The Twins Are Two!

Okay, so my kids are two. I am the mom of two year old twins! What happened? How did we get here? The saying is true; time really does fly! I love where we are with the kids, though. Two is the best age so far - by a long shot. I enjoyed the baby stuff, but the older they get the better it is. They now go to a Mom's Day Out program three days a week for a few hours. They love it! They get to interact and play with other kids and do all kinds of messy crafts that I don't have to clean up. Who wouldn't like that? Now Kensi did come home this week with blue paint in her hair, around her eyes, and in her nose. Yeah it's gross; but I just put them in the tub and we're good as new! Okay, enough rambling. Here are some highlights of the Elmo birthday party!
Here is the yummy cake. Yes; Edgars.

Camden points to all the characters from his favorite show.
They love Elmo the best!
Family photo op with the Sesame street gang.
Here the hubby poses with his sweet Kensington.
Close-up of Elmo and Dorothy.
We improvised on the cake. See the crayons on the sides? Elmo loves his goldfish...his crayons, too!
Nana shows Camden something on the camera.
Mimi gives the kids some grapes and strawberries.
This picture is so funny to me! The look on Grandaddy's face is: Umm, this isn't really working out so well for Kensi!" We will eventually get a picture of them with the kids. One day!
the kids certainly didn't waste time opening their presents!
The kids got lots of clothes and books and fun stuff. (Please ignore the intruding TV in these pictures that the Hubby is so enamored with.)
Garrett and Poppy and Nana chat over pizza and cake.
Grandma, the Hubby & Emily chillin in the kitchen.
the Hubby, Jaymee and Grandaddy smile for a quick pic.
Kensi loves this little noisemaker. Hours of entertainment!
Emily and Uncle David enjoy watching the kids play with their toys.
It's official! The twins are two!!

My musical kids

My children keep proving to me on a daily basis, just how musical they are. We play music in the house and in the car, we sing, clap and dance; and even play the piano around the kids. There is always something musical going on; so obviously, the kids have picked up on it. Check out this adorable little video I got the other day during lunch:



This Monday, the 25th is the kids birthday! They will be two!! Hooray!

PS - Random thought of the day...
Do any of you readers out there watch the show LOST? (If you don't, you are not going to understand this next paragraph. Sorry about that!) The hubby and I have been avid watchers of the show for about 3 seasons now. We just can't miss an episode. And we still cannot figure out WHAT IS GOING ON! Please excuse my very obvious play on words here, but why do we actually feel 'lost' watching this show? (which is nothing new; most LOST watchers are chronically question-ridden. There are actually websites devoted to LOST theories.) Well back to my point; the hubby came up with a great possibility today; Maybe there is a portal somewhere on the island that Ben is using to time-travel! Doesn't that make sense? How did Jack and Locke's fathers both mysteriously show up on the island? What about that picture of Ben in an office wearing a suit? He is tele-porting himself!! But there are still so many questions. Who is Jacob? What is the smoke monster? How do the Polar Bear and the Dharma initiative fit into this story? Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?

Will we ever have any answers to these questions? 

If you don't watch LOST and want to give it a try, it has been done. Byron and Susan netflixed the previous seasons and they are caught up and loving it! It it a great show and worth the effort!
