The (almost) Twins turn 6

Lewis and Elizabeth had their birthdays on Tuesday and Wednesday. Always an exciting time unless you're on house arrest, like Eliz. It took all my restraint to proceed with a celebration because the girl has been "off the chain," with tantrums, hitting Ana, lying & giving away her lunch money to kids on the bus whom she deemed as "doing a good job." Control freak through and through.
Lewis is the big brother by one day! He was such a whirling dervish, his image could not be captured!

Once the lights went down and the birthday dirge began, he was beaming with anticipation.

Elly was excited to have a temporary reprieve from lockdown. She had the manners of Eddie Haskell, buttering up Mrs. Cleaver. "You look beautiful today, Mama!" She was back to screaming at me this morning.
