Yeah, you're looking at child labor...

I know what you are thinking...I'm so mean!
but you first have to hear the whole story.
The twins are always keeping me on my toes, Having two 2 years olds, you never have a dull moment to think, clean, or just catch up. Well, today was nothing out of the norm.
I was on the phone for a bit and there is something about being on the phone, when kids think because mom is "busy" that all Hell can break loose. The kids could be playing just fine upstairs, not knowing that I even exist, the minute I pick up the phone, it begins...(sorry, I got on my soapbox again.)
Look closely...see that orange stain, it is all over my carpet.

The twins got into the pantry, found the EZ cheese handysnack and was popping the cantainers; causing cheese to get all over, then dipping prettzles into it.
OH MY GOSH!!! (That is the clean version of what was said.) Needless to say, the phone called ended and I was in shocked with tears begining to swell up in my eyes.

So I guess now is better then never to teach the lesson of Tough Love.

Look at Carson's face: Notice how sorry he is. I made the twins scrub the carpets over and over. The whole time they were saying "sorwee mama."

Next: vacumm up the rest.
Notice Carson, his vacumm isn't even attched to the "real" vacumm. I wanted him to "think" that he was cleanning up the mess.

You can see by the time we finshed they were smiling and actually happy to help me.
And I did go back after they weren't around, you better believe and do my clean-up to the spots, but I didn't want to undo what I was trying to Teach them.

Also you are most likely thinking, why did you think to grab the camera during this time of insanity...PROOF!

Pictures don't lie and one day I want to show the twins why I greyed so quickly.

Kids: Gotta love them! Right?!?!?
