I noticed the other day that they still make Lincoln Logs, and I was thinking how fun they would be to give to a kid. Although I think they involve small pieces so Lucy might not quite be old enough yet...but I wonder if they still make the giant "Duplo" version of legos? Some sort of building toy would be fun for years.
My favorite costume when I was little was a bug costume that my mom made me...she cut holes in a pillow case for my arms and legs, dyed it green, and stuffed stuffing in, then tied two strings around so that I had 3 sections to my bug body. She made antennas and attached them to a headband, and I wore green tights and a green long sleeve shirt under the bug body. Warm, easy, and cute! You could make two different color bugs, or a lady bug and a caterpillar, or make one a caterpillar and one a butterfly, there are all sorts of variations. Plus it is science-y! I guess a pillow case might be too big for the twins, but I'm sure you could figure out some sort of variation that would fit them, or you could just have Lucy be the bug this year.

I wrote a whole thing out, but then I didn't enter my name, so it deleted it...here's the shorten version... We have Kendall and Sidney's outfits from last year...little pumpkins. They're more like one pc. outfits and I think they're 0-3 months of you'd like to borrow them. I can send a picture if you want.
Let me know!

what about 1 and 2 from cat in the hat? we had twins at the farm this weekend who were 1 and 2...probably about 2 years old max. and it was deifnitely homemade. but very cute! it might be a little early to die their hair blue though, huh? didn't think of that:)

You could be an FLDS family (all 4 of you could be sister-wives!)

Oh Marge.... I knew who it was as soon as I read the comment. You're too easy. When they all get bigger I saw a great costume for the family- a BLT! parents are each a side of the bun/bread and the kids are bacon, lettuce and tomato. Too bad we make BLATs in our house - with avocado on it too. I wonder if Kevin Bacon is ever a "me"LT? HA HA Funny
