Halloween Costume Ideas

stephanie — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 03:20:00 +0000

We tried on the boys’ costumes from last year and they still fit, but the boys absolutely do NOT like having something over their heads. This rules out lots of cute costumes for toddlers.

I would like to hear your ideas for Halloween Costumes for twin boys, with no masks or head pieces. Hats might be okay, but probably wouldn’t last long. We are currently thinking of Ketchup and Mustard, but would love to have more ideas.

Ezra does the laundry

He unloaded the washer all by himself, my husband grabbed the camera when he was just about finished. He then decided to start a new load.

Yes I am late again, we had another fun filled Friday morning with another refusal to take our entire nap.

Jumping and playing the piano.

Not an approved piano playing method.

Building a tower with Grandpa, seconds before the collapse due to Ez's elbow.

Sticking legos up Noah's shirt.

Ez singing, Noah wonder why we won't let him out.

Playing with Asher and Gabriella.

Two sets of Ethiopian twins.

Ez Playing with Gabriella.

Noah moving in.

Current obsession, putting those bead necklaces in tupperware.

Ez shaking his necklace.

Cutie.

Ez.

Attack mom! (hard to see, but I am on my back and he is on my stomach)

Ez decided he should try mom surfing, I should really work on a six pack.

Yes it was Ez in the art easel. He was so hard to get out because he refused to squat back down, he wanted out the top!

Noah and his sunglasses.

Guessing Game

I took a picture yesterday and didn’t realized how zoomed in I was. I thought it would be fun to have a little guessing game with it.

Guess WHO it is and WHAT he is stuck in!

Pop. Pop. Pop.

Canvas on Demand Deal

stephanie — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 15:35:50 +0000

Remember a while back when I blogged about a friend raffling off a gift certificate to Canvas on Demand? Well we won that raffle and ordered our Canvas, two to be exact, and we love them.

Hanging above the piano

Close-up view

View of the sides, we couldn't do the wrap look, because the one in the wagon would have cut Ez's head off.

The boys love saying bye-bye to the babies on the wall.

If you are interested Groupon is having a deal today for the 16×20 Canvas for $45, this is the size we have.

If you ever wonder…

what happens on the rare occasion that mom gets to use the bathroom all by herself.

You go from a scene like this...

to this!

Yes I realize it is Sunday, but Friday was busy and some people refused their nap!

Since Kim thinks the boys are always happy, I thought I would show you their unhappy faces. Ezra's.

Noah's. He likes to show us his a lot these days.

Always looking for something to stand on, the mini mesob we brought home from Ethiopia makes a good step stool.

Don't bother me I'm eating.

Seriously, don't bother me.

I think you missed your mouth.

Rain fun = wet boy.

Rain + dirt = muddy boy.

Having a ton of fun!

Cute, dirty boy.

It's raining, so logically you need to get water from your pool and start watering plants.

Thirsty boy.

Going to have to ask the sitter what they did.

Sometimes you need to eat your breakfast with your giraffe.

Little milk mustache.

Rockin' a milk mustache too.

Vacuum Attachment Wars!

What we've been eating.

Talking to Papa on the phone.

When you are done playing with your children, please be sure to put them away.

I am not sure if they were wrestling each other or the sheet.

Giggling.

About to attack.

Lots of giggles.

They have discovered that they can move chairs around to get to things.

Free closet organizer!

stephanie — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 22:06:38 +0000

Okay it isn’t really an organizer, but it was a free and easy fix for the boys’ closet. When I lamented on Facebook about not having a dresser big enough to fit the boys’ t-shirts so they could pick their own, a friend suggested a free, easy fix. A pole with rope! Wouldn’t you know we had an old broom handle and a random length of rope lying around? Matt had it up within minutes of me telling him the idea. Noah happily chose his own shirt (and Ezra’s) on Sunday, shockingly he chose matching ones. Then today they both chose their own.

*I do not think they need a bigger dresser, it is a very nice dresser/diaper changing combo, but it is full of cloth diapers, shorts and pajamas.

Excuse me

stephanie — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 15:49:09 +0000

We are working on the boys saying excuse me after they burp. When they burp we simply prompt them to say “excuse me.” Ezra says something that sorta sounds like excuse me. Noah on the other hand pats his chest and says what clearly sounds like “mommy.” Guess he is already blaming me?
