The Sunday that everything fell apart

So is there like some cardinal rule of parenting - or at least twin parenting - that just when you think you've got control of something, everything falls apart?

Did I say something about potty training going "better than expected?" Did I dare to think that we have had some decent nights of sleep over the past couple weeks? Well, I must have been tempting fate. Our Sunday looked like this:

-Ilana's night wakenings are back. The morning at our house started at 4:34 a.m.

-After several unsuccessful potty attempts at home and Starbucks, Ilana ended up pooping in her pants, at the park.

-Then she went down the slide.

-After the park, Orli completely melted down at a family brunch. By melted down, I mean screaming and crying "HOME, HOME, HOME" until we left.

-Once home, the girls refused to nap.

-After an over an hour of crying, Ilana ended up clocking in one hour and Orli had zero nap.

-Outside of our friends' place in the city, Ilana pooped in her pants for a second time.

-We only had 2 wipes left.

-Just before we got into the car, Orli spilled orange juice all over herself and Darin.

-Once home, Orli pooped in her pants.

I think that about covers it. Oh, and our new pool had a hole in it so Darin had to get a new one.
