Salute Your Shorts

Today one of my Twins, Parker......saluted the flag in a very different way. As you see he is wearing patriotic colors. He was having a great time playing at the Orlando Science Center when his pants fell down.  oops!  I accidentally caught this little accident on camera when I was taking a wide angle shot of my twins playing in the water.  I think it is pretty amusing. Plus he had no idea his pants came down. They had a great time playing though!! The kids had a fun time playing at the Orlando Science Center's 4th of July Celebration. It rained pretty badly for a few hours this evening, so I am kind of glad we scratched our outdoor plans at the last minute. I imagine we would have 5 wet kids, one wet stroller and a lot of glum faces if we had gone ahead with the outdoor 4th of July Festival I had planned for us to attend.  I am sure by the end of the night we would have seen some nice fireworks but it may have been a hard road getting there.  We felt, at times like we had the whole Science Center to ourselves. There were people there but not too many. We did not see many great fireworks though. The view from their rooftop terrace was lovely but the fireworks were too low at times to see and too far away. The kids did get to have some fun though and in the a/c with no mosquitoes!  score!

3rd Birthday

Graham and Parker will be 3 on April 21st. Their birthday party was yesterday. The cake was an issue though.
I arrived at Publix at 9 am.  The cake was supposed to be ready. hmm, well they had a cake ready. The problem is. it was the wrong cake.  I was sp upset that all I saw was the red,  brown and the gray.

 I had a mild panic attack that that point.

I saw no animals.  I saw no lush green grass and flower patches.  I only saw the the drab looking cake for a second.

This is what the cake looked like that they tried to give me..............
It is not that bad but to me it looks liked hell.  However this is the Publix version.
The decorator's version of this cake was way darker, way more drab and depressing, and it looked like a sad and depressing birthday cake.
l.

 This is the cake I ordered........we did not get this exact version of the cake but the version we did get was decent.  See photo at the top of this post for the cake we received.
I had to spend an hour at the grocery store waiting for the replacement cake. The party did go well. Graham and Parker had a fantastic time too.  That is all that counts. I just hope Publix never messes up our cake order again. Not to be rude but the decorater they used needs to go take more decorating lessons. She is starting off with too dark of colors for one. The cake she tried to give me with the volcanoes and wrecked plane......it was so very dark and depressing looking. It was not for some depressing biurthday. It was for a Happy Birthday!!  Happy means bright colors to little kids.  I like to give bright colored things to little kids.
It makes them, well....happy!

Pics..........


We started the party off with an Easter Egg Hunt!! Instead of giving all of the children a goofy bag at the end of the party. They all recieved a plastic easter basket/pail and got to go on an egg hunt. They kept the pail and whatever eggs they collected...and the prizes inside!! They LOVED it!!

















Here are a few shots of them opening some of their awesome presents!! They loved everything!!!
I gave them a few of mine early and they have one big one for their actual Birthday on the 21st!! Yay!!!







Happy Birthday Guys!!  Love You!!!

The Shining, TMMB Closing, & other stuff

It has been an interesting week.

I am in a ton of pain still from my stroller workout on Tuesday with Sunshine Moms.
WOWSA!!!

Twins Magazine is closing their magazine, website, and message boards after 27 years of service.....so I asked them tonight if I can buy the message boards. I have a lot of friends that post there and they are all very sad about this.

The messages the many many many members are leaving on the message boards about it closing, are sad and overwhelming.  I really hope they have the heart to sell it to me *cheap*  I have made a little message board here on my blog for them all but it is not the same. In time it could be nice but why throw away a bag of apples if they are not ROTTEN yet??  I owned and operated a-mommys-world.com for nearly 12 years and I know how to operate a vbulletin. Heck I know how to install a vbulletin and it's database as well as tweak them when they need, repair them when they need, etc.

It would be inconsiderate of them not to sell it, the members want it, so why delete it?

Anyways, on to other things.

Graham and Parker have been very very active this week...and having lots of fun. Parker has become attached to this toy called a weazel ball. He is in love with it and calls it squishy. Seriously, squishy.  *lol*

He carries it everywhere, even to playdates. Graham always wants to play with it. He says "share a minute, ok" but Parker says  "No, my squishy". I will have to get Graham one next week. I never thought I would need two weazel balls.

Honestly I bought it to torment my cats. Parker was frightened of it for the first week we had it. Now it is his best friend.

  Weasel ball, a face only a mother could love  *giggle*


Last night they dressed me up in Mr Potato head's hat and eye glasses. I am pretty sure I looked ridiculous. They tackled me though so,. I had no choice but to be their own Mrs Potato Head. They kind of do that a lot lately. They gang up on their older brother and sisters and sometimes can tackle them down to the ground.  all in good fun though.

They have been eerily saying the same things at the precise same times this week. It's weird. They are fraternal and look nothing alike.

We had to visit the pediatrician today because we thought Graham had pink eye, it turns out he does not and it was just something irritated his eye and caused it to get pinkish and swollen up some. It turns out he has some allergy issues and has to take some OTC allergy stuff for a few days. Poor guy.  He has some allergy issues also with our Christmas Tree so I had to give our Christmas Tree the boot today...it was time for it to go anyways.

So when we were leaving the Pediatricians office, I ask them to say Thank you...

They both said it in sync. The doctor was a little spooked and said...Oh.... in stereo wow.

hahahah

Oh and this week they have been oddly appearing in the photos I take...like those twins in The Shining.  Seriously...

Notice how they just sort of appear oddly in each pic... almost like they are observing everyone..  hahahahahah  :P

I love having Twins, what a trip!
