The girls are saying such funny things lately, it's getting hard to keep track of them all without writing it down immediately; good news for you folks out there enjoying this blog! I will be updating frequently.
On Saturday, I like to take the girls into the District (Wash DC) to the neighborhood I grew up, to be specific. We go to a park I played in as a young child too, so it feels kind of sentimental. Of course, the equipment has been updated and I don't recall running on astroturf. Anyway, on the way there we came to a stop sign were there was a delapidated, boarded up house.
Helen said "That house is broken!"
Carolyn said "That door is broken, Mama. We need some tape!"
They are enjoying their visits to the grocery store, and I think they are actually starting to enjoy not dressing identically again, which is something of a relief. In my pre-Mom days, I thought it was SHAMEFUL that parents would dress their twins in the exact same outfit. However, I'm now understanding, via my personal experience, that it is sometimes a strong preference amongst identicals either boys or girls. Fraternal twins don't seem to have the same inclination, at least so the Moms of fraternals have told me.
We are finally enjoying true winter weather which means we are wearing coats now for a reason rather than just a theory. Of course, this event seems to correspond with two sisters for whom wearing a coat has become another negotiation issue. Our nightly tour of seeing Christmas lights has also come to a close not just because 80% of the folks in this neighborhood have taken them down but also because it's actually light out now at 5pm and we can still be outside without having to rush home. In case I hadn't noted this before, the nightly ritual for the last 6 weeks or so was to go
