That’s right, crazy. We all delighted
in our crazy babes and their antics.

Well, I think we've got the "Dynamic Duo"
around here now. It's started already,
I'm afraid. This morning I heard what
I thought was Michael in the kitchen,
getting into the cupboards. I called to
him to get out, but he answered from
upstairs. Uh oh. I went in to find the
twins having a blast. They had opened
up a few drawers and found the drawer
where I keep the pasta and were
surrounded by little bits of spaghetti
and macaroni noodles. We cleaned it up
together -- Allison even picked up little
bits of pasta and handed it to me.
Later on, I was with Sarah and some of
the other kids when I hear little "pings"
in the kitchen. Allison had gotten into
our pantry and found a few new toys -
she decided to mix popcorn kernals and
whole wheat flour (hey, at least she's
healthy), then spilled some of both
on the floor.

I guess we've decided that it's time to
have assigned cribs. This is because
every time Allison is in the crib by the
window, she climbs up on the changing
table and plays there before going to
sleep -- ON the changing table! I feel
bad that now Sarah is the only one who
gets to look out the window, but I
guess that's the breaks. The only
hitch is that the crib we're putting
Allison in is about an inch lower, and
she's climbed out of it twice. So we'll
see what happens.

I am always on my toes lately. This
second year of twins has certainly
been more challenging than the first.

You two are always on the table,
which means I have to make sure and
clear it off as soon as possible after
every meal. If I leave a glass of water
or a piece of the newspaper, well,
watch out!
You are also little beggars and have
continued begging for sweet things.
You refuse to keep your bibs on, which
means sometimes your clothes have
drips of ice cream or yogurt or peaches
on them (see Exhibit A, to the right).
But I wouldn’t have it any
other way -- I love the challenge of
parenting my two active, curious girls.
