First, the story. We went to my mom's house for supper one night, and the adults were all sitting around the supper table. (The kids had already finished eating). Suddenly, we noticed the silence coming from the other room where the kids were supposed to be playing. Anyone who has kids knows silence is always the first clue something isn't quite right! I walk into the kitchen where the kids were, and there is Peter, blue marker in hand, scribbling on Mom and Dad's white wainscoting. Steve and I of course are fretting about getting this marker off the wall and scrubbing the wall (thankfully, the marker was washable), and in the meantime, no one is paying any mind to Joy. The next thing we hear is the sound of raisin bran cereal pouring onto the floor...the WHOLE BOX!
This is just one story of many disasters...including the time the kids raided the spice drawer, opened the turmeric (of all things they could get into, right?), and spilled it on the floor. Our white socks continued to turn yellow on the bottoms no matter how many times we washed the floor. There is also the flour disaster (pictured), countless cheerios disasters, diaper cream disasters, mascara disaster (on our comforter, no less), permanent marker disaster, let's-fling-around-our-poopy-diapers disaster, and probably more too.
Despite all that craziness, though, all it takes is one little kiss or hug between the twins to completely override any annoying-ness of the other stuff. What joy God has brought to our lives!
If you look closely enough, you can make out the little fingerprints and footprints in the flour...
Above is our attempt at an Easter family picture. HA!
Look Mom! I can get a snack anytime I want!
AND, the SWEETEST part of having twins: the smooches they give each other (too bad the picture doesn't capture the sound...that's the best part!)
Oh, goodness. Sounds so much like my life right now. Edward is crazy, crazy - into everything!!! But I love him to pieces anyways, even if he is driving me nuts much of the time. :)
