It's Official

They are Teenagers. The boys turn 13 today. I am not kidding when I say it was just yesterday that they were toddlers, cruising around on tricycles, watching Blues Clues, eating spaghetti in their jeans with no shirt (screw the bibs I said!), and wearing their signature "red shoe on" (they wore red Vans sneakers for their toddler years and thats what they called them, twin speak I suppose). The years have literally flown by. My little boys are gone. Enter puberty (uggh), girls (gasp), learners permits (God help us all) and High School (NOOOOOOO!). They will always be my babies and I love them to the moon and back. Gotta go cry now. Let the games begin!

The worlds unhappiest Jester

So, the boys are studying Medival History in school. They were given a project of making thier own costumes by themselves for a field trip to Medival Times. Given a pattern by thier teacher they went to town on them. This photo was taken this morning as we were leaving for school. Well Conner (blue and red) was WAY to into his costumes and LOVED the tights.....I think a little too much. He said he felt like Nigel Tufnel in Spinal Tap (I had to double check to see if he was commando as he decided not to go with the customary bloomer pant, luckily for his class he had boxers on). Reed on the other hand was geeked up on the idea of the costume UNTIL he tried it on with the tights. He decided that the tights were stupid and was pissed because I made him wear them. Check out Reed's sweet jester shoes we found, $2 at the Salvation Army!!!
