Ari and Xander



Ari and Xander are so cute together and love each other so much, I have lots of pictures of the two of them being sweet. The other day when we got home from the library they sat down and started looking at a book together while the girls were doing school.

They looked so sweet that I got my camera to take a few pictures.


Once they noticed me they started looking at me instead of their book. I told them to pretend like I wasn't there and I got this picture. Ari said, "but you are there Mama".
Eventually they went back to their book.
Kole was being cute over at the window, so I turned around to take a few pictures of him.
He likes looking out the window and seeing the dogs, and birds.

Soon I heard that the sweet book sharing was turning into a war of the wills. So I turned back to the cute twins who were each trying to rip the book out of the other's hands. I stopped them by saying, "hands in the air"
I decided to keep taking the pictures. Daily fights are just as common as daily fun, so we're keepin it real.
Hands in the air worked for a second, but since they saw me taking pictures, they jumped on the opportunity to keep up the fight.



Ari see's that he's upset, will it move her?
Nope.

maybe we can share again...
ah, nope.






eventually the fighting got old. One of the benefits of having many playmates in the house, just move on to someone else.






and peace reigns again :)

What fun it was to see a day in the life! Or should I say 10 minutes in your life. Very sweet, thanks for sharing!

that was a funny progression of pictures. Xander is going to be uber prepared to deal with women and their emotions when he grows up. I like how Ari's eyebrows are always raised a little.
It's hard for a "no" to be taken seriously when you're taking pictures.

True Anna, he'll be able to join Ross in saying, "actually, growing up with a sister was nice because it really helped me understand women. Yeah, you should tell your friends that."

Nothing wrong with a friendly fight. I was raised with 7 others and we all shared also. It is good to see them sharing at least a little. Glad the kids like reading so well.
