Twin Fun

DAD came up for a visit recently. The Family went to a park and then to the mall.

Grandma bought Liesel her dress in Hawaii. No it is not made out of curtains.

It is a good thing they cannot yet read or they might not have wanted to ride the ATV.

Tulips

LAST Fall Dad planted tulip bulbs.

Hi Foodie!

DAD may have taken a break from blogging but he has not forgot about you. Let's make chicken parm.

Adorable

EJ needs a hug.

They are very empathetic to each other. Liesel will say, "That's okay." when he is upset. 

This morning EJ sneezed. She said, "Bless you." He replied, "Thank you." She followed with, "You're welcome." It was the cutest exchange. Where do they learn this stuff?

But pictures can be deceiving. What was happening above was actually a manipulation. Liesel wanted the toilet paper roll he was holding. He didn't want to let it go. So she grabbed his head and hugged him as an attempt to distract him so she could grab it from him. It didn't work.

"Quit Jumping on the ____________ (bed, couch, chair, choose one)"

SAYING "no" and "stop" or "quit" all of the time gets tiring so Dad wanted them to have an alternative. So they received a bouncer for Christmas.

Dad's Christmas Gift

DAD has a fondness for certain types of candy (especially when it is marked down for clearance). Grandma sent some along for Christmas. The kids got to them first. By the time Dad went to eat some, this is what he found,

Normally there are two trays of five cordials each. Dad was lucky to get two.

Sleeping Bags

GRANDMA gave EJ and Liesel sleeping bags for Christmas. So far the Twins seem happy with them.

Donna please let Heidi know that Dad is blogging again.
