...I will have to check on the boys every 2.5 minutes or so - making conversation difficult. Otherwise they will be trying to flush a roll of paper towels down the toilet - or worse, the sink.
...There will probably be an impromptu dance party. Be prepared to be astonished by Monkey's innate sense of rhythm.
...My table probably won't be cleared off from breakfast.
...Please take off your shoes at the door.
...Know that there are baby door locks on half of the doors in the house.
...There will probably be at least one potty trip, accident, or really smelly diaper while you're here. I apologize in advance.
...Help me remember that the orange and red cups are Thomas', and the blue and green cups are Monkey's (they leave them all over the house, so we needed a system!).
...Thomas will want to sing the ABC song with you - several times.
...It will be impossible to get any decent photos of the kids.
...Lunch will be served at precisely 11:30.
...Princess will talk the entire time.
...Monkey will ask for a pacifier, even though he already has one.
...Star Wars will be discussed, read about and/or acted out.
...Many rocket ship and race car noises will be heard.
...Please don't notice that my windows need to be cleaned.
...Feel free to borrow a book or two - you'll find some in every room.
...We'll probably watch Max & Ruby or Thomas the Tank Engine at some point.
...On your way to the bathroom feel free to step over the clean laundry that the boys have thrown from the shelves.
...At least one Calvin & Hobbes book will be on the table.
...Thomas will ask you to play legos or race cars. "I be this one, you be this one." Don't think you can get out of it.
What's it like at your house?
