The Spidey Twins
My two sons have picked their Halloween costumes for this year. My 5 year old chose Spiderman. Not to be outdone, my 3 year old also chose Spiderman. I guess this Halloween is a sequel to last Halloween when my oldest went as Spiderman, and my youngest went as Superman. Wow, they’ve really gotten creative [...]
Rumble In The Playroom
I was so impressed with the behavior of both of my sons at the birthday party for my 3 year old. We had a very small party for him. Only family members and our 7 year old neighbor attended. I thought my 5 year old was going to explode with jealousy when it came time [...]
