My sister and brother in law are here with their two girls, Aria and Kira. The girls are adorable but I think I forgot how rambunctious a two and four year old can be. I moved what I could out of the way before they arrived. Within hours after they arrived I wondered why I had put so much energy into cleaning. Toys and clothes (they change frequently and leave their clothes on the floor), bits of paper, half-eaten food...They are like two little cyclones- but maybe they are just toddlers after all.

Did I mention how adorable and smart they are? Well, they are! Aria is amazingly smart and Kira (the younger one) is adorable through and through. She is not just precious to look at, but has a sweet personality to match. I really need to invest more time in getting to know them while they are here. Yesterday I was so busy getting dinner ready that I did not spend a lot of time with them.
