The Clampets (they call themselves that, too) arrived yesterday with early birthday presents for the babies and to lend a helping hand. Despite my almost paralytic fear of ladders (including intense sweating and me repeating "Everything's fine" as a mantra while on ladder) Dad and I have spent the day on a three story high scaffold painting the rest of the outside of the house.

It's like Father-Daughter bonding, extreme style.

My stepmom has arrived to help babysit. They've arrived in good time - we're all nursing hardcore colds, Nora has yet another ear infection, our crappy red car is about to go meet the Ford Father in the sky and we now need to figure out how we're going to go about getting a replacement as it's not like we have a lot of cash lying around, and Angus and I both are stressed to bits with work (as in too much of it to do and not enough hours or willpower to do it with).

I'll be light on the blogging for a few days while I soak up the help and enjoy time with my folks, who are some of the best grandparents I have ever seen.
