It's pretty rare that Mike & I go somewhere and are not asked questions or hear comments about C&P. Some are hilarious, some are understandable, & some are just down-right annoying. Let's begin with a video...it's pretty spot on!

Yum, Fall!
Fall is hands-down my favorite season. The changing leaves, cool crisp weather, comfy sweaters (Ok, I really meant hoodies) & APPLE ORCHARDS! Mike & I had plans to put the kids in swim lessons or "toddler spaz class" this fall, but we didn't. Why?...because we would have our Saturdays eaten up with indoor activities instead of enjoying the weather! True story. So, classes are on hold until the winter session, and we are chowing down on Macintosh apples!! We went to the All Seasons Apple Orchard in Woodstock last weekend.
Our goal was strictly to pick apples! $20 & two 1/2 peck bags later we were off! We took a wagon ride to the orchard, and realized when we got there that C&P like to explore! Paige went one way and Cam went another way! Once we wrangled Frick & Frack (the names I use when they are being a little on the naughty side) we headed to Mike's favorite apples, Macintosh. C&P HAD A BLAST! They loved being able to pick an apple off the tree and eat it, or pick apples up off the ground and throw them! Of course they tried to eat the rotten apples from the ground, and of course Cam found the GROSSEST apple in Illinois...but what can you do?! Paige ate almost 4 apples that day, and Cam ate 2. Needles to say dinner was sketchy that night! Here's some of my favorite photos from that day...

Thirteen Thoughts for Thursday
13 Random Thoughts/Updates
1. Paige hates when she sees us cut her food. She forces me to hide while I cut her food.
2. Cam is obsessed with circles. Like, carries them around all day obsessed.
3. In August we figured out that Paige has acid reflux. It was 5 months of her throwing up 3-5 times a week before she started taking liquid gold! My washer was getting quite the workout!!
4. Toddlers do not like getting their teeth brushed, at all.
5. Cam thinks that running in place is called jumping. Hmmm...
6. C&P sleep for 11.5 glorious hours every night (in their own rooms) and take 1 nap a day. They are ROCKSTARS!
7. Their new favorite vegetables to eat are carrots. Mom approved!
8. Cam is really from Boston because he says things like "caa" & ""paak" (car & park)
9. C&P are very good at telling you what they don't want (saying "No" & throwing things), but they can't tell you what they do want (saying "yes", pointing, ect).
10. We don't own a cat! Poor Milo was sent to live with his Aunt Michelle & Uncle Marc. He has a new step-brother named Kanu, and word on the street is that they were spooning within a week! Did you know that Mike is/and has been allergic to cats forever?
11. Sippy cups can be weapons.
12. We are not just surviving, but thriving! Mike & I have a good hold of this whole twin thing, but please no more babies! (Note: There is a deal that if Mike wins the lotto #3 will be on it's way {or #3 & #4}, but I'm not a lotto believer!) They fly out two at a time, no thank you.
13. C&P will be TWO in 3 months, THREE MONTHS!!
Photo Note: As a Teacher of the Visually Impaired, I encouraged this hands-on tactile "fun" ...and the bath tub was all ready to go.
