These crazy kids

These two little people have got some pretty fun personalities and are getting more fun all the time. Here's just a little picture update of two of the goofiest kids.
Here, I was trying to get a picture of Addie in her new dress that I made for her. This is pretty typical of both of them; Addie trying to show something off and look like a beautiful princess while Andres tries to bug her or make fun of her.
Addie getting dressed up. She went in her room and came out with this outfit (complete with shoes on the wrong feet). You may wonder why this is blog worthy. I mean, there is nothing exciting or seemingly unusual about this outfit, besides the fact that this cute and matching (notice the necklace that is mostly hidden and even the socks) outfit was chosen and put on entirely by a 3 year old. What is unusual is that she wanted to wear ALL of this as a choice. Usually when she gets dressed it is just a shirt. She won't put on shorts or a skirt unless we're leaving the house or someone is coming over. When we come home from anywhere, the first thing to come off is the skirt or shorts - even before shoes (which makes it a bit difficult to take off the shorts or skirt) and if she does happen to leave her bottoms on for awhile, then at the first potty break they just don't come back on. So this whole complete outfit was a miracle and definitely picture worthy. Last Sunday she even asked me to put her hair up for her! There may be hope!
I just thought this was really funny of Andres. The picture doesn't show it very well, but he is completely stuck and cannot move at all. The chair is pushed completely under the table (so they can't climb up to the counter that is behind him). He was not upset while I took the picture. Who knows, maybe it was comfortable? But crawling or climbing into spots that are way too small or tight seems to be one of his favorite things to do right now.
