they are good at picking small things like sequins off the floor.

Oh yes, and the tops of their heads smell nice too.

This reminds me of something DD1 4.7 yo said recently:
"You had children cos you thought it would be fun. But Oh No, we're menaces."

Enough of the kids or each other, or a combination of both?

They're quite little, yours, aren't they. Hang on in there. When my two were, say, three and one I found it incredibly hard going. (I compared it once on MN to swimming uphill through custard.) They're much, much easier now.

Mind you I had DD1 because I was convinced I had an incredibly regular cycle and should Trust My Body .
