Princess Taylor and Sly Little Syd

The other day I spent an ENTIRE hour with Taylor as she desperately tried to decide which of her five princess dresses she wanted to wear. Yes, an hour. And I'm not exaggerating! She'd say, "Mom, which one do you think I should wear?" So, I'd tell her, "well, I really think the purple one would look really pretty today." And she'd reply with, "yea, but mom, which one do you think I should wear?" (Um, didn't I just answer that?? I'm obviously not picking the right one...) Anyway, she finally decided. And, after a touch of lip gloss, she wanted me to take her picture.

Isn't she beautiful?? :)

NOT FIVE MINUTES AFTER taking her picture, she ran to the other room, CHANGED OUT OF HER DRESS, came back dressed in her snow clothes and was out the door. I guess the snow was just calling her name and it was too hard to resist!

In the meantime, Sydney was not wanting to be neglected. After all, there was a camera in the room! So I snapped a few million pictures of her in her Tinkerbell wings. This was one of my favorites!

This next picture, however, is my absolute FAVORITE of the day!
This is Sydney doing "what daddy can do!" Chad has the best "mad" face that he flashes at the girls when he disapproves of something they've done.
Well, Syd has mastered it.
A few weeks ago, after she had done something she shouldn't have (clawed Taylor's face with her fingernails) Chad called her over to talk to her.
Chad:"Syd, did you scratch Taylor?"
Syd:"Yup"
(Picture here "The Face")
Syd: "Dad, I can do that."
Chad: "Do what?"

Chad turned to muffle his laugh, and when he turned back, she was gone. Punishment successfully evaded!

Now you know how I feel when you ask my opinion on what you should wear. Even if I give my opinion you end up changing your clothes anyway. Love ya, babe!!

Fantastic!!! Although, I wouldn't have pegged Taylor as a "pink" kind of a girl, but there she is wearing a pink dress and snowsuit. Either way, they're all cuties.
Hope you're feeling well. Talk to you soon. Love you all!!
