More twin trouble

Erick is driving me CRAZY!He is getting into so much trouble. The other day I had all the kids down stairs and I ran upstairs to put some laundry away and I heard Hazel start freaking out. At first I thought Erick had turned off her movie again but then I realized she was really really upset about something. I came running down and she had tears in her eyes and was completely freaking out. She couldn't even get a sentence out but I could see she was fine. She pointed to the entertainment center and then I realized I could hear Erick BEHIND IT! He had somehow crawled behind it on the side against the wall (if you look at the picture of Erick turning off the DVD player two posts down you can see it is a tight squeese). I was trying to stay calm for Hazel but I didn't know how I was going to get him out. He was just around the corner so I tried to pull him out but he didn't want to come. I started to think I was going to have to go to the neighbors and see if he could come move the entertainment center so I could get him. Luckily Erick got mad at me and sat back to yell at me which put him just in reach so I grabbed him before he could move. Then I had to calm Hazel down and told her what a good big sister she had been. I was happy about how upset she was that her little brother was in trouble. She really loves them.
Then that night I had Erick in the bath tub and I heard a crash in the play room so I glanced in there and realized I had left Erick's towel in there so I ran in to grab it. I was gone for like a second and came back to Erick trying to climb out of the tub. He was hanging on the edge with his feet and naked little butt in the air. Scared me to death. I grabbed him before he could fall. Then I was kicking myself because I know better than to leave a baby in the tub alone. Anyways I put Erick to bed after that because I couldn't handle another disaster that day.

Sounds like Mere-they just like trying new things and don't forsee consequences. Mere got her leg stuck in the shopping cart at walmart this week and I couldn't get it out and had to go ask some employee for help, people tried and couldn't get it (sawing, crowbar) they were about to call the fire department until another worker tried the crowbar and got it loose. They tied a little ice pack to her leg and she's been fine, but my oh my...

She's always climbing the couch and onto the window sill too. Kiwi birds live in New Zealand and Saki's friends tease him about the blog because New Zealanders are called "Kiwi's" :) I can't wait till Mere can cook with me-nice cupcakes Hazel!
