Christmas pictures
Last week I worked on getting pictures for our Christmas card (seems like I went through this last year!). It took about 3 hours and I took about 300 pictures. Anyway, here are a few of the ones we didn’t choose… but are fun.
Ironman Florida 2008
Here are a few pictures from our day. Dh was competing in Ironman Florida… the babies and I were the cheering section. We made some signs… complete with Wondertwin scribbles. We yelled our encouragement… and we spent most of the day like any other: playing, eating, and sleeping. Such is the life of twins!
Here are the Wondertwins waiting for the race start. It was quite chilly… and early. Neither factors made the twins extremely happy.
All the swimmers heading in to the start. It is amazing seeing 2000 bodies all run in and swim at the same time! I’m glad I’m not in the mix!
Z with his “Daddy support” t-shirt. I got them made the day before. Their names were on the back. They were sooo cute!!!!
B in hers, playing on the little condo porch. They thought it was so neat to go out there and see the ocean and birds. They squealed with delight every time a bird would come close!
The family at the completion of Dh’s race. I was so proud of him, but sad I practically missed the actual finish. We were there, but being in thousands of people, with a twin stroller, twin toddlers (during the witching hour, mind you), and Dh changing his jersey on me (I was looking for the orange one he had on when he passed ont he bike), made that difficult. I was waiting to see him, giving snacks, toys, answering questions about twins, giving juice, refilling cups, etc… and then I heard his name announced. I just barely turned around to see him cross. Video was out of the question at that point. Oh well… such is the life.
Playing on the Tiger Pillow with Daddy
Bedtime… yeah, right!
My say
So, this morning we went to a playdate at McDonald’s. There were people from the higher up of McDonald’s and about 6 other moms from my local Mom’s group. They wanted to pick our brains… as Mommies. What do we like? What do we dislike? What do we want?
I stressed the wish for more healthy choices. I want veggie sticks, cheese sticks, fruit cups, natural ingredients, etc. I also said that I would like them to have more environmental awareness… or if they already do, to make us more aware. My kids (and their future) are my greatest priority. Their health and nutrition are at the top. If they want our business, they need to help me do the best by my kids.
I was very happy with the discussions. I felt like they really listened. So, maybe we will see some positive changes.
Twin Talk
I found this AWESOME site! There is information for moms of twin, stories, pictures, etc. Now, my blog is being listed on this site! I’m so excited to be a part of it!!!!
Check it out. Much to learn and see!
So cute!
That is all I can say… they are just too cute!
Itty bitty camping chairs
I saw one of these at my friend’s house. The wondertwins are really into chairs and couches. So, we went to get them. For $5 each… we got two chairs that were “just right”. They LOVE them! They specifically like to curl up in their chair with “nack nack” (snack in a kiddie bowl, as seen in the pics), and watch “Melmo” (elmo). Ahh, the joys of being small. I hope they can always be so easily pleased!
Monkey got a haircut
Last Sunday I gave Monkey his first haircut. You can still see some of the curls when his hair is wet or sweaty. It was just getting too crazy. Anyway, for those that asked, here is a picture… from right after.
Castle!
We got a castle! It is a 2nd hand “classic castle” from Little Tykes. It was originally over $550. We got it for $75!!!!! I’m so excited! The Wondertwins LOVE it!!!!!!! Here are some pics.
