Double Trouble

So for almost 3 years now when people find out I have twins they always say "how do you do it?...or you have your hands full...or I can't imagine how hard it is"...Guess what your right!! And the following pictures are just a little taste of the "double trouble" twins can get into!!!
Lately they have been trying to cut out their nap...I am sooooo not ready for this and they aren't either! They still need a short nap and so I still put them in their room for "quiet time." With two almost 3 year olds there is not much "quiet time!!"
The other day I needed to get a few art projects done so I was outside sanding and cloroxing and the baby monitor died...Wesley was inside working so I wasn't worried about them. And 10 minutes later he told me I needed to come inside. I turned the corner to see two half dressed soaking wet children!!!!
Apparently they thought it was a good idea to stuff a roll of toilet paper in the sink and turn the water on high!! Once the sink was full the toilet paper started coming off in clumps and those clumps then covered the walls, mirror, floor, cabinets etc...(kinda reminded me of those spit balls from high school!!) The entire bathroom was flooded and the floor had standing water and about a foot and a half of the carpet in their room was wet as well!! What a mess!!! 2 little minds can get into a lot of trouble!! DOUBLE TROUBLE!! These are a couple of pictures I took...
Picture one...lots of standing water and water dripping off of the counter into the drawers and cabinets...LOVELY!!

Now you can see little bits of and clumps of toilet paper EVERYWHERE!

It took about 45 minutes to clean up and we are still finding little bits of toilet paper dried up in odd places in the bathroom!!

And 2 days later during "nap/quiet time" my two little curious georges decided it would be fun to coat the lower half of their bodies in Boudreaux's Butt paste! Mahlon was Sara Beth started screaming that she needed to go potty and due to the previous incident the bathroom was locked! So I took of running to get her to the potty and walked in to see the mess!!! They were covered...especially Mahlon...and the brown rocker that he was sitting in! What a mess and what a STRONG smell!! Their nice church clothes that they were wearing now have oil stains on them!! I steamed the rocker, but it didn't help much...at least it is dark!!
These incidents happened 2 days apart and I thought for sure if things kept going in this direction I would either be bald or end up at Whitfield!!
I now have a video monitor a friend is letting me use so now I can spy on them! Thankfully they haven't gotten into anything else...knock on wood!!

I must admit I had to laugh at the double trouble. I hope you were able to get something to get the butt paste out of their clothes.
