halloween parade and, drumroll please…

I still have a ton of pics/videos to upload from Emilia’s ballet open house last week, but first, today was the Halloween Parade/Fall Festival at her school.  It’s a great event.  The kids get to parade around the parking lot in their costumes then go to the playground where they get goodies and pumpkins and have a chance to run around like wild.  This year Emilia insisted that she wanted to be Strawberry Shortcake.  Her only frame of reference for the character are the couple of Strawberry Shortcake books she has as well as the Bug’s original Strawberry Shortcake doll from 30 years ago.  Apparently, she’s making a comeback.  Who knew.  Turns out, Emilia and her schoolmate Betsy have ‘shared’ a mutual love of S.S. and decided to dress up together.

dueling Strawberry Shortcakes.

Today we had our 36 week appointment.  The boys are just fine and growing by leaps and bounds.  The drumroll is that we finally have a ‘date.’  Dr. Taylor has scheduled an induction for the 11th, which would make them only 2 weeks early – pretty awesome for twins. 

Yikes… that means d-day is only two weeks away!!!  The end is in sight and a cocktail is finally near! :)

Love the parade. Super cute idea.
So exciting that we know we get to meet the boys in two weeks (or sooner)! You should be so proud about how well you have "cooked" them. Amazing for twins. Great job Ms. 'nise! Can't wait to cheer them over a nice tall glass of vino.
