March - Twins



Natalie has been really challenging lately (in other words - aggravating, a pain in the butt, makes me want to scream and say bad words...you get the point). I thought Carolyn was a pain at this age...I had no idea!  It's her way of communicating. She can speak in sentences when she wants to, and even surprises us with big words. But ONLY when SHE feels like it. Mostly when we don't present her with what she expected, instead of saying no (or even crying at us), she crumples to the floor in a pouting pile. (Then, the tantrum comes.)
The other thing that drives me crazy is the way she picks fights with everyone else in the house. (Come on - if you're the smallest, at least have the sense not to pick fights! Yes, I know Libbi, Andrew was the same way.  Has he ever stopped?)
Well, on the way home from visiting the new cousin at the hospital, (yes, Natalie had had one of those days), she and Kaitlyn began singing some kids songs and primary songs, and sang most of the way home. It was really cute (esp. the wheels on the bus). I wished I could have filmed it.

I know I haven't been posting much - I go in phases. I took a few of the videos I've filmed this month of the twins, and using windows movie maker (which my brother is teaching me to use), I compiled them into a video. 

Anyways, the video has some cute moments of the twins (when they are fighting or tearing apart the house or taking off diapers).

Awwww..that was so cute! I loved Jacob getting them to say "I'm bad" and "I'm worse"...their running around made me tired...so glad I am not you! You have some fun during the day now, don't you??? They are way too cute for words!!!

Everyone without twins wants them, because they are so cute, and we do not see the BAD times!!! I also like how you get them to run around, is that your secret to getting them tired to go to sleep!! HAHA Also I like how you had your home rearranged! Did you get new carpet? It looked lighter and very clean!! Which I know is a hard task!!! I have seemed to be spot cleaning mine every week here, we have red dirt, and it does not like to come out of anything!!! Very cute, Thanks for sharing! Soon you will miss these days, just keep telling yourself that!
Actually, we just got rid of the monster computer desk and the big green chair (out in the garage - listed on craig's list) and my brothers helped us move stuff around to look more open...what a big difference it made for the apperance of the carpet! (It does need to be replaced still. I can't get the 'wear and tear' spots out.)
Yes,and I think everyone that wants twins should get them! haha

It looks like you have a little me! Now if I could build a whole army of me's I could rule the world. Bwahahaha. Loved the video by the way.
Yes, you know, the other day, I thought….Natalie is like me as Lauren is to Jean! She’s got that little hyperness about her and that attitude like it’s her way or no way! And she can be so sweet and loving and show she loves you, but then if she doesn’t like something, she can’t just show it with a simple ‘no’ or shake of the head. She has to crumple to the floor or pitch a fit, or throw the plate across the table b/c it had the wrong character on it!
