Makinley enjoying her fruit snacks. She loved being outdoors on our day together
Daxton was raking leaves to surprise Papa when he got home.
Makinley and Daxton made me a couple of birthday cakes with their playdough!!
I was fortunate to have another "play date" with Daxton and Makinley on Tues. Monday night they both slept over. They started out on the floor in our room on some mattresses. By about 2 am Dax was already in our bed between Rog and I. Makinley luckily stayed on the floor all night and didn't wake until 7:30am. The three of us were all in bed together watching cartoons for a little bit then I got up and made them breakfast. I sent them downstairs to make a hut while I made some playdough for them.(I have an awesome recipe if anyone wants it). Can you believe for 1.5 hours they entertained themselves with that playdough, rolling pins and cookie cutters?Not much usually holds a 3 year olds attention for that long but it was awesome. I was downstairs getting ready for the day and I heard them yell "Mimah, come here!!" I ran upstairs and they both were hiding behind the countertop. They stood up and with hands in the air yelled " Happy Birthday." It was so adorable!!! They each had made a birthday cake out of the playdough and had put their cookie cutters on the top of it for decorations. You can see in the picture what I mean. It just melted my heart!!
After they played there we walked to the park with the dogs. Oh what a joy that was. They each had to hold a leash. They played at the park for about an hour and we came home and played in the back yard. Dax was trying to help by raking leaves. Makinley didn't want to. She just wanted to eat her fruit snakes. Well, we called Papa and asked him if he wanted to meet us for lunch so we met him at Carl Jr. so the kids could play on the big gym they have there. Again, they had a blast. Makinley didn't want to go home so she spent the rest of the day with us.
Can I just say how much fun I had? Those two are quite entertaining. What a fun age they are. I love them both so much and I'm so looking forward to our next "play date." When Gentry gets just a little bit older I'll take her too. I need to get with Brayden and take him on a one on one date also. My life is centered around my grandkids. They are the joy of my life. I love their hugs and kisses so much. Thanks Dax and Kin for making my day!!!
