Our Happy Chaos

Tennessee

2010-05-12T23:36:00.001-07:00

My Mom, Mckenna, and I went to Tennessee to visit my sister for a few days for her baby shower. We helped get her nursery and her house together. It took a few days for Mckenna to get use to her surroundings but once she did she loved it their. She loved her "Aunt Sissy" and now every time we talk on skype, Mckenna has to make sure she is right there talking to her aunt. Thanks for the great time Alys. We love you and can't wait to go back in a month!!!

The Dentist

2010-05-12T22:25:00.000-07:00

We all know the dentist is not very fun so how do you tell a 4 year old...."There is nothing to worry about sweetie, it is sooo FUN!!! ;) She did an awesome job for her first visit. Of course she would ask everyone who would look in her mouth if it was going to hurt. She even asked the hygenist, who wanted her to do a water rinse, if it was going to hurt. She did so well with her rinse they decided to give her a flouride rinse!

Easter

2010-04-12T23:31:00.001-07:00

Coloring eggs

Madisyns Easter basket from Grandma Robyn
Thank you for the goodies Grandma Robyn!!

I love this picture
Looking for eggs

"You can't see me"I LOVE both of their faces!!!After the Easter egg hunt"Peek a boo" I LOVE this picture too!! Matthew pushing Madi while Madi steers them both.
She loves to open presents
Easter was tons of fun this year. We started at Cathys house on Saturday. She had delicious food and a huge Easter egg hunt. My girls had a blast. Then Sunday it was off to Adams sisters house for more delicious food, family time, and another huge Easter egg hunt. From there, we went to my Grandpas house where there was more food and more family time. We all had tons of fun and it was great to see everyone at all places!

The new swing set!!

2010-04-12T23:17:00.000-07:00

I guess Madi tired of her swing so she decided to relax in Mckennas.

McKenna loving it!

Madi loving it!! I love this picture.

We bought the girls a swing set the other week and they absolutely love it!! McKenna will sit and swing for long periods at a time and Madi is always ouside playing on it. As a mom, I have to say that I love it as well!!

9 Months!

2010-04-12T22:45:00.001-07:00

She snuck into the pantry and got into the Cheez its. My Easter Basket! Eating Strawberries for the first time. Going through dads things She always has the cup hanging from her mouth. I guess she thinks she's one of the dogs.Acting silly

I know, I know, Mckenna turned 9 months on the 28th but I'm desperately trying to catch up :) She has been hialrious this month. She learned to shake her head in attempts to say "no." Madisyn and her brush their hair every night together...another post on that, it's so cute. She also learned how to play keep away. If we ask her for something she will pretend to give it to us, when we try to take it she pulls it back very quick and laughs! She's learned different family members names so if you ask her where that person is she will go look for them. She's been introduced to strawberries, oranges, a bite of a chocolate chip cookie :) among some other things. She loves her swing on hers and Madisyns swing set as well as the ones in the park...which she looks so small in. She says "hi" and you can kind of make out "doggy" through the baby talk. It's been tons of fun!!

8 months

2010-04-10T22:53:00.000-07:00

Right after she pulled herself up. She was so proud of herself she was clapping.
The biter biscuits...nasty little things!

So it's been a really long time since I have updated this blog. I kept meaning to and every time I would sit down to do it, something else would come up! I now, finally, have the chance and have NO idea where to start so I will just start here. It's been awhile since McKenna turned 8 months old but I figured I should not skip a month. She learned to crawl towards the end of 7 months and she learned to pull herself into a standing position this month. She was also introduced to biter biscuits, cheerios and the little puff cereal for babies. She loves them all and loves that she can feed herself!

McKenna is 7 Months old today!!

2010-01-28T11:39:00.001-08:00

McKenna is growing way to fast for us to keep up with. She has the "baby of the family" down pat. She gets anything and everything she wants and if it gets taken away, you better run for the hills. She throws great temper-tantrums and she will test the word "no" from mom, dad, or sister several times before she either gives up or you give in. She is a pro at sitting up and is now working on crawling. Her first tooth popped up January 7th on the bottom front and the one next to it not long after that. She is definitely a mommys girl, which is priceless at times. Mommy is the only one who can put her to sleep at night. When dad tries she cries and pushes away from him toward my direction with the baby talk of....."mamamamamamama." Dad is "dadadadadadada," and everything else for that matter

Madisyns new do

2010-01-28T11:30:00.001-08:00

A friend of mine did my hair the other day and in the midst of it she said she thought a "bob style hair do" would be cute on Madi. I have wanted to do something new with Madisyns hair for a long time but just didn't know what. I trusted her expertise and we went for it. I was, however, a nervous wreck once the locks started falling to the ground. Once she started styling it, I could not believe how cute it looked on her. So.......here is a preview of Madisyn NEW DO!!!!

The dreaded Dr. visit

2010-01-28T11:00:00.000-08:00

Both of the girls had to get their immunizations a few days ago. McKenna had no idea what was about to happen. Madi, on the other hand, was so stressed out the whole visit. Needless to say, everything went as well as can be expected. Madisyn passed her P.E. and the Dr. was impressed with her social skills. She weighed 32lbs and was 38 1/2in. tall. McKenna is in the 50th percentile on weight and height. She also amused the Dr. with her social skills and how active she was. She weighed 18lbs 4oz and was 26 1/4in. long. We are just thankful they both are healthy!

The eye examRight before the immunizations.....a priceless picture :)

After her shots... and McKenna after hers

Woohoo... Goodbye HORRIBLE threes, now onto being four!

2010-01-24T11:41:00.000-08:00

Madisyn turned 4 on January 22nd. We can't even believe how fast the time has gone! She is growing into such a beautiful and bright little girl. We are so proud of our Madi Padi face and excited for the next chapter in her life....PRESCHOOL!!!
For her Birthday on Friday, we took her to see the "Toothfairy" movie. Towards the end she had to go to the bathroom so bad she was literally swaying back and forth in her seat. Every time I would say "okay lets go," she would reply, "no mom I HAVE to see the next part." I thought for sure she would tinkle in her panties but she made it through without an accident and was sooo proud of herself. She also got to spend the night at her Grandmas house which she was thrilled about. Then Saturday was her Birthday party. She had a great Birthday and loved everything about it. Thank you everyone!! She absolutely loved every single gift.
Group picture.

Zach playing rockband and concentrating ever so hard.
Matthew took a whack at it and did very well!
Mckenna playing with her favorite person ever....daddy! She loved all her dress up clothes!

Madisyns Birthday cake. The purse was to big to put on the round and I didn't want to do a 1/4 sheet in fear of to much cake. So there was two cakes.She loved her purse cake!
ROLLERSKATES....oh how we have been wanting these!

Rainy day, or should I say days, blues

2010-01-24T00:11:00.000-08:00

At one point the rain was coming down so hard, our drains were having a hard time keeping up with all the water!

Poor girl wanted to go outside so badly to ride her bike. She knows I love to clean windows oh so much, she decided to steam them up and write on them.

Grumpy face.

I think I can, I think I can....we are working on crawling, look out world!

McKenna loves her playpen. She will sit and play in it for hours!

The two of them are just to cute for words!!!Our little drummer baby! She love, love, loves these drum sticks to Adams rockband. Every time we hand them to her, her eyes light up. If you dare take them away she will throw a major temper-tantrum.

New Years Eve

2010-01-24T00:00:00.000-08:00

Madi playing the drums to Rockband beads hanging from the ears and all.

Christmas Day

2010-01-08T19:22:00.000-08:00

Christmas was so special this year! Madi understood everything that was going on. It was so much fun to see her eyes light up with all the presents, not just from family, but from Santa. There was such magic in the air on that morning and it was such a precious moment!!

AT HOME

Santa brought Madi a bike.

Santa brought McKenna a bouncer.

I think Madi was more excited to get a recorder than a bike. She was screaming and jumping up and down saying "It's like yours dad, I got one like you!!!"

She loved her bouncer and still does.

AUNT NICOLE's and UNCLE CRAIG's

The babies were so much fun to watch together. I think McKenna did all the smiling for both Zoe and herself.

AUNT JANELS and UNCLE RICH'S HOUSE

She could hardly wait to open her gifts. She helped pass out gifts and rounded everyone into the room so she could start.

Kenners got the cutest hat from Aunt Janel and Uncle Rich.
Madi with all her bows and ribbons....gotta love her :)

Christmas Eve

2010-01-08T18:55:00.001-08:00

We had tons of fun. The girls had a blast opening all their gifts. They got tons of things. Madi was so excited to get a makeup kit from her aunt "sissy" and uncle Nick. Mckenna pretty much liked eating the paper.

Madi Entertaining McKenna.

2009-12-18T10:01:00.000-08:00

We told Madi to go crazy one night, this is what McKenna thought of it...

5 Months

Mckenna and Aunt Staci

McKenna @ 5 Months.

McKenna is getting big so fast. She has been rolling back and forth, she loves to play with her feet and talks to her hands. She thinks her daddy and big sister are hilarious.

McKenna's First Thankgiving

2009-12-18T09:40:00.000-08:00

Rolling Over

2009-12-18T09:28:00.000-08:00

It's rare that you get to capture a "first" on video. I just had to share this with everyone. This is McKenna rolling from her belly to her back on Nov. 11, 2009.

HALLOWEEN

2009-11-08T16:27:00.000-08:00

Carving Pumpkins

Madi did not like the guts. Mommy had to finish pulling them out.

However, McKenna liked the guts.....she tried to eat them!

She wanted stars

The finished product

Dads Haunted House

Moms Witch

Snow White and her Apple

Later that night, after baths. I left Mckenna upstairs in our bathroom so she could talk to herself in the mirror. I put Madi to bed and took dirty laundry downstairs. When Adam got out of the shower he called down to me and asked if I had put Kenna on her stomach. I, of course, didn't.....she rolled over all by herself!!!!

First Disneyland trip

2009-11-04T23:23:00.000-08:00

We decided this time around, let's do things we don't normally do or see. We did just that and had a blast.

You know your little girl is growing up when she's not afraid of the giant puppets lurking about. We got pictures with Pooh and Rabbit, but, she was most excited to see Tiger! Who isn't.

McKennas first Disneyland ride and Madi's first Mark Twain ride

Madi first ROLLERCOASTER ride, The Matterhorn, and boy was she thrilled!

Madi's castle shot

We all just fell in love with these pumpkins. The gal had some talent!

My cuddle bug

Home Grown Pumpkins!

2009-11-03T13:24:00.000-08:00

My dad decided to grow pumpkins at his moms ranch house after a few failed attempts at his own house. The result.....over 30 different sized pumpkins, from gourds to cinderella pumpkins. The largest one he grew was 55 lbs and 1 oz! He did all of this for his Madisyn. She is pretty lucky to have such a great POP!

Oak Glen and Pumpkin Patch fun!!

2009-11-03T13:13:00.000-08:00

Pictures I love

2009-10-16T09:50:00.000-07:00

AHHHHH Television

2009-10-16T00:49:00.000-07:00

Thank Heaven for "Baby Einstein." That pretty much sums it up. When you have a fussy baby on your hands and nothing will make her happy, plop her in front of the T.V. Will it fry her brain?... Probably, but at least there is peace in the house for a half hour.

2009-10-16T00:30:00.000-07:00

I made Seven Layer Gratin which has tons of yellow squash and zucchini and a puree of artichoke hearts ,cheeses, cream and seasoning, you know....everything your typical child won't eat but you make them sit there and try it. Well, I put the bowl in front of her, expecting the whining I get almost every night, NOTHING!!! I didn't think anything of it just knowing that it was coming any second, the whine. As I'm dishing out my plate I ask Adam and Madi how it is and they tell me it's "very good". "GOOD" a word that is not in my daughters vocab when it comes to some veggies. I turn around and Madi has almost devoured her entire bowl of Seven Layer Gratin!! Is it a full moon outside...*Look out the window* nope, Have I died and gone to Heaven...*pinch* nope. I am still here in the house of constant chaos but one good thing....Madi ate all of her Seven Layer Gratin and asked for seconds!!! All is well tonight......we'll see how tomorrow is.

Talking up a storm with Daddy

2009-10-15T21:46:00.000-07:00

YEA!!!!! I finally got a video to work. Adam and McKenna will sit forever and talk to eachother this way. You think a guy will never make a fool of themselves......until they have a baby, then it all breaks loose.

3 Months Old!!

2009-10-15T21:32:00.001-07:00

I know....I am way behind on posting. Three Months Old, no smiles this time just her serious face but she is still my cutie patootie.

My Little Photographer

2009-10-09T12:42:00.000-07:00

While at the Drs. office, waiting to be called in, Madisyn decides she has to go potty. When the child has to go SHE HAS TO GO! So we go tinckle and while in the room she looks at me, it's only been 15 minutes, and says she has to go potty. "AGAIN!" I asked. She then lets me know she's just joking. By the way, the Drs appt was good (if there ever are good Drs. appts.) Madi was being her talkative and witty self that Dr. Mailander and the nurses just got a kick out of her. (Of course beforehand she had an emotional meltdown because she didn't want to get shots when we were only going in for her ear!) Well... it didn't stop there. In the car, on the way home, Madi tells me she has to go potty. I told her I don't understand why she always has to go tinckle and she said because she drinks water. I said "Mommy drinks just as much water as you, if not more, and I don't have to tinckle nearly as much as you." I'm looking at her in the rearview mirror as I 'm saying this and she stops what she's doing, looks up at me ever so slowly and says "Because Mom, WATER makes pee and I drink A LOT of water." I'm not sure where she gets her sarcasm.... maybe I do....I'm thinking from her dad :)

She loves loves loves to take pictures and have pictures taken of her. Who knew, my serious, not smiling at all for the camera baby would turn into such a photogenic little 3 year old. Every time I whip out the camera she wants a picture taken of herself. It doesn't matter if she looks like she climbed out of a pig pen (what kind of mom would I be if I didn't take these pictures) or all dressed up in sparkels and frills, we have to take at least one picture a day.

Where do they come up with it?

2009-09-13T15:50:00.000-07:00

So we were all driving to my moms house the other day. She was having a bad day so I offered to cook everyone dinner. We were on the way there and going through the Canyon the baby started to get fussy. I had just fed her before we left so I knew she wasn't hungry but apparently Madi thought differently:

Madi- "Mom, McKennas hungry"
Mom- "No I don't think she's hungry, she just doesn't want to sit"
Madi- "No mom I fink her's hungry. You maybe need to feed her again."
Dad- "Why don't you feed her?"
Madi-"I can't"
Dad-" Why not?"
Madi- "Because I'm not a mom."
Dad- "Oh, so only Moms can feed babies?"
Madi- "Yeah, from there boobie fings (is how she says things) from the milk"
Dad- "And where does the milk come from?"
Madi- "They cut them and pour the milk in them."
At this point we were both laughing silently
Dad-" They cut them?!"
Madi-"Yeah, and then the baby bites the mommy and milk comes out."
Dad- " Well, you kind of have the idea but I don't think they cut them and the babies don't bite for the milk to come out "
Madi- "Well then how does the milk come out of the hole." (Almost sarcastically as if saying you explain it better dad)

Then daddy explained it to her and she kind of got it.....Seriously though, where do they come up with this stuff?

My Little Beauty Queen

2009-09-10T13:51:00.000-07:00

I think we might have a future Beautician on our hands !!! She loves to do her hair, her makeup (trust me I will have another post for that one) and painting her nails :/

She also has to wear dresses or skirts that twirl, if it doesn't, she will not wear it. Heaven forbid we even try to get a pair of shorts or capris on. She protests and says she will look like a boy.....WE DON"T WANT THAT!

Johns Incredible Pizza

2009-09-10T13:43:00.000-07:00

So we decided to eat somewhere fun with Madi for a change. We went to Johns Incredible Pizza and she had a blast. We took her to play the games and they also have a few rides there. She loved this particular ride, a roller coaster on the screen and the seat would move up and down and bump around as she watched. Her face in the first picture says it all. We probably stood at this ride for a good 15 minutes while she rode it over and over again......forget playing the games :)

We all had fun, even though it was crazy busy.

The Dreaded 2 Month Visit.....Time for Vaccines

2009-09-10T13:36:00.000-07:00

Dr. Mailander doing a brief physical on McKenna

Big Sister watching and waiting for the dreaded event. She was so scared for her baby sister and tried to console her every way possible. It was precious.

Daddy making her happy before they bring on the pain. She loves when he tickles her feet.

I hate this part!!! :(

McKenna was exhausted after the Dr visit. Final Score for 2 Months......12 lbs 14oz and 23 inches long. Not bad.

I'm 2 Months Old.....Hooray!!!!

2009-08-30T14:00:00.000-07:00

Play time

2009-08-25T12:37:00.000-07:00

Over the past few weeks, McKenna has started to notice Lucy a lot more. Every time she sees Lulu she gets so excited. She happily screams, kicks her feet and "coos" at her. Lucy of course adores her as well. She is my second little mommy. When the baby starts to cry she is the first in the room or the first one to get me. We love our Lucy!

Sleepy time

2009-08-25T12:30:00.000-07:00

McKenna was taking a nap and Lucy decided she would take one with her.

The "Maker" and The Burp Face

2009-08-25T12:21:00.001-07:00

I was in the kitchen making dinner a few nights ago when Madi runs in, her princess cape in front of her. She says to me "mommy mommy look I'm a Maker." I looked at her and said "You mean a Baker" and she says "Yeah." It was pretty cute.

That same night I was burping McKenna and this is the face she always gives when we burp her. I think it's always adorable so I had to share it with everyone.

She finally slept through the night!!

2009-08-25T11:33:00.000-07:00

So, we had an off night with McKenna last Thursday. No matter what we did she was not a happy camper. I could tell she had a belly ache by the way she would tense up. I tried to cuddle her, burp her, rub her belly. She didn't want any of those so I took her for a drive and that didn't work. On the way home from the drive, I called Adam to warm up a bottle because I needed a break. He fed her and in the middle of her bottle she let it out, farts and all. She was quite content after that.
We swaddled her with these neat blankets we found at Target and she slept through the night for the first time!!!! She fell asleep about 2:00am and slept until 9:30 am. Okay I know some of you are thinking, that's not sleeping through the night, but trust me for this house hold it is. McKenna and even Madi, when she was a baby, woke every 3-4 hours to eat.

Daycare Blahs

2009-08-20T10:33:00.000-07:00

So I am at home because of the new baby but we still thought it was important that Madi see her friends some days of the week at Ms. Anns. Well we let her go last week, on Wed and Thurs. She was so happy to see her best friend Erin, who came Thurs. She told us stories of how they painted each others nails and played outside. Well here comes Friday and her dad and I notice a spot on her chest. I didn't think anything of it at the time. On Sunday we went to Disneyland and standing in line that's when I noticed it. She had three spots on her face, three on her chest, three on the left arm, and two on the right arm. It dawned on me.....RINGWORM!!!!!!! Adam asked if I was sure and I told him I was positive. So we left Disneyland and went and bought antifungal cream and Oust surface sanitizer, we pretty much cleaned every surface of the house, and called the Dr. Sure enough the Dr. told us yes it was ringworm and what we were doing for treatment was perfect. Adam made sure to tell me that I better not die on him because he would not have thought about it being rinworm. She could have gotten it anywhere, yes, but I have no doubts she got it from one of the newer kids at daycare.

My Sleeping Beauties

2009-08-20T10:25:00.000-07:00

A few days ago both of the girls actually took long enough naps so I could get some chores done, and, take these pictures. I know it's not always going to be this way but it was nice to have some time to myself.

So Cute

2009-08-20T10:15:00.000-07:00

Madi was showing McKenna all of her toys and what they did. It was so cute, after Madi would say something, McKenna would "coo" back at her. They were talking to each other.

She is always all smiles

2009-08-20T10:03:00.000-07:00

We finally filled the stroller

2009-08-20T09:53:00.000-07:00

We always knew we would have at least two kids, so when we were in the market for a new stroller, we went with a double stroller. Now mind you, this stroller purchase was about two years ago. We've used it a ton with Madi and were always asked the question, "Where is the other baby." Well, at last the other baby is finally here to fill the other side! Aren't they to cute?

Some of McKenna's Firsts

2009-08-19T18:51:00.001-07:00

Our 4 Year Anniversary!!

2009-08-19T11:49:00.000-07:00

On Friday August 14th, we celebrated our 4 year anniversary. We have known each other since high school and have had many ups and downs, but what couple doesn't. He is the greatest husband and father of our two little girls. I am glad to share my life with such an awesome guy and wouldn't trade one minute of it. His sister, Nicole, watched Madisyn and Mckenna for us so we could finally go on our first date since Mckenna was born. We had so much fun together as always. Thank you Nicole and Craig for watching our girls, we all love you guys!

The many ways she can sleep

2009-08-14T13:32:00.000-07:00

My favorite has to be the one of her on Adams arm. She sneezed and as she did she fell to the side on his arm and eventually fell asleep!! I wish I could sleep as sound as she does where ever, when ever.

Madi's first Haircut

2009-08-14T13:19:00.000-07:00

Madisyn had her hair trimmed for the first time ever!!! My dad gets his haircut from the neighbors daughter, Jennifer. Madi and I tagged along to see how much she would charge for Madi. She said she would do it for nothing but I, of course, was going to give her something. As my dad got his haircut Madi and I went to my parents to get some money and the camera. On our way down the street Madi runs after me and says "Mom, are you sure it's not gonna hurt." It took some convincing and her to see Pop get his cut before she would. She did Great!! and the best part, her hair is even in the back now.....Yea!

My Hubby

2009-08-14T13:14:00.000-07:00

Adam is the best dad in the world!! He loves just sitting with his two girls in his arms. Every time we go to my moms house Indie can't wait for him to sit down. He knows he has a lap to lay in, even though he has tons of laps to choose from, he chooses Adam every time.

Madisyns best friend

2009-08-14T13:03:00.000-07:00

Madi is getting her nails painted while her friend Indie watchs on

Madi being silly with Grandma

Madisyn adores her Grandma. Every time we head off for Grandmas house she gets so excited and is the first to be ready and the first to be in the car. Even when she falls asleep in the car somehow she knows, when we pull up to Grandmas house, that we are their. She wakes up right away, jumps out of the car, and runs up to the door saying "Grandma, Grandma, Grandma" the whole way. She never wants to leave Grandmas house and wants nothing to do with mom or dad while she is their. Madi is so lucky to have such a great Grandma!!! We love you alot.

McKenna meets her Great Grandpa Jim

2009-08-14T12:52:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago we met my Grandpa and his wife Ann up at the cabin in Big Bear. We were all so excited to see eachother as this was the first time they both met McKenna. We all had a blast up there hanging around the cabin, eating dinner, which was delicious, and just getting away from the heat. We love you both!!

Zoe's Baby Naming Ceremony

2009-08-11T17:12:00.001-07:00

On August 1st, our new niece, Zoe, had her Baby Naming Ceremony. Zoe is the daughter of my brother in law, Justin and his wife, Emily. This was the very first time we were able to meet each others baby and it was so exciting. Zoe was born June 24th, 2009 and McKenna was born 4 days later, June 28th, 2009. It's going to be fun watching them grow up together!

My poor Lula Bell

2009-08-10T22:26:00.000-07:00

This is Lucy after the groomer

This is Lucy after Adam, her cute face is gone!

So Adam decided he was going to give Lucy, our schnauzer, a haircut. I always have taken her to a groomer but he didn't want me to this time around. He said he felt pretty confidant that he could do a good of a job as them. I should have listened to my instincts.

Do they look alike?

2009-08-10T12:04:00.000-07:00

This is Madisyn
This is McKenna

Madi thought the picture of herself was actually McKenna. I guess that answers it.

Ode to the Joys of being a mom

2009-08-10T11:49:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, we came home from the Mall and the neighbors were out. They wanted to see Mckenna but I had to feed her first so I told them I would bring her over once we were done. I had no idea this was going to be such an ordeal. First, we came in and I sat on the chair to feed her. As she was eating she decided to poop too. So, as I sit her up to burp her I feel something wet on my pants, it leaked through her diaper!. I take her upstairs and lay her on her changing table. I proceed to change the diaper and she conveniently decides to pee while her diaper is off. Of course it goes through the little pee pad onto her changing pad and all over the bottom of her shirt. As I sit her up, to take her shirt off, she spits up. So, now I put her on the floor, put a diaper on her, and change the table padding. I bend down to pick her up and notice she peed again and it leaked through her diaper again! So, I put a new diaper on her, pick her up, sit in the rocking chair, and continue to feed her. I again, sit her up to burp her and she projectile vomits all over me, all over the chair, and all over the floor. Being a mom is sometimes not to pretty.

Three year olds, ugh!

Madisyn, our three year old, knows just how to push moms buttons. Her room always looks like a tornado ripped through it and every night I am cleaning the same toys up. I told her that when she is done with one toy to put it away before she gets another one out. Apparently, she decided to just start fresh in a new room. I went upstairs to get an outfit for Mckenna and all of Madi's play foods were in Mckenna's room. I told her to pick up her toys and put them in her own room. Her response to this was " But mom, my room is too messy. If I do dat (is how she says that) I won't be able to play." You gotta love them.

Here She Is.
