oh, your twins are so cute!

What? Is it just me, or do my children not look like twins? Not only that, but they don't even really look like sisters, they are that different in their looks. I know there are fraternal twins, but usually when someone mentions twins, I always think identical. But this is the fourth time in the past couple of months I have been told something about my "twins". I just don't get it, but I think people are just trying to be friendly and are not really looking at them too closely. It's kind of like when Lola was a baby - she was completely bald until she was one, so I used to dress her in a lot of pink so people would know she was a girl. But sure enough, 75% of the time, people would comment on my son.

It reminds me about something a friend's mom said when we were teenagers - 'people really focus most of their attention on themselves and very little on other people'. I know she said this to help us to be more self-assured at that oh-so-awkward stage, but I still think it applies. Yes, you do care about people (and of course you think about your friends/family), but I know I can be so caught up in my life that I may be friendly to someone at the store, but do I really pay close attention to them? I wonder how many times I've been the one to make the silly comment?

Anyhow, on a totally different note, I just wanted to brag about the best-husband-in-the-world I have. Kaz took the night to himself yesterday, but when he came home he brought me two books. So unexpected, and such a sweet gesture, I just had to let you guys know what a great guy I have.

is it as small as sperm?

Yep, you read that right. That was Lola's question to me today. Ever since she asked about babies, she has used "sperm" as how she compares the size of something small.

Today she accidentally knocked my glass off the table and it shattered on the floor. As I was cleaning it up, I talked about the shards of glass and how small they were. "Oh! Are they as small as sperm?" So then Bella chimes in, "what are sperm?". Lola very simply explains to her what they are and that they are very, very tiny. So then they go around the house picking things up and saying to each other, "is this as tiny as a sperm?".

Some days those girls just crack me up.

project #1, check

Yay! I am so excited my first project is D-O-N-E! It's 1 of 21, but still, it's nice to finally check something off my list!



I think the valances turned out really cute, it really brightened up the area. As Lola said, "Those look awesome, mom!". Yep, she's a keeper, that one!

Now on to the next project...
