Kennadee Funnies

Kennadee has been saying the cutest and funniest things lately! Here are just a few:

at McDonalds:

K: "Mommy did I get a toy with my food"? 

Me: " Nope you didn't get a Happy Meal"

K: " Oh, Did I get a Sad Meal?"

After asking her if she would prefer to have a different mom

K: "No"

Me: "Do you like having me as your Mom"?

K: "Yes"

Me: "Why?"

K: "because you are all warm"

I totally choked up at that one!! It was so sweet!!

She has said so many other moments like this that I just have to laugh!! She is so fun!!

Kennadee's Room Before and After

Here are the before and afters for Kennadee's room. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of the dark pink that the room was between the before and after but it was about the color of that Ikea hanging cubby thing in the right back corner of her room. I had painted it that color not thinking about how nauseatingly pink that would make it so then I decided I would sponge over it with a mixture of the dark pink and some cream color that we had on hand. So I mixed the paint and bought a sea sponge roller and the first roll up the wall went on almost solidly (arrgghhh!!!) So I ended up having to paint the whole thing!! It was not fun and I was not happy but I think it turned out pretty well. It is definitely a better shade of pink now and it is kind of marbleized with the dark pink. Then I added a wallpaper border because doing straight lines on these ceilings is ridiculously hard!!

After

Wall paper border. 

It's Disney Princesses (of course)

Kennadee in her Easter Dress

Here are some pictures of Kennadee in her Easter dress. She posed herself in all the pictures. I think I have a future model on my hands!! I am so excited that her hair is finally growing back from her unfortunate scissor incident in December. I am so glad her dress turned out so well and I made it big enough that I think she will be able to wear it for awhile!!

Easter Egg Hunt

Saturday we went to an Easter Egg Hunt at the city park. I called and invited Diana and the kids to come join us. It was a cloudy chilly day but we still had fun. 

Kennadee all ready to go fill her basket

Kennadee and her cousins all ready to go get some eggs

The Easter Bunny and the Easter Hippo (our town mascot) came. They arrived in style on a fire truck The kids were very excited to go see them!!

Kennadee did a great job gathering candy and eggs. 

Much better than last year. 

She was very proud of her haul!!

All in all it was really fun!!

My Kitchen

We painted the kitchen last week. It was supposed to be a burgundy type color but it ended up being more of a grape juice color. I really like it. I think it's kind of different. My Husband on the other hand does not like it. But since paint is relatively expensive and it would cost more than we could afford to paint over it and start again we're stuck with it at least for the next few years. So when I was picking the fabric to make my daughters curtains with I found some cream colored fabric with grapes on it and an idea was born. I thought hey I can make curtains with grapes on them and then find some plastic grapes and vines and decorate that way and maybe people would think we did the color on purpose. So I went to the hobby store yesterday to see what I could find and I found a bunch of stuff that was all 50% off so I bought 3 pots the vines and some plastic grapes then when I came home and put it up the pots just weren't quite enough so I went to the dollar store and got the plates and the candle holders and candles and that filled it in nicely. 

Rudy's New Addiction

Yesterday I bought a laser pointer for exercising Rudy and he loves it!! He is so addicted when we aren't playing with it he wanders around the house looking for that little red light. It is hilarious. Last night he ran and ran with it until he was so tired and thirsty that his tongue was hanging almost to the floor. We tried to get him to stop and take a drink but he just wanted to play. Which brought about another issue since he wasn't paying attention and didn't want to stop he peed all over my living room twice once yesterday and once today!!! (Thanks Thompson's for lending me the steam cleaner!!) So now we have to do it in short turns and make him take potty breaks!! Here is a video of him doing it. I hope you get a kick out of it like I do!! 

P.S. can you name the movie going on in the background?

Kennadee's Princess Tea Party

Today we had Kennadee's Princess tea party for her 4th birthday. It was so much fun. She had 7 friends come and they all dressed up as princesses. 

They got to decorate crowns with jewels, stickers, & glitter glue

They played pin the shoe on Cinderella. Kennadee cheated and peeked the first turn she had so I had to make her take a second turn at the end.

Here are all 8 of the beautiful princesses

After the games they got to eat flower shaped PB&J sandwiches and carrots and peas

And they had pink lemonade tea of course  

Kennadee blew out her candles and they had cupcakes.

Then they washed up 

And then Kennadee opened her presents and they went upstairs to play for a little bit then we cleaned up and they watched Cinderella until their Parents came. It was so much fun!! Thanks for coming girls!!
