Siblings in Three Acts

Act One:  The girls share a room, and their beds are about 4 feet apart most days.  But lately I've been finding their beds like this in the morning:

 
They say they just like to be close together at night.  It is very sweet.
 
 
Act Two:  Porter wakes up first on Wednesday morning.  He's sitting at the counter drinking juice.  Molly wakes up, very happy.  She dances down the stairs with a big smile on her face, singing hello at everyone.  She walks by Porter, and he socks in her in the stomach.  Lays her out on the floor.  Just why?
 
 
Act Three:  Today Porter made a recording on the iPad of him and Molly fighting and Molly throwing a loud tantrum.  It is very realistic.  They turn it up loud, and leave the iPad hidden somewhere behind me.  Then I start getting mad at everyone about knocking it the hell off, and I hear them dying of the giggles together in the next room.  It has worked twice already.  Annoying.  And also cute.
 
 
Scene.

    1. My grandmother made that quilt for my wedding! I know, I love it. Every little square is different, and a lot of them are scraps from dresses she made us as kids. My sister made Cedar's. There are a lot of quilters in my family, maybe some day I will get my act together!

  3. Remember the fake bloody noses? Our kids will punish us for having been us it seems.

  4. Trials and tears with siblings, that is so incredibly cute that the girls move their beds close together at night. Maybe an L shape configuration so their heads can be close together and allowing more floor space? I know the blue dress was totally impractical, but I knew that my 4 yr old self would have loved to have a real princess dress. Are you getting Molly the American Girl, Molly, for her birthday? Hope you were able to put the Amazon card to to good use.
