People hear us refer to the babies as "double trouble" or "Thing 1 and Thing 2", but you just don't understand unless you've experienced them 1st hand! Having 2 little ones only 14 months apart must be like having twins or maybe even worse? The older Kenna and Ethan get the more the understand how to "gang up" on people.
This past Monday my parents agreed to babysit for just the 2 babies, while we took the 2 older kids to a baseball game. So we dropped them off at 5 pm and then they stayed the night and we got them back at 8:30am.
So in the 15 hours they were with Nana and Papa they managed to conspire and "do" plenty to give my parents things to laugh and talk about.
For instance they unplugged the lamp and so the next morning my dad went to turn the light on and it wouldn't work so he thought the bulb was burnt out so he got another one, replaced it and when it still wouldn't work he got dressed in the dark after which he realsed the lamp was unplugged.
Makenna and Ethan have been in swim lessons for the last month. For the first few weeks Kenna (in typical Kenna fashion totally monopolized the instructors time) and then for the last few weeks, Ethan has kept them on their toes with his mischievous ways.
I'm pretty confident that some of Makenna has rubbed off onto my once sweet and Innocent Ethan.
My babies are so sweet. Ethan loves his "Nenna" and Makenna loves her "Bug Bug".
Last night Makenna announced that "Daddy is not her friend, nope, he's not." I asked who she liked and she said, "Mommy, Bug Bug, Bubba and Sissy only". So what brought on this conversation? Her Daddy told her the N.O. word and it just plain pissed her off.
As I walk down the hallway I am met by a soaking wet Ethan, so wet that little water droplets are dripping from his forehead.
"Ethan why are you all wet? Where did that water come from?" I asked
His reply was as simple as one word, "Toilet."
"WHAT!!! What do you mean toilet?", before he had time to reply Makenna appeared just as drenched with a huge smile across her face.
"Makenna Jean! Why are you two all wet?"
"Um, we put toilet paper in the toilet and made water balls, yeah, we did, (giggle) yeah we had a water fight, yeah!"
Shocked, I yelled for Ryan. Slowly we entered the bathroom and found out that the babies are experts at making spit balls, to the tune of using the WHOLE role of toilet paper! There were wet gooey spit balls everywhere!! They expanded from the floor up the walls to the ceiling!
