Duck and Dragon

When I purchased a third crib for #3 who was on his way, the lady I purchased it from also had twins and she gave me two costumes that her kids had outgrown, a duck and a dragon.

The twins first wore them on Halloween in 2007 and have loved wearing them ever since. Here they are in 2007 (note the mischevious one trying to grab the bumblebee's antennae!):

They have worn these costumes over the years again and again...

The costumes have these cute little tails that stick out


#3 got his chance to wear it the next Halloween
Fast forward to today...they STILL love to wear the costumes. So what if they are a bit small?

Duck and dragon are ready for a flood...

#1 favorite activity to do in the costumes...jump on the trampoline!

These costumes will always hold a special place in my heart because of all of the fun and sweet memories I have watching them run around in them.

Football game fun

Every week during football season, the boys look forward to one of their all-time favorite activites...running on the football field after the game with their cousins!!!

Socks

Dear Sock Company,

Why must you package multiple pairs of socks together that are slightly similar, yet different? One has a thin gray stripe, one has two thick grey stripes, one is ankle-length, one is regular length, and the same variety in navy blue. It makes matching socks one of my most unfavorite chores.

Dear Me,

Why do you buy said packages of cute socks from the store when you know it will be a pain to match? Why not make your life easier and buy packages of identical white-only socks?

Anyone else hate to match socks???

Zoo fun on Columbus Day

We were out of school Monday so I took the boys to the zoo (along with about a million other people). We literally had to drive around for 30 minutes just to find a parking spot! I finally won on the "war of the blinkers" and was able to snag a space from a family that was leaving.

The weather was beautiful and we spent several hours there looking at the animals. We even toured the Dinosaur exhibit and the boys got a kick out of that. The dinosaurs were animated and even roared or spit water in addition to moving. The boys enjoyed roaring back at the dinosaurs.




#3 was cracking me up because almost everywhere we walked, he declared, "It Stinks!" and hold his nose while walking around.

See who is holding his nose again while perched on the fence...

I was so proud of the way the boys acted and no one wandered off. This was the first time I had taken them to the zoo by myself and the first time without a stroller or wagon to corral them. We will be back soon (and preferably arrive early to get a parking spot without as much hassle)!

Field trip to the Woodlands Children's Museum

Last week the twins had their first field trip of the year to the Woodlands Childrens Museum. They had a great time. I think they like to ride the bus ALMOST, if not more, than the actual destination.

Thanks to their teacher for sharing these photos with me since I could not attend!

Pen Pals

We received a thank you note from my 4 year old nephew for his birthday present. Upon reading it, #1 immediately stated that he wanted to write a letter to him.

Tabitha, go ahead and mark it on E's social calendar, because he is now "officially" invited to their birthday party (even if it is nine months away). Here is the "invatashin":)
