Maddy

You never know what Maddy is going to do next. Today she came upstairs and told me she had a "surprise" for me- that usually means - I did something and you are not going to be happy. She said she made me a snack- she managed to find the skewer's (which were hiding) and load one up with grapes. Maddy's new bedding came this afternoon- I got this set on EBay for 20$ and its brand new!

New P.J.'s

Why do kids outgrow their pajama's so fast? Maddy never has any because she is always growing and poor Mackenzie gets all the hand-me downs. So while at the mall today we noticed Gymboree was having a sale ( I never go in there b/c of their prices), but we found these cute Jammie's for 6.99. Mackenzie said I never get any new clothes! S0 I felt bad and bought here some too.

Making a Mess

Nothing is safe from Micah, he loves to make a mess!
Oops, did I do that?

Exploring with Micah

I followed Micah around with the camera the last few days. He loves to go in the kitchen and the back hall area. Excuse the runny nose!
Here I come! Ready or not!
A good place to hide
What's under the rug?

Micah will go to the back door and try to look outside, and he yells Da-Da hoping he will be home soon.

Madeline's words of wisdom

Today as we were sitting at the stop light Madeline saw a man sitting in a wheelchair alongside of the road with a bucket. She asked me if he was selling money, and I said no he was wanting people to put money in his bucket because he didn't have any. She was real quiet for a minute and said that poor man, maybe if he has a lemonade stand or a yard sale he could make lots of money! She always makes me smile with the way she thinks and views life-- if only it were that simple!

On the Move

Finally, Micah is able to sit up by himself and has started to crawl. Yeah! He is still going to see the Therapist on Friday, but we are happy he has started to move on his own!


Now he can get into everything-I am not sure if Mackenzie is helping him or just getting in the picture.
Hhmmm.... that table looks like a nice place to start.....

Mackenzie's "new" room

Mackenzie's new room - I just need to put the curtains up and she is set. It's nice having all the toys in their own rooms!

Maddy's "new" room

We decided to move the girls into their own rooms. So yesterday I took apart all the beds and moved our old queen size bed into their old room and moved Mackenzie's bed into the old guest room, and took Maddy's old twin bed to the garage to be sold. It was a lot of work and we finally finished getting all the toys moved upstairs into their rooms today. The girls are enjoying it so far and we can't wait to get a piano to put in the "old" toy room. Here is what Maddy's new room looks like minus the comforter and curtains. I am bidding on a set on Ebay which is a purple with yellow sunflowers.

Happy Father's Day

Friends from VBS

Mackenzie, Trista, Madeline, Shanae. The girls were all at my house for the afternoon. There was lots of yelling for the Red Team and the Blue Team. Unfortunately Shanae is a little outnumbered.

Vacation Bible School

Our Vacation Bible School started this week. The theme being Rescue Heroes- Saved by God's Power. Last night they had a helicopter land at the Church. All the kids were able to have a turn sitting in the cockpit. Each night is a different hero, we have had police, the helicopter, and tonight is a fire truck. The kids are divided into either the red or blue team, so there is lots of competition.

Swimming

Today at the pool they had a big party for all the kids to celebrate the end of school. They had lots of food and gave away prizes. We ended up winning a Shrek doll, which we will probably end up giving away since we aren't into Shrek. It was Micah's first time at the pool. He did not like it when I put him in the baby part- I think there were too many kids splashing, but he loved floating around with Daddy. Also on the way out of the pool Maddy lost her second tooth! I don't know why she always looses her teeth when the tooth fairy has no cash on hand!

Update- both girls got there first sun burn- they jumped into the pool before I had a chance to apply lotion and I really should have. It will be a long night.
