The twins turned 9 this summer. I am amazed at the little gentlemen they are becoming. They had a very grown up family birthday this year (friend party every other year). Birthdays at our house start with a special birthday breakfast (they chose French Toast drizzled with maple syrup and fruit) and a special reading of our traditional birthday book Hooray For You!
The Story of Carl:
We spent a few fun hours exploring at the Arizona Science Center and Planetarium.

On the way out to the parking lot, we were approached by a nice man named Carl who was out of work and living on the street. We didn't have any small bills to give him, but the twins insisted that after we paid for our parking, we would give Carl the $5 in change and they would pay us back from their own money. On the drive home, the twins said they prayed that Carl would find work soon and that giving the money to Carl was the best part of their birthday.
(grateful for those tender experiences that just can't be planned)
We finished the evening with yummy Mexican food and fried Ice Cream!
