Mayhem, Inc.

Look at these faces! They are dripping with sugar and spice and everything nice. Or so, you tell me.
Don't get me wrong. They are DE-LITE-FULL!
But they also are filled with snakes and snails and puppy dog tails. Everyone says wait until you have boys, but I am pretty sure these little girls are filled to the brim with boy mischief.

Case in point: Today I walk into Alice and Scarlet playing doctor using an old, as in USED, pregnancy test as a tongue depressor. (Yes, I saved the pregnancy tests for these two rugrats. And, YES, that means I had peed on it.)
But, my favorite part of the mayhem these two inflict on a daily basis is their conspirator giggle. I know right away that they are up to something naughty if I hear Scarlet giggling from across the room. Then, as I walk up, they run away laughing like hyenas let free from the zoo.

But then, isn't them working together for my unraveling really what being a sister is all about?And pretending I am mad is really what being a mother is all about.

Die! That is hilarious! I'm sure the pee evaporated or something. If they're half Nate, I'm sure they're getting into mischief all the time! Hahaha. But yeah, they're too cute to really get mad at I bet :)

I love this post too. Can't wait to get them in bigger trouble soon.

By the way, I'm pretty sure these two are a mini Mel & Stef. We did our fair share of mischief. It's a wonder Mom still hugs us.

Thanks for the post Stef. I haven't laughed so hard since my boys were into this much trouble. Gotta love 'em!

HAHAHAHA! Thanks everyone!

You're totally right Mel...these two TOTALLY remind me of ourselves as kids. I guess it is a bit of Karma biting me in the bum-bum.
