Jack and Mackenzie at Turle's before the mini-movers class. It was bring-a-friend week. On Wednesday, Emma went with Caroline, and today was Mackenzie's turn to go with Jack. Just prior to me taking this picture, the two of them were standing next to each other just fine. I get out the camera, and they both climbed off the bleachers. Mackenzie loved the class - especially the trampoline.

See that white speck in the picture? That's Emma's sock. According to her, she was standing in Rachel's doorway (to the left of my nephew Michael), threw it, and it curved left and landed there. It's hard to tell in the picture, but that's a second story shelf thing, and you can't reach it without a ladder. So Michael got a pole out of the basement and used it to pull the sock to the edge and down to the floor below. It was hysterical. We couldn't belive she got her sock over there. She's got a good arm!

Sam, Cody, Mackenzie and Emma waited patiently for the butterflies to fly out. Then they waited some more. And then a little bit longer before finally giving up and playing Hungry Hungry Hippos. I immediately placed C batteries on my list.

Mackenzie is not a fan of car washes. She actually cried and whimpered for a minute. Yet, when it was over, she joined in with Emma's cheer to do it again.

Emma sleeping with her nightcap on. Her Bitty Baby has a nightgown with a matching nightcap. Emma decided this Santa hat would be her nightcap, to, as she said, "keep my head warm while I sleep." She enjoys sleeping in her sleeping bag on the floor. Apparently, she finds it quite comfortable.

Tonight I cleaned up the mess in the basement, including this. Mackenzie entertained herself for quite a while by taking all these cards out of their boxes. At least she was quiet and not pushing a chair to the counter to get the cookies.

Mackenzie fell asleep about 3 1/2 minutes after leaving my mom's tonight. She was completely wiped out. She'd been to the mall (where she did very well - complete opposite of the earlier Target trip), played at Grandmas, visited with her cousins and aunt and had no nap. You can see the chocolate on her face from the last handful of M&Ms she grabbed before leaving.
