Our Little Devils

We have recently found out that 2 year old twin boys are actually little devils!!! They collaborate together and try to see how far they can push mommy or daddy before getting in trouble. It's a lot different than just one 2 year old, because they feed off each other and are in competition with each other on who can push our buttons the most!! Our peaceful, easy bedtime routine (which has ALWAYS been easy) has turned into a NIGHTMARE!! Now, they keep getting out of their beds and taking all their pillows, blankets, bed sheets and stuffed animals down on the floor behind their bedroom door and then lay down there and kick the back of the door - because it makes noise. No matter how many times we go in there and put them back into their beds and tell them to stay in their beds, they keep doing it! They also like to keep turning their bedroom lights on, open the door and come out of their room! This has turned into 2 hours of battling with them and then really, tired boys the following day. We have now put duck tape on their light switch, so they can't turn it on and put a child doorknob lock on the inside of their door, so they can't open the door anymore. We have officially locked them inside their room!! Once we did this, they are now usually asleep within 30 minutes of going to bed - but they still end of sleeping on the floor behind their door! We don't care where they sleep, as long as they GO to sleep at a decent time.

Besides bedtime, these two little devils find many other ways to push our buttons, but that will have to wait until another day. Here are some pictures of our "little devils." :)
