Saturday Snapshots: Making Cavetelli

Both Dave's parents and mine came over last Saturday. The boys went outside to play with power tools and built a ramp for the shed while the girls stayed inside to make pasta from scratch. Actually my mother-in-law made the dough at home and we just cut and curled it. Here are some pictures of us making the cavatelli. Sorry no pictures of the sweaty guys. I know you are dissapointed.

I really thought I would have time to blog everyday on this "once in a life time trip" but in reality, yesterday I did not even have time to brush my hair and I have yet to wash it since getting the twins on Sunday. So as I sit here on Tuesday evening I want to remember and record all that has transpired since the girls were first placed in our arms but I am sitting in a dark hotel since Abbi and Livi are asleep in their cribs just 10 feet away.  The near darkness make me want to crawl under the covers and fade into dream land.
