Plastics

I have been thinking about plastic lately. I had heard that plastic numbers 3, 6, and 7 are bad for food products. I had read a lot about it on the 4 real message board. I still did not do anything about it. Then it comes out that Canada is going to deem some plastic (that with BPA) as toxic.

At that point I figured God really was leading me to check into all of that plastic that my girls eat off of. If you have even eaten at my domicile, you know that the wondertwins are VERY particular about eating off of certain dishes. I was really worried about having to explain why the Dora and Strawberry Shortcake plates and bowls and cups were going to disappear.

I did look at our dishes. Jeremy and I have decided that we will allow milamine dishes. They are plastic but have not been shown to leach chemicals into the food. So we removed ALL except 1 plate, Franklin the turtle. We did manage to find Dora, Diego, and Pirate milamine dishes at Pamida. So the 3 little ones are all set. They each have 1 plate and 1 bowl. I bought glasses for us all to use.

Diva was very sad to realize that the Hannah Montana and High School Musical dishes were ALL unsafe. If anyone out there in blog land knows where to obtain glass or milamine HM or HSM dishes PLEASE leave a comment!

Mothering on Modays (of Friday)

Ok, so it is not Monday. But with 2 year old twins, something planned for Monday often gets done Friday nite.

Despite an early wake up call, compliments of the earthquake, today was wonderful in our crazy household. Today was "Dad's" birthday. All of the girls worked together this morning to make him feel special. They sang happy birthday at least 5 times, snuggled him awake, assisted in making cupcakes, and were on their best behavior. I just love watching the girls all interact with their Daddy.




Another thing that I love about being a Mom - realizing that even though the girls look like their daddy, Diva and Curly have many of my traits. I just wish they had inherited my good traits! I am reading Raising Your Spirited Child and as I discovered the girls traits in it, I realized that I had more of the spirited traits than they do. At least I can relate!

Twin Picture

I friend sent this picture of the Wondertwins to me. A is the one with the white ribbon on her dress. Great Grandma always sews a ribbon on A's outfit if she buys identical clothes for the twins.

Since I never get tagged, I figure these type of things are my Blog fun.

I have no idea!

I have no clue how these 2 pictured turned out this way. But it looks pretty neat. If you have any idea what my camera was set to, please let me know.

Also, do you see the cool Baby Legs on the arms and legs of the wondertwins? They are very handy to have around, even Diva wears them on her arms or legs when she is chilly.
