Good Bye October

We have had a blast celebrating Halloween this entire month. It has seemed like Halloween was a two week long holiday around here. Since Sienna has an extensive dress-up wardrobe, the girls were able to wear a different costume to every event:) The girls had a nice entourage for trick-or-treating with Mimi,Pop, Papa, Cookie and of course Jil, Patrick, Baby Kinley and Best Buddy Jackson! Anyways, here are a few of their ensembles.... Sienna was also Pocahontas and a fairy but I'm lucky to get the pictures I have.

Super Helper

Big Baby in a Little Stroller

The Cinderella Sisters

Though she looks like she is taking credit for this, she told us that "she was not touching the pumpkin" and that we could "just surprise her' 

OMG! Who is this tall little girl? This is Fancy Nancy. Sienna loves these books and looks just like her!

What a great end to a great night!

Good times

These past couple weeks have been so great! In my last post I was talking about the chaos that is my girls but right now they are just the cutest little best friends. Scarlett is finally feeling better and is so happy and giggly all the time. Sienna is always wanting to hold her hand, share toys with her and play with her. Don't get me wrong they still manage to get into trouble.. (Tupperware all over kitchen, standing on everything, streaming toilet paper throughout the house....) but I'm glad they are enjoying each other for the moment.

 

The Latest and Greatest of Big S and Little S

Scarlett is into: dancing everywhere, standing on the bathroom stool and brushing her teeth, her belly button, headstands, standing on anything tall, serving everyone tea from Sienna's tea cart.

Sienna is into: having a baby...(no I'm not pregnant) She talks  all the time how "we need to have another baby" and "What should we name our new baby?", singing, party planning, cruising on her scooter, solving mysteries, and inserting herself into adult conversations like she knows what is going on:) Hubby and I will be talking about something funny we saw and she will start laughing and say "Oh yea that was funny" even though she has no idea what we said.

 Big Adventures for Mommy and Daddy

Last weekend, Hubby and I went to our alma mater to see a football game. We had so much fun reminissing about the city we met in:) The amazing Mimi and Pop watched the girls. (Thanks Mom!) Hopefully my little angels didn't pull out all their tricks on them.

This weekend, Super Hubby watched the girls as I went on a mini girls trip. I think the girls had too much fun and are going to be begging for Daddy tomorrow when we go back to our usually routine. I know they were happy to have me home but I had to peel them off of him just to say hi. Other than the stress of discovering the car needed a new battery with hungry girls and groceries in the car, Hubby said they had a blast. Sienna told me "Mom, the car just went click, click, click and we just couldn't get our starter going but it's ok because we ate mini salami in the car and Mimi came!" Hahaha ok:)

Have a great week and thanks for reading!!

Watch out! Here comes the Koller girls!

You know in cartoons when dogs and cats get into fights and its just a ball of dust flying with a few random paws sticking out every once in a while? That's how I've been feeling lately with the girls. With Scarlett shrieking her every demand and Sienna negotiating her way through the day, I'm barely able to complete a sentence. I'm sure the girls pediatrician thinks I'm losing it since I kept saying "Can you write that down?" while he was talking to me about Scarlett's latest ear infection. Now where did I put his notes that he wrote down... Ok well as loud and crazy as they are, these girls just amaze me on a regular basis. Scarlett is 15 months now (going on 3) and Sienna is going to be 4 in just a few weeks! EEK!

We have been busy traveling lately. We went to Dallas two weeks in a row to visit family. Unfortunately, it was the best I could do to just get the girls to sit still for a couple pictures. Sorry there isn't any of the family we visited!! It's so sweet to see how much the girls love ALL their family members. Sienna can tell me a story/experience about every person in our family.

"Explorer Pack" AKA fanny pack for the Austin Nature Center:)

Where are Scarlett's clothes? Why is she all wet? Where did she get those glamorous shoes? Welcome to my life:)

Sienna is relaxing and Scarlett is planning some sort of disaster as they watch Cousin Zach's soccer practice.

"Ah! Let's just go already!" (Dallas Arboretum)

Ha! This was Sienna's idea of posing in the pumpkins...

So this picture sums up our world right now... Sienna can't be bothered with family pictures and Scarlett cannot be confined to a quiet lap.

Hey thighs!

I turned around to find her half way up the 'rock wall' at the park. Great!

Sweet Sienna

Sweeeeeet Scarlett

listening to Big Tex at the State Fair.

Elephant ride at the state fair. Also first of three rides that had wet seats that Sienna had to find out the hard way.

I didn't try this but it was only because everyone was walking too fast!

cousins at the fair

Our fair trip ended with lots of rain but the girls thought that was awesome and Sienna loved her new "rain bag"

Happy Lil' Pumpkin

Running out of pumpkin patch enthusiasm...

I love these girls more than words! We are blessed!
