what do you like about your sister?

i asked each of the girls this question: what do you like about your sister?  their responses crack me up.

cora: i like about her playing toys

m: what else do you like about your sister?

c: nothing else.

hazel: she's so so nice and sweet

m: anything else?

h: whenever she has a flower in her hair, i think she's pretty.

look at those chubby baby toes in the sand! ^^^  i. die.

excuse me while i print these and put them ALL OVER MY HOUSE

beach photos

my mom's birthday present request: new portraits of the girls.  and since we looked cute last sunday, and i have been meaning to take beach photos of the girls for FOREVER, we just randomly decided to go to the pier and shoot some photos and see if we got anything good.  and boy, did we!  in fact, we got so many good ones that i will probably have to post another batch another day.  my girls were looking SO CUTE and were being so cooperative with the promise of treats when we got home.  

my beauties:

 you guys, I MADE THEM.  i can hardly believe it.

they love each other fiercely.  a little too much sometimes.  i'm sure one day i'll look back and laugh about it, but right now my top phrase is, "don't touch your sister!"  so far we've avoided any major injuries
