Go Tribe!

Matt took McKenna to a William and Mary football game today with some friends. They had fun, they made it all the way to half time. Which is good for McKenna's first game. Go Tribe! Oh and Mommy stayed home and quilted while Lily took a nap, oh what a day!

Funny Mom stuff!

What is that?

So I like reading another blog with some friends (you know who you are) and she always plays a fun game of name that photo. Well, I thought I'd have some fun like that and see what you all thought. So here you go. I want you to guess what/or who this is and what is going on. Have fun with it. I'll post the real picture in a couple of days. So after thinking about it, I figured that the first picture might be too hard and nothing that can help figure out what is going on so here is another picture to help figure it out. Good luck! And no McKenna didn't take the picture, I am just having fun with my picture manager.

Here it is. I couldn't wait, sorry cute picture, dumb game. I'll stick to just posting about the things we do.

Monkey's, Snakes and Binki's?

Man by some of these pictures you'd think that my girls never wear pants. Sorry! I do like them to wear pants! Lily Monkey, being dangerous like usual and climbing on things she knows she shouldn't.
We went to Busch Garden's and they had a Python(really really big, says McKenna) snake on display that you could go touch (I don't think you could call it petting). McKenna didn't want to touch it at all, but Lily touched it once then was ready to move on.

What?

Silly Lily, she decided that she wanted two binki's in her mouth!

Jay and Sage

This is my brother Jay and their baby Sage. I can't believe how big she is, I can't wait to come see her. Thanks mom for the picture!

Play Group

So we had play group on the Governor's Green in CW. And these girls were so funny with playing ring-around-the-rosie and falling down. Enjoy the pictures!

Park Fun

The weather here has been perfect fall weather so we went to the park with some friends. McKenna loved just running around and going down the slide.

Here is a hole that comes out the bottom of a big wooden ship that the slide is on. They all thought it was fun to look out the hole. Of course McKenna was hogging it but you can see Jack's eyes and that Lily is trying to pull her way into the hole.

Mess Monster take 2

So the Mess Monster has struck again. I thought it was going to be a normal day of laundry, but to my surprise when the whites came out of the dryer they all had nice blueish purple splotches on them. I almost cried it was a mess. Then my cute girl McKenna came over and said don't cry mom it's okay. I'm sorry. But that's just it. We don't know who did it or what it really was. I am guessing a crayon got dropped in the laundry and melted in the dryer and on all the clothes. I couldn't find any sign of a marker or pen anywhere. That pesky monster! I thought we were back to Tye-dyed clothes.

Cooking with Mom

I love that McKenna is at the age where she really wants to help me out, especially with cooking. So I decided that I would make her lunch fun the other day and we made a Grill Cheese Car. Pretty dorky I know, but she liked it. And I know wheels are round not square but she really wanted to eat it and I didn't have time to make them round.

Now it was time to make cookies. Not for any special reason besides that we wanted to eat them. McKenna loves dumping the ingredients into the bowl and using a spoon to mix stuff in, she won't use the hand mixer because it, "Too Loud" as she tells me every time I grab it.

Oh and it's not a rule that we cook with no pants on it just happens that after using the big girl potty she came out with no pants. Crazy girl! I know the last time they had their aprons on Lily didn't have pants on either.

The Forgotten!

So we were going through our pictures and I found a whole folder on the computer that I never posted or even talked about. So here they are. I guess better late then never.

Practicing for her own birthday cupcake dive! Yummy! Adam's Birthday

Everyone playing with play dough at Adam's birthday party.

Kristina, McKenna and Lauren (Cambridge friends)

Go Redsox!

B is for Boston!

Heather Janis and her daughter Esther came to visit us this summer in Cambridge. She came while visiting her parents in the Boston area. We had so much fun and love that we could see them before they headed to Dallas. We miss you guys here in our neck of the woods!

Ye-Ha Ride em cowgirl! McKenna loved this sleeping bag, she kept acting like it was a horse and she actually got bucked off a couple of times.

Here are our cute Nephews back in Washington. Trevin and Tyson. We miss you guys!

McKenna and Kristina waiting to get on the swan boats.

Cambridge Friends!

Fort McKenna: est 2007

I think Dad is brilliant. McKenna was in heaven in her new fort. Too bad it last about one hour before Lily discovered how the destroy it.

Mess Monster?

I'm starting to think that there is a monster hiding in our house. Every time I turn my back a new mess is made. Maybe the monster is actually a tag team of two girls. One age two the other age one. Hmmmmmmm.... Some how these two think it's fun to take all of their clothes out of the drawers and spread them around the house. Oh man!
Swaddled? I didn't think a 2 year old would like being swaddled anymore. She thought this was so funny.

Messy Monster again!

take two!
