Embrace the chaos...

Well, with a 3 1/2 year old bouncing off the walls with energy and a 9 month old crawling and trying to keep up, there is much chaos in our house these days.  Loads of giggles, tears and just plain energy.  Add Clara learning to self-feed and the girls battling over toys and learning to co-exist (especially now that Clara is mobile and has quite a little determined spirit!)  I am so thankful we have our beloved babysitter back so I can get a little reprieve now and then at work!  It helps me appreciate my job at home and be a better mommy.  Although we are BUSY, we are having so much fun!  Our girls have a lot of personality and spice! I recently commented to a friend how I was a bit shocked by Clara's new found spunk and personality (throwing tantrums already!) she replied, 'Well of course!  Both her parents have spice!" Darn.  I guess we may have passed some of that down.  Our kids don't stand a chance!

I snapped the photos below after I came into Clara's room and found Mia pinning Clara down with her legs and playing a game "rocky boat" that she made up with Clara.  Luckily Clara thinks her sister's games are pretty fun!
