New skills

Last night I had the pleasure of sitting for two seven year old twin boys.

The highlight of the night had to be:

Twin 1: "Hey Kate, want to know how to get up off the floor with no arms?"

Me: Of course!

Twin 1 stuffs his arms into his pajama shirt and flops onto the floor

Twin 1: First you put your leg like this (demonstrates), then you move your other leg like this, and then you just get up like this (successfully pulls himself off the floor with...you guessed it no arms).

Me: Wow, who taught you that?

Twin 1 beaming with pride: I taught it to myself!

Other highlights included:

A rousing game of Twister

Hot Lava (jumping from blue foam square to blue foam square)

And a secret mission which ended with them getting (happily!) into their beds and going to sleep.

Success!
