Twins!

Here goes the day..........we pick up Leah for an ortho appt. That goes well. McDonald's for lunch. I listen to a hilarious story between the twins about, "remember when Grandpa brought us to McDonald's." Brooke: "Yea, that was fun. I had nuggets." Macy: "maybe they'll take us again someday." Brooke: "Yea, if we see them again." (Grandpa and Grandma are in Florida. It's only been a few weeks but to 3 year olds it's been YEARS).

Next to my work. I was talking to a lady I worked with when I 1st graduated from nursing school. She said, "I heard you have a special needs child, how is she doing?" Totally sincere, sweet lady, as Brooke is yelling at a man going down the stairs, "HEY MAN, I SAID HI TO YOU!" Yea, she's "special" alright!! I should've been embarrassed by my child's actions but I chuckled. (we thought she was going to be shy)

Next to Sam's club where they twins decided to have a fist fight. My options were to stop them or let it go til they stop. They are 3, their attention span is not that long. So, they duked it out, Brooke drew blood and then it was done. I continued shopping (I was on a mission).

Next stop home........I am putting groceries away and all is quiet. This can't be good, no worries LOTS of laughter (even worse). Again I have options. I chose to put my groceries away. Once all was put away I found them in their room with Pop tart pieces all over and about 20 band aides stuck to the carpet. hehehe, could've been worse. So I plopped down on the floor, had some Pop tarts with them and they helped me unstick the band aides. Then we vacuumed.

My point to this story................do the youngest children really get away with more. Absolutely!! BUT there is a reason. It doesn't matter! You realize after your 1st few kids, the things you thought were REALLY important aren't as important anymore. Sometimes they have to figure it out themselves. Obviously I did talk with Brooke about manners and not yelling at adult men or any adults for that matter. And she had to apologize. We discussed fighting but sometimes they have to figure it out themselves. They have to realize if they call someone a "stupid head" chances are they might get punched. And naughtiness, you put two 3 year olds together, things are going to get messy.

I must say, I am so glad these 2 came along later in my years. I have apologized to Leah. Being the oldest must suck sometimes. All in all, it's a great day with some fabulous ladies!!!

All tired out after all that action :)

Macy has been without a pipe since fall. She found this yesterday and was so proud of herself! She couldn't wait to show me :) Too bad it's "lost" again!!!
