Oh, to be a kid....

We have reached the band-aid phase in our home, much thanks to Kellen for this. Makenna used to HATE band-aids. You had to try your hardest to convince her to put a band-aid on when she really needed them, and even then it was only successful half the time. But somewhere Kellen learned about band-aids and fell in love. Now EVERY DAY I get a request from Kellen to put on a band-aid. He will pick one out, help me open it and show me where it needs to go (always somewhere on the legs). And of course if Kellen has one, then Makenna needs one as well. It started to get a little out of control so now they are both limited to one band-aid a day. I am sure some people think I am silly for letting them play with band-aids, but hey, it is only $2 for a box of band-aids that lasts a couple of weeks. And the smile on Kellen's face when he is sporting his band-aid is WELL worth it!!
Makenna decided one night to put her headbands on her and Kellen like sweat bands and have them race each other. It was hilarious to watch them run back and forth racing. Lots and lots of laughs and smiles. I love my kiddos and the cute, silly things they are constantly doing.
Kenna and her little buddy Cam. They are such goofs together!

Kenna has become a regular trapeze artist. She has taught herself how to do so many trick on this gym bar recently. For awhile it was making me nervous as can be, but she does quite well and really, there is no stopping her. She can hang upside down with no hands in few different positions, can do little flips on the bar and all sorts of things. Crazy girl!
Kellen does his best to keep up with his sis. He looks so cute trying to swing on this by himself. He is a brave little dude and definitely strives to be as big as he can.

Kellen is such a goof and Loves to try and be like his big sister. She was trying to show him how to put on a headband and this is the best he could do. Such a silly kid.

Dr. Makenna (if you ask her then she will tell you she wants to be a doctor when she grows up) gives really great check ups. She is very thorough and a very gentle, friendly doctor. Kellen LOVES these check ups and asks for them frequently. There is always something so sweet to me about this interaction. I love it!

Ok in all of these pictures Kellen looks pretty much the size of Makenna. I know he is smaller but these pictures make them look the same size.
I love them! Those crazy munchkins you got, I LOVE THEM!

Why is it that kids love playing doctor when they hate going to the real doctor? They are so adorable playing together!
