When Mommy's Away...

I spent one afternoon (a few hours) out picking up my mom from the airport and grocery shopping. I get home to find this:

I know that I am partly to blame. I wondered how long it would be before letting them color on the walls of the shower with special crayons would make them think it was okay to color on any walls with any crayons...

I wondered how they managed to do so much coloring (in so many places) without Daddy noticing. Where was he? Apparently, standing nearby and watching. He didn't want to crush their artistic aspirations, and thought maybe it would be cool to give them a wall where they could color, paint, draw... I'm open to the idea (we have a lot of white wall space down there), but I told him there had to be a better way to encourage their art while protecting our walls (and floors)!

As I mentioned, Gigi is here! The twins are having a blast, and I am enjoying how much easier it is with an extra person around to entertain the kiddos!

Gigi had been playing with them on the floor, and got tired. She laid down and Ryan saw that as an invitation for a pony ride!

Gigi brought Allie a Mickey Mouse necklace, and she LOVES it. She has worn it whenever she is awake, and constantly looks at it, touches it, and even gives it hugs and kisses!

The twinners are still sick, but I feel like it can't be too bad because even though their cough is raspy and their nose is gooky and they are way more cranky than normal - their energy level hasn't changed one bit! Thank goodness for Gigi!
