It’s been a while since I’ve done a Twin Tuesday post, but there have been quite a few twin stories in the news over the past week, I’d like to share them with you…

• “Having twins in your class – and not being able to tell one from the other – is a teacher’s nightmare, so imagine how confused staff were when five sets turned up at the start of the new school year.” Read more on the Daily Mail website.

I’ve not participated in Working Mommy Wednesday for several weeks, as I took a wee break from blogging and blog hopping to concentrate on  my final exams at university.  Now that my studying is out the way, I’m delighted to be back, taking part in one of my favourite blog memes.

I had a very busy, eventful, enjoyable and emotional weekend! On Saturday 3rd July, my sister, Elaine, got married to her lovely partner, Andy. I was very chuffed to be Chief Bridesmaid and my beautiful daughters were delighted to be flower girls.

Here’s a photo of Elaine with Dad and Andy, outside the church.

This week’s Twin Tuesday QOTW is:

Have you taken your twins on a road trip, yet? And, if so, any tips/tricks for making the ride smoother?

Shortly after our girls turned one, Hubby and I took them away on holiday to Wales for a week.  We stayed in a caravan site, just outside Prestatyn in North Wales.  The girls were so well behaved during the journey (which I think took us about 5 hours with a few stops).

We made sure the girls had a selection of toys to play with in the car and, thankfully they actually slept for much of the journey.

Four years on, and we went on a family holiday to Florida last summer.  Our trip involved flying to London Gatwick in the first instance, and then a long haul flight to Orlando.  The girls were patient, relaxed and well behaved throughout the journey.  They had little backpacks with story books, colouring books, puzzle books and a couple of dolls and fave soft toys, as well as some snacks.

On Twitter @TwinParenthood also posed a twin-related question today:

Twin Parents: Are tantrums worse with twins? What age is the peak? Tips to cope?

Well, I am very lucky that I’ve never had much of a tantrum problem with my daughters .  Don’t get me wrong, they have had their moments, but they’ve been rare.

When they were toddlers, we used the “Naughty Step” as a way of tackling tantrums and bad behaviour.  It was mostly used after a spat between the girls.  They often used to fight over toys! 

I have never really had to deal with a double-whammy tantrum in the supermarket or shopping centre.  There was the odd ‘wobble’ with them fighting for space in the cramped supermarket trolley seats, but that was all really!

They’re now almost six years old, and I couldn’t tell you the last time we needed to use the “Naughty Step”.  They play well together most of the time now and, though there may be the occasional wee niggle, they rarely come to blows.

I am very lucky that I can take my girls anywhere with me and know that they will behave.  I often take them to the hairdressers, beauty salon or opticians with me, and they wait patiently for me in the waiting areas, reading, drawing or playing their DSi.
