Sister's Tea Party

Show me how this tea party thing goes.Oh! Is that how it works?I know how to do that! Watch!

I told you I knew how to do this.
Such a pro! :)

Another Gap

Well you guessed it! MaKieley is missing another tooth! What a production it was to get that thing out! The tooth has been loose since Marley was born (just a little then - and has become progressivley looser)! It has been so loose in the past couple of weeks that I was afraid it was going to fall out at school and be lost like the first one! I told her at the beginning of Spring Break that the tooth was coming out before she went back to school - it did not matter if I had to pull it or she pulled it!
TODAY WAS THE DAY!
Tomorrow she is to go back to school so after church I told her she had until 2pm to get it out herself but if it was not out at 2 either John or I were going to pull it. 2pm came and went and the tooth was still in her mouth. I had such a migraine and I was not sure I could do it but we made it through. She squealed and squalled and tried to make her self throw up and covered her mouth and put her head down and tried to get out of my lap and made every excuse she could think of! I'm sure you can see the pattern. I finally told her all I was going to do was put the dental floss around her tooth and then we would talk about what to do next. I guess she is like her mommy in that way! I want to talk before acting! I'm sure it drives John crazy most of the time! Anyway we put the floss around the tooth and then talked about how we were going to pull the tooth. MaKieley wanted me to pull the tooth but because I was feeling so sick to my stomach - due to my headache - I was not sure I could get through it. I motioned to John to stand behind MaKieley and for him to pull the floss. WELL he did and it popped right out into my lap! It was finally done! She screamed - in a high C my mom said - and then she was totally silent and asked if it came out. I showed it to her and she ran off to see her gap!
Such Drama! I'm told I caused drama very similar when I was her age!

Happy St. Patty's Day

We decided that during Spring Break we were going to have a movie night and show MaKieley {and Marley :)} some of the movies we watched as children. So we also used it as a St. Patrick's Day Celebration (of sorts). We rented Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Mary Poppins. MaKieley loved them both and already wants to watch them again! Marley sat and watched more than I expected her to but eventually fell asleep. It was a great family night! We do not get those enough!

On The Go!

Marley crawled today! She went about four hands forward! It was not far but it was an accomplisment! She normally just goes backwards or wants to walk.

A New Word

Marley's newest word is Bye Bye! It sounds so cute! I will try to record it soon and post it so you can all hear it!

Another Conversation with MAKIELEY!

This morning MaKieley was sitting in the kitchen eating her breakfast and she asked me the following:
MaKieley: Hey Mom! Doesn't that sound like that song?
Me: Does what sound like what song?
MaKieley: The washing machine (dishwasher)!
Me: What song MaKieley?
MaKieley: I don't remember the exact tune but the one that sings God is an Awesome God. You know that song!
Me: hmm...I guess it does.
(So what else could we do but sing the song to the beat of the dishwasher!)
MaKieley and Me: God is an Awesome God he reigns from heaven above with wisdom power and might our God is an Awesome God......

It is so sweet when we get glimpses of what our children are thinking about and God is in those thoughts!
