A few months ago my best friend suggested that I start a blog. Yeah, yeah I said like I have time for this! She said it would be great...family and friends could see pictures of my girls and see how life was going over at the Robinson house. Then about a week or two ago my sister started her blog! WOW...now I'm in trouble. This girl is brilliant when it comes to putting words to paper, funny, entertaining and self deprecating and always, always says what she's thinking. I'm screwed! :) But I say this with love!
Anyway, here goes...
I have 4 children, Melissa(18) is my oldest and is now attending UC Berkeley. This girl is wicked smart and at this point studying Physics. I'd love to take credit for her brains but she's my step-daughter and thus saved from my more or I should say less then stellar brain power! She also plays in the UC marching band, so if you love to watch college football please cheer a little harder when the band is on the field. Tenner Sacks section to be exact!
My second child is Joshua(15) he is my step-son and this kid is also supper smart and has a wicked sense of humor. Though at this point it's getting him in a bit of trouble at home and at school.
My last two are my twin girls, Megan and Katelyn both 2 years old. What can I say about these two, but that I love them with all my heart. Please don't get me wrong I love my two oldest kids but these two are basically why I was put on this earth. Megan the oldest by 2 minutes is the organizer of the two. She wants her toys lined up and facing forward, if she gets a new diaper then her sister needs one also. A few months ago before they turned two both were playing in the family room, Kate had a dirty diaper so David took her upstairs to change it. This left Meg alone with me in the kitchen trying to make dinner. Not liking the fact that Kate got to go with Daddy she made it known to me that she was not pleased. Trying to placate her I offered her a cookie but with the strict instructions to eat it fast and not tell her sister that she got a treat. All of this was readily agreed to and the cookie was given and eaten. Needless to say the minute Kate got back the cat was out of the bag. Megan, not wanting her sister to miss out on anything that she got promptly and is precise twin language (something that no Mother/Father or any other family member can figure out) told her sister that she had gotten said cookie and that she should ask Mom for one also. I know all of this was going down because of the wild hand gestures to the mouth and pantry door made by Meg and then Kate turning to me with a shocked look on her face and the scream that then emanated from her mouth! She got a cookie also...
Speaking of Katelyn...the youngest and thus the baby, baby of the family is a mommy's girl. From the day she was born I knew this and I love it! Me first and then everyone else second...I'm sure over the years this will change but for right now I wouldn't have it any other way. Kate is a little more out going then Meg, she'll say hi or go give a family member a hug first before Megan. Kate doesn't care if her toys are lined up and takes great joy in knocking them down once Meg has lined them up. She also loves to play hide and go seek with her Daddy...something that Meg's not to happy doing. Both will go count but, only Kate will come out to find Daddy, while Meg stays put until Daddy has been found. I don't blame her I'm kind of a chicken as is Melissa when it comes to people jumping out at you from dark corners.
Well, this is the start of my blogging! I hope I did OK for my first time.

Welcome to the blog world. :) Nice first post. Now I can actually see pictures of the girls since their Aunt Lesley is horrible at sending pics. haha
Hello Mrs. Blogger!
Wow! That's some great friend you have! Now wasn't it easy! Looks great and I can't wait to see more!
Your BFF~andie
You did it! Nicely done! Now I can read all about us. From your not so secret admirer, your husband.
I noticed you didn't say much about the husband that clearly adores you. So mean... so thoughtless. (hahahahahahaha)
