After years of infertility and IVF, we've finally seen light from the other side. I knew it could happen, but certainly didn't think it would be us ... our new life with twins. Gulp.

Note to Self

When adorable 16 month-old twins rummage through the pantry for a little something to play with, and then pull out a half used envelope of hot chocolate mix and proceed to sprinkle it all over the floor and themselves, do not, I repeat DO NOT, be too lazy to pull out the vacuum and then use sopping wet paper towels to clean up the powder.

It makes for chocolate babies who thoroughly enjoy licking their own sticky fingers, toes, legs, and arms, as well as all exposed body parts of the other twin.


Edited to add:

Additional note for times when children, no matter what, will not follow you into the bathroom/kitchen/bedroom/car:

A small laser pointer, intended to stupify your felines, is the perfect tool for corraling small toddlers. Follow the red dot...

Thank you! That is a lovely picture in my mind first thing in the morning.. the twins, not the cleaning it up part!

Bwhahahahaha! My twins haven't done this, but I feel that it's only a matter of time.

Brilliant idea about the laser pointer. Brilliant!

Do you read Lisa at Twinkle Little Star? Back in July, her two-year-old boys had a field day with Carnation Instant Breakfast: http://twinklelittlestar.typepad.com/letter/2007/07/luckily-this-ha.html
