Brothers

Carter and Carson couldn't be much different from each other than they are. They have polar opposite interests, friends (I could walk into their classrooms and tell you just by looking at the kids who they will be friends with!), habits, etc. As I was cleaning tonight I remembered this event and wanted to write it down for later memories. About 3 years ago when we were living in Casper, Cars (5) was sent to his room for time out. A little later as I am walking by his room I hear some commotion and try to go in. The door is being held by someone and then I immediately hear, "Hurry, mom is here!" from Caden. I am pushing my way in at this point and Carter is hanging out the window helping Carson climb in. I blew up and asked what in the world they were doing. They all just look at me like oh crap, what do we say. Then Carter tells me that Cars told them they had to be his watchmen so he could climb out the window and play during his timeout. Some how, they agreed. And come to find out, this wasn't the first time. They had "done" this more than once.  On one hand, I was quite proud of the loyalty (we'll call it that, not stupidity for letting your twin brother rope you into this!) between the boys. But even more than that I had a flashforward to teenage years. I want them to be close, but I also need them to fear me more than each other. I think there is no doubt who they fear more. It's not me! Holy teenage years, stay away. I am no where near ready for you!!
