The Princess and the Wicked Witch

As I was making Kayla's lunch today I told her to get into the fridge and choose an apple. She pulled one out and asked "Is this one poisoned?" I chuckled and reassured her that no it was not poisoned to which she responded "Because the witch poisons princesses apples."
My Princess!

Crazy Eights

It seems in my life that every day is the same but when we are busy we are busy. We had one of those weekends. I wish I could figure out how to do my pictures, maybe someday!
Saturday was Makylle's eighth birthday and we had a weekend full of fun.

Friday she had a friend party, fifteen girls for two hours. Jaron thought he could hide in our room but I needed help so he stepped up. He even helped some girls make bracelets.
We started the night with pizza, expecting the girls to eat more we over bought so I am still eating leftover pizza today (like I need it, but I'm not complaining) Makylle wanted to make doorknob hangers out of foam so that was our next activitity and then all the girls made bracelets. We opened presents and had cake and icecream. All and all the night was nice with no catastophes and a deep breath when it was all done.


During the party Grandma and Grandpa took Kayla to Build a Bear for her birthday which is next week. She made the cutest pink monkey and named it Chi Chi (I had a monkey named Chee Chee when I was a kid that went everywhere with me, so thanks to my mom Chi Chi is alive and well again, just pink) I have to laugh at Kayla, she has such an imagination it truly cracks me up all day. Anyway, I have never seen a toy go potty so often and even have an accident that she had to clean up. I asked my mom why she chose a poopy monkey for my daughter! The monkey is now potty trained and goes everywhere with us, sleeps with Kayla and has to be dressed and hair done and jacket on because it is cold and the list goes on and on. It has been fun.
On Saturday it was Makylle's birthday so she was in charge. We had pancakes for breakfast and went to the park for lunch. It seemed like a good idea however it was so windy we had to hold our lunch down and it did not help that my allergies have decided to make an appearance. Makylle had fun and that was the point. We came home watched High School Musical 3 that she just got that day. She chose breakfast for dinner (hashbrowns, sausage and eggs) and a cream pie for dessert (yummy). We played Monopoly Jr. that she received from a friend. Makylle lost and I won. Jaron had to rub it in that I could not let her win on her birthday and I had to remind him he was second just 6 dollars behind me.
We had a fun weekend and I can't believe my girl is eight! It went by so fast! We love her tremendously and are very grateful to have her in our lives.

Not right now

One of Kayla's favorite things to play is mommy. She will be mommy and I am Kayla. Today while she was mommy and I was Kayla this is how our conversation went.
Kayla "Kayla ask me a question."
Me "O.K., what question"
Kayla "Mommy will you play with me?"
Me "Mommy will you play with me?"
Kayla "Not right now, later"
Did that ever make me feel bad. So today instead of the little time I would have spent with her I played with her all morning until nap time. We played littlest petshops, mommy and Kayla (of course) and princesses. For a good part of the day I was Belle and she was Cinderella, she never forgot to call me Belle and she made sure to correct me if I called her Kayla by accident (which I did quite a bit.)
It was a lot of fun. Unfortunately nothing really got done today so tomorrow she will hear the A-typical response "not right now, later"

Anyone out there?

I got this from Marian (thanks) and thought it would be a fun way to start blogging. I of course don't have any followers or my friend list set up, but anyone I know out there who finds me I will be so happy to do this for you.

So, here's how it works: the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year a handmade gift from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well. Before you leave your comment, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going (or copy and paste like I did). Then come back, let me know you're going to play and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift! Come and play!
