Tonight I hosted my first official function as the "CO's Wife" aka COW. Ok--those who know me well know that I'm not a big entertainer. It's a rare thing for me to have large groups of people over to the house AND cook, let alone do both of those things on the same night. I decided that since I'm missing NC and the fall weather I'd go with a fall theme, so I went with apples. I made a super easy apple crumble, some spiced (and a little spiked) apple cider, and caramel covered candy coated apples! I really didn't expect the apples to go over as well as they did, but everyone seemed to like them, and folks were not shy about chomping into them either. The apples were relatively easy to make and turned out to be a fun addition. I would recommend, however, to those wanting to make such apples not get the caramel that requires you to open fifty individual pieces in order to melt them. It was fun to be able to use all of my Southern Living stuff and the new glasses I got when Tom's mom was here. All in all, it was a fun night. Everyone is very nice, and I am really looking forward to the next 18 months of getting to know them and their families. There are lots of little ones the boys age, so it will be good to have ready made friends for the boys to play with. The boys were super excited when "the peoples" started showing up and didn't quite understand why they had to stay downstairs and watch Star Wars with daddy. Any other night, they would have been all over the Star "Horse," as they call it. When everyone left, they were still wriggling in bed. We'll see how this 10 p.m. bedtime plays out in the morning!
About Me
- Everyday adventures...
- Welcome to the world of twin preschoolers. Every day is an adventure! This blog is a way for me to share a little of what life is like with twin boys. The adventure never ends. On most days, they make me wonder what would happen if “babies drooled the world”! One thing I know for sure is they would win most of the battles! In an ideal world, I’d love to write children’s books. The title of this blog is obviously a play on words (If babies ruled the world). It came to me one day when I was wiping a drool covered face for probably the 100th time. I think it would be a fun title for a book. Maybe one day the boys’ adventures will inspire me to finally write that book. Until then, I’ll have fun wondering what truly would happen if babies drooled the world!

Apples to Apples
