How do you tell them apart?!

I hear it a lot, "How do you tell them apart" WELL the truth is, sometimes I don't!

TELLING THEM APART ---
During the first part of my pregnancy I had it ALL figured out, they were surely going to be girls (coming from a family FULL of girls, they had to be right?) WRONG! My idea of cutting one girl's hair short and keeping the other's long went out the window! Crap, now what am I going to do? Well, the nail polish sounds like a fantastic idea, except how many babies do you know like to come home from the hospital and just chill with their toes hanging out all the time? Dream on Kim, those babies were swaddled all day long... nail polish idea, TOTAL FAIL! So, against my hopes --- they were stuck with the "Baby A" and "Baby B" adorably unfashionable hospital bracelets.

Keep in mind I have identical boys, and a lot of times even I have to look twice.

In case you're wondering ---- Yes, I'm "that mom"... that mom that dresses her boys alike. The way I see it, god gave me twins so I COULD dress them the same, so by golly until they tell me they don't want to dress the same--- they'll be the same! So the clothing wasn't changing. Boys don't typically sport the bracelet thing, and I can't get them to leave socks on for anything! (I thought about getting initials put on socks, but both have LT as initials-- that was smart of us) So after much discussion with others, I finally had a genius idea!  After many shopping adventures I discovered a pair of shoes that were the same style, with different colored bottoms! FANTASTIC! one glance, you know who's who! So, here's my trick!

Logan has a "g" in his name so he will always be in either Green or OranGe...

Landon is most the time in blue!

Dilemma solved!
Mom - 1
Tricky Twins - 0
