the twins turn 5

Wow I have two five year olds! Ok it has been over a month! What fun they have been. they got spoiled this year. we didn't have a party for them this year we decided to just dedicate the whole day to whatever they wanted to do and we did it as a family. Then my friend falawn and her kids came over for dinner and desert. I think they loved the fact that they got whatever they wanted that day and got to play with their toys instead of sharing.


They got lots of presents



They opened presents right after breakfast and then we just played all day it amazes me how well they are at sharing a birthday, I know it wont always be this way but they enjoy it now and are truly best friends










Of course what would a birthday be without a nose butter. they were begging me to do it. Oh they have so much to learn about nose buttering :)

Ok so the cake was different this year. I always make them some elaborate cake but since we weren't having a party I wanted to just do easy cup cakes but they kept fighting over what cupcakes they wanted so one day I told them how about no cake just dirt, they laughed and continued to tell me what they wanted. I started saying no we are not having cake just dirt, mud and rocks. they just thought it was a joke boy were they surprised when there birthday came and I had no cake just a pot of potted flowers. The whole day they thought I was kidding. after dinner I pulled out my dirt desert and a shovel. It took some convincing but I finally took a bite, well ty took a bite owen said I will let ty take a bite and see if it is good. Tyson took a bite and said "its only a little good" they crack me up. I finally got owen to take a bite. after that I explained it was cookies and pudding. The chocolate rocks also to a lot of convincing. for like 3 weeks after that owen told me he loves dirt.
