What not to wear

Trying to get the boys ready in the morning is not always a smooth sailing process. They just love their jammies. I even set out clothes for them to wear and their daddy has a race with them to see who can get dressed first. That has been working for a little while, but lately we have hit a little snag. Now they insist they pick out their own clothes. One problem is that AJ will only wear long-sleeves shirts, even if it is 75 degrees out. He says that he just will push his "arm sleeves" up if it gets hot out. He also prefers pants and says he will push the "leg sleeves" up if his legs get hot.

Another problem is that they are the slowest to get ready and usually have a fight over certain articles of clothing. It take them awhile to negotiate- it goes something like this:

A: (Crying) I want to wear the orange shorts. I found them first. (I told AJ he had to wear shorts today, so he was already upset).
P: You need to ask me if you can wear them. It is good manners.
A: Patwick, can I please wear the orange shorts?
P: Let me think...(pause with his finger on his chin)...sure.
A: Yea! (grabbing for the shorts)
P: You need to tell me "thank you, Patwick".
A: Thank you, Patwick.
P: You're welcome.

The sad thing is that P didn't even want to wear the shorts until his brother told him he wanted them P likes to wear "comfy shorts" with no zippers. AJ also complained all morning that his legs were "coldy" and he wanted to wear pants. Gotta love 4 year old quirks.

Reuse and tricycles

This weekend was gorgeous. We were treated to Spring/ Summer like weather and even managed to get a play date with Sarah, Beck and Max. The boys were so excited to see their friends, but it is funny that both sets just want to play with their respective twin. The ocean views at Hilltop park were phenomenal.

We did get a treat after our play date, a huge bag of Beck and Max's old clothes. Yippee. THANK YOU!!! There were even some Wisconsin Badger shirts in the mix! The boys loved the rain boots and wore them home from the park and into the Vons. After "nap" found that rain coats were also included. They insisted that they get in their new rain gear (over the pajamas they put on when they were suppose to be napping- another story) and ride their trikes in the 75 degree weather.

The twinado is off! PJ is in blue boots. He called the straps to pull up the boots "ears".
