Brownies

How many licks does it take to get the brownie mix off of the spatuala?

The world will never know- Macie kept dipping it back in the bowl for more before it was ever gone!

Time out funny

A few days ago I put Macie in time out. I set the timer on the oven and said "Macie- when you hear the beep you can get out of the chair." Next thing I know she goes "beep, beep, all done."

Sometimes kids are just to smart for their own good.

Crazy Parade

So they have this parade here every year and it is a more artsy- creative parade- kind of wierd- but free and there are some cool things that you see. There weren't any big floats or anything it was mostly just a bunch of people dressed in these costumes and things. Anyways- we decided to go this year and it was very interesting, but fun. Macie loved it. She liked it so much that even after sitting through the parade for 1 1/2 hours-( I know long parade- and it wasn't even done yet) she didn't want to leave. Here are some pics of some of the crazy things we saw and Macie enjoying herself.

Tennis Anyone???

Church time

Today Macie looked so cute in her dress, I just had to take some pictures. Her hair is really curly too, so I just decided to leave it down and put a headband in- I didn't know how good this would go- but she actually did pretty good with leaving it in. I also think I was so excited because she got this dress as a gift when she was born- so I have been waiting a long time to see this one on her!

The Beach

Yesterday we went to a beach on Lake Erie. It was alot of fun and we had a great time. The weather was perfect- until about 2 1/2 hours into swimming when the beach got closed because of thunder and lightening headed our way. It was good timing though- I think that we were all tuckered out! Macie once again- did not want to stay out of the water. She loves swimming!! Geoff was so good to keep going out with her and playing with her in the water. It was so funny to watch her in the water because she had a hard time walking in it- ya know- the ground isn't level, waves keep coming that are as big as her- and so on. Anyways- she looked like she was drunk. She couldn't walk straight if her life depended on it and she kept taking a dunk under the water when a wave would hit- every time she was about to go under she would make sure and open her mouth really big as if that would help her stay afloat- it did not however help her- it probably just made things worse!! It was really funny though- and don't worry- we were right there next to her the whole time-so she was never under water for to long!!!

Swim time

So we were finally able to pull the pool out. Macie LOVES to swim!! She would go swimming everyday if we would let her. We went over to our friends house and they had their pool set up and we put our pool under their slide on the swingset. Then we also had an elmo sprinkler going for the kids. They loved it!!!! Macie was going crazy. She would run through the sprinkler saying "I'm swimmin' " It was great. She then would go from pool to pool and jump in or belly flop or whatever and would just sit and laugh. To cute! Enjoy the pics and be glad that you don't live in the humidity!!!!!!!!
**Despite what some of the pics may look like- she really was having fun in all of them!!! **
