Happy National Twin Day! Apparently, this is a weekend long celebration, according to whoever decides these types of things, but we will go with it! We are usually up for any excuse to celebrate, and these boys are definitely celebration worthy!

After the night time and nap time debacles we had the past few days, we were hoping for an easy night but that did not happen. At all. Even a little bit. The boys destroyed their mattress and each blamed the other for doing it. They knew I was livid with them and they wouldn’t even look me in the eyes. They now lost their mattresses too and will probably blame me for their back pain from sleeping on the floor when they are older, but they need to learn.

We spent the morning at a farm and had so much fun! The kids played, ran around having races with each other, and were only slightly terrified of the animals, so that was a win. They also loved sitting on an old tractor and pretending to drive.

Jackson and Joseph, I never planned on, or expected to have twins. You were the best surprise to Mommy and Daddy. I will always remember the day that we found out there were TWO of you in there, and not just one! It was incredible, scary, and exciting all rolled in to one. You make me crazy at least some point of each day, and you outsmart us with your twin powers, but you give me just as much love and just as many laughs. Daddy and I look at you sometimes when you sleep (on the rare occasions that happens) and say “can you believe we have twins?!” Almost three years later, and it is still unbelievable to us. We really do know and appreciate how fortunate we are to have you two silly bananas. We love you with all our hearts and are so proud of the little people you are becoming. We mostly love the bond that you share with each other. You are so in tune with each other and love each other in such a real, beautiful way. You also love your sister so much, and watching the three of you together is nothing short of spectacular. It really is amazing. We can’t wait to watch you grow up all together. So, Happy Twin Day, my sweet boys. May you always have each other and may you always celebrate this day!

By the way, we got you a “Happy Twin Day” cake but the guy at the bakery must have been new. He was so proud of his work, that I didn’t want to burst his bubble. I even had to spell twin for him… At least it was delicious. Happy Twin!
