We're Twins!

I had another post planned for today, but these pictures are too good not to share immediately. Plus I have recieved inquiries about when Zippy will make her first appearance on the blog, and here she is, in all her glory.

So the kids are still going strong selecting their own clothes and getting themselves dressed. Reese found a Cars themed shirt in his bin (it has one of the cars from the original movie on it but since I have never seen the movie, I am not sure). He was super excited about it. Then he realized that Brisbane was also wearing a shirt with a truck on it and he became ECSTATIC!

So this is how these pictures came to be...

Reese: "Jessenia, Brisbane and I both have trucks on our shirts and you don't!"

Mom: "Reese, be nice."

Reese: "Ok. Jessenia, Brisbane and I both have trucks on our shirts!" [jumping up and down]

Mom: "Should we take a picture?"
Reese: "YEAH!"

[Mom goes to get camera]

[Reese goes to get Brisbane]

[Zippy makes brief appearance to sniff children]

Reese: "Look Mom, he is sitting on my lap."

Mom: "Be gentle Reese." "Smile!"

The above picture SLAYS me. It looks as if Reese has the most evil maniacal face while he is intentionally trying to strangle his little brother. But that is just the face he makes when we tell him to smile for the camera (Ugh!) and that is just him loving his little brother.

Mom: "Reese, I don't think he likes it, let's try one standing up."

Mom: "No, really Reese. Let go, he doesn't like it."

[After several failed attempts at getting Brisbane to stand, Reese agrees that he can sit so we can get the full effect of the truck shirts.]

Mom: "Smile Reese!"

[Zippy makes another appearance to lick the leftover breakfast from hands.]

Mom: "Go Away Zippy!"

And then we got a semi-decent shot. It could do with being cropped so that we don't see Zip walking out of the frame. But there are my two handsome boys in their truck shirts. And those are the kinds of things that we get excited about around here!
