Twin Girls, Suwan & Anchalee at Mt. Rushmore.

Twin Girls, Suwan & Anchalee posting at Mt. Rushmore

There is not a whole lot happening lately beside usual routine of getting the twins up in the morning and get them ready for morning school.  I thought it would be fun just to go through some of photos of the girls during our cross country trips.  This picture really shows the differences between the twins' height.  Everywhere we go people often think our twin girls are a year apart.  Suwan, my older twin is about 3.5 inches longer than Anchalee, the one minute younger twins.  This morning before we went to school I weight them both.  Suwan weighs 44 lbs and Anchalee weighs 40.5.  So the little twins is catching up to the sister closely now.

Valentine Cards for Friends

Imagine supervising two four years-old kids to make 16 Valentine cards for their classmates.  That's how I spent my weekend with the twins.  I think Suwan and Anchalee had a lot of fun and sometimes got carry away on decorating the cards.  They would draw on top of stickers with black marker and that made me nervous.  I got upset when Anchalee wrote letter to big and wouldn't fit a word on one line.  I wasn't happy when Suwan borrowed Anchalee's weenie dog to put on her card because I was afraid there wouldn't be enough left for Anchalee.  It turned out okay because Anchalee took some of Suwan's stuff too.  I got too emotion trying to get things done the way I wanted and didn't let the girls had all the fun.  I felt somewhat sorry later on.  The girls did well though.  The got to be pretty creative with the letters and drawing.  It turned out pretty cute.  Finally, the work was done.  The twins did all the writing on the card and check off the name lists.  Now the Valentine Cards are ready for their preschool friends.  Whew! I'm sure glad it's over.  Thanks goodness, the girls got more patience than me and they didn't care if the works weren't perfect!

Twin Baby Photobook by Shutterfly.com

We have made a photobook of our cross country road trip for aunt Zona and Sandy.  Last night we got a chance to look at the real book and it looks great!  Shutterfly really does make it look professional. We'll make a lot more in the future.  We're very pleased with the result of our photobook.  It looks better than in the computer! We're happy to share it with you.  Hope you enjoy.

Anchalee read Dr. Seuss's book "Go Dog Go!"

One of our friends gave Suwan and Anchalee a whole set of Dr. Seuss's Books.  We started to read together and we had great fun.  The girls seem to know a lot of words they learn from their four years experience of observation and practice word writing.  I don't expect them to know that much at this age but they sure surprised me a lot of time.  They both love to read books, but by far the Dr. Seuss's ones are the best.

Happy Thanksgiving

The girls were having Thanksgiving Party at school last Tuesday.  All the kids were putting on American Indian headdresses and Pilgrim-hats that they made in class.  Their teacher helped them make hand printed turkey and decorated with feathers. The parents brought in home made ethnic food to share with students and others.  I had a good time watching and playing with the kids.  When it was time to eat, they all lined up to wash their hand.  3 other parents and I were helping the little one dished up their plates.  I made Chinese chicken bun to share but that was quite popular as pizza and mac and cheese.
