Mommy Daughter Day/More Summer Fun

Yesterday was a busy yet very fun day, especially for McKenna and I.

McKenna needed some new levi's so I decided to take her "Back to School" Shopping. She was so cute we walked into Old Navy and I showed her a few pairs of jeans and she knew exactly which pair she wanted. Then she picked out a shirt and a matching pair of socks. She did spot a hat that we had looked at online to get for her and since it was on sale and I didn't have to pay S&H why not? She was so excited and giddy as we paid for her new lil outfit. We then headed to Target where she got a little distracted in the toy section claiming her "need" for many princess outfits and dolls. I managed to pull her out (she was holding onto my leg) and into the baby section to get a pack'n play I'm contemplating on taking back already (need vs want issue runs in the family). When I told her we were going to look for new shoes McKenna was ecstatic. I showed her boots, dress shoes, sandals and then she found "the pair." A pair of black shoes semi-dressy with silver and a few fake diamonds on them. One thing I can definitely say for McKenna that makes me proud. She's not a greedy girl, she didn't ask or beg for more than one shirt, pants or pair of shoes. She was so cute strutting her stuff for her Dad when we got home and got her dressed.


I had a Dr's appointment yesterday and since traffic wasn't looking good so I decided to take McKenna with me & utelize the HOV lane. :) She was very excited to go hear the Baby Boy's heartbeat and decided to take her baby too. She fell asleep on the way there, I can't believe some of the positions kids can sleep in. She was very considerate of making sure the baby was in a seatbelt and covered by a blanket before drifting off.

McKenna decided she didn't want to accompany me to the bathroom, who can blame her. The Staff was very nice and allowed McKenna to make herself right at home. When I came out I found her behind the desk sitting in her own chair writing on the calendar. It was quite comical.
"I Spy" a lizzard who moved in

John was a good sport and didn't even complain when he was left to care for and watch Tyler. She slept pretty much the whole time I was gone in the morning and all but an hour in the afternoon but I know he's feeling quite stressed with all the house projects he has to do. I told him there pry wasn't much he'd have to do in the afternoons she just loves to splash in the pool and then would go down for a nap. I was impressed to hear he'd taken her to feed the goats, check out the figs and had even sat by the pool while she played, apparently she doesn't play so well by herself :) and wanted constant supervision.

Last but not least as an update the last few days have been a lil warm and so the girls and I have spent quite a bit of time by the pool. It's been fun splashing around and eating ice cream and McKenna's been playing the puppy role a lot. (Pictures aren't bad considering they came from my phone aye?)

Puppy McKenna & Tyler discovered the magic of "pockets" and was smuggling Scrabble Letters.

Ha ha sounds like so much fun!! Oh and the pics are def. not bad at all!! I guess I'll have to be careful when I let nicholas play with my small camera. He always seems me with my camera and tries to do the same with the small one. School shopping sounds fun though! It sounds like you both had a good time. And these babies just keep growing and growing don't they. Hope you are feeling well. everything is great except for my feet being so swollen it's hard to pick out which shoes to wear. . .
:( very stressful ha ha

Your phone takes good pictures! I was thinking "Oh cool, she got a new camera"
It's so fun to spend alone time with your kids. I always love it. You get to see a side you don't always see when they are not fighting for your attention.
