Feeling hot hot hot

On Saturday we went to Spring Daze, an arts and crafts festival in town. Jon and I were amazed at how much the boys have grown since last year's Spring Daze.

Last year, the boys played on the toddler playset. This year, the boys were able to climb this 6+ foot ladder on the big kid playset themselves.



Last year, the boys noticed ducks but did not want to stick around for long. This year, the boys asked for money to buy duck food then talked to the ducks while feeding them.

Last year, the boys pointed at the fire truck. This year, Nate "drove" it three times and told me, "Shut the door. I don't want to see you and I want to drive it all by myself."


It was fun but it was so hot and by the end, we were all cranky and tired. We're in the middle of a 90+ degree heatwave. While this weather is not unusual for North Carolina, it is very unusual for April. To help relieve some heat, I bought miniature ice cream drumsticks for us to enjoy. This was a good call as it inspired Nate to stop his cheese face and give us real smiles for the camera.

That's so cute that he told you to shut the door. You guys are having warmer weather than Texas......plus you have the humidity!

LOL, I love those blatant comments like, "I don't want to see you." Clearly, you were interfering with his reality. Oh, the audacity!

What a great day, despite the heat! William had his friend Sydney over yesterday (a girl), and they sitting on the front steps and when went outside to check on them, William said, "Go away, Daddy!" It's hard to get used to them not wanting us around after they've wanted nothing more than us around ALL THE TIME for the last 3 years! LOL.

Hi Laura! Thanks so much for your support and encouragement! I'm going to get the book you recommended. Tonight, I was showing some friends your twin pregnancy pictures and they were all looking at me trying to envision what's to come - wow! Thanks for sharing them.
