Lego Mania!

I love legos. Jaden loves legos. KynnLee loves to wreck lego creations. I want a big lego set for Christmas, the ones that have hundreds and hundreds of pieces and take hours to put together. But since it is impossible to keep something like that from being scattered through the house (yes, I said impossible!), it will have to wait a few years. In the meantime, we have fun with the lego duplo blocks.

Jaden is really good at building big castles, Kupa's castle usually. So we got out KynnLee's Cinderella blocks along with all of Jaden's blocks and just went to town one day while she was sleeping. Here's what we ended up with...

(notice the Mario on top, and Cinderella was the princess, and the prince was Luigi)



Among other exciting things this summer, KynnLee got a BIG big-girl bed! When I say big, I mean BIG. I'm not talkin' about no toddler bed. We have a queen bed in the basement that doesn't get used (hint, hint, people!), so we put it in KynnLee's room. Here's how she started out spending her naps...
Yeah, pretty much anywhere but the bed! And since the bed takes up most of her bedroom, she doesn't have many other options! The first time she napped, I peeked in to check on her and couldn't find her. She was curled up on the floor at the foot of the bed next to her bookshelf. Nowa days, the little stinker completely destroys her bedroom, empties her toys, pulls out clothes and shoes before she falls asleep, usually on the bed now.
Is it too late to get the crib back out???

Guess what KynnLee got???

Today was an exciting day for KynnLee. Not just because we got some absolutely SCREAMIN deals at the outlets. I didn't think this would happen until she was more like 5 or 6, but this little girlie-girl has been bothering me for months to get her EARS PIERCED! She knew it was going to hurt, she knew she couldn't touch them, this girl was ready! In fact, she has been asking and bugging me so much that I've already taken her once before and she backed out. She was good to go today though. I think it had a little to do with the fact that Dad was there, the lady was really good with her, and she wanted them so darn bad!


I held her on my lap and she looked at Trevor and Jaden while they pierced both her ears at the same time. I think I was more scared than she was! She paused for about 5 seconds before she started crying, almost like "Oh, that hurt, I should cry...". She cried for less than a minute, she's one tough chica (gets that from her mom!).

She has been SO good! She wasn't grumpy like we anticipated. A couple times she has reached up to touch them and we reminded her not to and she didn't. She even posed for me to take pictures of them to send to her aunts and grandmas and grandpas. She absolutely loves them!

Way to be brave KynnLee-girl! We love you!!
