The Reality of Taking Photos of Sisters

Sisters..

they are fickle little things!

I'm sure the same thing goes for brothers...

but based off of my experience,

I'm focusing on the little ladies in this post.

One minute they love each other... singing Jesus songs and doing ballerina twirls.

The next minute they are ready to body slam each other

with a very high pitch warrior scream.

I'm scared. for myself and the one getting attacked.

Taking them out in public is always fun and exciting...

(Sophie: 4 Sienna: 2... birthdays in august)

Because of my little ones fickle attitudes about each other during this period of their life..

Photos are a bit tricky to get the first time around.

And because I get lots of comments on Instagram and Facebook

implying how much my girls love each other and how good they are...

I thought it was time to put this out there for the world to see.

They are stinkers. cute-adorable-love each other-then heaven

forbid you take their purple crayon-arm pincher-stinkers.

Pretty sure they aren't the first of their kind.

I'm so glad they have each other though...

Because they are helping each other learn to love more!

learning to share and be patient... learning to roll into a ball for protection.

jk. on that last one but I'm sure that'll came later.

The day I took these photos at target I laughed out loud as I looked through my photo feed.

A delirious, how am I going to ever survive, laugh.

It seriously sums it up right now.

I wasn't laughing DURING this moment...I wanted to pull my hair out because they were acting like I was torturing them making them eat an icee.

As moms, we know you have to take a few MILLION photos to get a good one.

And even though I probably won't frame all the bad ones...

I love my little stinkers. even when they drive me bonkers.

Having 2 and 4 yr old girls.

The other day, as I watched my girls driving

around in their little jeep in the backyard...

I pictured them little again.

I'm so glad my girls have each other. They will be 3 and 5 in August.

The fighting over toys and "don't look at me!! mommmm she's looking at mee" moments

are worth the cute ways they play together and giggle.

They make each other pee their pants from laughing.... seriously.

we've had to do complete wardrobe changes.....

Sophie and Sienna share a room..

and even though there are nights many nights we

wish they would just goo tooooo beddd...

It's cute hearing them giggle and whisper.

When sienna first moved from the crib, to a big girl bed in sophie's room...

She kept waking up in the middle of the night and coming to our room.

Or sometimes she would just cry out from her bed for a minute.

One morning sophie told us sienna woke up but that she got her back to sleep by rubbing her back. Once sophie held sienna on the couch and got her to fall asleep...... Tonight at dinner sienna got down and moved her chair closer to sophie's. they are so cute together. They also know how to push each other's buttons.

sienna is a hair puller/leg pincher..and sophie is a pusher/stomp away-er.

we do plenty of time outs during the day because of sisterly love. ;)

GIRL TIME.. + daddy.

Daddy crashed the picnic I made the girls...

Seeing my girls growing up, makes me excited for

all the fun we have in store with our micah!

I love when babies are little and in the newborn stage...

but I reallyyy love the 6-12 month age!

He is coming to life.. giggly and jolly as ever

but moving and ready to rock and roll. a total snuggler.

Trying to savor every moment with my kids...

and have more patience in all the crazy moments...

because they are growing up SO FAST.
