I almost always put my pictures on in chronological order, but as I was going through my most recently download tonight, I just had to put these on first. Partially because of the story that goes with it.
On Valentine's Day, I was looking through Maddi's closet for a dress to wear and I thought, she hasn't worn the purple/pink one she got for Christmas in a long time. That would be cute for today.
So I pulled it off the hanger and went to Kimee (who has to think about everything ahead of time, and will never do something if I want her to, only if she wants to).
"Hey, Kimee, wouldn't it be cute if you wore these matching dresses today for Valentine's Day. They are purple and pink!" I even pulled out a short sleeve purple shirt to match the skirt, since she had previously HATED the matching long sleeve shirt.
Kimee had already picked out what she wanted to wear, and that wasn't it.
So, without making a big deal, I gave her a sad, dejected face, and went into the hall with Audrey's matching outfit. I really didn't have the energy to try and convince Kimee today. I honestly didn't think she would change her mind and just figured it would be her loss for not matching.
Audrey happily agreed to the outfit.
Surprisingly, within minutes Kimee not only had the outfit on, but she had on the long sleeve shirt she SO could not stand weeks before. And not only that, Kimee wanted to do pictures for me and was a SUPER good sport and a SUPER good helper throughout the entire photo shoot (not that long). Thank you so much, Kimberly! That was an awesome Valentine's Day gift. Turns out Maddi had an ear infection (not a happy camper) and Audrey had one leg up and was showing her undies in most of the pictures. Woops! I didn't even notice until we were done.
I love my girls so much. I'm glad they love each other too, at least most of the time!
Cute pictures. You have adorible kids!
