Twins

Two faces to wash, and four dirty hands
Two insentient voices, making demands
Twice as much crying, when things go wrong
The four eyes closing, with slumber song
Twice as many garments, blowing on the line
Two cherubs in the wagon, soaking up the sunshine
Work I do for twins, naturally comes double
But four arms to hug me, repays all the trouble

Misc. weekend fun

This weekend was HOT! Saturday we just played in the yard with the slide and sprinkler and as much water as possible. Saturday night we went to the Sand Castle Building contest at Revere Beach- we prayed to the Godess Asphaltina for a parking space. The traffic was bad and the beach was very crowded, but, we did find a parking space. We walked through the crowds and the noise to see the giant sand castles, Jackson and Shane weren't very interested, they were more over whelmed with all of the people and the noise. We didn't even get a chance to build our own sand castle- we walked around, got a bite to eat and then headed home by 7pm- it was an adventure to say the least.

Sunday was our traditional visit Grandma and Grandpa day- the ATE everything in Grandma's fridge and played with their new Clifford the Big Red Dogs. Then we went to the playground and to lunch. all in all it was a great day!

How old are you?

Part of the Early Intervention group that Jackson and Shane go to is circle time. During circle time Fran asks the kids their name and how old they are. For a few weeks now Jackson and Shane have both been saying that they are six years old. This is better than being nine like they tell mommy. Well today, Shane told me that he was two and that Jackson was two as well!

listening for birds

Jackson and Shane LOVE birds! They look for them on the roof tops all of the time and as of this weekend, Jackson has started to call the birds. Coo Coo or he tries to whistle, clearly I am not capturing the essence of his cuteness here in the blog as I don't have a video, but please take my word for it when I say he is cute- wondering why the birdies won't answer back!

We had a wonderful time with Mommy's friend Courtney.

Shane's pants continuously fell down, but he had a great time digging for clams despite the pants.

Making Pizza

Today during a visit with Grandma and Grandpa Jackson made pizza. For real, they went to the pizza place and the guys let him behind the counter to make his own pizza!

Imaginations

Last night Shane and Jackson used socks as telephones. They were talking to Big Bird about butterflies!
