Shawn, Bev, and Family

Welcome to the twinhouse! Shawn and I were married in 1997 and have been blessed (yes, blessed!) with 2 sets of twins. Alexander and Benjamin were born in 2002 and Hannah and Jacob joined the family in 2004. We created this blog to keep friends and family updated on the excitement in the twinhouse.

TWINKLE TWINKLE TRAFFIC LIGHTS

We made a little treat this afternoon as it has been raining on and off all week. The children helped me make some brownies and icing and then we decorated them like traffic lights! It was great fun.
So we took a photo and sang our little song which the boys learned at school. Here it is:
(to the tune of twinkle, twinkle, little star)
Twinkle Twinkle traffic light, down by the station shining bright.
Red means stop, green means slow, amber means, very slow.

Here is the finished product close-up:

And here are the happy kids before getting to eat them....can you imagine how they looked after they got to eat this chocolately treat??!!
I also have to add a few miscellaneous photos from the last few days.
Here is Jacob who has been wearing himself out playing with Grammy. This was at playgroup on Wednesday....I have never seen him fall asleep on the way to playgroup at 10am! Don't you just love the folded hands? So glad I keep my camera in my backpack!
These are some of the things which Grammy brought us from Canada. The hockey sticks were a great gift as, if you recall, we used to play with toy brooms, mops, and little plastic golf clubs! And the little cyclist outfits are just too cute on these little bodies!!
The action shot!
Here is the only pic so far that I have been able to take of Grammy. We are all very happy to have her here!


And here are Hannah and Jacob showing off some visors that the boys made in Sunday School.

Hi
Wow, hockey sticks and brownies that look like traffic lights....very cool! I have a hockey stick but I can't play very well yet. Gotta keep practicing I guess.
We have had nothing but rain for days and days here too.
Take care,
Austin
