Dutch Lock Down Day Nine

Dutch Lock Down Day Two
The partner went out for a cup of sugar. Three hours ago. May never see him again. Girl twin has thrown a coup against her older brother and now rules the house under her tiny thumb with Barbapapa playing #AllTheTime and #AbsolutelyNoBroccoli MAMA. Boy twin refuses to NOT splash in the tub no matter how…
