The good old days

My good friend Abbi was in town for the past week so we have been busy having fun. Abbi has 2 kids the age of my 2 oldest, she moved away from Buffalo a little over 1 year ago, and life in Buffalo hasn't been the same with out her around. While she was here we got the kids together almost every day, had some girls nights, enjoyed lots of food, and went shopping a couple times. Last night the 3 of us ended her trip with some shopping and a chick flick. Although my heart is sad to see her go my wallet thanks her for leaving:) Thanks for giving me a reminder of the good old days, I miss you.

The power of this 1 year old

This girl may look sweet but she is trouble:

Today I sat back and watched Kaitlynn work her magic. Parker was at the table eating a snack, Kaitlynn walked over to him looked at him with those big blue eyes and smiled, Parker smiled then shared all of his snack with her.

Later Kaitlynn walked up to Kenzie, who was eating a doughnut, did her little show and in no time was given half of the doughnut.

I knew Kaitlynn had me and Anthony wrapped around her finger, but it wasn't until today that I realized she actually runs this house. She is so stinkn' cute she can pretty much get me, Anthony, Kenzie & Parker to give her whatever she wants.

Best Dad Ever

3 times in the last week I have been lucky enough to hang out with some friends, and not have the company of my 3 cute kids. Anthony doesn't complain how long or short I am gone, and is always doing something fun with the kids when I get home. I am a lucky lady.

Making cookies:

McKenzie's ABC's

Anthony came to me the other night excited and said "did you know McKenzie can sing her ABC's all by herself?" I just laughed, of course I know, I am the one who taught her. Mother's never get the credit they deserve.

Questions

I have a couple questions I just can't find answers to, like:

1. Why does a bird have to aim his morning poop for my kids' swings every day?

2. Why does Kaitlynn think, to make her food disappear, all she has to do is throw it on the floor?

3. Why does Kenzie think when the toilet paper roll is half gone, it is actually almost gone so she should just unravel the rest and flush it down the toilet?
4. Why does Parker think he can sit on the couch and yell "mom", and I will bring him whatever his little heart desires?
5. When did I get these bags under my eyes that are the size of craters?

McKenzie Day

Today Parker was at school and Kaitlynn was taking a nap so me and Kenzie had some fun together. I painted her nails, dressed her up like a princess, then we made cookies (more like I made the cookies she ate the good stuff that went in them). It was a fun day, I love this girl.
her up as a princess and she danced around for me, then we made cookies (more like I made the cookies she ate the good stuff that went in them). It was a fun day. I love this girl.

Kenzie teaching Kaitlynn

Tonight I walked into the living room and found Kenzie teaching Kaitlynn how to feed a baby a bottle. My heart just melted, it was priceless.

I loved that Kaitlynn just sat there listening.
