Some things you just don't want to find out.

Just a minute ago, I was in the kitchen cleaning up from lunch. Brooklyn and Hannah were playing in the other room. Suddenly, I hear Brooklyn chanting, "I've got a booger! I've got a booger." Um, gross!

I don't even dare go look. Someone please hold me.

Birthday Party Fun

We hosted a birthday party for the girls and some friends of theirs. This is how I decorated for the party: (Princess and pink, of course)
The girls had pizza for lunch.
And, personalized cupcakes for dessert. Yummy!



Brooklyn looking cute while sporting a new tutu:

Hannah looked adorable in her tutu, too. (Was that too many to's?)


I think the girls all had a good time. We invited Hannah and Brooklyn's playgroup friends, Emily, Kaitlyn, and Olivia. We also invited their cousins, Kennedy and London, and their friend, Avery.

What a fun day!

Happy late Birthday, Brooklyn and Hannah!!

I can't believe my girls are already three years old! They are such a joy in our lives. I LOVE these little girls so much!!

I often have people ask me if they have similar personalities. Um, not really. Sure, they both love everything princess and like the same movies, but they are definitely their own little people. If you've ever wondered how your own children can be so different being raised in the same house by the same parents can be so different, it's amazing to see how it happens with twins. Brooklyn loves to please people, and is a little on the sensitive side. She loves to give hugs and kisses and cuddle. She also has a flair for the dramatic. Hannah is a little more stubborn, but she is hilarious. She has to narrate her day and tell me everything that she's doing and why. (Funny thing is, Greg tells me that I do the same thing.) She's a little harder to get a hug and kiss from, but she is very loving. She's just a little too busy to be giving out hugs and kisses all the time.

Despite their very different personalities, Hannah and Brooklyn are each other's BEST FRIENDS. Wherever one goes, the other is sure to follow. I think that having twins is definitely the way to go since they always have a built-in buddy. I love to see the interaction between the two of them. They truly do care for each other. It's really sweet.

Anyway, Happy Birthday, girls!! We love you!!

My sleepy Hannah

Hannah is so sweet. When she's tired, she'll just fall asleep wherever she is. She's been known to fall asleep on the floor, on an uncomfortable little wooden bench the girls have, at the counter, and many times in the car.

Well, the other day she was watching me while I was doing something in the kitchen. Apparently, she just couldn't take it anymore and fell sound asleep at the counter. Here are a couple pictures of her sleeping. ** And, yes, that's a Gospel Art Kit she is resting her head on. **




Lipstick, anyone?

Brooklyn is OBSESSED with putting on "lips," as she calls it. She loves Lip Smackers, Chap Stick, and (unfortunately) lipstick. She can't get enough of the stuff. She'll come up to me and say, "Mom, I want some lips."


Well, this is how she came in to me the other day after getting into some of my lipstick. I think she did a rather good job putting it on, especially for a two, almost three year-old.
