life with two sets of twins
Every year we try to visit our favorite pumpkin patch/apple orchards but we have been slacking this year! Even though it was a cold fall day, we still packed up the kids and brought them. We leave for vacation in just a few days, so I wanted to make sure we got it in before we left. Our favorite place to visit is Schwalliers Country Basket.
Halloween is our JAM over here and if you couldn’t tell, I like to take an absurd amount of pictures of my kids. Put those two things together and you get stuff like this. Honestly, I was scrolling Pinterest late at night and saw all these fun ideas so I thought I’d do it for Harper and Mason too. It was so easy to throw together and they loved it!
I always get so excited when my friend Courtney over at Sprispals asks me if I want to participate in her photo-shoots! It’s fun to help support my friend and her business but I also get some really cute pictures of my kids! Some of my most FAVORITE pictures of my kids came from these shoots. This time around the girls were at their dads house so they weren’t able to join in the fun.
I’m a part of a million mom groups on social media and I’ve noticed a trend on what is talked about within the group. It’s usually other moms giving their medical diagnoses, complaining about husbands who don’t understand and what our little ones are eating. Once you have your own child, you think you’re an expert on parenting, don’t deny it… we all think our way is the right way. Well, not all children are the same. Maybe your 12 month old is a pro at eating solids but someone else’s 12 month old might not be even close to being ready to start solids. This is when its best to seek out expert opinions, rather than trying to see what Betty from the mom group is doing with her child.
I honestly can’t believe my babies had their SECOND birthday party. I was just telling Cody that I can’t even remember what life was like without our little twinners. He said he can remember how easy it was (LOL). Ahh, yes they may make traveling, or leaving the house in general and sleeping in more complicated but I think we’ll keep them. 😉
I had so much fun preparing for their party this year! I was searching for a cute theme and it’s hard to find one that is gender neutral. Everything is either super girly or super boyish. I finally landed on the “TWO”tti Frutti theme and I’m so happy with how it turned out!
