More Helping Daddy

Makenna continues to be a big help to her daddy with all of the work he is accomplishing on the house.

Rolling up the carpet


Reading the directions on 'How to install the wood floor'

Suggesting alternative ways to use the hammer

Climbing

Makenna's new favorite thing to do is to climb on and into things.

Neighborhood Potluck

I truly like living in an established neighborhood. It has many benefits and we got to enjoy one of those benefits this past weekend - "The Annual McKinley Neighborhood Potluck." Our first neighborhood potluck included wonderful food, meeting several of our neighbors, firemen and a fire truck.

Don't worry the firemen were there only to talk to the kids in the neighborhood and show them their fire truck.




The Checkerboard

Saturday night we went out to eat with my parents at a restaurant in Pleasantville called the Checkerboard. It was fun looking at all the antiques and stuffed animals that they had as decorations. Makenna also thought that our waitress was fascinating.



After enjoying a wonderful supper we took a stroll up and down the 2 blocks of Pleasantville's main drag. We stopped at a small garden for Makenna to take a ride on a Lion (the town's school mascot) and sniff (more like try to eat) the flowers.

Crash

Makenna lost her balance. She fell. Hard.

Poor girl.
