My mid-day meltdown

Ok, I really need some advice. Nap time at our house has turned into a 3 ring circus! We have had the infamous "naked nap" where they both strip down completely before they fall asleep (I chose not to post pictures). The "destructive nap" where they completely tear their beds apart, empty the drawers in the dresser and pull everything they can reach off the walls. And recently there is no nap at all because I spend 2 hours getting Aidan out of Olivia's bed because even if she stays in and falls asleep he climbs in and messes with her and wakes her up. Their beds have turned into jungle gyms and apparatuses to help them climb higher and reach more. It is such a frustration because they are still tired, but I am done with the daily fight. I've tried keeping Aidan up and letting Livy sleep, but he can't stand being without her and always sneaks in and wakes her up. There is such a difference between 1 toddler and 2 because they play off of each other. This is so different than Kelsee. She was in her crib until 3 and a half and never even tried to climb out. She still never gets out of bed. She calls for us if she needs something. She took a nap until she was 4. Do I get rid of the cribs and get big beds? I am just afraid they will get out all night long as well if I do that. Do I give up even trying to do naps as well? I feel like I have no patience these days.
My days are shot if I lose nap time. Aidan is such a climber. He can get into any cupboard at any height. He can get on top of the washer and dryer. He climbs his closet shelves. He has an attraction to knifes and scissors and has cut himself several times. They finger paint with anything they can find (lotion, A&D ointment...my favorite, it doesn't come off, and countless other things).
I love this age. They say the funniest things. They make me laugh all day long. They love to play and try new things and are amazed by everything, but my house is a constant disaster and I truly can't ever leave them alone right now. Nap time was my break. Any suggestions?

This is the result of no nap

Makin' me smile

Aidan is so into shapes right now. He learned them at right about 2 years old along with his colors, which actually makes things more complicated because he has such an opinion on what he wants and he is able to express it. Friday we were outside and he was standing on the sidewalk that had a wierd corner piece and wouldn't move. I went back to get him and he said "Wow, this is a triangle on the ground." Then yesterday he wore a pair of shoes to church he wasn't happy about, but I talked him into it. When we got home he was limping and saying his foot hurt. I took off his sock and shoe and there was a huge blister on the back of his heel. He looked down at it and said, "Livy, look at my circle owie". It is so cute to see him realize that there are shapes all around us. I took me a while to figure out where he was learning all this, but I have to admit Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is my babysitter in the morning while I run on the treadmill and it finally dawned on me that is where he was learning it. I don't feel so bad about it anymore.

Ready, set, it's back to school again

It's the start of another school year and I love that Kelsee is still so excited to go. She loves school. I think mostly for the social aspect of it though. She is in 4th grade, loves her teacher, and has so many fun friends. It is still pretty hot here which makes it nice for the kids because they love to ride their bikes to school. I load the babies up in the bike trailer every morning and usually have a couple neighbor kids in tow as well. The afternoon is spent doing homework, going to cheer practice, reading tutor and activity days. I don't know how we will manage when the babies start getting involved in things.
