Thursday already! Time sure flies when you have someone over to chat with. It has also been a very busy week. We did make it to taxes yesterday and are getting a refund this year YAY! Last year we had to pay a large chunk to the government.
Twin group was a go last night as well. We had a new family and everything, more identical twin girls – Corinn and Faith who are 4 years old. Also there was their little brother Cael (I love the spelling, he is 7 months old). Ken was ecstatic, not only did their father come… but Jocelyn’s (she also has identical twin girls 4 months younger than ours – Cassidy and Kayla) husband also came for the very first time! Over the past year I think the husband of the lady who started the group has come once, maybe twice. So Ken has felt a little like the sore thumb… not that he does not enjoy playing with the kids, they all love him.
This meeting we actually got around to sitting all the sets of twins down (all 4 sets) and taking a group picture! We are the only ones with boys and the only ones who did not dress our kids alike or the same that day. We have also decided to try and get two meetings a month planned – maybe we will get more families if we have a Monday date as well as our usual Wednesday and once spring and summer are here we are going to try and plan more extra events. Maybe we will even have another set of boy twins or even a set of boy/girl twins join… or the family that had the triplettes this year – once they get used to their new family.
I picked up Emanuel’s annoucement cards yesterday. They are wonderful so watch your mailboxes – once I get them all filled out we are going to start mailing them out. Walmart randomly throws in sheets of pictures that you can buy for a pretty decent price and this time they had thrown some in our envelopes. Of course I caved and bought them, It only cost a little over 20.00 to get two oversized wallets of each shot along with a 5 slot matt to put them in. I am such a sucker when it comes to pictures, if it is a cute shot my first reflex is to buy a sheet.. I guess that is why Ken always sticks to me like glue when we make the decisions on what we are going to buy. This time I was really good and only got the free 8X10 and 100 cards we needed.. and then those extra pictures after the fact. 
Tonight Kathy and I are ditching the big boys with Ken and going out to do a little shopping. Emanuel gets to tag along of course. I am looking forward to a little girl time outside of the house. I am still on the look out for a nice outfit for Emanuel for Easter and now that he is a little bigger we may have some more options.
I guess I have to force myself to sit down and fold all the clean laundry the twins were kind enough to spread all over the livingroom floor. I have attatched a picture of the "Apple Hat" and of course the row of twins (Zander is in red, Gavin cream)….
