Lazybones, Layin' in the Shade

These two would not nap for very long today. I warned them that the laundry-folding event downstairs wouldn't be that exciting, but they persisted. Thank heavens for laundry baskets. Not only are they great as improvised cars, zoo cages, boats, stepstools, and toddler seating, but today they became lounge chairs--perfect for my twinners.
They made it through three and a half loads of laundry-folding like this. Apparently they were pretty comfy.


 But, of course, things had to get dramatic. A left for a minute, so E switched spots. Not to be deterred, A returned and moved right back into her former spot. 

E didn't protest (perhaps because he knew she would bite him) . . .

. . .but I don't think this was what he had in mind when he initially climbed in.

It looks like they had a blast. I love it when ordinary objects occupy kids' attention for extended periods of time. Better than toys.

And I realized near the end of reading your post that they are wearing the outfits that I made! I'm so glad they are at least semi-wearable. :)

I love the pics! I also love how you explain the event. SOOO cute! Man, they are getting big!

They are SO big! I can't wait to see them (okay, and you) in just two short weeks now! It makes the 5 hour plane ride doing my kiddies all by myself totally worth it!

definitely not what she had in mind. she will be fighting that boy (& others) for her own space for the rest of her life, I am sure.

Haha out loud. That just cracked me up for some reason. Just the whole sequence of events. That first photo compared to the last one...!!!

I imagine this is what your life is like each day - lots of action, kids with a mind of their own, and lots of cute moments. Girls can be amazingly determined and boys can be amazingly complacent. I love the look on both of their faces in the last photo!
