My two middles are only 19 months apart from each other in age. Let's just say that supreme powers above were at work here, because having two children so close together was not my idea! But God certainly does have a sense of humor, and many times I think He has a lot of fun laughing at me.
Superhero is the older one at five years and, I might add, the combustion behind the engine. His little sister, Princess is right behind him in age, height and ability for destruction.
I call them my middles, but many times I think of them as the trouble makers. Now, I'm not saying that my other two don't get into hot water, but these two must have contests on who can make the most messes.
Take yesterday for example: I am sweeping the floor after an adventurous lunch. Next thing I know, I hear the two middles exclaim (in a whisper) "here she comes!" This is my clue to start sweating.
I went into the family room and lo, and behold, they have just dumped out an entire bottle of glitter. Well, I'm cleaning that up and I go back into the kitchen and the floor is messy again! And they haven't eaten anything!!!
How does this happen?
Well, I have figured out that there are secret gnomes that follow Superhero and Princess around the house knocking things over and generally making a mess. that's the only logical explanation to the constant state of general mayhem and disorder.
As I sit here and type, I have sent my oldest upstairs to spy on the middles because we both hear crashing (as if they are jumping off of furniture).
*sigh*
Next paycheck we are buying window bars too.
