Adam's birthday is only 15 days before Julianna's. His is in just over a month, so I've been thinking about party plans for both of them. He picked out Pokemon for his theme and I picked out a cute, girly 1st birthday butterfly theme for Jules. Yesterday I was looking at the calendar trying to decide on dates for the parties. If I do it right, I can have the parties 3 weeks apart. Since mostly the same people will be coming to both parties, I want to make it as painless as possible. But today, I considered something that I wanted to avoid since we found out when Julianna would be born. I considered, for just a minute, having a combined party. The truth is, Adam would probably be fine with it. He adores his sister and would be happy as long as there was cake and presents. And of course, Jules wouldn't know the difference anyway. But I would know. So after that brief thought, I decided that they each need their own parties. Their own special days. So we will have two parties. One in mid-May and one the beginning of June. Two cakes. Two Saturdays. Two songs. Two sweet, cute kids.
But if you get an invitation, you will get both in the same envelope. I won't be using two stamps.

Good for you! I'm always amazed at the mothers who have to keep twins' birthdays separate or keep a kid's Christmas birthday from blending into the holiday. It would be hard not to want to combine for convenience sake!
I am going to act like I never read this post. It will be the post of which we do not speak.
Ada, I know. I know. That's why I thought it and then banished it forever.
