    Some cute poems and how to know you are a mother of tiwns that I foun when i was looking for sayings for the boys B-day video...


    You know you’re really a TWINS mom When…
    1. You count the sprinkles on each kid's cupcake to make sure they're
    equal.
    2. You want to take out a contract on the kid who broke your child's
    favorite toy and made him/her cry.
    3. You have time to shave only one leg a week.
    4. You hide in the bathroom to be alone.
    5. Your child throws up and you catch it.
    6. Someone else's kid throws up at a party and you keep eating.
    7. You consider finger paint to be a controlled substance.
    8. You mastered the art of placing food on a plate without anything
    touching.
    9. Your child insists that you read "Once Upon a Potty" out loud in
    the lobby of the doctor's office, and you do it.
    10. You hire a sitter because you haven't been out with your husband
    in ages, then spend half the night talking about and checking on
    the kids.
    11. You hope ketchup is a vegetable because it's the only one your
    child eats.
    12. You find yourself cutting your husband's sandwiches into unusual
    shapes.
    13. You hear your mother's voice coming out of your mouth when
    you say, "Not in your good clothes."
    14. You stop criticizing the way your mother raised you.
    15. You read that the average 5-year-old asks 437 questions a day and
    realize that means 874 a day for you to answer.
    16. You say at least once a day, "I'm not cut out for this job," but
    you know you wouldn't trade it for anything!â€


    Multiples of Love
    Multiples can spell trouble, it's true—
    They cry, they smash, they tear.
    They break and spill and bite and scratch
    And pull each other's hair.

    They practice art upon the walls
    And yank electric cords.
    And cookies, milk and other "things"
    Are ground into the floors.

    They drive their mothers crazy,
    Their fathers go berserk.
    Dad's glad when Monday rolls around
    So he escapes to work.

    The diaper pails are full again!
    The laundry's piled high.
    The doctor's bills (and others, too!)
    Are mounting to the sky.

    So if you have a single child
    As placid as a dove,
    Contain your envy, if you can
    We're lucky to have twice
    The amount of children's love!


    Mother of Twins Prayer
    There's two to wash,
    There's two to dry;
    There's two who argue,
    There's two who cry.
    One's in the mud,
    Having a ball;
    The other holds a crayon...
    Another marked wall.
    Some days seem endless,
    My patience grows thin.
    Why did God choose me
    To be a mother of twins?
    The answer comes clear-
    At the end of the day,
    As I tuck them in bed
    And to myself I say...
    There's two to kiss,
    There's two to hug;
    And best of all,
    Thank You, God, for two to love.

    Edited to add this one...it made me cry....
    A Poem About Twins

    The heavens were excited, statistics were right.

    "Gather round" the wisest of angels said, "Gods designed twins tonight."

    It's quite a marvelous process as anybody knows...

    Two separate souls beginning their lives, as his love just overflows.

    Perhaps he'll make them just alike, or as different as can be.

    But that's the way he wants it. He's planned it that way you see.

    He must find a loving mom and a special dad...

    For twins take special parents and the best just must be had.

    So your joy is mighty special, I'm sure you know that's true.

    God knew you'd be these parents and so, he's sent you two.

    I love those! I read all of them looking for a twin birthday poem for the Children's Calendar. (I never did find a twins birthday poem I liked though.) Thanks for sharing!
