Everything...And the kitchen sink

First, in Maggie News, she is rolling over!  She can flip both ways, we think this might be a little early since she is not quite 3 months old yet.  Actually she has been doing it since last week, I'm just a little behind.  (I just checked and Mac was getting close to 4 months when he rolled back the other way)

Now a funny Mac story.  Mac has been helping with cooking a good bit lately.  He especially loves to help make desserts.  (shocking I know)  Last night I got home from work and Mac came running wanting me to see what he made.  While Doug was feeding Maggie, Mac was apparently "cooking" in the kitchen.  He  had a dish and a spice rack.  He nearly emptied some of the spices (the celery salt must have poured better than the others because its almost gone).  

I know that it looks like dirt.  I really thought he had been outside getting sand at first.  He was so proud of the "dessert" that he had made.  I tried really hard to keep a straight face while talking to him about it, but I ended up crying I was laughing so hard.  I wasn't sure how to tell him that we couldn't eat it for dessert without hurting his feelings.  He actually tried a pinch of it and said it tasted great!

And finally...last night when going to bed Mac said "let's thank God for stuff."  He started listing things:  pillows, covers, crayons, bookshelves...and the kitchen sink.  :)

A long time...

Recently we were talking to Mac about our morning plan while getting him ready for bed.
We told him that Samantha would be taking him to school in the morning.
His response:
"No, Momma's been taking me to school for 40 days and 40 nights.!"

We figured this must be the longest time period he can come up with.  Plus, it means he's actually getting something out of our Bible reading even though he can never sit still.

Roll over, roll over

The exciting news: Maggie can roll over already.
The not so exciting news: we didn't see it and it apparently only happens at night.

How we put her to bed...

How we found her in the morning...

Well, actually the first time she was turned 90 degrees and much further down the bed, but at 4:00am we weren't really thinking about taking pictures.

Maybe a little weird?

I tried to get Mac to pick up stuff quickly last night so that we could have time to play a game. He went to put away a set of board books and he just couldn't do it quickly. He had to do it according to the "instructions."

I tried to explain that this was just a picture of all the books, but he insisted that this was the directions for how to put the books away. We spent 10 minutes, at least, with him flipping the box back and forth checking the diagram and putting them in the right place. I finally just gave in to his way and tried not to laugh.

First day of "school"

The schools around here don't start for a few more days but Monday we had our first day for Maggie.
Mac was VERY excited about taking Maggie to school for the first time.

I'm glad to report that this first week went great.  We're still trying to adjust and figure out how to get everything done, but we're off to a good start.  Thankfully Mac is pretty helpful when only one of us can be there to take them or pick them up from school.

Bedtime prayers

Tonight Mac prayed "Thank you for Mommy and please help her work tomorrow and make lots of money so we can go out to eat sometime"

We have a few things saved up that we need to post so look for some stuff soon.
