TwiceToddlers and The Heat Today

Oh goodness, it was so hot today. It reached 103 in my city. Mommy thought it was hotter than the twins. In fact, they did not fuss about it at all even though Mommy put them in yellow tank tops and a skirt today.

Was it 103 in your city today? If so, I bet you had your A/C on too. My A/C went on automatically once it reached 82 degrees. Not only was it HOT today, the sun was so bright in our eyes. This heat felt like it was weighing down on my face and body. Wearing sunglasses did not seem to help at all.

My twins worn sunglasses to, oh they look so cute with sunglasses. When my twins came home from school, the heat seemed to get hotter it got me thinking, nobody could survive in the heat unless they had A/C or water to cool them down.

Now, I have been in warmer weather in my city, but for some reason, this heat today went over and beyond the heat I was used to. Especially since the month of August is almost over and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, this heat creeps up on us. OUCH!

When the heat is this bad, my twins and their class stay indoors at school and at home. There is NO way, children, adults and the elder, should be outside in such heat.

The Chain of Friends Grand Prize is Here

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hampton Hotels. All opinions are 100% mine.

Right now, there is a Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes going on. In fact, there will be one grand prize winner. This grand prize winner will receive a free stay for themselves and 100 of their friends. That is so awesome. Everyone needs a weekend getaway, especially when it is on Hampton Hotels, right! The best thing about this weekend getaway with your friends is, the winner will also receive $5000 to help pay the tax for the weekend!

Now, if I were the winner, I would choose a Hampton Hotel either by one of my favorite beaches or in the Wine Country. Any of these places would be an excellent getaway from the suburbs or the everyday. My goodness, if I won this getaway, I would invite all the friends I currently have and some friends from my high school days. If my friends did not reach 100, I would invite all my family members too. Going away for the weekend would certainly put a smile on their faces.

Once we all arrived at the beach of my choice or area of the wine country, we would dine a restaurant for all 100 of us. If we go to the beach, we could all sit on the beach and eat S'mores and walk up and down the beach. That sounds like fun to me. If we go to the wine country, we could drive up and down Wine Country Row, if this even exists, tasting wines in the region and purchasing our favorite wines.

Now, when you sign up for this Hampton sweepstakes, you do not have to be a Hilton Honors member either. Even if you have never stayed at a Hampton Hotel, you can still sign up for this sweepstakes. So, what are you waiting for, sign up right now.

TwiceToddlers Camping Out in Our Living Room

Yesterday, my twins twins took out their sleeping bags and one of their Princess Tents. Along with the Princess Tent and sleeping bags, they found their flashlights and some other toys to play with.

With all their "equipment", they moved it to our Living Room. My twins are so precious. They want to go camping so bad. I told Daddy I would have to purchase a BIG tent for us to camp out in our backyard, under our BIG tree and the BIG stars.

I told my twins we can also use our outdoor fireplace and make some S'mores. They love marshmallows. They, we can sign campfire songs or any songs they know and like.

Right now, my Living Room looks like a total mess with sleeping bags, a tent and stuff toys everywhere. My twins imagination is running wild and they are having so much fun.

What is a Mommy to do???

TwiceToddlers and Their Reading List

On my twins second day of Kindergarten, they brought home a red piece of paper with apples on them. Inside these apples were 6 lines each. These apples and the lines represent the number of books that will be read to them each month.

Starting this month, I have read 6, going on 7, books to them each day or night. Reading books to them is always part of their homework. I really love reading books to them. When my twins were younger than they are now, I used to read all the time to them.

When my twins got older, reading to them slowed down a bit. Now that they are in kindergarten together, their reading schedule has picked up again. My twins LOVE it. It is a shame me reading to them slowed down, but now, they each bring home a book from their classroom's library.

Some of the books they choose are long winded and others short and easy to read. When reading to my twins, they put their head on my shoulder and say, "I love you Mommy." In return, I say, "I love you too "E" or "A"".
