Twinkle: (n) a scintillating brightness in the eyes; sparkle.

Now, before I even start this post, I will acknowledge my utter and complete bias in regard to the following three images. But, I have to say these 3 boys are some of the cutest, funniest, and most mischievous children I know. And I do know them. Very, very well.

Oh-- note to friends and family: if you bring your children here to play, be forewarned: I will most likely hijack them for a very quick photo shoot. I know, I know. I just can't help myself. And with the gleam in B's eyes, do you blame me??

"My" boys:
