Minute Maid Should Pay Us

Weren't those the two cutest juice box advertisers you've ever seen? Minute Maid should really pay us.
And yes, brother stole sister's juice, and she cried, but then he gave it back and she was happy again :-)

We went to the park today since it was so nice out. It was rainy a lot in the last week and we'd been stuck in the house, so I wanted to get the kids out and take them somewhere other than the grocery store or Grandma's house (not that they don't love it there.) They had fun and played for about an hour, ate some fruit snacks and drank juice, and of course I got those beautiful shots of them.

We've been doing good. Everyone's keeping this momma busy. Now that Kaelynn is walking really good running around all over the place, I am constantly chasing two terrible toddlers. It may just be all in my head, but I swear they conspire against me. They must huddle together in their room when I'm not looking and plan to drive me insane and be extra needy, always at the same time. When Dallas isn't happy, Kaelynn isn't happy. When Kaelynn is hungry, Dallas is hungry. When one is poopy... well, what do ya know?! So is the other! But as much as I can sit here and complain about it, I absolutely love it.
Besides bonding with them myself, the greatest joy of my life is seeing them bond together. Seeing them be best friends, partners in crime. They laugh together and cry together.
I never planned having them so close together, but when I did, I never imagined it would be so much work, yet so much fun at the same time. I know they won't always get along, they'll fight and argue. That's inevitable. It's a natural part of sibling hood. But despite all the fighting and arguing I'm sure is to come, my wish for them as brother and sister is to grow up knowing that they love each other, care for each other and respect each other. That family is number one. As siblings, the relationship they have with each other will be the longest relationship of their whole lives- from the cradle to the grave. And I just can't wait to be the one that gets to watch it all. I'm the proud mom that gets to witness it.
I can't wait to watch them grow together, go to school together, make friends together, graduate high school together, get married together, and have children of their own together. And maybe it won't happen exactly that way. Maybe one of them will take a different path in life and not get married, or not have kids. And that's okay. Even so, I just want them to know that they will always have each other. Whether or not they are experiencing the same things, or they grow to be completely separate and different people- I just want them to know they always have each other.

BUT......... While they are still little and Bubba is busy taking Sissy's juice, so she hits him, he pinches her, she pushes him, then he pushes back and cries "She's being mean!" Who wants to help me out and put a caption to this picture!?



Come on, it'll be fun. I know some of you have really creative, interesting and witty minds. Help me out!
