Update time

We had a fabulous weekend up north at Makena's grandparents house!  We started out leaving early on Wednesday to beat the snow.  Then on Thursday we had a very nice Thanksgiving with family.  Everybody got to meet Matthew.  I also enjoyed being somewhere other than my house.  It DID get a little too loud for my liking when all the kids were running around. It was also hard for us since Makena wants to play with the big kids, but can't play as rough as them.  She's just too little yet.  Of course Grandma and Grandpa really wouldn't want her playing on a cement floor in the basement and getting hurt either.  She had a really hard time when we wouldn't let her go in the basement with everyone else.  Thankfully some of the girls came upstairs and played dolls with her.  It was quiet, she was entertained, and it was good for her to play with older kids.

The rest of the weekend was pretty uneventful.  We played with her toys most of the weekend and we were able to go outside on Saturday.  We left right after lunch on Sunday.

Monday was a day of playing with all her birthday presents!  She officially likes her Mrs. Potato Head the most.  Who would have thought?  She also really likes her Tag Junior.  She calls it her robot.  Everything is getting used though.  She is having a blast with new things!  I was also able to leave the house in the evening to get some grocery and Christmas shopping done.  What a relief.  I am usually done by now.  I still have the parents and 1 nephew left.  I plan to get those done today (online)

Yesterday we did lots of art projects and I even took out the glitter glue.  We were both a mess when we were done.  Let's not mention what the table looked like . . .   She even took a 3 1/2 hour nap.  I think it's because she actually ate her lunch for once so she didn't wake up hungry.  She had mac & cheese, with veggies and a clementine for dessert.

Today has been . . . interesting.  She has some 'tude and isn't wanting to eat.  Of course she didn't eat her supper last night but did fine.  Toddler appetites - ugh, they're so frustrating.  Gotta go - someone wants me to play ponies!!
