Mariah Carey Cuddles up with Her Three-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan

The trio plays with a plastic umbrella as they sit by the rain-splattered window in an Instagram image captioned, 'Getting through the storm!'

The 44-year-old recording artist flashes a perky smile, with her head tilted at an angle.

Monroe is seated in her mother’s lap, holding one end of an umbrella as her brother grabs onto the other while seated on the window ledge.

Mariah appears to be wearing a full face of make-up and a pale pink cover-up.

Despite being every inch the doting mother, Mariah didn't always want children according to The Huffington Post, and only changed her mind later in life.

Mariah’s husband Nick Cannon, 33, recently sang his wife’s praises, telling the publicationt: ‘It's kind of cool I got a chance to bring that side out of my wife, because she's so nurturing and amazing.

‘Not only does she get to be the biggest global singer in the world, but she also gets to be a wonderful mom.'
