Temper Tantrum

It is very hard to take pictures of Makell right now because she learned that she can look at the pictures on the camera and she LOVES to look at pictures. Every time you get the camera out, she runs over and says "See, see, see" until you give it to her. If you want to take a picture you have to be very sneaky.

Makell also leaves to color but only with markers. She won't really touch crayons but she will color for a long time with markers. A few weeks ago I left her alone to color and when I came to get her, I found she had colored ALL over her arm. I thought it was funny and I wanted to take a picture so I got out the camera. It was right before bed time and she was extra tired so when she asked to see the pictures on the camera and I didn't agree to her request, she threw the biggest fit. In an effort to get the shot I wanted, I got a temper tantrum instead. Take a peek:

The pouty face (Notice the lovely marker on her arm)

Running away

Calming down a bit

Right before I gave in and let her "see"


All for a picture of the marker on her arm :)

Happy 4th!

Flag cake balls anyone?

Ice Cream

Makell had her first ice cream cone a few weeks ago and we discovered that she loves the ice cream but does not like the cake cones. She took several bites of the cone, then spit it out and said it was yucky. We did learn last weekend though that she prefers waffle cones to ice cream. :)

Makell has had ice cream before but this was her first cone for just her. She looks happy to be eating it!


She was watching Tangled and she wouldn't look at me for the picture. This was apparently the best she could do.

Infested!

We recently had an ant infestation that was yucky! Nick woke up one morning with an ant on his face and a bite on his lip so he checked out the window and this is what we found. Thankfully he had just sprayed so most of them were dead or dying but we were so grossed out! Our bed is right up against this window and there were TONS of these lovely ants. We shook out the curtains that are also right by the window and tons more dead ones fell out. Nick vacuumed them up, sprayed several more times and in a few days they stopped coming in. All in all, not a pleasant experience.

New Skills

Makell can count to 15!! It's the cutest thing you've ever heard. Just wanted to share. :)

Huh?

So if you ask Makell what her name is she will tell you it is Bo. I have no idea where that comes from but it is pretty funny and every time she says it, I think, huh? Sometimes I wonder about her!

Because every post needs a picture, here she is blowing bubbles in her cute Sunday dress.

Tangled

It's offical...Makell is obssessed with Tangled. I thought this didn't happen until they were much older than her, but I guess not. We bought the movie, watched it twice and now watching "Horsey" (as she calls it) is all she wants to do. First thing in the morning, when we come from from anywhere, before bed, right after it's over; she wants to watch it ALL THE TIME! Good thing it's a cute movie.
