Dip

One day last week, my sweet little darling woke up at 4am (what else is new!)

She usually wants a drink of water or milk. 

On this day when I opened the fridge to grab her cup (in all of my exhaustion and sleepiness) she started pointing and saying, "that. that."

I had no clue what she wanted, as our fridge was pretty empty. I kept saying, "what? this? this?"

Finally I figured it out. She wanted chips and french onion dip. At 4am. 

I held strong and said no. We went back to bed (eventually). 

Guess what she freaked out about again at 6:30am?? 

She's such a mini-Jim. 

I gave in by 6:30!

Breakfast of Champions!!

Of course sister had to join in on all the yummyness!

Beauty Queen then needed her picture taken with her "Hello Pony" aka My Little Pony

Apparently she also got ahold of my camera! Lol!

Fun Time Thursday

We had a fun little day today and I am actually blogging about it in the present! Amazing!

Mckenna had gymnastics this morning and then we ran over to a park district event called 

Puppets in the Park! We saw a puppet show/play at the band shell in the park! 

The girls really enjoyed it. Norah even sat and watched the first 30 minutes!

After heading home for lunch and naps, we headed off on a bike ride to the park.
Mckenna is getting really strong on her bike and can ride off down the block on her own. 

She has learned to stop at the corners or whenever I tell her she needs to.

Norah likes to cruise in blue car style!

We splashed at the splash pad and then did some playing. 

Norah was trying to get Mckenna to go in the baby swing next to her!

Kisses!

Steering the boat!

For dinner tonight I made a whole roast chicken and some corn on the cob. 

Norah enjoyed some corn!!!

She ate (sucked) on the cob for a good 20 minutes!

We wrapped up our evening with some homemade milkshakes, baths and early bedtimes!!

Sunday Fun Day

I have had some technical issues in getting this post published! 

So... better late than never! 

Two weeks ago we enjoyed a casual family Sunday together!

Norah enjoyed hanging around the house wearing 4 bows in her hair. Her choice.

We enjoyed a family trip to Lowe's

Which is convientantly next to the new Portillo's!! 

Mckenna got a milkshake as a treat at the end of the meal... 

Norah apparently liked it!

Fighting me on giving it back to Mckenna!

Uh oh!! I took it away!

When we got home they both decided to swim in their clothes! Good times!

Little miss swimming under water with her eyes open!

Quick Bite

On Sunday night we went out for a quick bite to eat! Mckenna loves getting crayons and coloring sheets at restaurants. She does pretty well drawing and coloring and it definitely keeps her busy!

Sometimes Daddy likes to color with her!

Pasta Night

One night last week we had Pasta Night at our house! Pasta is one of Mckenna's favorite foods! On this night Mckenna was shoving it into her mouth by the handful!!

Stop sign to Daddy!

Oh boy! Pasta night became bath night!

MORE!!!

Mckenna got some cute new shoes the other day. She is loving them and last night insisted upon wearing them with her pajamas all around the house. I was pretty sure that she was going to go to bed with them on... alas, she didn't :)

She didn't really want her picture taken to start...

But then baby started posing...

So of course we could have our "cheese" done then!

Bling, Bling

Our new favorite snack... drinkable yogurt!

Such a big girl
