My, my, how time flies. Wednesday 9/9 the twins turned 4. Well, might as well since they are acting like 14 sometimes, ha-ha.
Unfortunately it was not the best day weather-wise but an o.k. day to take care of something. The twins needed sneakers, a birthday gift suggestion from their mother for which we were grateful. Caleb had school in the morning so I met Sarah, Colin and Owen at Saxon shoe store promptly at 10 am when they are opening. It was raining. The time was perfect though at this social distancing time since we were the first (and only for a while). I was in awe how cooperative the two boys were and we were done in no time.
After that Sarah drove to our house too. Of course they needed a toy each since only a "practical gift" just won't do. Sarah knew that Owen wanted a certain watch and Colin a certain play set.
So, here is the VIDEO (0:32)
A quick lunch and then they had to leave so Sarah could pick up Caleb done with school.
But it wasn't long and James and I had to be at their house for the birthday celebration. Luckily the rain had stopped but the yard was way too muddy to have a children's party there. Sarah had a Plan B though.
Her idea: an ice ream truck! She had decorated their truck and made a super poster sign (behind plexi because of the wet). A big cooler for the 7 choices she had was loaded in the back. She and the 3 boys climbed into the back too, Wade drove and James and I were in the front.
Sarah had arranged for 11 houses to expect us. When Wade honked they would come to the end of the driveway ... and just like an ice cream truck Sarah would ask which one the children would like. Everybody had so much fun and thought it was a splendid idea.

A great day!
