Turning Five







The twins have officially turned five years old.  This happened yesterday, but, of course, there was a little confusion because their birthday party will be this Saturday.  (For the life of them, they couldn't figure out why everyone they wanted to come to the party -- including family from Portland -- couldn't drop everything and make it midweek.)

In honor of their becoming "big" kids who will be heading off to kindergarten in less than two months, I'm posting a few random pics from the past couple of weeks.  The water soakers have been a big hit at the nearby park where they open a wading pool three days a week during the summer.  The bowling experience was relatively successful, though I found it much easier to learn the candlepin way.  (I swear we also didn't bumpers when we were kids -- maybe today's parents see gutterballs as too much of a failure for kids to experience.)  Finally, the costumes -- Green Lantern and Flash for those who were wondering -- were a great gift from MeMa.  Now we just need to figure out a way keep them from wearing them every day ...
