Who am I ?

I am a Mother of twin girls and everyday is a new adventure for my family. Between school, work, gymnastics, friends and a large family there is never a dull moment in our life. I thought I would share with anyone who would listen...enjoy!

Catholic School paying off!

So most kids like to pretend play...princess, ninja, house, pirates....anything right? Well, my girls are no different, they love to pretend play and dress up. Their imaginations amaze me, but, today they really blew me away.
I was talking to Mom (as I do most of the day) and came downstairs to find my 4 year old playing the "Birth of Baby Jesus". The slightly older of the two was Baby Jesus and her sister was Mary, it was quite a sight. They were dressed with shirts on their heads to look like vails and everything. They asked me to get off the phone to play the roll of Joseph and I told them I wanted to be the donkey and they just chuckled. When I wrapped up the call, they had retreated to Emily's room just staring at their bookshelf. I asked what they were looking for and was ignored. All of sudden Emily ran into the other room and I heard her say "I got it", it was the story of the birth of Baby Jesus. I asked if she wanted me to read them the story and she said "no, we have to use it for reference."
Too cute!!! Love the fact they were pretend playing Baby Jesus, but, loved it even more they wanted it to be accurate.
Kids never cease to amaze!

We have dressed up like Mary here and worn rosary beads as a necklace. The kids love to clean Baby Jesus off in front of the house when he is covered with snow too (Christmas decoration) They get very worried about him!
