Happy Birthday Max & Luke!

Max & Luke are officially 5 years old today! We had their big party on Sunday with family and friends.  They were so excited to open their presents and patiently waited while everyone ate dinner first.  We celebrated with batman decorations, cake and a pinata.  Fun stuff!

It is hard to believe they are 5.  Sometimes I feel like I have missed more of their five years because there are two!  On the other hand, what a challenge and double the fun it has been raising them side by side-the best of friends.  They have HUGE imaginations.  I love to watch them play together, as if no one else exists.  Max has speech delays and it is hard to understand a lot of what he says, but Luke always knows what he wants.  Their personalities are very different.  Luke is always on the move, loud, VERY talkative and a drama mama! He is funny and even when he is doing something he shouldn't, he can make you smile!  Max is quiet, FULL of affection, always knows when you need a hug, kiss or an "I love you, monny" (that's what he calls me). 

So our recent birthday extravaganza is over for now.  I like to refer to the past few weeks as "Christmas in spring"! The presents, parties, celebrations and drain of the pocket book, make it feel like the holidays for sure, but I wouldn't have it any other way.  LOVE my boys!

Thanks for stopping by. I may have a card later this evening, but probably not until tomorrow.  It will be nice to get back into my regular creative routine!

A Joker and a Penguin, but no Batman to be found....

Hello! We had a rainy day on Saturday, so we did a lot of playing indoors.  My twins, Luke and Max, have HUGE imaginations.  It is so funny to watch them play together.  They act out scenes from movies and make up there own, too.  Recently, they have been into Batman.  Of course, they like to be the villains, and not Batman and Robin.
We have a huge bin of "dress up" clothes, but unfortunately, no villain costumes, so they decided to make their own.  Luke is Joker and Max is Penguin.  I busted a gut laughing at them and had to snap some photos!  Luke drew and colored a Joker suit and taped it to his clothes along with his joker smile!
Max wanted to be Penguin so he got out a black hat, scarf and gloves.  He also gathered a few of the penguin stuffed animals we own, but they are on the floor and not in the photos.

Sorry no card for now, but these photos were too funny not share!
