Diving for Rings

This is Mackenzie diving for ring in the 6 feet of water all by herself, she has learned how to kick hard enough to make herself go down. She doesn't need us helping her by pushing her down. She loves swimming so much. I don't know what we are going to do when the pool gets cold, knowing her she will be swimming as long as she can.

Mommies Little Helper

While I was cleaning the house, Mackenzie has been wanting to help with the house cleaning, I hope it last. We have a little vacuum that she will use to vacuum the kitchen and the hallway, yes it really does work it is not a play vacuum. After she vacuum she told me she had to lay down and rest because this was a lot of hard work and she was tired. I told her I know. While she was resting she watched tv and had a glass of lemonade. An hour later she comes back to help with the mopping. She likes using the swiffer. She will wet a spot then mop and then she ask can I give it a little squirt again. So now I have someone to help me clean, now if she would only clean her playroom with out me having to tell her.

Secret Mission

 
 

While I was fixing dinner the other night, Mackenzie was on a secret mission and me not paying to much attention let her keep playing. I could hear her in the background playing and talking to her stuffed animals. Which she does often and if I try to talk to her she stops so I did not want to bother her because she was playing and having so much fun. When I came around the corner I found her in the hall closet, I did not know she was in there, and of all the places for her to play she picks the smallest spot in the whole entire room. She does have to 2 big playrooms that she can play in, but I guess when you are on a secret mission you have to be very quite and stay out of site as much as possible.

Games We Play!!!

Mackenzie likes playing card games usually go fish, since that is all she knows. Well last night her daddy decided to teach her a new card game called War (the person with the larger number wins the cards)and I think 52 pick up. So this morning Mackenzie wakes grabs her cards and ask me if I want to play WARTHOG! I said, what game did daddy teach you, she said WARTHOG! I told her I did not know that game so she explained how the person with a 9 wins and the other person has a 5. So I knew she was talking about WAR or were I come from we call it Battle.

Another new game at our house. The Chicken Game!!
The other night we had chicken for dinner and Todd took out the wishbone. So he asked Mackenzie if she wanted to pull it apart and make a wish. Mackenzie got the bigger half. A couple of days later Mackenzie comes to me and ask if we can play the chicken game. I said we don't have a chicken game, she said yea you know the game I played with daddy, how you pull the bone apart and see who wins.

What games do you play at your house. Who knows what new game we will come up with next.
