. As Red Green would say: "If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy" #
  • A 7.5 mile walk with the twinies, coffee and Thai curry for lunch are the only thing to save today. #paternityleave #
  • It's reassuring to have one of your kids laugh himself awake. Guess we're doing something right. #paternityleave #

  • Completely and utterly exhausted from hiking with Parker in his backpack. Elevation + 3.6 miles * chunky baby = 1 tired dad #paternityleave #
  • Do they sell snow shovel attachments for a changing table? #paternityleave #
  • I had all these great intentions for the evening, but apparently, falling asleep on the couch with a baby on my chest was all I needed to do #
  • Come on @Bishma, let's go party. #
  • Currently reducing root beer for a bbq sauce. #
  • Days don't get better this, got to hang out all day with my 3 most favorite dudes: my dad and my twins #threegenerations #paternityleave #

  • How long can a tantrum be paused for? Apparently, 6.1 miles. #paternityleave #
  • With Jess at parent conferences, I'm getting a good view of a single parent's evening. I have much respect. #paternityleave #hurryhome #
  • Is it my birthday? Nope, just a wonderful wife who made it so I could sleep in until 9am. #sleepthatswhereimaviking #
  • I love mortgage refi Fridays. #

  • There's like coming home to have both twins take a nap on me. #twinirvana #
  • Haven't had 2 things since 1am: power and sleep. They're predicting another 3 hours at least. #
  • A marathon day. #paternityleave #
  • The twins have timed up their napping with when my coffee is ready–that's usually when they refuse to stay down. #paternityleave #
  • Best part of being home today: Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is on #paternityleave #
  • 5.5 mile walk today to buy shoes and socks for the twin-folk. Beautiful day today. #paternityleave #
  • A very successful basil-lemon chicken and couscous #
  • Problem with eating couscous; after cleaning up & putting the boys to bed, I found brown lil' booger-looking objects. To taste them or not? #
  • Hard to believe, the Twinlings are 8 months old today. I remember when we still had to wait 8 months for them to be born. #paternalleave #
  • The twin-folk are stuffed up and coughy, which makes them fantastic sleepers in 18 minute bouts, all night long #paternityleave #
  • My last dream of the night was me as a student in high school. Michael Keaton was running for student body president. #
  • Apparently fried eggs cook quicker on the "on" burner. I blame @altonbrown for never covering that topic with a puppet. #goodtweets #
  • A great 6 mile walk today with the twinlings. #paternityleave #
  • end of the day: I'm covered in snot, coated in drool and splattered with half eaten food… and only some of belongs to me #paternityleave #
  • What a mistake to accidentally stumble onto the Viking website. Jess may need to get another job so I can outfit a kitchen properly #
  • Another wild rumpus of a night: Twinlings sleeping, Jess grading, turnips, potatoes, avacado, and cauliflower smashed into babyfood #yawnuts #
  • ATTN: @Jaegerwells Decided that @saturatedpratt @ghentmills and I need some cheap tickets into DFW for a weekend #pratttatinhand #upperthigh #
