Duct tape

After countless episodes of poop fingerpaint in spite of every effort I made to avoid it, a roll of duct tape caught my eye and it has been my best friend ever since. A good wrap once around the diaper seems to deter Cami from stripping down to her birthday suit. This girl does not like to keep her clothes on. She prefers to run around in just her diaper at home and last week at church she took her dress off 3 times, exposing my duct tape solution to the anyone who was watching. I was surprised at how many people shared my frustration, it was a conversation starter!

Yesterday I went to lunch with a friend. Maddie was at Chuck-a-rama with her great grandma so it was just me and the twins. Cami and Brie were happily eating their macaroni and cheese. At one point Brie was distracted by something going on in the room and Cami noticed that Brie had more mac & cheese than she did. She nonchalantly switched the bowls and started eating Brie's mac & cheese. So funny.

It's a good thing they're so cute because they seem to find a lot of joy in making me crazy these days. :)

I didn't know how else to get a hold of you while I was in utah, you don't seem to be in the phone book...I left a comment with my phone number in it, so I deleted it. Maybe next year I will take care of those little details before I get in town. oh and masking tape works just as well in my opinioin, and cheaper too.
