The "fun" of being equal but different

Kendyll had her first playdate today.  One of her BFFs from school invited her over to play for a couple of hours this morning.  Fun and simple enough, right?  But when you are part of a duo and are used to getting everything the other one gets, well, NOT being invited to a playdate when your sister is turns out to be one big ball of "fun".

This isn't the first time we've run into this.  And I'm sure it will continue to occur over & over &  over & over again.  But ugh . . . teaching that we-don't-always-get (or do)-the-same-things is "fun".  

In other news, we have a MAJOR obsession with The Lorax going on around here these days.  We took B&K to see the new movie a few weeks ago, but we also have this copy of the older version.  We had never read the book before the movie came out, but Bennett especially is beyond hooked.  He knows the movie off by heart.  He plays "truffula trees" all day long and you can hear him explaining "But I am the Lorax!!  I *still* speak for the trees!!".  Too funny.  When he "reads" the book, he even hums the music from the older version of the movie. 

And because I can't have an update without a picture . . . a few weeks ago we saw a picture of adorable lamb cupcakes.  Of course B&K wanted to make them, so we put Nana Debbie on it.  They turned out so adorable and SUPER yummy (though I hear they were VERY time consuming and labor intensive!).
