Catching Up, Again...

Oh, has it already been a month since my last post? Ooops!  I guess all this awesome weather, and that whole work thing, has caused me to fall behind.  Let's just do a photo recap...


We still line things up, & have declared ourselves carnivores.
 
We like to be "warm & cozy."
 
Paper bags are our favorite...Robot Twins!
 
We write with chalk, & have are learning our boundaries outside (very important!)
 
We like to channel the Great Bambino.
 
The Dollar Tree rocks! 
How do all little boys know how to make that shooting gun noise?
 
Jedi's come in all genders.
 
We are OBSESSED with Disney princess ANYTHING!
 
We love dressing up, & suckers.
 
We always have puzzles on the brain!  He even sleeps with them...
 
Need gift ideas?...Disney Store.
 
He may be tiny, but he can pump his legs!
 
We have long, curly hair!
 
We love carnival rides, & Mom doesn't have heart attacks anymore when we get on!
 
We love hanging out with our BFFs!
 
We love Friday Pizza Night with Mom & Dad!
 
We multi-task.
 
No words.
 
We are oblivious that Mom is hoarding photos for a wedding montage video.
 
We eat pizza with Grandpa, "Auntie" Marc, Aunt 'Shell & her bun in the oven, after bedtime!
 
We dress to impress...
 
 
We are loving Beauty & the Beast...everyday.
 
We love Playdoh?
 
 
Again, we multi-task.
 
We help Mom with the laundry!
