Cleaning, Curtains and Winter Jackets

My twin boys make me laugh everyday.  From their silly faces to their downright hysterical antics, these boys were born with a sense of humour that is a true delight.  One of the things that I marvel at as a twin mom is how much fun they can have doing the simplest things and that half of the fun is that they are doing it together.    Growing up as an only child I didn’t have a built in playmate, and I can tell you that every day I wished I had a sibling to spend time with.  My boys have it even better.  They not only have a sibling, but a partner in life (and crime).  From the moment they were conceived they have been together and they prefer it that way.  My husband and I on numerous occasions have tried to give them their own separate time with us to do an activity, go shopping or even just go outside and play.  They want nothing of it.  The entire time they are separated they ask for the other one.  “Where’s brother?” “Where’s brother?” is the constant refrain when apart.

Today, I had a lot of work to do so my husband tried to keep the boys busy so I could get everything done. But, I was interrupted by two adorable things I had to capture with my camera.

Nico LOVES to clean.

Swiffer, vacuum, sweep, dusting, you name it, this kids loves to do it!  I sure hope that it continues.

The boys also love clothes, especially new clothes.  Today is was SO cold out that I needed to get their newly ordered LL Bean winter jackets out for them to play outside.  First they pranced around the house in them, showing off their new threads.  Then, they decided to play in the curtains.  I have never seen two boys have so much fun running in and out of the curtains.  Their giggles were contagious and so heartwarming.

Hurry up parents!  We’re ready to go!

Jackson tried to get involved…

The look of pure happiness!
