The apples of my eye

    When I was pregnant with the twins I totally thought I was prepared for what was coming.  I thought Im a pretty patient person I LOVE kids and all I wanted was to have a little family of my own. I helped my loving brothers with their twins which I have two brothers with twins. I thought really there is no other person more prepared then me. I also had a lot of my friends and family tell me if anyone could handle twins its you! (which thanks for the boost of confidence, it's now getting me no where.) People who had twins would tell me how hard it is to have twins and I always thought get over it how hard can it be. But I can now tell you there is NO preparing for twins. Don't get me wrong they are the apples of my eye. My whole world, I would be a mess with out them.
       But today was one of those days.......which it started out pretty good the twins only got in to the candy cabinet once this morning. Only played in one toilet while I was getting ready and only wasted one toilet paper roll. So I felt pretty good, went to the children's museum with a good friend and her son. they where good actually and you know for the most part I have good kids just two of them. Two of them with two different minds and different ways of getting into trouble to work together to get into more trouble. After the museum we went to lunch with our  besties and they did good they ate most of there lunch and were quiet. On the drive home I was able to keep them up all the way. So I thought I was having a really good day. I put them down for a nap and they were quietly laying in their beds. About 20 minutes later I heard laughter which is pretty normal. They always fall asleep after about 20 minutes of laughter. I decided to check on them for some reason which I never do if their awoke. They had climbed out of their cribs and Bentley had taken off his diaper and took a dump on the floor got it everywhere I mean EVERYWHERE in the carpet on the walls all over him and chloe. And the only reason Chloe hadn't done the same is cuz she was wearing a onies. Which she wears only because she has been taking off her diaper before her nap and then she pees and poos everywhere after her nap. So I cleaned them up put them back to bed and they got out again only to take a canyon to all the walls in their room (which I throw away canyons now anytime I see them so they most be hiding them), to take out all the wipes out of the bag, and to throw all there clothes out of the closet, out of the dirty clothes and out of the dresser. Then during dinner Bentley wanted nothing to do with it and only wanted the rolls. Chloe one the other hand was eating like the beast on beauty and the beast. ( I couldn't help but  to laugh at that) And getting food every while feeding the dogs most of her dinner. 
           Im now scared to put them down for a nap or ever leave their side not because I think they'll get hurt but because I don't want to clean off one more wall with canyon on it. or get poo out of a crib or off the floor or find them in the toilet or outside running in the streets with out shoes on in the snow. Which I'm sure a lot of your are thinking how are you away from them long enough for any of this to happen. It happens in a blink of an eye. I can't go to the bathroom with out being scared I can't get in the shower, make dinner, do the dishes, vacuum, I can't even make a grocery list with out something going wrong.
         But then after I went crazy for about an hour! Evan give them a bath. I went to see how things were going, they started to count for me, which they have never counted before. And everything went away, all the crazy inside of me left. My babies are learning, they can count to three, they now know most of their colors. And Bentley is talking up a storm. And now when we do night prays they fold their arms, close their eyes and bow their little heads. I love my monsters they're my monster and I wouldn't change it for anything but..... I would not wish twins on anyone. I have dreams of having just one. and maybe just one more. But If I had to chose between just having one more or twins again I would chose twins again. So they haven't scared me away from more children just not more children right now. 
       So to end on a happier note we went to the zoo on saturday with some of our best friends the hancocks. It was  so nice to get out of the house and enjoy the warmer weather for the few days it was here.  
Kate please don't be to mad at me for using your amazing photos which I love, I wanted them on here so that I could remember that I do still love my children. And by no means do I want anyone to think that I took these wonderful picture they where done by Kate Hancock with Sugar Photo Co. 




 I'm sure your now noticing Bentley is missing his glass that is cuz he hid them from me.




This one is by far my favorite one!
