Eggs

Seriously...can someone help me understand how this...
turns into this...Eggs were on sale on Smiths the other day so I stocked up. I bought six dozen. My girls have managed to break 5 of those 6 dozen over the course of about 3 days. I have scolded and punished and hid the eggs (apparently not good enough). They have been on the top shelf in my outside garage. So what to do? Yesterday the girls got a little bum swat and some time in their room. Twins makes time in the room a non-factor because then it becomes the perfect time to play Prince/Princess and dress up in all your clothes. If I separate them into different rooms then I have to clean up two rooms after the storm settles. You might be wondering where I was during this time. Where I always am...in the bathtub watching soap operas of course. One time I was actually reading them stories in the living room when Cameron needed some (5 minutes) help outside. The other time I was making dinner when Dave came home and found them in the garage. I am convinced that it is premeditated. It is like one says to the other "its your turn to distract her today, I will go start on the eggs. Meet me as soon as you can!" Someday when I have two PERFECT little teenagers I will laugh at all of this...RIGHT???

They are partners in crime for sure. You probably deserve a day in the bath tub watching whatever you please. Hang in there. I am starting to see the light and I'm sure you eventually, will too.

You need to be in the tub watching soaps so you don't pull all your hair out. Laugh at them now, because when you have two teenagers you will wish all you had to worry about were eggs being broken!:)

Don't know if this makes me laugh or cry...but it is a little close to home for me. ;) Again, thanks for letting us crash on such short notice. LOVED catching up, always do. I love friends who you don't have to see for years, but when you do, its just like old times. Tell the kids sorry. It was like Christmas morning for my kids and they were SOOOO loud!!! I'm surprised anyone could sleep through them! Thanks again, you're the best!

Hmmm, reminds me of the Hickman boys. Next they'll be starting fires in the closet.
