Snow White and the 2 Dwarfs?

The boys got to dress up as fairy tale characters today for school. Since I'm not very crafty or creative, I drew whiskers on them with eyeliner and colored the tips of their noses and sent them both as the Big Bad Wolf. On the way to school, Twin B told me he thought everyone where I work should dress up as fairy tale characters today too. I asked him who he thought I should dress up as. He thought about it for a while and finally said he thought I looked like Snow White (awwww, he is going to be a charmer). Then he said "Mommy, you'll always be Snow White and we'll always be your 2 drawfs." Isn't he just the sweetest little thing?

First Visit from the Tooth Fairy

Twin B lost his first tooth yesterday! He was so excited to see what the tooth fairy would leave him. Twin A got a little mopey about NOT having a loose tooth yet. I know Twin B had the tooth (wrapped in a little bit of plastic wrap) in his pocket when we got home, but he somehow managed to lose it before bedtime. I assured him the tooth fairy would still visit. This morning I could hear his shrieks of delight as he screamed at his brother that the tooth fairy left him a dollar! He'll probably take to busting his teeth out with a hammer now. The tooth fairy is going to have to stock up on dollar bills with two sets of teeth on their way out!

Being in Love

Last night when I was putting the boys to bed Twin A asked me if I was in love with daddy. I told him that I wasn't in love with him anymore, but that I used to be in love with daddy. I was trying to prepare myself for the whole "how come you and daddy aren't married" conversation. That wasn't what he was getting at at all! He asked me who I was in love with, and I told him I wasn't in love with anyone but him and his brother. He asked me if I have a boyfriend, and I told him that I didn't have a boyfriend right now. He then tells me I need to get a boyfriend. I ask him why and he says...SO YOU CAN HAVE ANOTHER BABY! I guess every kid wants a little brother or sister at some point, and Twin A is ready for me to have a baby. Sorry kiddo...you two are it!

@ the Doctor's Office

Yesterday was a snow day for the kids. It snowed a tiny bit overnight so the schools were closed. The roads were fine, so I decided to go get an overdue allergy shot. Of course the boys are talking too loudly in the waiting room but were otherwise pretty good. Twin A says he needs to use the restroom so I point it out to him. After he goes in I tell him to shut the door, but he doesn't hear me so I get up and shut the door. When he comes out he asks me if I shut the door. I tell him I did because we shouldn't use the bathroom with the door open. He looks at me and says "Mommy, I just pulled my penis out!" There were a few people in the waiting room and I thought this one guy was going to fall out of his chair from laughing. I can't help but laugh too. I didn't bother to tell him that was the whole reason I wanted him to shut the door in the first place! I'm looking forward to the days the guys get some modesty...or does that ever happen to the male species?!?

These were taken Saturday at the Holiday parade and State Capitol lighting ceremony. The kids had fun watching the parade. They also did a few crafts and had free cookies and hot chocolate. It was really cold, and they were both starting to get a little cranky and impatient for the lighting ceremony. After the lights were turned on on the Capitol building there was a fireworks show. This was the first time the boys have seen a live fireworks show. They were in awe! They both said all the waiting and freezing was worth it to see the fireworks. I wish I'd been able to get some better pictures of them in and around the Capitol, but they don't like to stand still too long for me :D!

What are you and your families doing for the holidays? We usually get up to see what Santa brought the boys. We'll play for a little while then get cleaned up and go to my parents' house for brunch and more presents for the boys. Hopefully it will be a pretty laid back day.

Some cute stuff

Some of the cute things the boys have said recently:

We have been looking for a new artificial Christmas tree. We left a store the other day without one because I didn't like any of the ones I saw there. On the way home in the car, Twin A said "Why can't we just get an axe and cut down our own?"

On the way home the other day Twin B was looking out the car window at the moon and said "Mommy, I see a fingernail in the sky."

Tonight we went over to a friend's. Just as we pulled up outside her place, Twin A got a bloody nose. After we had been inside for a few minutes I noticed he wasn't holding tissue up to his nose anymore. I asked him if it had quit bleeding. He said "I think so. I can stick my finger up there and check if you want me to."
