Jeff and I have a this bad habit of giving gifts early. Maybe I should say I have a bad habit of not being able to keep secrets. When I buy gifts early I can’t stand the anticipation and end up giving the gifts early too. I suck at surprises. While I like to be surprised if I know there is a surprise coming I can’t stand it. I’m like a little kid. Anyway….we did it again. The babies birthday is not for another two weeks, but we gave them their gifts early. It’s not like they know or anything, right? Haha. They LOVE their new toys and I love that they keep the crazies occupied, it is a win-win situation. =)
I must have been crazy to think this was a good idea…..if picking up two hundred little plastic balls every night is your idea of fun then come on over!

They kick their little legs throwing the balls out. It is so cute to watch them bend over and wave their arms really wide…the balls go flying out.

We also got them the double seater Radio Flyer. This thing is great! Now that it is cooling off a tad we are taking morning walks. They love to look all around. Poor kids don’t even know what outside is. It was SO hot this summer that we spent 99.98% of the time indoors. I can’t wait for fall when we can actually get outside to play without melting.

Those wagons are the best. Ethan’s had cup holders and he would put his toys and snacks under the seats (like no one knew where they were) They are so big =) Call me for lunch one of these days.

Wow, what great toys they have now…You are like a
little kid with surprises…

You are too funny. I was the opposite this year, I just
bought birthday gifts a couple of days ago, and they were
lame ones (tub toys, and a thing with hammer and balls…
note to self, why is a hammer toy a good idea for twins?).
Isn’t the wagon awesome? Sadly here, it’s now getting
TOO cold to go outside. The ball pit looks fun, but
I chase enough balls from under the couch every day
so I think we’ll pass.
And I think I’ve said this before, but S&J have the
exact same two hats. Freaky.

We have that wagon too we love it. The kids enjoy it so much. I think it’s a muxt for twins.

Good luck with all of those balls! You are a brave Mommy!
I am the same way with surprises. I don’t think my dh has ever gotten a present on his actual birthday. I always end up giving it to him early. I don’t know how I will be able to wait to give the Wonder Twins Christmas presents! Let me know if you figure out how to wait!
