So the other day we were walking in a store. A woman passer-by happened to notice the girls matching. She kind of jumped as she laughed and said, “Oh look! They match!”
With as straight as face as possible I said, “Of course they do! They’re twins!”
She paused for a moment, as if her mind was whirling in
confusion and then she burst out laughing.
Obviously realizing that I was just being smart..
Well they at least they think they are twins….
And on a separate note: The girls came downstairs in these same polka-dot dresses to wear to Liberty’s basketball game this morning. Except this is Colorado and it is COLD and it is definitely winter! With these polka-dot dresses, Elizabeth had stripped and flowered tights on and Jubilee had bright red tights on. Oh my. I mentioned that I would go upstairs and look for sweaters to wear with them and figured I would switch them both to white tights.
While I was getting out of the shower, they showed up again, this time Elizabeth had a brown sweat shirt on under this black polka-dot dress and Jubilee had a leopard print shirt on under hers. Niiiiice. Combined with the striped tights on Elizabeth and Jubilee’s bright red tights I truly laughed out loud. I told them that there was no way they were wearing that….or “you guys will look like a freak show.” Elizabeth said, “Mom what’s a freak show?” I said, “It would be like mommy putting on her clothes and then wearing a toilet on her head to the game.” She started to giggle. Yeah, that would be a freak show. She got it.
but that is the way my girl dresses, still! what do people say about me?
They're too sweet!
Precious Girls! The image of the freak show is still making me laugh!!
Those two are as cute as can be together!! I bet they have so much fun! It is s good to see Jubilee in your pics! At home where she belongs!
what sweet girls! they just melt my heart!
So cute! They look so happy together!
So glad Im not the only one to use the word freakshow with my girl.
Such cuties and you never know maybe someday they will be sending things down the cat walk and have people pay millions for those wild combinations!!!
Can they get any cuter/? I was at target today and I was in the little girls section just dreaming and looking at all the adorable little dresses that I cannot wait to buy our little girl once we bring her home from Uganda!
Ohh! That is TOTALLY cute and TOTALLY sweet!!!
Tooooo funny!
Too Cute! You wonder what they are thinking when they come up with the outfits they do! Are they going for comfort or looks (looks as in we look good not freak show attention!)I love seeing the outfits little girls put together and their mother's do let them out of the house. I never let mine out of the house in their wacky outfits but admire those moms who do but not in Colorado in the snow!
Love, Lisa K.

These pictures are too cute! Beautiful dresses for beautiful little girls. 🙂 My mother used to sew clothes for me and my sister and would often dress us alike for special occasions. Now, my sister is six years older than me, so imagine the enthusiasm of a ten year old having to wear the same dress as her four year (sometimes pesky) little sister. Ha! Nonexistent. The funny thing is we now look back on those pictures and think, "aww, how cute." LOL! There's nothing quite like the bond of sisterhood. 🙂
check out my recent post…you received something!
They are delightful!!!
The other day I had to explain what a freak show was too. I think you did a better job explaining.
Give the twins a hug!!!
You crack me up Linny. That is priceless. I'm so visual!!!
It blesses my heart to see those two so close…two little miracles. Hugs
I am a bit of a goofball but I LOOOVE matching outfits!! I got all 4 of my youngest matching jammies and each has their own color but the pattern is the same. they look so doggone cute! and Maia and Sophie have a couple matching outfits. I used to have people ask all the time if Maia and Ethan were twins and I always wanted to say YES!! and then let them figure it out but my husband wouldnt let me. she was 1 and he was 3 but she was big and he small and both little blondes. didnt matter that one was born of my body and one of my heart.
oh i love their hearts and it's so great to see how quickly (or seemingly so) jubilee has adjusted and bonded with her new forever family.
haven't heard much about mark. how is he doing?
Oh, I LOVE this post. What sweet sisters!!!
Blessings,
Sarah
Love it! I would, however, enjoy seeing you with a toilet on your head.
They are some of the cutest twins I have every meet. I love their fashion sense – it is a lot like Anna's:)
At our house we foster and then we sometimes adopt and they stay forever. One day I was standing outside the bathroom at Walmert with a 10 mo old African American girl in her bucket in one cart and a very pale white 4 mo old baby girl in her bucket in another cart. A lady walked up and looked at both girls and as seriously as can be said, "Are they twins?"
Now I normally don't see color, especially when it comes to the babies at my house and I am quite used to whispers as we walk by, but this comment may have been as blind as any could be.
Oh my goodness..They are just too precious!
I bet you just gobble them up…I know I would!!!
Hugs and love,
Amy
Oh my goodness, Linny, that is just tooooo precious for words. Absolutely amazing. Could they be any cuter than that????
Love and hugs
Adeye
Oh my goodness, I am laughing out loud for real! Sooo great. : )
I love these twin "Fashionistas!"
You should have gotten the before pics!! I bet they were precious!!
They are the cutest twinkies ever! How is Jubilee adjusting? She looks so happy in all of your photos.
Linny, sent you an e-mail. Hugs and love.
ooooh I love it!!! I love that Elizabeth understood what you meant without even needing a definition! Great twins those two 😉
Awww! How precious.
HEART WARMING!
Love these "twins!"
Your "twins" make me smile!
Last summer we met the my son's best friend at the zoo. As they saw each other, they ran and wrapped their arms around each other and Micah, the best friend announced "My Twin!".
The lady standing behind us in line did a triple take as the "twins", one blond and blue eyed, the other asian with one arm missing, in their matching shirts and mowhawks, joyfully ran through the gate together.
Twins are awesome!
bwaaahhaaaa!!!! Lovin' the freak show! lol I bet those girls have you in stitches! So beautiful. 🙂 I used to let my kids wear what they wanted (up to a certain age) and people always would stare…. sometimes their shoes didn't even match! 🙂
Hahaha….that is hilarious!!! Soooo adorable!!!
Our "twins" LOVE to match (they are only 3.5 months apart). Just wait till brother comes home…he's right in the middle of them.
They are so cute! My girls put on the strangest things, too. Some days it's just a good thing that we are staying home. Ya know?
