The Twins are 2 Years Old!

We bought the boys a train table with all the tracks, trains and accessories but of course it had to be assembled. I was too tired to do it the night before so I gave it to them in the morning in the box which they had no idea what it was. They "helped" me assemble it which meant Tommy was stealing all my tools and Evan was climbing all over everything. And naturally during all the chaos I didn't realize the directions were upside down and I put the legs on incorrectly which threw everything else off. Once I realized my error I ripped it apart and re-assembled. Much better! I fed the twins their lunch and put them down for their naps and then finished assembling and placing all the tracks etc. Oh the look on their faces when they got up - especially Tommy, my Thomas the train fanatic! We again this year had our celebration at home on the actual day of their birthday and then a big party with both sides of the family on Saturday night with two cakes - Thomas and Elmo - their favourites that I made. Next time I think I'll leave cake decorating to the professionals!
