Playspace

A couple of weeks ago, Mackenzie and I went to Playspace to see what it was all about. It was awesome....it is a children's museum that has all sorts of different things to see and do! Mackenzie had a blast! She loved playing in the toy kitchen, the water, and her favorite thing was the toy computer....looks like Daddy might have a computer buddy on his hands:)

Boo and her Bubble wrap

Boo's favorite part of packing up the old house, has to be the bubble wrap! She loved playing with it! One day she took an entire roll of the bubble wrap, unrolled it, and went to town playing with it! She was none to happy when it was time to put it away!

Boo and her Tupperware

Since the whole house is a wreck, Boo's "Rules" have gone out the window. Usually she is not allowed to play in the kitchen at all, but nowadays, she can pretty much do as she pleases:) She LOVES to play in the tupperware cabinet:) She will take everything out, and throw it, and then put it all back in. On this day she decided that it would be a good idea for her to play INSIDE the cabinet. Poor thing, she kept getting stuck:) She quickly decided that it was more fun to pull the stuff off, and not go in:)

Ok, so it is time to update the blog:)

Sorry for the long delay in updating the blog, but things in the Sellman Household have been CRAAAAZZZYYYYY! First, Greg and I took a long weekend trip to NYC to celebrate our 4 yr. Anniversary. I love the city, and have been there a few times, but Greg had never been! He loved it! We did all the typical tourist stuff like seeing The Empire State Building, Ground Zero, Times Square, etc. My FAVORITE part of the whole trip, was getting to meet Charlie Gibson! I LOVE to watch GMA, so it was the perfect way to spend our last day in NYC:)

We have also been a little busy getting ready for a big move. We have sold our house, and are due to move at the end of this month. So far, Mackenzie has had a blast helping us pack (ah, with her it is more of an unpacking thing:)! She loves to take whatever we just put in the box and take it out and run with it. This past weekend Grammy gave us a huge roll of bubble wrap to use. Well, Booskie decided that she need to unroll the WHOLE roll of wrap, and dance around with it. Yes, I have pictures of this, but the cords to upload the pictures have been packed....so once the move is complete, there will be lots and lots of picture updates:)

Pool Time...again

Boo had a blast playing in her pool this afternoon:)

Thanks A LOT Grammy and Dub!!!!!!

The 1st thing Mackenzie does when she gets to Grammy and Dub's house, is she takes off in search of her favorite toy....a corn popper. Well, today Mackenzie and I went to the store, and we had some spare time, so we strolled through the toy department. All of a sudden, she through a HUGE fit...kicking, screaming, and doing everything in her power to get out of the cart. Since I couldn't figure out what was wrong, I took her out of the cart and put her down....she immediately took off "running" and to my surprise, she found a corn popper! I don't know how she reconized it in the midst of all the toys, but she did. She was so proud of herself, smiling ear to ear and she pushed the corn popper through the store. Needless to say, the corn popper made it home with us:)

1st Haircut

Mackenzie had her 1st haircut today....and she did SO GOOD! She sat like a big girl in the chair while the lady cut her hair. She acted like the Queen.....watching a movie, eating cookies, and having a good time...all while the lady cut her hair:)

Pool Time

Mackenzie and Thomas had a blast in the pool the other day. However, they didn't want to wait to put their bathing suits on before they "dove" in:) We can wait for the weather to be nice so we can pull out our pool again...

Waffle Thief!

This morning, Mackenzie "stole" my waffle right off my plate, and then ran away! She was SO proud of herself:) I let her eat the waffle, which to my surprise, she ate the whole thing!

Like Father....Like Daughter

I guess they were tired...huh?

Field Trip.....almost

One day last week, Wendy and I decided that we should take the kids (Sklyer, Mackenzie, and Thomas) on a field trip to the pet store to see all the animals. Greg and I have taken Mackenzie to a pet store before and she loved it, so I thought it was a great idea. Well, as you can see from the pictures, Mackenzie and Thomas only saw the OUTSIDE of the pet store. When we got there, and walked inside the store, I found out that they sold snakes, so we QUICKLY turned around and headed out the door......sweaty palms and all:) Sorry Mackenzie and Thomas....next time I will call ahead and make sure there are no snakes for sale before we go to another pet store:)

Wipes

Yesterday Mackenzie found something fun to entertain herself with in her room...her wipes! I went to go make snack for her and Thomas, when I noticed there was no noise coming from her room. I stuck my head in to see what they were doing, and Mackenzie had pulled out all her wipes, and was throwing them around:) She was SO proud of herself!

Easter Egg Hunt

On Friday, Mackenzie, Thomas, and I joined our friends Wendy and Skyler for a Easter Egg Hunt at the Park. We got there a little early, so we decided to play on the playground! Thomas and Mackenzie had a blast! They loved playing on the slides, although it seemed to be more fun going up the slide inside of going down:)

When it was time for the Easter Egg Hunt, we sat the kids down next to a pile of eggs. There were too many "big" kids there to let them hunt for eggs by themselves, so we "helped" them find some eggs:)

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Everyone!

Sharing with Daddy

Daddy and Boo shared a popsicle for dessert the other night. She did really well taking turns taking a bite of the popsicle, until she realized that it was all gone! She was not happy at all.....

Chalk...not so tasty....

We had so much fun outside playing with sidewalk chalk the other day:) Mackenzie decided to "taste" it, and quickly learned that it doesn't taste so good. While she was tasting her chalk, Daddy decided to show off his artistic abilities.......and I thought the chalk was for Booskie:)

Boo Loves her Sandbox!

With the weather warming up, Boo gets to spend more and more time outside. The other day, she and Daddy played with the sandbox, exploring the sand. I'm not sure who had more fun.....Boo or Daddy:)

Boo and her Crib

Sometimes in the am, Boo gets to watch her tv from her crib before she goes down for her morning nap. The other day, I went in her room to turn her tv off, and this is how I found her....she was trying to see what Elmo was doing on Sesame Street:)

Outside Time

We spent a good part of the day outside today playing with chalk, toys, and of course, the big red wagon:) Thomas mastered pushing the wagon around, while Mackenzie took a big interest in the chalk.....

Last Gymboree Class

Yesterday was our last Gymboree class for this session. We ended up going to the class in the morning instead of our regular night time class, so that Mackenzie could take Thomas with her:)
They had a blast together......well, almost together:) As soon as we got there Mackeznie took off in one direction, and Thomas went the other direction. Thank goodness Daddy was there....he stayed with Mackenzie while I played with Thomas! Every so often, they would see each other from across the room and "run" to each other showing what they had found. They both had so much fun:)
