The day after we found out we were having twins, Austin Googled “How many diapers do twins use in a month? If you estimate 10-12 diapers per day per baby – that makes 24 diapers a day – 168 diapers a week – 720 diapers a month. We loved this twin Pack ‘n Play and the girls could fit in the bassinets until they were 8 months. Around 3 months, I started using it with the girls laying down with their heads supported by their car seat head support Around 6 months, I adjusted them to a seated position.

My parents always made Christmas such a special time for my brothers and me, so I knew I wanted to do the same for the girls. Growing up we always had an artificial Christmas tree, but when Austin and I got married, I insisted on a live Christmas tree. After the girls went to bed that night, we put on Christmas music and started decorating so the girls could be in for a Christmas surprise in the morning. I had to be in Dallas for work the first week of December and Austin had exams, so my parents met me to help with the girls.

Browsing through Pinterest before the girls were born, I always came across the cutest twin costumes. However, when it came time to actually choose their first Halloween costume, I was stuck. In preparation for Halloween and still working through the costume dilemma, we took these adorable “Pinterest Inspired” pumpkin pictures. To be honest, the real reason I chose this costume is because it was on sale from Toys ‘R Us and looked cute online.

Visiting the pumpkin patch and picking out at least one crazy pumpkin. We both love our Patagonia hats and when he found these little North Face ones, he could not help but get them for the girls. Now I admit they are more than we would normally spend on a baby hat, but they are so cute and the girls love wearing their hats backwards like Daddy, so it was money well spent. I think I may have to add wearing overalls and trucker hats to the pumpkin patch as a new fall tradition (for as long as the girls still let me dress them).
