BFF's

You might think that 5 years old is a bit young to have that "soul mate" kind of friend. I completely beg to differ. Makenna and Katie are the cutest little friends I have possibly seen. Katie and Makenna were in Preschool together 2 years in a row. It was their second year together that they really grew close. Makenna would talk about Katie every day. They just loved each other so much. Once Makenna left Circle Preschool and was getting ready to move onto Kindergarten, I sort of figured that was the end of that Makenna/Katie duo. But I was wrong. She asked about her all summer long. She was in tears a couple of times having to explain to her that Katie would not be in Kindergarten with her.

And then when Kellen ended up in the same Preschool class as Katie's little sister, I discovered that Katie's summer had been very much the same! So we were finally able to reunite the two and have a few playdates. A month or so ago Katie came with us after preschool to pick up Makenna and surprise her at school. I still wish I had gotten a picture of Maknna's face when she first saw Katie....It was like Christmas morning. I didn't even get a hug that day after school...all of the affection was focused on Katie (sort of a glimpse as to what the teenage years may be like as mom). These two girls just inspire me. Their love and friendship with one another is just so sincere and genuine and sweet. Love them!

Part of what bonds these two is their appreciation for the same type of humor...silly girls.

Makenna and Katie at Funbelievable

My handsome boy! Isn't he just looking so grown up and mature all of the sudden?!

I love Funbelievable because I am forced to go up in the toys with the kids. Conner insists on hanging with the big kids there...he wants nothing to do with the "toddler" section. So I have to escort him and help him the whole way through, which also gives me lots of fun play time with Kellen and Makenna. Since Makenna was busy with Katie the whole time, I got some fun time in with my boys!

My little Con! He likes Funbelievable for many reasons, one if which is the sucker he gets on the way out. Love my silly boy!
