The Grass is Always Greener...

So the past couple of weeks have been pretty tough on Mommy/Daddy. The twins had a stomach bug and let me tell you, IT WASN'T PRETTY!! Recovering from the bug coupled with some more pesky teeth working their way through and you've got massively cranky toddlers. After a few 'Whoa is me' moments (okay, days really) on my part, I decided to pull out all the stops in my efforts to distract these children from their temper tantrums. I emptied out the toy box and let them sit inside and read books. Got a good 20 minutes of entertainment out of that. But who knew that simply allowing them to play in each others cribs would result in sixty blissful, cranky-free minutes. AHHHH....

Maddie's latest obsession is wearing Aidan's baseball cap:

Oh and we also spent some time gazing longingly out the window at our swingset and dreaming of the summer days to come:

I am happy to report that the past two days have brought us very pleasant and generally well behaved children :)
