[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 603060, member: 3907"] IC -- you've got that right. They are fun. They are adorable. They are uncivilized little barbarians with a talent for mayhem. Tiredmommy -- strangely enough, they usually do engage in difficult child-ness one at a time. Tyrantina's mood swings alternate with Tyrannosaur's aspie meltdowns. Hound -- yes, twins can get into far more trouble together than any 3 or 4 children could alone. easy child also had holy terror tendencies as a small tot (he still does, for that matter). However, there was only one of him, so he was much easier to rein in. Okay. The ceiling story. My first mistake was to tell them "Go and play quietly." They were quiet alright. So quiet I didn't realize anything was amiss until I stepped into the upstairs hallway into an inch-high puddle of water. All over the hardwood. (Coated, thankfully, or they would have ruined that as well). Turns out they had taken out the bin liner from the garbage bin in the upstairs bathroom, filled it with water and then upended it. Some of the water cascaded under the door out to the hallway. Some flowed through the duct work and made lovely puddles all over the basement. The rest appears to have seeped behind the baseboards and behind the drywall to the powder room below. The ceiling bowed and finally collapsed in the area where the water leaked through. It also took out the drywall all around the door casing. They also painted the hallway walls with toothpaste and attempted to use the shop vac to clean up the evidence, getting it covered with toothpaste in the process. Just when I got used to not locking all the doors and wearing a bunch of keys on a lanyard round my neck, too. Here we go again... [/QUOTE]
