A few of Makenzie's classmates all dressed up

Ms. Fairy herself

Yesterday, I was able to make it to Makenzie's Fall Festival which proved to be a lot of fun. Her entire class was dressed up and ready to party. I have a few pictures of that I will put up of her and the others. It started around snack time and they all wanted to eat the treats that had been brought. It was so much fun to see her and her classmates interact.

Pumpkin Patch

Smiling So Big that her eyes were closed


This one Please =)

Tired after a fun filled day

So, I am a little behind in blogging . Last weekend Makenzie and I went to the pumpkin patch to pick out one to take home. After we got home from the pumpkin patch we deceided to carve it and unfortunately, I don't have any pictures from evolution since she didn't want to stick her hands in it. Makenzie is the biggest girlie girl there is. So, here are a few pictures from last weekend and her fun with the pumpkins.

Beerfest

So trying to find some sort of normality in Asia, I made my way to Beerfest! I left Singapore and travelled across the border to Jahor Baharu, Malaysia. Sounds simple but here's how the trip went. I caught a train for 15 min to a train station near the border, but the bus was broke down. I got back on the train for another 10 min to catch another bus. It was meant to hold about 40 people but you know these crazy asians... we fit at least 70 on there. Finally we made it to the border, as i tried to leave Singapore I was detained by Customs agents. Apparently i have been living in Singapore on an expired Visa. Whoops, now i know how it feels to live in southern Cali. Hahaha. Eventually i was released by the Singaporean authorities, where we then stood in a 2 hour line in the dead heat of the afternoon to be stamped in to Malaysia. All i can say about that is WOW!!! Once we crossed into Malaysia... Hot, sweaty, tired, and in dire need of refreshment we could almost smell beerfest. Somehow our guide talked us into walking a mile to save money on a cab ride. So instead of spending 11 ringot it only cost about 6 ringot. So you know that is only about 1.40 US. We live; we learn right? We finally arrived at the hotel. Washed up, got changed into our drinking clothes and proceeded to beerfest. We sang, we danced, and we competed. I haven't drank that much beer since well.... I don't think i have ever drank that much. That says alot. It was a good time, and the border crossing was worth it.

Wonderful World of Potty Training

Lat weekend Makenzie and I were working on potty training and she was in big girl underware which she loved. I would give her the option of a diaper or big girl underware and more times than not the big girl underware won out. So, Makenzie is slowly getting into the process of potty training and last night seemed to be monumental. She actually used the potty, she said "poop" and starting throwing a fit so I immediately took her to the bathroom and she did her business. It was pretty cute how proud of herself she was. Unfortunately, even if she is just wet she says poop but we are completing the stage of her telling us that she is wet. I am curious to see how long it takes to get her fully potty trained.

P.S.
I wasn't aware of how frustrating it was going to be to potty train...but it is still one of those moments that makes being a mom so rewarding when they finally get the hang of it. :)

So True

A couple of my sorority sisters had this in their profiles and it couldn't be more true. My husband is in the Navy and I think this how most of our bad nights went. =)

Mommy's little helper

Well, Makenzie is growing up so fast and LOVES to help me. It seems that whenever we go grocery shopping I need to have a bag that is light enough for her to carry otherwise she gets upset. This weekend is no exception when she helped mom make halloween cookies. From the pictures above you can see her enthusiasm.

Pictures of Makenzie 10/08

She is actually saying cheese!
Pretending the banana is a telephone! Such a cutie...

So, I couldn't resist putting this picture up! I know that she will hate me later in life for this, but she didn't want to put any pants on!
