More to come....

...when we set up our home computer again. We have moved our "office" to the basement to make room for the upcoming birthday (twins) and Christmas onslaught of new toys. SO, when we are up and running I will have lots of great posts about the twins 3rd birthday and Christmas. Until then...:-)

"J" is for...

Jonathan: Hey Mom! LOOK! I made a big "J" with the dinosaurs.
Mom: That's awesome Jonathan.
Jonathan: Yeah. J for Jonathan. J for Joe. AND, J for Julie. That's you! Three "J" people in our house.
Mom: That is right!

Twins do the Weirdest, Oops I mean Cutest Things...

Tonight after baths, and very LONG and LATE naps, the twins got into their "wonder-twin-play."(SEE ABOVE PICTURE: "riding the bus") It is something we have noticed the twins do. They don't plan or discuss what they are playing, they simulateously start to play this elaborate, detailed pretend fantasy, of say, "riding the bus, to go to school, to go to the grocery store, to take their babies to the doctor, to go to daddy's work..." and it goes on. What is interesting to me is that they carry on this conversation while playing but don't really consult with eachother about what they are doing, but they are BOTH playing along...to top it off, and this is the BEST PART, they get into this zone of no disturbance! I LOVE IT!!! They want nothing to do with me...as I write this they are in the basement playing who knows, but I got a blog completed.

SO, after I finished this blog, I called downstairs to the twins for bedtime and this is the response:
Caroline: Shhhh Joe joe, mommy coming.
Mommy: Ummm, please come upstairs, it's bedtime.
Joe/Caroline: No, 5 minutes please,.
Mommy: No, it is late and you have school tomorrow. It is bedtime now.
Caroline: But we flying the airplane to the beach. See?
Mommy goes downstairs and sees the following scene:

Caroline: See Mommy! We flying the airplane. Joe Joe is the pilot.

Note: They had half of the toys in the basement piled on and next to a mini trampolene...that will be fun to pick up since I just reorganized the entire basement play area. Oh well... they played nice and I got to blog:-) Enjoy the flight!!

Spiderman, Dora and Diego

Happy Halloween 2010!

Jonathan as Spiderman, Caroline as Dora, and Joseph as Diego.
Outside shots were difficult ... it was like holding back the horses at the Derby... they couldn't wait to get going!

The Daddy's could barely keep up! (That is NOT Thomas in the clown wig:-) We have a new neighbor and he and his daughter went treating with our clan).

All the Toddler's in our neighborhood treating together.
