There has been so much commotion in my mind with Kaelyn turning 13 and all the changes that seem to come within a few months of that. To be quite honest I am still adjusting to the idea of having a teenager. I know I will never adjust with having a teenager because there is no normal. But I have been thinking about Aspen and Haven the last few days. They are going to be 11 next month and yes, they are starting to act like pre-teens. Not as bad as teen but getting to that point. I asked them if they wanted to have 2 separate parties this year. I have been putting it off thinking of the work involved...twice but I decided to bite the bullet this year. I told them they could each have several girls over on 2 different weekends and have sleep overs. Well, they decided that one party would be better because then they could do something more fun then a sleep over. Here I have been putting off asking them each year never dreaming they would turn it down. Aspen wants to go roller skating and Haven can't decide. I told them they need to decide cause dad will miss the party and I want to okay everything with him before his trip (we may not have a decent way to communicate while he is away). Part of the sleep over party problem is that they don't both have separate good friends. This school year it is Aspen with all the friends and last year it was Haven. It all depends on who is in their class that year. Last year Haven had the class with all their friends and this year it is Aspen. Haven has one really good friend in her class (which we are all grateful for) but that's about it.
Having twins has more obstacles then you could ever imagine. Most of them are not major but they are still details we have to work through. Every stage is certainly different and the obstacles are not physical like they used to be but they are still there and to be honest I liked that physical work better then all this emotional/mental stuff!
I just don't know how they got SO old. I am going to try to stick in a few baby pictures I have of them on my computer. Enjoy my precious babies.
