Brandon and Evan were Tagged

There is a blogging "forward" going around, asking you to share some information about yourself and then share it with the rest of the world before "tagging" five other people to do the same. We were tagged by Elizabeth, and so we thought we would play along with the game. However, being that this is Brandon and Evan's blog, and their only friends with blogs were already tagged, I think we are going to end the "tagging" here. :)

Here are Brandon and Evan's answers to this "forward," with some help from Mom. :)

10 years ago...

Okay, this one doesn't work because we weren't born. How about 2 years ago...
We were 6.5 weeks old. Mom and Dad were incredibly sleep deprived because we didn't like to sleep anywhere that wasn't our swings, our bouncy seats, or their chests. (Good thing Mom made us shape up soon after!) If it was a Wednesday, Papa Wayne probably came over to play with us to give Mom some sanity. Mom tells us that she looks back on that time now and wonders how it could have been crazy when all we did was eat and sleep and we couldn't move around!

5 things on our to do list today...
1. Get over our nasty ear infections
2. Play basketball
3. Build a block tower
4. Watch "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse"
5. Take a nice, long nap :)

Snacks that we enjoy...
Teddy Grahams/graham sticks, dried cranberries, bananas, grapes, apples with peanut butter

What would I do if I were suddenly a billionaire...
We have recently been really excited to go see baseball and football games, so hopefully Mom and Dad would take care of that. Also, you know, we would pay for college and our grad school MBA/JD/MD degrees. :)

3 of my bad habits...
We don't have any - we are perfect!

5 places I have lived...
We only have three, but there will be a new addition to the list, soon!
1. Orland Park, IL (birth-7 mo.)
2. Ann Arbor, MI (7 mo.-16 mo. and 20 mo.-now)
3. Chicago, IL (16 mo.-20 mo.)

3 jobs that we have had...
Well, child labor laws say we can't work, but that hasn't stopped Mom! :)
1. Cleaning service - We love to clean! We got our own vacuums and "cleaning sprays" for Christmas, and we have been keeping busy ever since.
2. Laundry folders - Okay, so, we tend to get distracted at this job. We start out handing Mom clothes to fold, and we end up throwing all of the clothes in the air like confetti and rolling around in them.
3. Artists - Everyone always seems to love our artwork, and it is hanging in some VERY prestigious places! :)

5 things people don't know about us...
1. People always wonder if we are fraternal or identical. We are actually fraternal twins, in spite of the fact that we look a lot alike and develop right along the same patterns. (Our teeth have been especially uncanny, for the most part coming in in the same order and within just a few days of each other.)
2. We have "outie" belly buttons, and the word "outie" makes us holler with laughter. We love to show off our "outies," so just let us know if you need an "outie"-fix. :)
3. The second toe on Brandon's right foot doesn't fit. When he is walking it does fine, but when he isn't putting pressure on his foot, it actually rests partially on top of his big toe and middle toe. Apparently this is a genetic issue because Auntie Andi has the same thing.
4. Evan has a notch on his ear, that is also genetic. Both Papa Wayne and Great-Grandpa Ingmire have the same thing. That notch is the "last resort" clue to help people figure out who is Evan and who is Brandon.
5. We LOVE ice cream! Again, this is probably a genetic thing being that we come from a long line of ice cream lovers on both sides of the family. Our recent favorite place for ice cream has been Max and Erma's because we get to pick out whatever toppings we want from the sundae bar! :)
