We finally broke down and got a super play yard to help keep the kids under control. I really don't mind them crawling all around the house but there are times when I need to keep one or both in one place for a moment...like diaper changes. Timo can get into trouble really fast while my hands are tied with Cameron. And it comes apart and doubles as baby gates when we're not using it as a play pin. We can finally block off the fireplace, lower book shelves and doorways. Whew!
The kids were super fascinated by the structure at first. It was hard to set it up without them nipping at my heels. But after about 30mins they were tired of being locked up and were trying to get out. Cameron especially. Now she wants out within 5mins of being in there...but I think it's a separation thing for her.

Sara - we have the gates called "Playzone" and they have toys on the inside. My kids love them and don't realize they're being pined in. You may take a look on Craigslist or email your multiples group. I bought mine used and they work great. We have a bunch of them for the garage playroom.

Thanks Emily, those are the ones we wanted but can't find any on craigslist in SF...most are in San Jose or east bay. But we'll still be on the lookout since you so highly recommend them!
