Since Burke and Maggie turn *5* on Saturday (I can’t believe it!), I thought I’d take this chance to post a few pictures from their 1st birthday.
Maggie: Where's the Cake?
Burke: Sugar High!

Names
For a long time, if you’d ask Logan what his name was, he’d point to himself and say “ME!!” And while, technically…that’s not wrong…it totally made my day when he figured out that his name is, in fact, Logan. (Which, when I stop to think about it, he always knew…because he’d turn and say “what?” when you’d call his name. Curious.)
(17 seconds)
The thing saying his name to him is his Leapfrog Tag Jr…and I’m not sure why he’s got his finger in his mouth the whole time…
(And a picture to match the video)
"Hi there, Logan!"
Tails
Maggie requested piggie tails today!! She normally doesn’t want me to do anything with her hair (not that I’m any good at it…), or we just run out of time for anything more than a headband after it’s been brushed. But today – when we actually had time – she asked for pig tails 🙂
Piggie Tails
Logan’s name and Maggie’s request totally Make My Monday!

Well. Today’s theme is supposed to be Good Hair Gone Bad…but since I can’t seem to get my act together to find the pictures that came to mind, I’ll twist this one around slightly 😉
I realized that I hadn’t posted any pictures of the kids sleeping in their new beds! And uhm…bed head is bad hair, right? *grin*

I was going to post a review of my Kindle today, but Nanny Jessica is out sick and I’m not feeling 100% myself, so I’ll just wow you with Burke’s artwork from this week’s painting class. 🙂

I was cleaning up a bit and ran across these. They are the official hospital photo package pictures. They were taken before the twins left the hospital … which puts the kids about 2 weeks old or so.

…a Picasso or a Garfunkel…
Or perhaps some more of Burke’s 🙂
These are from Burke’s Art class:
Ladybug with no Spots
Skate
Horse
The fact that their teacher doesn’t limit them and introduces them to still life and everything else under the sun Makes My Monday 🙂

Maggie (or Mike?) had this great idea to spin one of their new tops … and then “catch it” in Maggie’s hair. Luckily, this didn’t end up in any disastrous top-stuck-in-hair scenarios and they had a lot of fun with it. 🙂
"I caught it!"
You can see the fun in action (still lovin’ my Flip!).

These pictures were taken on January 5, 2007. Burke and Maggie were just shy of turning 2.
Burke the Builder
Maggie the Musician
As you can see, they both took their play time quite seriously!

I was going to write a whole long post to catch up with all of the things we’ve done over the past few weeks (Christmas, Disney on Ice, fun in Vermont, book review, etc.), but with my busy work schedule right now, all I have time for lately are snippets and picture posts…so I leave you this year with a picture of Maggie in the dress her cousin Jaine wore in our wedding. (you can see a picture of Jaine in it in the Wedding Story!) Jaine’s mom, Kahki, sent it to Maggie…so thoughtful!! (Maggie absolutely loves it – go figure 😉 )

BUT … they needed it more 🙂 (Poor kiddos – almost 5 and still in their cribs-turned-toddler-beds…)
For Christmas, we got Burke and Maggie an entire new bedroom suite. Including BUNK BEDS!! The whole set was delivered today. To say they are excited about this is an understatement. (I can hear all 3 kids playing in there with Nanny Jessica right now, actually!)
All 3 Kids on the Top Bunk
Going Up the Steps!
(This bunk bed has stairs instead of a ladder. Each step is a drawer as well!)
The Entire Suite
We got them: a tall dresser (Burke’s), a wide dresser with mirror (Maggie’s), the bunk bed with stairs, and a desk with hutch and a chair. (The desk needs to be pushed over a little in this picture…)
Merry Christmas Burke and Maggie!!
