Donna's (doublehappiness) challenge this week is NO! NO!
You would think after this much time with twins I would have oodles of photos to show for this challenge. I don't. Maybe the last (almost) 3 years have been a blur. Maybe I was too busy cleaning up the aftermath. My girls are active and curious but I have no crayon marks etc. to show for it. The photo below from last December is the best I have. It is of Aubrey a few hours after returning from the ER. The little red spot on her chin is from her tooth going through. The inside, where several teeth had tried to make it all the way through, was much worse. She had been spinning around with food in her mouth. A BIG no no here. Think choking hazard, spewing food everywhere, not sitting in her seat where she should be finishing her meal. She slipped and flew into a leather footstool. She literally bounced back off of it.
So here she is goofing around afterwards using a banana for a telephone.
ouch, that hurt .....
Im sure there were lots of tears after that fall.

Man, you are "Super Woman". How did you manage to make it through three years and your girls listen to you??!! Do tell please... WE struggle on a daily basis. They do understand the meaning of the word NO, but it goes in one ear and out the other!

Andrea, yes, there were a lot of tears but isn't it wild how resiliant kids are! Crying one minute and laughing the next. Aubrey is one tough kiddo and this was her 2nd trip to the ER for an injury.
Rony, I am no Super Woman! I just don't have photos! I'd say my girls are more strong willed than mischevious though. That is a little harder to get on film. And as far as listening to the word no, well, one is a rule maker and the other is a rule breaker but by this age they understand Mama is all about consequences!

Now come on Senja! The banana isn't the no no, unless she was planning to peel it and set it in her sister's path. It just happens to be in the pic with the booboo. And, yes, we are aliens but we try to keep it hush hush as the covenants here are quite strict.
