No, there will be no pictures for this post as I was too exasperated to run and get my camera and certainly did not want to send the message that I was condoning the newest antics of the gruesome twosome.
We put the kiddos down for a nap after Katie came home from preschool and they went down with no problem (never a good sign). I waited a couple of minutes and asked Marc if he could hear them on the monitor as it was waaaay too quiet on the western front. He said that he did not and we both started our respective work. For some reason I decided that it was no fluke that they were that quiet and walked over to the hallway outside of their room. I heard talking so I crept closer and that is when I heard the phrase that I titled this post with. What!!??!! I threw the door open to find Katie out of her bed and standing next to Ethan's pack and play (this is where he is presently sleeping until his toddler bed arrives and that is a whole other story having to do with the ineptitude of Babies R Us). She was holding some cream and in his P&P he was sitting amongst assorted creams, hair clips, q-tips, and holding a fingernail clipper. I am not sure what she wanted him to put in her ear...amazing! All of this stuff was inside the drawer of their changing table and had a childproof lock on it that seems to be missing...huh?!?
I admonished them sternly, took out all of the dangerous items and told them to go to sleep now!! Five minutes later, I hear Ethan squealing and I run back in to find that they had now gotten all of the hair clippies out and were playing again.
We moved Ethan out of the room and put him in the playroom in his P&P for his nap. What the H*E* double toothpicks are we gonna do with these two...double groan!! If any of you have any wisdom that you would like to share please feel free. I am just gonna sit back for the next hour and medicate myself with chocolate.

those 2 little devils are gonna be the death of you! Perhaps you will finally get some gray hairs because it still pisses me off that I have em and you don't. I knew I shouldn't have shown them how to use the child locks. Hehehe
Lesson 1: child locks are really meant to prevent parents from quickly opening anything, because kids can take them apart no problem.
Suggestion 1: Kids will play. Maybe a supervised nap? Like they can lie down with a pillow on the floor closeby while you work (so you can keep an eye on them). If they have access to toys or things to play with, guarenteed they will go for them. So maybe nap time should be say, in the living room? Just an idea.
Lesson 2: Chocolate works. Suggestion 2: Medicate with chocolate more often.
DOUBLE TROUBLE STRIKES AGAIN.THE BONDITT STRIKES THE WEINSTOCK HOUSEHOLD AGAIN. tHE LITTLE BUBELE KATIE APPEARS TO HAVE GUILT WRITTEN ALL OVER HER PUNAM,EMMES, FOR SHE WAS OUT OF HER BED AND THE ANGEL ETHAN WAS TUCKED IN HIS P&P FOR HIS MUCH NEEDED NAP. IN MIN DERINNEN MARK AND LORI QUESTION EACH OTHER ABOUT THE TOO QUIET MOMENTS. SACHE,. HOW ABOUT A STEEL FENCE BETWEEN HE KIDDES, OR HIS AND HER CAGES.
LOVE MY NIECE AND NEPHEW.
LOVE uncle howard
From what I just read, you need more than a little chocolate! Those 2 kiddos are hysterical. Really. I can just imagine the situations you're going to be dealing with when they're older.
I promise that Erin won't teach them any tricks. Or do I worry now that the Dynamic Duo will be teaching Erin some new tricks?
Dove, dark chocolate with raspberry center & lots of it!
Good Luck
They are adorable and twice the FUN together!! Just think of ALL the stories you will have to tell them when they are older. I think you might need a little more then chocolate.
I have always enjoyed your blog but I have to say I am enjoying even more lately:)
Keep Smiling:)
Lori& Marc,
Those two kindala (Howard, I know Yiddish too) are wonderful and IMO very normal.
I can just hear Katie twenty years from now saying, "I did that?" and " I said that?"
Another adorable story to relate to my knitting group!
Love you
Aunt Shirley
Had to come and tell you Katie is on the homepage for apc yahoo group.
