Melissa in Australia Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 worked on Monday and came home to hear form everyone how bad the twins were. Turns out it was not really the twins falt.- Ds11 gave one of them a glass jar to carry back to the house for him. Of course they dropped it on the pavers. Apparently there were shards of glass everywhere, so DH put the twins up on the veranda while DS11 and he cleaned up. DD15 had just completed a masterpiece painting and had left it out on the veranda to dry..... What di the twins do... they thought they would embellish it by tipping water all over it. Twins were then banished to various parts of the house while DS11 and DH cleaned the pavers of glass shards and DD15 cleaned the veranda of paint. I came home to the cleanest pavers ever and a beautiful clean veranda. and two very sad twins. I had a friendly chat to the whole family that if I was to leave a plate of lollies ( candy) on the table, then I shouldn't be surprised if everyone ate them. neither should anyone be surprised if things are left too low that the twins would get into them.... that night, while tidying the kitchen, I noticed that the ants were stating to get into the big plate of Prune plums that were on the bench. I shifted them onto the table. Early in the morning ( at 5:30 it is pretty darkish) I got twins dressed and went milking the cow. DH came out of the bedroom to find in front of twin one a mountain of plum pits and in front of twin two a pile of uneaten and a pile of eaten plums.....if you leave a dish of lollies down low don't be surprised if they get eaten.. one thing for sure they are nicely cleaned out now ( not that there was any problem) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
