TOP 10 REASONS I SOMETIMES CONSIDER PUTTING THE TWINKS OUT WITH THE TRASH:
- Ethan blowing a raspberry on Nanny's arm right in the middle of prayer during church
- Emma constantly tearing her pony tails down in order to put on one of her many tiaras. Evidently princesses or mermaid queens don't wear ponytails
- The fact that every single day I put at least 50 books back on the shelves because the kids feel the need to "read" every evening in their beds.
- The fact that our water bill has gone up considerably since the kids have figured out that with their step stool they can wash their own hands and brush their own teeth- 86 times a day
- We have 36 scratched DVDs because some people feel the need to play with them, yet we watch Cars and Polly Pocket Pollyworld so often that I have them both memorized.
- There are only so many times you can hear "Ethan pinch-ed me" followed by "Emma hitt-ed me" before your brain starts to hurt.
- "But I don't WANT to eat [insert any food in the house] for breakfast/lunch/dinner"
- How hard is it to understand "Don't dump all the shampoo/conditioner/body wash into the bathtub while your bathing to create bubbles?" Evidently pretty hard, because I'm about to buy stock in the L'oreal Kids corporation.
- If I step on another matchbox car, have to dress another Barbie or Polly Pocket, or stub my toe on another play grocery cart/stroller/highchair, I might lose it.
- HOw is it we can eat in a restaurant and they can stay seated and eat like human beings yet when we are at home it's like corralling greased pigs to get them to sit and the kitchen floor resembles a trough?
- They're too smart for their own good and they'd find their way back anyway
- because they're so sweet when they're asleep
- because a kiss or hug for no reason at all is so sweet
- because I love hearing what their imaginations come up with
- because there's no one I'd rather nuggle with
- because every morning they wake up happy and run down the hall
- because their thirst for knowledge is amazing and heartwarming and makes me hopeful for the future
- because they're like short little people with their own opinions and ideas and that amazes me
- because they love to sing little songs and it's so cute
- because they're mine

Hehe....i don't think our trash guys would take them anyway, they'd actually have to get out of the truck and touch them!
They are definitely worth keeping!
"Because they're so sweet when they're asleep." LOL! Even I'm sweet when I'm sleeping! Did Ethan Racecar Driver see that the Marshall car crashed in the qualifiers? Mwahahahaha! Marshall even sucks at NASCAR!
Glad you've talked yourself out of putting them out with the trash. You'd miss them for sure!
You should definitely keep them! Where else could you and Michael find such perfect mini-mes?
Great pictures...keep them coming...I have the same running thoughts when Lydia yells "luuia" long after we have stop singing and father has starteed his homily. Then screams DOWNIE whe she want to get down and run around the aisles.
Your kids are definitely keepers. I am sure you have your hands full though. Quite frankly, I dont know how you managed with twins. Vivian wears me out. Clearly you are a supermomma!!! Great Pics. Take Care.
I think they are definitely keepers as well! Plus they are very sweet- even when they are awake!
