Below are actual conversations I had with Noah this weekend.

Me: Noah, did you take Brat Pills today?
Noah: No Mommy, you didn't buy me any

**For the record, Noah had a rough weekend with regard to whinning and his overall behavior. The pièce de résistance was Sunday afternoon at Michael's when he laid on the floor of the frame department and started moaning that he wanted candy.

Later that evening, in the car

Noah: Mommy, I am tryyyyyying to have good behavior.
Me: Well sweetheart, than what is stopping you? (thoughtful pause)
Noah: My life.
Me: Hysterical laughter, followed by a sudden urge to Tweet.

A letter to our friend Dr. Carter

Dear Dr. Carter (Mommy said we can’t call you Andy):

We wanted to come by and see you on our birthday but we heard you were on vacation. We have never been on a vacation, but Mommy and Daddy said that it may be a while before we get to go on one. We think it has something to do with the fact that the last time Mommy and Daddy went on a vacation they came back with us as a souvenir. Go figure.

So far life is pretty good. Although we may fight sometimes, we really do love each other a lot. We love going places and now that we are *almost* walking life is starting to get a lot more interesting. Did you know that in the bathroom there is this big thing with water in it? When we don’t think Mommy is looking we like to go in there but she always manages to find us before we can play in the water. It’s like she has eyes in the back of her head!

We love going swimming in the pool and we love it when people play with us, especially our big brother Noah. We also like going to Costco because they have carts big enough for both of us to sit in them at them same time. And they give out free food! We went there with our Papa and he got us SIX samples of Mango Mousse. Every time we giggled he went back and got us more. The power of twins. Who knew?

We also like Costco because people know us there. Everyone stops to makes funny faces at us and they ask Mommy the silliest questions. Are we twins (Duh)? Are we identical (No. And we can prove it thanks to the pictures you graciously took)? Are we natural (Do people think we came from a box)? And they also like telling Mommy that “she must have her hands full.” She said that the next time someone says this she is going to ask if they are offering to come over and babysit. We don’t think we are a handful. We are simply little girls that know what we want. . and we go for it.

Anyway, we’re sorry that we missed you on Friday. We just wanted to say hi and thank you in person for helping bring us into the world (nice catch by the way!)

Warmest Regards,

Hannah & Abbie. . . a.k.a. The Foxettes

P.S. Isn’t it amazing how we learned to blog before we learned to read?!
