everyday, at least once, i tell the girls to be kind to one another because sisters love each other. sometimes they agree, other times not so much, but hopefully they will continue in their love for each other and understand what a sweet and precious gift the Lord gievs in a sister.
thankfully november has been one of those months that they have LOVED being together. they play for hours a day with doggies and babies and cooking in their kitchen and playing dress up and chase and of course the ever popular "kiss owen till he cries" game! one day while playing dress up i snuck in just in time to capture some pretty cute moments. they explained to me that addie was a princess at disneyland and ella was a little girl visiting disneyland. the cutest part was that addie was talking just like the princeses do, so sweet and complementary of ella. she was asking her about her name and her clothes and her favorite things. soooo funny.
all that disneyland play can really wear a girl out!
we try to make little fun crafts or treat for each season so we made little pilgrim hats out of chocolate dipped marshmallows (or marsh-pillows as ella calls them) & cookies this november. the girls were less than happy with me when they found out we had to wait to eat them till the next day (chocolate and bed time do not mix well around here). this displeasure with me revealed a new kind of unity for them. i call it the "sisters love each other because mom is unfair to both of us" unity or the "sisters help each other pout" unity :)
