you know you're a mom of twin toddlers when...

Even though it's 97 degrees out, humid, with no breeze, you pop them in the stroller and go for a walk because the whining is driving you bonkers. And on your walk, you notice two pigeons on the sidewalk squabbling over a scrap of bread, your knee-jerk reaction is, "Oh no, another fight to break up."

Oh Holly...

It sounds like one of those days. Hang in there. Yesterday at the grocery store -- where my girls are normally wonderfully behaved because they like to sit in their stroller and look at all of the people -- I actually had to resort to handing one of them my dirty yucky car keys to chew on and the other got my work Blackberry. I was at the checkout and they started melting down so I didn't even think about it; I just reached into my purse and grabbed the two most interesting and shiny things I could find to distract them. That's my twin toddler moment of the week.

:laughing: Isn't that what the hose is for? Just strap them in the stroller and cool them off! No, seriously, that was when I'd turn on their Little Miss Spider sprinkler, throw 25 plastic containers around it, strip them down and head to the backyard to play with the water. Maybe it's just my boys, but water was always the answer around here. There were some rainy winter days when my boys had 2-3 baths!
