So, I'm totally going to start doing monthly posts for the kids monthly birthday. My sister in law does it, and it's a great idea! I should have started it a lot sooner, but better now then never right? I'm going to try and do a mini photo shoot of the kids every month!
Happy 3.5 year old birthday Kera!
Unlike her brother, Kera poses for pictures! She is so girly lately! She loves having her hair curled, braided, or put in a pony tail. She loves bows, I should probably make her some more! She LOVES make up, lip gloss, and nail polish. She wants to look in the shoe section almost every time we go to Target or Walmart, and she asks to try them on. I think she will have a shoe fetish when she grows up. I'm not sure where she got that from since I only own a couple pair of shoes. I've had the same tennis shoes since high school 8 years ago!
Kera still sucks her middle two fingers when she is tired, or sleeping. She always wants to sleep with a doll, it usually changes once per month on what her favorite doll is. The doll that she chooses to sleep with also has to go everywhere with us!
The girl loves to dance! She loves all kinds of music, and she'll dance to almost every type of music! She loves her ballet class, I'm so happy we decided to put her in that!!
Kera loves Sponge Bob, and computer games. She dislikes going potty on the potty chair! She doesn't like when I give her an evil stare when she does something wrong, she knows she is about to get a time out - she straightens up real quick! She really loves/needs naps! She is so cranky otherwise.
She comes to our bed at night, and she must be by me. It's sweet, but the habit needs to be broken. Both of them are scared of the dark now, and it has been several months now that their closet doors have been opened and lights are on. Kera is now in a phase where at night her toys scare her. I remember when I was young, I used to think my barbies would come and hurt me! I don't think I was that young, and I don't know where she gets some of this stuff from. She doesn't watch scary movies/shows. So I don't know.
She loves making pizza - and eating it too. She loves vegetable pasta, mac and cheese, but also loves her chocolate/candy.
Right now she is a mommy's girl mostly, but of course she still loves her daddy and screams and hollers "Hooray" when daddy gets home from work!
The next 6 months will pass so quickly, and she will be 4!!
Happy 3.5 year old birthday Drake! 
Drake is seriously not a picture boy! He could care less about the camera, but he took a few for me... because I bribed him with Halloween chocolate! Drake is all about cars, trucks, emergency vehicles, air planes, helicopters, cranes, motorcycles... basically anything that moves. When I drop Kera off at dance on Wednesdays Drake and I usually go to Walmart, and we'll stop by the toy section. Last Wednesday, we stayed there in that section for 45 minutes! He didn't move around a lot. Basically he just wanted to play with some tractors!
Drake is all boy. He very much likes to cause trouble, or push peoples buttons. He likes to test all three of us, to see how far he can push us. Boys are VERY different from girls, or at least mine is. That is a good thing though, I have both worlds.
For about 6 or so months now, Drake has been coming to bed with us at night. We would really like to put a stop to that, because he's a CRAZY sleeper! He will literally take up half of our king sized bed by laying side ways. Or he will lay on top of Dane's back and sleep there. We really need to break the habit. I'm not sure when it all changed, or why it changed. They both were so good about sleeping in their own beds! Soon it will have to change :) and when I say soon, I mean like in a couple of weeks when the spookiness of Halloween is hopefully gone out of their minds.
Drake's favorite movie is still Toy Story. He LOVES computer games on sprout. He does not like blueberry waffles, or gumbo! He really likes vegetable pasta, but I'm sure if he had the choice between vegetable pasta or chocolate/candy, he would choose candy hands down. He is like his mommy, a mouth full of sweet teeth!
Drake does an excellent job using the potty! I hope to have them potty trained by 4! PLEASE GOD, let them be potty trained by time they are 4!!!!
Drake loves his Me-maw and PePaw, he loves to help mommy or daddy cook, wash dishes, put dishes away, or fold towels. He's very helpful when he wants to be. He is definitely a daddy's boy all of the way. He will ask numerous times when daddy will be home. He wants daddy to put him to bed every night. He loves his daddy!! He gets sooo excited when he hears Dane's car come up in the drive way. "Daddy home, yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy". I just can't believe my baby is going to be 4 years old in 6 months!
Sibling Love
Drake and Kera usually get along well. I guess it is with every sibling that they have their moments where they just want to be left alone, or have a break from the other one. Drake really likes to push Kera's buttons, or steal her candy, or just push her for no reason. Yeah... he's the bully. Just when I reach the point where I want to pull out my hair and bang my head into the wall, they do something so sweet, like hug each other, or kiss, or hold hands. Those moments make me realize that I am soooo beyond blessed to have twins. They are so lucky to have each other, even if they get on each others nerves sometimes. I know they love each other, and I hope that love grows with them through adulthood. I hope they always have each others backs. Thank goodness they aren't even 4 yet! I have a while to think about all of that, but I know it will all zoom by in a flash.
