Since I'm in between permanent jobs right now and my freelance projects have also lightened up, I decided to spend some all too uncommon one-on-one with James and Kate. We called it our "Special Date." In the morning I took Kate to Build-a-Bear. She, unsurprisingly chose the brightest, pinkest bear. Her favorite part was giving her bear a bath (see picture below). In the afternoon I took James. He chose a white dog. Although there are many, many clothes and accessories (extra $, of course) one can choose to adorn one's bear, both of my kids wanted there's "naked." I tried to talk them into something additional, but they refused. I guess my Special Dates are also cheap dates.
It was a really fun day for me and a great chance for James and Kate to get undivided attention. I imagine that being a twin is a fun thing -- always having a friend around and all, but I think they enjoyed going on a Special Date with Mom as much as Mom enjoyed it.

How fun! I am glad you had a good time with each of the kiddos. We miss you guys.
What a good mom you are! I'm sure they both appreciated having you all to themselves for a little while.
What cute dates you had! That sounds like a fun idea to have some one on one time at build a bear! So funny they both prefer naked animals!
I would love to do a special date with you too! Book me in sometime.
What great memories you are creating with your kids.
They look so happy - I love it. I've never been to Build a Bear, but every child that I see coming out of there has the biggest smile ever.
Cute idea with the one-on-one time. We always enjoyed our one-on-one time with them back in the day too. It still almost takes my breath away when I see pictures of them now-- they're growing up so fast! Glad you're feeling good and all is well with baby #3. Wish we could all be there with you for a special date of our own! Miss you guys terribly.
