That's for the Weiner

Sunday afternoon I dropped Devyn off at his mother's- Tiya had gone to her house the night before. Mckenna and I went back to my house and got something to eat. I didn't have to drop Mckenna off till 7:00 p.m.

Mckenna says, "Daddy, I don't want to go to Mommy's. I want to stay with you another night. Can I stay with you Daddy, please?" (puppy dog eyes and everything)

"Honey," I told her. "You have school tomorrow." Not that it mattered really because I have them during the week normally anyway but I was kind of anticipating a quiet, relaxing evening of winding down. Winding down usually follows the weeks that I have the kids 5 straight days. LOL

"Daddy, can I call Mommy and ask her if I can stay?"

I really don't do well under the pressure of puppy dog eyes. "Yes Honey, call your Mommy."

So Mckenna spends the rest of the evening being my little shadow, following me around the house and lending me a hand cleaning up a little from the weekend. I needed to start a load of laundry so Mckenna is handing me my clothes to put in the washer. She picks up a pair of boxers and after handing them to me explains her understanding of boxers.

"Boy's wear boxers but, my Mommy wears them too." she says. (I'm assuming for bed, although I can't be sure.)

"Is that right?" I reply.

"Yes and Jordan wears them too." she adds.

Using both of her hands, she forms them into a big circle in front of her and says, "they're funny- they have a big hole in the front."

Not quite sure where we are going with this I say, "yes, they do."

"That's for the weiner." she says very matter-of-fact.

"Uh... yeah honey. Yes it is."

We finished putting the laundry in, put "Herbie" on and laid down on the couch. She asked if she could lay on my arm "because she says she loves laying on my arm." So I tucked my arm under her head, she cuddled up next to me and lasted about 20 minutes before falling asleep. I finished watching "Herbie" by myself. :)

Happy Birthday Mckenna!!

Mckenna turned a big 6 years old on Friday. We all got up and had breakfast with Mckenna for her birthday. We had scrambled eggs (and ketchup for Mckenna) and toast with apple butter.

I took Mckenna, Tiya, Devyn and Ceidre to a local restaurant for Mckenna's Birthday dinner. It was a buffet style - all you can eat - restaurant. The kids like it because they can eat all the shrimp, crab legs and sushi they can fit into their stomachs. Our waitress even brought a little dessert plate for our birthday girl and we all sang happy birthday to her.


After dinner we went back to the house and had cake and ice cream (because you can't have enough sweets on your birthday) and Mckenna opened up her gifts. I think she had a pretty good birthday.

On Saturday we continued the celebration. My Dad came out and we all went to the bowling alley. We ordered pizza, beer and soda and got through a game and a half in two hours. We all had a great time. Devyn and Mckenna entertained us all with their dancing while we bowled.

After bowling we took the kids to Mountasia and let them play some arcade games. It was quite a busy weekend.
