Just do it!

As a mom 
of TWINS
there have been 
so many times
when I hesitate
simply because 
there are TWO!

But at the same time
when someone asks,
WOW twins...
how do you do it?!
My reply is 
I just do!
I have to
I have no 
other choice.

There are many things
I feel 
I would have done
with just one...
just yesterday
a year ago
I took home 
just one.

Easton John 
came into our home
alone.
And you know 
as much as 
I LOVED
having him home,
we were not 
complete.

So all the things
that could have
that would have
that might have
happened
if there was
just one...
mean nothing to me
because we
have been blessed
with TWO.

And so today
we had
Twice as much fun
Twice as much mess
and
Twice as much artwork!!!
because Mommy 
decided to
Just do it!
Let me just say
I have been 
thinking 
plotting
planning
wanting
to do anything 
fun and creative 
with them.

So with nothing but
time to kill
I threw em in
the pack n play
while I ran around
like a mad woman
so excited
SO EXCITED
and ready to 
create!

The kitchen
made a perfect studio.
I will never look 
at my kitchen
the same way again.
They were confined,
had to get through me
to go anywhere else.
The counter space
was perfect for 
the artwork,
which was out of the way
of the mini messy monsters.

We were a 
lean 
mean 
printing machine.
one foot
one hand 
one mess 
at a time.

I thought about 
doing it with 
just one...
at a time.
Leave the other 
in the pack n play.
But as soon as
I reached for 
just one
it did NOT feel right.
Sooo out came 
the BOTH of them
we all
just did it!

Clean up 
was probably 
their favorite.
I let em 
just play 
with the water
while I washed 
and dried
tried to anyway.
They were soaking wet
but clean!
I too was soaking wet
but NOT clean!

I will do this
AGAIN!
I had a blast.
I felt a rush.
The rush of 
production.
The rush of 
creativity.
The rush of 
just doing it!

Sometimes,
I do wish 
I had about 
3 more arms.
If 
I did
I would have 
way more pictures.
That is the only thing
I wanted to do
differently.

But that's ok.
I got what I got.
And if anything
I got artwork!
I got memories!
and 
I got confidence!
I can
just do it!

By the way,
this girl...

LOVED it!
Easton had fun,
don't get me wrong.
We all had fun.

But she
was so into it!!!
She did not 
want to wait 
for her turn.
And she did not 
want to stop.
I am encouraging
everyone
to just do it!
Whatever IT is...
just do it!
