Sunday was another perfect day where we spent most of the day outside. It was also a day of labor. Jon moved the rain barrel from the mosquito-y side of the house to the garden side of the house. I expanded out my vegetable plot so it is twice the size it was last summer. I'm still tired today thinking about all the digging, stone setting, and dealing with southern red clay. Then I hosted a moms-night-in potluck for my moms group and we sat on the deck all night.
Through most of the day, the boys played on their own. This led to some spectacular fights. A couple of times, Alex picked up a bat and chased Nate yelling, "I'm going to hit you Nate Case!" (And each time I said, "That's time out Alex Case!") But it also led to some spectacular playing together.
As I was setting some stones, I heard the boys yelling in the playhouse. I turned to find them each on one side of a playhouse window, leaning in and out shouting, "Avocado!" then giggling hysterically. Again and again they leaned through the window, shouted "Avocado!" and laughed.
When they talk about twin language, I think I finally get what they're talking about. The entire scene made no sense to anyone but them but I couldn't help but laugh along myself.

I wonder what was so funny about Avocado? You'll probably never know. It sounds like everyone had lots of fun.
Maybe they just think the word sounds funny? I remember when we learned the word for cod fish in Spanish - "bacalao" - we all thought it sounded so ridiculous we had to laugh and just kept repeating it. And we were in high school :)
That is a great story!
I have twin boys who are 8 months. I really enjoyed this sneak peak!

And Twins make 5!
Avacado is one of my kids favorite words. I don't know why they find it hilarious.
Brotherly love!
