Chicken Coop

What does a mom of mobile twins do when she needs to get something done?

She builds a chicken coop on her bed. 
I ended up putting more pillows on top of the gray ones, but it worked quite nicely. The girls played for over an hour with very little problems! There were a few times when things like this would happen

and after a few moments of laughter from the girls, the screams were unleashed. Don't worry though, I've collected quite a bag of tricks over my 9 months of being a mother. My trick this time? Chicken feed (aka Cheerios). Using food to change the mood of the babies works like a charm. I guess I'll eventually have to discipline them, but for now, a few Cheerios or a chunk of fruit suits them just fine, 
And yes, this was the same day as the last post. I strangely only took a handful of pictures yesterday and none of them turned out very well. So this is what you guys are getting. Still pretty cute, if I do say so myself.

On a non baby note, do you guys listen to Adele? I didn't just recently discover her, but I've been listening to her like crazy lately. Her voice, lyrics and music are amazing. If you're living under a rock (which don't worry, I fully admit that I am) listen to her. You will be blown away.

This one's my favorite
Absolutely beautiful.

Thumbs up for the chickens?
Thanks.
