Our Little Stinker

Everyone says the 2's are terrible, but I have always said 1 and 3 are worse. Mackenzie is doing a good job of keeping that a true statement. I may begin a countdown to her 4th birthday before long! Here are some pictures to show you just what I mean.


Attempting to climb in the washer.

Almost there!

I am not sure how this one happened. I was doing some Awana work on the computer and she was napping. Well, she was supposed to be at least. She apparently went into stealth mode and snuck downstairs. She got into the freezer and got a Popsicle out then went to sit on Daddy's new chair massager to eat it. Unfortunately she forgot to throw out the wrapper and stick before falling asleep in the chair.

Another one of those times when I thought she was sleeping. You can't see it very well, but she went into my room and got into my foundation and eye shadow. It was all over her face and neck. Just another one of those times when I needed to scold her but had to take the picture first.

Oh, did I forget to mention she got it all over her carpet, too? Unfortunately, it's still there a month later. I need to call the carpet cleaners. They LOVE me, or should I say, Mackenzie!

These are just a few of the examples of how she is our little stinker. I forgot to get pictures of the pen all over the ottoman, black marker on the dining room walls, crayon all over her and Madison's white foot boards, lipstick and nailpolish ground into the carpets...and let's not forget the beautiful picture she made for me with "stickers" otherwise known as postage stamps! Believe it or not, I do watch her pretty closely, but obviously she needs constant supervision!

Fun with Addy

We were all so excited to get a call from cousin Andrea asking if we could watch Addy last Monday. She is such a sweetheart and was so good all day. It was a wonderful baby fix for me too! We are hoping they call again soon! Hey, guys, that was our not so subtle hint! Kennedy was sad that she only got to see her for a few minutes before and after school. Addy seemed to take to Madison and would whimper if she left the room and even cried for a minute when Madison left for school. I am not sure she knew what to think of Mackenzie the tornado, but she did like watching her run around. Addy, please come visit again soon! Aunt Judy, thanks for not being able to watch her so we could have a chance!

A tired little Addy!
Kennedy wanted to get a picture with her before she left for school. That girl is going to be a great babysitter in a few years!
Addy putting up with Mackenzie!

Chillin in the chair!

I was not allowed to give Addy her bottle. Madison insisted on doing it.

So sweet! Addy fell asleep drinking her bottle and Madison didn't want me to lay her down. She held her the whole nap! It was fun to see this side of Madison.

Mackenzie popped in the picture just in time.

Going for a walk. Addy was so excited she kicked her legs almost the entire time.

Climbing over Madison to get to the toy!
Addy, please come stay with us again soon!
Your cousins,
Kennedy, Madison and Mackenzie!

Easter

Sorry for the lack of updates. What can I say! I have three kids, two in school, one in two different schools and a wild 3 year old.

Here are some pictures of the girls from Easter. Totally didn't think to get a picture of them on Sunday morning in their dresses. Oh, well. This year they just wore something from last year or something of their older sisters. They looked cute and it didn't cost me a penny! That was the best part!



Mackenzie really got into coloring eggs this year and, amazingly, didn't spill more than a drop or two!


Madison working hard on her design before dying the egg.

The little "egg tongs" worked great for Mackenzie's little hands.




Hard at work!

Easter morning looking for eggs. Is that one I see in the fruit bowl. I am afraid to say that we still have not been able to find two of the eggs the Easter Bunny hid. With the warm weather I am sure we will find them soon! (Don't look at the messy counters!)

This is the wild hair that greets me every morning! She was so happy to find an egg!
