Sweet Sisters

We took this after church on Easter Sunday in Scottsboro. Madalyn and Mackenzie love each other very much they are always wanting to give each other hugs and kisses. One of Mackenzie's favorite things to do right now is to give kisses- whether it is on the mouth or blowing them with her hand).

I love this picture!

The First of Many.....

Madalyn had lots of egg hunts this year- she had a total of 4. This was the first one of the season and she was ready to go. It was at school on the playground. She made the bucket she is carrying with her class at school.

Dyeing Easter Eggs- Madalyn

Madalyn felt like she was a pro at the egg dyeing this year especially since she had done it the day before at school with her Granna. Madalyn kept trying to tell Mackenzie how to do it and mackenzie would love and do something silly with the egg adn then Madalyn would laugh. She made lots of different colors and even one egg that had all of the colors it was very beautiful! Madalyn has now been eating the eggs that we dyed and only picks out ones that Mackenzie decorated to eat-which I think is pretty funny. I suppose the artist doesn't want to eat her own work.

Dyeing Easter Eggs- Mackenzie

This was Mackenzie's first time to dye Easter eggs and she had a great time. She did not like to leave the eggs in the dye. She kept taking them out and handing them to me while saying "thereyago!". She thought that it was very funny, especially since her big sister kept laughing whenever she did it. It also took her awhile to out an egg into the cup of dye all by herself it was much more fun to play with them. Only one egg out of the dozen got cracked- Mackenzie threw it on the floor.

A trip to the park

Before the weather got so cold again the girls and I went to the park for an afternoon. We had lots of fun just hanging out, playing, swinging (well Mackenzie did not enjoy this part), watching the big puffy white clouds and even riding our tricycle some. our trip started out as girls only, but Daddy got done at work early and came by to join us for a little bit.

A family picture

Madalyn decided to draw a picture of our family the other morning. It was I think one of her best drawings- the one draw back was that it is on the wall. In fact she drew a whole scene which went from the bottom of our staircase all the way to the top. This was the most detailed section. The person on the far left is Madalyn and then their are three babies (one of those is Mackenzie) I am not sure who the others are she told me they were just some babies. Then there is Me and Garrison is the one on the far right. One interesting thing about this whole incident is that earlier in the week Garrison and I had been watching a show that told us it is easier for kids Madalyn's age to draw on things vertical like the wall and that is part of why it is such a tempting canvas -so needless to say we will be putting an easel in her room to hopefully prevent this from happening again.

Vroom vroom !

Here is Mackenzie with her 1st car! She got it from Granna and Grandpart for her birthday. She is not quite tall enough to "drive" by herself, but she does enjoy having it pushed by someone other than her big sister Madalyn. Madalyn goes a little too fast for her.
