Boo To You! (And you, and you!)Halloween with Multiples

8 month old fraternal triplets, Matthew, Melanie and Marcus.

This season of haunts and horrors can result in absolute terror for parents who are short on time, money or ideas for the perfect costumes. Choosing a costume for multiples can be a delicate issue; should they coordinate or find their own identity?

"Are they twins?" ARGH!

Friday October 10, 2008
From the message board, "So I'm out & about with the boys all the time. Of course everything takes longer because it seems everyone stops and wants to see them. The question of "Are they twins?" is really starting to get to me. They are only 4 months old, both in the infant carriers, within ounces of each other, what do people think they are!!! My husband says next time I should tell someone that "No, they are three month apart." and see if they even get it that that's not possible. I know the general public is fascinated with multiples because it's not an everyday thing, but come on people. Anyone else have any suggestions?"

Do the endless questions drive you crazy? Or do you relish the attention that having twins brings? Stop by the message forum and add your voice to the discussion. Or leave a comment to share your thoughts.

Photo Galleries Updated!

Thursday October 9, 2008
All Photo Galleries have been updated, so be sure to take a look and explore all the beautiful pictures. There are several photo galleries on this site, so here is a directory to help you find your way. If you submitted a photo in the last six months and don't find it in the photo gallery, it is probably because you didn't follow the submission guidelines. Pictures that are larger than 1 MB in file size or are embedded in the email are automatically deleted, as are submissions that do not contain all required information, including the release statement. Be sure to read the submissions guidelines carefully and follow all the directions to ensure that your photo is included in the gallery.

Take lots of shots of your twins and multiples in their Halloween costumes later this month! I'd love to include them in the Halloween Photo Gallery.
