Boys vs Girls

I love the differences in the two....

Kyle was pretending to be a monster...

....Sierra runs away, squealing

....Reid turns around, with a book in his hand and says "No, I will fight him!" And takes jabs at the monster while making fighting sounds

Priceless.

Pinned

These two are really loving to push each others buttons right now. But they also are connecting and having a lot of fun being play mates. They can make one another giggle and laugh over and over and I love to get to watch it!!!

They were having a blast this afternoon after nap time - crawling on each other, "wrestling", smoothing each other...and the laughter was contagious :)

Thankfully this one ended without injury - I'm sure that wont always be the case...

Cuties

Ballet party

Gracie's ballerina birthday party was full of frills, tutus and giggles. It was so fun! And Miss Cinnamon, Sierra's dance teacher from the spring, came to lead the girls in 30 min of ballet.

Sierra had a blast!!! And I have to admit, I had a blast just watching all the girls be so girly :)

Funnies

Reid....

He used to respond with a polite "yes" and "no". It then progressed to "yeh" and "Neh". It is now "mmm hmm" and "ugh ugh". ....(lovely)

_________

"I'm always hungry!", randomly from the backseat of the car one day

_________

-Reid: "I always like orange hats, when its sunny."

-me: "look, it is sunny"

-Reid: "oh, I believe it!"

_________

"Excuse me, Daddy are you a girl?" (because Kyle was writing a note with Sierra's pink and purple feather pen)

_________

"I always like orange a long time, remember?"

Sierra....

"We haven't been to Africa in a long time! We need to go there!", randomly from the backseat one day

_________

"Ok, Mommy, we need to pack your suitcase so we can go to Africa to go on a hike! C'mon! Lets go!", said as I opened her door to let her out of rest time (she is very into Africa right now!)

__________

"I have a plan. On the way to church, we'll listen to your grown up music and on the way home, we'll listen to kids music! So that we can give you a little joy."

_________

While Kyle was putting Sierra to bed, 

Sierra: "If I come out of my room, you'll give me one more chance, right?"

Kyle: "If you come out, you will get a consequence"

S: "but you're not the king of the castle. This isn't even a castle, it's a house"

K: "yes, I am"

S: "no, you're not. Because God and Jesus are the king because they love us"

K: (...silence...)

The boss

I was looking around the house for an important paper and asked Sierra if she knew where it could be...

Her response, "well, I don't know Mommy. I'm not the boss, so I don't know where it is. Sorry, I can't help."

Oh wow. She is a smart one! (And a bit of a stinker. But a super cute one!)

Sweet boy

At lunch, Reid looks over at my plate and says, in the sweetest loving voice, "You're almost done, Mommy! You're such a grown-up!"

(Haha! I tell him he's such a big boy all the time, so he was trying to encourage me this time)  :)
