The not so secret lives of "bers" & "chAw-ee "

So This summer has been a whirl wind of swim diapers and flip flops and sunscreen, Grammys pool and jogging strollers, bike riding and splash pads play dates land otter pops and fall in your tracks napping for 2 houring. Such fun and so many memories. I swear I have certainly become that mom who would lose my own head if it wasn't screwed on. With almost-two-year-old twins there are many if not thousands of thoughts running through my head at all times. Which made public outings so interesting. A constant counting of heads took place. Accompanied by plenty of panic.  We were lucky enough to spend so much time with our families this summer. All 3 of my siblings and their families got to come stay at my parents with us!  We had lots of fun cousin time and far too much fun. Amongst all the chaos, Bear and Charlee were growing and learning tremendously! I love hearing the sweet words and mimics that come out of their mouths. Bear is the sweetest little human. Most of the time. When his sissy gets upset, he will comfort her by hugging her or finding her binkie for her or straight giving his own binkie to her. He lets her get away with just about anything. Shes a toy stealer. He finds something else to play with. He feeds her. He is so sweet to her. And to strangers. He will give out smiles "hi"s and waves for free. Charlee takes a minute to warm up, but I love it when they get in an "uh oh" war or "hiiii" war.  The best thing that has come out of those sweet little babe mouths... Each other's name. It just melts my heart every time. Especially when bear says "saw-ee chaw-ee" when apologizing. Everything with him gets a "g" sound. We've got heaps of "ginkies" and "gankies" around here. Then theses miss who favors the "s" "bers" ah I can hear it! So special. "Ber bers" that Charlee can be the sweetest little thing when she wants to be. She knows exactly how to work me over (and daddy and grandparents) she can sense when I'm upset or sad and she is very quick to come pat me on the back or pucker up and plant a kiss anywhere all over my face. She is a snuggler. They are so sneaky. Soooooooooo many messes. They can reach up on the counters which has been a nightmare. They are just now starting to watch movies. They haven't cared for any up to this point but a good signing time DVD sure gets them excited. Their favorite movies are tangled and frozen. They LOVE to have a dance party with mommy and their favorite songs are 'head shoulders knees and toes and Itsy bitsy spider. haha anyway, There are simply too many pictures to try to go through. But I gave it a shot, here is our life the last few months in pictures

So long summer!

Bring on the crisp autumn air with hayrides and Halloween and most importantly a SECOND birthday for these cuties. Enjoy the very best time of the year!
