Twins

Robin and Miriam are quite the pair these days. Of course they love to fight over the ONE toy they ABSOLUTELY have to play with (which just so happens to be in the other's hands), but generally they enjoy being together. They are simply hilarious with some of the games they play. The other day, Miriam explained that they had turned a little cart into a "flatboat" that was "going down the Mississippi River, just like Abe Lincoln." They filled the cart up and promptly sent it sailing down the staircase. Our neighbors appreciated hearing that at 7:15am...

See no evil...
