Say what?!

The kids have been full of it lately, and we've been cracking up (and sometimes tearing up) at all they've had to say...

Maggie:  William, you time out!
---
Kirby:  I have scruffles on my face.
---
Megan: I'm so glad I got a new battery.  I've really missed my watch.
Kirby: I'm sure your watch really missed you, too, Mommy!
---
Kirby: Ethan, I'll be the mommy and you can be the husband...why won't you kiss me?
---
Megan: Kirby, where's William?
Kirby: Oh, just follow the trail of nuts.
---
Kirby: Mommy, you can throw my blankie in the trash.  I'm a big girl - I don't need it anymore.
Megan: Just because you're a big girl (sniff, sniff) doesn't mean you can't have a blankie - you can just keep it in your bed.
Kirby:  Well, then Daddy can put it in the attic.  I don't want it.
Megan:  (sniff, sniff) ok.
fast forward 3 hours
Kirby: Daddy, please put my blankie in the attic.  I don't need it anymore.  I'm a big girl.
Jim: ok (sniff, sniff as he tucks her into bed)
fast forward 15 minutes
Kirby:  Daddy, can you please bring me my blankie?!?
---
Maggie: I beautiful!
---
Kirby:  William, do you have salad poop?
TMI, I'm sure, but the twins have had what has been diagnosed as toddler's diar.rhea for almost 3 months, so WAY too much of our daily conversation includes diaper discussion.  she meant SOLID!!
---
William: God is gate.  thank you.  amen.

happy burd-day to you?!?

We’ve been “happy burd-day to you-ing” it for two weeks straight – seems appropriate because our TWINS are TWO!  We kicked off the festivities with a celebration in Beaumont over 4th of July weekend and finished it off with a day o’ fun in San Antonio last weekend.  Both were absolutely perfect and all about Maggie and William! 



Round 1:  Bouncing, beer & burgers thanks to Annie & DonDon and Niece & Py


 Maggie ran errands before the party with Annie and me and picked out this chair - she loved it! 

Mags loves her some Kirby!

Yummiest cupcakes ever!

 M&W sang "Happy Burd-day" to themselves!

William went straight for the icing and Mags quickly followed suit

Round 2: Kiddie Park thanks to Nana & Papa!

The kids were in heaven!   Kiddie Park was such a blast from the past - Jim & Julie went there as kids, and it reminded me so much of Camps Junction.  So, so fun!


No one gets more excited than Kirb-a-lirbs.  By far my favorite thing about her!!

Steering a carriage is serious business...

the "big" girls!

Elliot was so excited to play with Maggie and William - she is such a sweetheart!

Kirby was comforting Jim on the space ship ride - he was a little scared


Their first experience with cotton candy was a hit.  They inhaled it!  


We wrapped up the day with pool time, pizza & birthday cake!

Happy Birthday, sweet Maggie & William!
