Kostas and I enjoyed a rare dinner out tonight, to which we were 10 minutes late because the blonde abducted my shoes.
It's a little frightening that she does better in heels at 2 than I did at 16.
Shockingly, our downstairs neighbors did not call the noise police on us.
Lest you believe otherwise, rest assured Eleni and Zoe have continued to do silly, ridiculous, funny adorable things these past couple of months.
The lack of documentation of said activities is the result of their mother's crazy schedule and is, regardless, unforgivable.
That said, she will begin backfilling as soon as possible.
Fortunately, her neglect has not been in recording said activities, simply in blogging about it.
More to come shortly, starting where we left off.
Apologies in particular to Lida, Aron and Jen.
A good poker face is an essential twin skill if you want to stay out of trouble. Even more so if you want the blame to go to your sister.
Here you see Eleni's & Zoe's response to the question "Who dragged all these toys into the bathroom?"
And the responses:
Zoe: "Pardon me, did you say something? I was so busy being an innocent bystander I didn't hear you."
Eleni: "Bru-ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaa"
Oh, Eleni, you've clearly got some work ahead of you in this department
Ah, the digital age.
Eleni sends an urgent message on her blackberry while Zoe checks in with "Kosta."
Subtitle: "Hi Kosta, How are you, it's mommy."
Eleni & Zoe celebrated the birth of their cousin by playing with some skinny balloons in the hospital lobby (since we didn't think quick enough to say they were her sisters and not her cousins.)
Also in the lobby was a nice lady making balloon animals for her daughter, who was kind enough to share generously with the girls.
Note the slightly different interpretation of "sharing" between the girls themselves, which somewhat typifies the Darwinian relationship of smaller and larger twin. Note, also, the rather jaunty, self-satisifed stride of a certain blonde who just happens to hold the larger collection.
Note also the fact that the smaller twin, as usual, makes lemonade from her lemon.
Zoe's punctuated rendition of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star simply captures my heart.
It may just be a mommy thing.
Note that Eleni gives her performance "One foot up."
Maternal instincts
Lately, Eleni has been showing off her maternal instincts, and more often than not can be seen carrying around her baby doll, or two little stuffed dogs (aka doggy and puppy).
Here, she's rocking the twins to sleep and singing a little song. Cute stuff.
I'm a sucker for arts and crafts, but haven't been able to do much in recent years.
