Donuts and Crayons

Sounds fun and exciting right??? NOPE! I should have known the minute Makayla woke up with a her witch chuckle, that the day was going to be, well, just one of THOSE days. Around noon, she climbed the kitchen counter into the cupboard that I hid the powdered donuts in. She's notorious for sneeking food, but never in a million years did I think she would go to those extremes to get it! So I found her sitting in a chair, her blankets surrounding her and powdered sugar all of her face. You're probably thinking... so what, she had a lil snack. Well for all of you who don't know, Makayla is CELIAC. Meaning she's allergic to Gluten (wheat, barley, rye.. etc). So I waited, and waited, and waited, and so far she hasn't thrown up.. but that doesn't usually hit till the middle of the night.



Onto the crayons.... It was about 5:15 and I was working on dinner, cutting up chicken, cooking rice, etc. and my last daycare parent came to pick up their kid. I walk out of the kitchen to get the door and find crayon swirls from one end of the wood floor to the other. I'm not even kidding.. she had a crayon, her brother had a crayon and they were going to town on the floor. This had only been going on for a max of 5 minutes! So she got to clean that mess up.. it's amazing what a magic eraser will take off, and she didn't have to apply much pressure at all. In fact, she was quite good at scrubbing, I should put that girl to work!!! :) Enjoy the pics of Makayla cleaning up her mess... I hope she learned her lesson!

GINORMOUS

That's the big debat at our house currently... I said yes, and WIKI confirmed it. One for me zero for Josh.

Now it's off to bed!

NEW HATS!!!

I just have to start by saying.. COUSIN EMILY IS AWESOME!! She alway sends the kids Christmas gifts and this year the kids got Chicago Bears Hats (for all of you who don't know.. Josh has been a Bears fan forever). I about died when I opened the box, Mason's hat is the toddler version of Josh's! Of course Josh thinks that's the coolest thing ever! THANKS EMILY!!!

My lil monster

Well, I believe Mason has set his own new years resolution (or so it seems). He has yet to go one day without a cut, scrape,bruise, bump, etc! Here are a few pics I took last night of his attempt at feeding himself, boy was he proud of himself!
