This morning I was going insane trying to keep the twins at bay while I cleaned up from our whirlwind weekend. I finally asked the boys to take the babies down to the basement and show them some toys. I cleaned for a little while, and decided to check the computer. I only read 2 blog entries, my CIL Kathryn and Kierste, both about their twin girls. I was ready to start back to work, but finishing Kierste's comment... hadn't pressed send yet, and the comment was something about how cute it was when the girls shared contraband snacks with each other. I felt a little squishy hand on my arm, and looked at my overjoyed Kierste, covered in Miranda's pink birthday cake, and her sister, opening the office shutters with her cakey hands. I followed their trail back to the kitchen - each of them took a different route, of course - and I am happy to say I chose the good part. I had already been upset today. I had already found myself inwardly thinking of all the rooms that locked.
This time, I got the camera and blogged it.
Strawberry cake with a package of Wild Strawberry Jello and pineapple in it doesn't look as messy as it is when you're following it with a washrag down the hall and through the dining room. I thought it would be fun to make it Texas sheet cake style for Sunday dinner, so everyone's piece was more fancy looking: larger and flatter... but all it did was make more surface area for baby hands... we were going to finish that off for FHE tonight!
Happily unashamed of her amazing find!
So, okay, here are some other recent contraband incidents. While I made dinner, I saw H & K out on the tramp together, and thought it was cute that they were just 2 little dots out in the yard together. Grabbed the camera.
What sweet pals.
Zoomed in on my darlings. What the...
Sharing the last of the bagels from the bread drawer.
Whole wheat appetizers for impending dinner... fine.
Okay, in hindsight I realize the cupcakes -- you know, the grody, more-than-a-truckload-of-food-coloring ones 
-- were too close to the edge of the counter.
-- were too close to the edge of the counter.
The consolation for the trauma of all that food coloring coming down on your face? Getting stripped naked and eating them on the deck
And sister wins, too

Oh my goodness Melanie, you were NOT kidding about the contraband! I am totally feeling your pain--some of those pictures could have easily been my girls. I think it's much easier to get into trouble, when you have a cohort! They are WAY too cute--seriously!!
Your girls are adorable and work so good together! :) I love you so much. We will miss you ALOT at thanksgiving. :(
Fun times. Aren't twins so lucky to have each other? A partner in crime and best friend since birth (and probably in Heaven too). Also, Lucy and Elsa would LOVE your backyard tramp.
omigosh!! Mel, you're still sane! :) I know we've had this discussion... I LOVE seeing the pictures though Seriously, it is funny and cute, later. I like the partner in crime part. they must have so much fun together. And THE keeping you on your toes has got to count for something right?? Calorie burning???? Stress weight loss? ( I would hope for those things. There has TO BE A MOMMY BENEFIT SOMEWHERE. aHH, THEY INHERITED THAT GENIUS CREATIVITY. See?
oh my goodness Melanie! So funny! I learned very early with Lindsey to hide any treats up high or usually in the oven! She would do the same thing.
Totally funny because it wasn't my kids although it easily could have been! You should get a prize for keeping your cool!!
