Twins Siblings and other Mayhem

So this morning....... P & S were at it again.... they are typical siblings one second they are fighting over the same toy and yet in the next breath one or the other is patting or hugging the other. P was very distraught this morning after getting dressed, he didn't want to wear pants today...go figure.....so he is crying and laying on the floor and S comes up to him and starts to tickle him and she is giggling up a storm trying her hardest to make him laugh hovering over him gleefully cheerful and actually tickling him it was the cutest thing ever to watch. I couldn't help but smile and their team spirit.

yet not 5 minutes later we walk out to the front of the house and I am doing laundry in the laundry room and they are pulling and shoving at each other to get a toy out of the toy box screaming carrying on like some horrific scene from Jerry springer.....so I split them up and sorted them out......

I am now in the living room and a temporary truce had been reached.......

but then from the Laundry room I hear the sordid tale unfolding again... so I call out gently to both of them to report to mom front and center ....... P   the family comedian comes out of the laundry room with a huge smile on his face acting all sweet and innocent laughing and moving on to a new toy with a quick hug on my leg....... Now meanwhile my Mom is in the kitchen laughing away.... ( the kitchen has a view into the laundry room)

What really happened.... MR. P heard me call gave one more good yank on his sister's sweater and then headed out of the laundry room with the smile....... of course my Mom witnessed the whole scene I had only seen the seemingly angelic one stepping out smiling...... 2 days away from 17 months..... and he already has the "let's fool Mom" gene intact

then S fell and bummed her head and P was right there hugging on her about 10 minutes later. crazy stuff ! speaking of which the house is eerily calm suddenly which means the dynamic duo has joined forces to thwart my best cleaning efforts I have to run......quickly......
