Was this girl a Flower Child in a past life?? 

Sissy!

Just a random post of my cute, big girls. 

Despite the common spats, they love each other so so much it just melts my heart.  I hope they remain best friends always, just as my sissy and I have.  [Love you, Aunt NeeNee!]

Table Talk

Sitting with the girls while they eat dinner is usually the only time I get to talk with them (during the week, that is).  That's the time where I can ask them about their day, see what new songs they learned at school, practice our counting and colors, tell them about our weekend plans, etc. 

Here's a short video from last night's dinner conversation:

Birthday Party & Great Papa Bob's House

We attended our friend, Teagan's 1st Birthday Party this past weekend.  It was so much fun! 

Here's the Birthday Girl in her new tutu. 

 

Afterwards, we stopped by Great Papa Bob's house for dinner and live musical entertainment! 



He taught the girls how to play the organ. 

[And Caroline taught herself how to tie shoes.]

...and the accordian.  The girls were just in awe!



Here are a few videos:

Terrible Two's

Yep.  We are definitely in the midst of the infamous Terrible Two's. 

The whining, bickering, hitting, biting, "MINE" phase is upon us.  I am CONSTANTLY referree-ing them.  It feels like the only words in my vocabulary these days at home are "NO, girls!" or "Stop that!" or "Don't hit your sister!"

Ugh.  Lord, give me patience. 

Last night I walked into their room and saw them actually sitting next to each other reading a book quietly.  Without fighting.  "These can't be MY children??!!", I thought to myself.  I was so taken aback that I ran to get my camera to document the evidence...  Hmph.  Yah, that was short-lived. 

And this is an extremely NICE altercation. 

Characters

Boy oh boy, are these girls some characters.

**disclaimer: Livi was ok.  I keep telling her to SIT DOWN on her chair! 
She'll learn one of these days. 

Sweet Sisters

It's not often that these girls actually play nicely together.  Sad, but we're just at that stage where EVERYTHING is "MINE", which leaves me to referee them at all times. 

So you can imagine how sweet it was to catch these few moments (emphasis on the word, "few"):
