A MONTH IN THE LIFE.......

Well, with today being the last day of the month, A Month In The Life of Sienna and Serena is complete!  This doesn't mean there won't be any new posts, just not everyday!  I'll leave you with a few videos from the month, enjoy and remember to live in the moment, and live through the eyes of a child! It's more fun!

FUTURE CANADIAN IDOLS?

I feel so special, and it's not even my birthday!

SPRINKLERS MAKE US SCREAM!

DANCING PRINCESSES!

TAP DANCING

Sienna had been asking consistently to take a tap dancing class, so when I found this summer program, I immediately signed her up.  Today was the last day and while Sienna had fun while she was there, her reply when I asked her if she wanted to take it again was "No thanks, once is enough!"

ONE EXTREME TO THE NEXT.....

At the beginning of July it was so rainy we just prayed for some hot weather, now it's so hot we have to retreat to air conditioniong for some relief!!

Most days I can't get Serena to stay in any clothes...today she wanted to wear her princess dress, disney princess jean jacket with full hood and fancy shoes.  Can you say HOT?! 

Hence the title of this post.......

NASTY LITTLE CREATURES

Anyone else sick of these nasty little bugs??  Apparently because of all the rain we had in early July mixed with the hot sunny weather we are having now, the mosquito population is at an all time high.  Usually by this time of year we can enjoy being outside without worrying about being bit by the pesky guys gals (see below).  

Both the girls swell up so bad and have a tough time not scratching.  It makes going outdoors not so fun.  

Go away mosquitoes...your not welcome here!

* A little piece of trivia I heard for the first time last year, it is the female mosquitoes that bite for blood.  It is their source of nutrients to produce eggs.   Males feed on nectar and plant juices.  So there you have it, a little fact for the day!

YUMMY!

Nothing says summer like a popsicle in the sunny backyard!  
Notice a trend with my kids...they really don't like to wear clothes, inside or out!

REMEMBER WHEN.....

The girls love looking at pictures when they were younger.  Here Sienna is showing Serena a picture of herself crying around 15 months old.

Roll it, shape it, eat it!

FINGER PAINTING

First it was mud pies, now today it's finger painting.  Yes, these kids love to get dirty!  Notice the lack of paint on Serena's paper, it was more fun to just smear it all over her hands!  Ick!

MOVIE TIME

It's amazing what a 2-year old can do with an iPod.  Serena  insists it's "movie time".  She can get into YouTube's history to watch her favorite cartoons and baby animals!

TREATS

Are these not the most obnoxious candy apples you've ever seen?!  Gone are the days of the simple red candy coating!

CALGARY TRANSIT


We have become very efficient at taking Calgary Transit in the last week.  The only problem is knowing the schedule to prevent standing in the rain for 20 minutes!!  You never know what kind of 'wildlife' you may see either!!

DOG DAYS OF SUMMER

SLEEPOVER

This may be hard for some to believe but besides the night Serena was born, Sienna has never had a sleepover anywhere without me being there!  

Well, tonight is the big night.  She is staying with Grandma and Grandpa in their trailer "camping"!  Cousins Talyn and Tory are there as well so it's going to be a full house.  

When I went to drop her off she kept asking when I was leaving.  She couldn't wait to get rid of me! 

Now I sit here wondering what she's doing, is she behaving, but most importantly...is she thinking of me as much as I'm thinking of her!! 
(probably not)!

I know she will have a great time but I am looking forward to seeing her tomorrow!

Update:  The sleepover went great!  Unbelievably, Sienna and her cousins stayed up until 11:30 to watch the fireworks (at the Stampede)!  Needless to say, she was a grumpy tired girl today!
