"Sooooo tight!"

"Okay Kristin...all done!  Let go of me!"

Party Invitations

Putting the girls to work...cheap labor.  They are such great helpers!

They are stuffing their birthday invitations in the envelopes.

Guessing Time

Man I love these girls!  It is guessing time again - let's try something a little different...a picture together!

Baring Bellies Already

Walt walked into the playroom to see this:

"What is this?"  You may be wondering to yourself...That doesn't look like a big deal...Kristin just has a shirt on like a normal child.

"But why is it so tight?"

"And why can't Camryn get hers on?"

(These pictures remind me of Ace Ventura being birthed like a rhinoceros)

Success!!

Well these "shirts" are a wee bit tiny because they are Onesies - size "Just Born" and "Up to 1 Month".  They are meant for the girls' baby dolls to wear.  Apparently Kristin thought it made a nice top.  I really don't know how they got their arms in there...or their bodies for that matter.  Up to 1 month is basically the same as 36 months...right??

Following in His Footsteps

Perhaps the girls will follow in their Uncle Luke's footsteps...

Setting up the perfect shot

New IHOP Commercial

So who remembers the Rooty Tooty Fresh and Fruity IHOP commercials?  I think we have two new spokespeople...

Camryn is wearing the red dress w/black waistband and Kristin is wearing the black w/pink waistband.  I actually made these dresses myself...from a man's dress shirt. 

Swimming with Grandma

It isn't summer in Texas without lots of swimming!  Grandma Erlinger took us out to a local water park that is a great size for the girls to enjoy.  They aren't real big on the water spraying in their faces, but they loved swimming around with their Puddle Jumpers.

Guessing Time ***UPDATED***

Guessing time again! 

***Apparently this was a hard one because only 1 person (out of 5 - I had a few e-mails in addition to the comments below) got the girls right!  Way to go Ruth!

Sewing

I've been neglecting the blog partially because I've started sewing!  I'm not sure why I didn't start sewing earlier in life, but I'm having so much fun with it now.  As usual, the girls had to get in on the action and help me out.  I was working on a surprise for "baby Mark" (as the girls call their soon to be born cousin) and they helped me out.  One helped me turn the material while the other one helped advance the needle.  Then they switched places.

Kindermusik Class

Me and the girls tried out a Kindermusik class with our twin group.  It is kind of like story time at the library, but with bells, rattles and beach balls.  The girls were a little overwhelmed because there were 20 kids there, but they had fun and played along with the games.

We made a sheet into an ocean for the beach balls to roll around on

Beach balls attack!

Hello?? (Kristin)

Hi Mommy! (Camryn)

Painting

New favorite thing to do...paint!  I found some small birdhouses on clearance for $0.50 and let the girls pick out one color of paint to use.  I have to admit that I was a little apprehensive to let them paint.  I feared a huge mess, but I should have known better.  My sweet little OCD babies asked for a wipe every time they got a little on their hands.  That is...until they started painting their hands to make hand prints.
