Jake and his twin sister will be taking drivers training this summer which makes me want to pull my own hair out piece by piece just thinking of all the worry that will be coming my way when they actually start driving on their own in the near future.

Don't say I did not warn you all about my crazy twins taking to the roads.  lol

I am very curious to see how having more freedom to roam will turn out between Jake and his twin sister, I think I have always wondered about the days of them becoming adults and if they will remain as close as they have through these early childhood days.  I am betting that even with the ability to have more space from each other, they will each choose to stay close to one another, that is my hope at least.

I will keep you all informed about the funny adventures that come from twins going through drivers training.

Speaking of, what is your funniest memory of drivers training? 

Remarkable Revelation

Jake has always been one for getting along with other kids and makes new friends easily with his outgoing personality, so you can imagine the surprise I had when the principal called to say Jake had literally pounced on a boy while out on the playground in 1^st grade.
After a lengthy talk with the principal about the investigation he had done into the event, I was very surprised to hear that Jake’s twin sister provoked Jake to tackle this poor boy on the playground.
She in fact liked this little boy and because kids have such a weird way of showing it, she set a series of events into motion just to get his attention.
1. She told Jake that this boy (pointing him out) on the playground was being mean to her and to watch out for her while she played.
2. She casually marched straight across the playground to the boy and told him that it would be fun to have a pushing contest and that he should go first by pushing her.
3. She laughed her little butt off when Jake tore through the playground and tackled this boy to the ground.
4. She sat in disbelief when the three of them had their very first visit ever to the principal’s office and she feared the inevitable punishment that was coming to her when the truth came out.
Jake and this boy went on to be very good friends and the principal used the opportunity to explain to Jake’s twin sister that she has a pretty big responsibility as a good sister not to provoke her brother to defend her.

Jake learned that day that things are not always as they appear and that sometimes sisters have horns.

Naughty & Nice

If there is one thing Jake knows, it is that his three sisters will always be there for him.  They may be naughty and cause him a lot of grief, injuries (thanks twin sis) and much humor at his expense but they can also be nice, loving and very supportive when a boy needs a friend.
He may wonder what life would be like not having them around (much quieter) or ponder the thought of a life with a brother, there is no way he would trade his life of having 3 crazy sisters.

Mom (me) loves to tell Jake, "just think someday when you are married and have a woman telling you what to do, it won't be anything you are not used to!" 
Jake usually laughs and adds "then I can have a bunch of daughters, that would be just my luck."

Monopoly Man

Jake loves to play the game Monopoly! 
He likes to play with me (mom) and his little sister also known as "the traitor" because she always sells me out and makes trades with Jake that end up killing me by the end of the game.
This picture is what the typical game looks like in the end, it is no wonder I TRY to stay in jail so I can hide from having to pay all that high rent to him!

The trade off for 'lil sis is, he lets HER out of paying him rent when she lands on his properties...as for me his own MOTHER, the one that gave birth to him, he takes every single last dollar!

I guess I should just be happy I taught them to work together but I really did not mean for that to be against ME! lol
