One of the most interesting (and also annoying and exasperating) things about having twins is how they follow each other into trouble. One twin decides to pull a book off the bookshelf. The other one follows suit and very quickly, there is a pile of books on the floor. One twin (the taller one) decides to open a closed door. Almost instantaneously, his sister is right behind him, ready to go into Mom's office and climb up onto her chair, bang on her keyboard, and probably write all over her desk with pens and pencils. My most recent least favorite occurrence of this was when they both got into my bathroom. I walked into the room to find that they had ripped into a box of *ahem* feminine hygiene products. Of course, as I walked in, they both dropped what they were doing and scattered. "Nope. Not doing anything wrong here, Mom!"

soren used to get into my tampons and step on them because they make a popping sound as the wrapper bursts...awesome.
All my boys have tried to play with my tampons at one time or another. I think it is something I should bring up when they start dating...hee oh the horror!
I do like the matching overalls and jail like picture!!
So cute! Its awesome that they have a built in buddy. Crazy how much taller A2 is than N!
Thomas and Elijah play together happily for hours--that's the up side of twins--but sometimes I hear the giggling change. Thomas has this certain laugh that I know means, "We are being sooooo naughty right now!" It often precedes him crying because whatever he was doing was, naturally, not safe or generally advisable.
Sooo cute! I guess twins can be both double the trouble and twice as nice! This picture is definitely the latter.
My favorite feminine products story was when I was about Vannie's age and Rita and I staged a neighborhood talent show. All the parents came. I sauntered out onto the stage singing,"Hey look me over, lend me an ear..." sporting one of my mothers sanitary belts. I hooked my thumbs into them as if they were suspenders. It was the closest thing I could find. Of course none of you can remember the days we had to use those, can you :)
I love the picture of your two jailbirds. Kohl has tried to explain to me how to a tampon is used. I thought "where on earth did he learn that"
It does make for great stories.
HAHAHA! It is exhausting cleaning up after 1 toddler! I can't imagine 2! I hope they don't write on walls or anything!
