D, D, E, and E

They were conducting music

A sampling of dirty feet

7:00 am banana snack on the tramp for some hungry monkeys

Apple picking
The local army in our area (Carter, Toni-friend, Aaron, Derek)
My niece and nephew came for a visit and boy did we have a good time. Darylyn and Derek are four, and Emma and Emily are two. Now try saying all those names at the same time and not getting tongue tied. From early in the morning to right before bed they were playing together. They were soldiers and princesses, monkeys, artists, tramp jumpers, and the majority of the time, dirty little kids. They were outside shoeless almost the entire day, and dirty black feet were the result.
We only had a few casualties. First, Emma cut Emily's hair! Then the following day Emma cut her own hair! That was not funny. We had a few cut toes because no one wanted to listen and wear shoes. And Carter got a little cut on his eye from battle.

It was a complete JOY to have them all to ourselves. They are very obedient kids. And it gave me a small taste at what having two sets of twins would be like! I'll take the singles.

Oh you'd have a great time with twins Leslie! I want to see hair cut pics. Kathrine was the hairdresser at our house around that age. She really cut hers short.
