Italia

Whenever I am out and about with the boys, I frequently am asked if they are twins.  They look about the same age, they both have blond hair, and they are carted about in a double stroller, so it's understandable.  I always explain that they're not, that Baby D is just our friend, and we move on.  I don't normally encourage this twin perception.  But today I couldn't help it.  Because today Baby D showed up wearing a shirt that's almost exactly the same as one of Baby B's shirts.  But these aren't just twin shirts in different colors from Target.  These are soccer jerseys from Italy!  Baby B received his from Hubby T's parents after their vacation to Italy last May.  Baby D received his from a friend of his mom's who also went to Italy this summer.  What are the chances that these little friends would end up with almost matching shirts from a totally different continent?!  I decided this picture opportunity was too good to pass up...until I spent several giggly, squirmy minutes trying to get them to hold still.  If a picture is worth a thousand words, I think these pictures are worth just 5 words - little boys don't sit still!!

 You think you're going to get a perfectly posed picture from us?  

Well, just try and catch us...

 Ready, set, let's wiggle at the same time and really mess Mama P up!!

 Ha ha, even by kneeling over us you still can't make us hold still!!

Okay, you got one lucky shot, but this is as close as you're going to get!

I give up.  Hopefully all these pictures put together gives you an idea of what these shirts look like.  Long live Italia, and these silly-squirmy-so cute-almost matching shirted non-twins:)
