It started out Friday afternoon. I had planned on getting Mackenzee while Sara and Maddison attended a Girl Scout function at the school. Sara called and asked if Mackenzee could stay the night because Maddison was having a bunch of friends spend the night and they were already fighting with Mackenzee. Of course, Mackenzee can come hang out with me! To hear her side of it, they were playing house and she was the "doll house baby" and all the girls were spanking her and that is just not right "you don't spank a doll house baby" (!!)
I picked her up and we started by meeting my mom at Country Kitchen SweetArt where there was a big extravaganza going on.
As we walked in we received a bottle of drinking water with their logo printed on the label and a receipe booklet. That alone got Mackenzee's attention! Every 5 feet or so was a table set up with all kinds of samples of everything from candy bark, to popcorn, to cookies, soup, meatballs, etc., etc., etc. Mackenzee was having a ball as were my mom and I. We went into the kitchen part of the store and watched a demonstration on making a cookie bouquet. Mackenzee and I came up with a cool idea for her birthday.We left there and across the street is Putt-Putt Golf, Games & Go-Karts. I pulled in there and to Mackenzee's surprise, she and I hopped into a Go-kart race car! She LOVED it!

We then headed home to finish Maddison's birthday cake for the party on Saturday morning.
Here's Mackenzee licking the beater after I colored some frosting pink.
Here's Mackenzee with pink frosting all over her face (this, by the way, stained her face RED)!
My mom came over to help with the decorating. She did a fabulous job!
Mackenzee was helping by washing dishes. She told me "I love dishin'!"
Here's my mom trimming the top of the cake.
Here is the finished product.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On Saturday morning, we were up and out early to get to the 10:00 a.m. party at Rollerdome South. Maddison wore one purple knee pad over her stitches so she wouldn't break the hole open again. Everyone had a blast. Brent, Karen and I all skated too. Maddison participated in the limbo contest and WON! She got to pick a prize from grab bag and she chose a "Go Army" lanyard because her Uncle Ricky is in the Army! Usually, when they go skating, Mackenzee wears a pair of plastic skates over her shoes. At the party, she insisted she wear real skates. Bless her little heart, she spent more time on her bum than she did upright, but by golly, she never gave up. At the end of the party, she could make one whole circle around the rink without falling.

Maddison's birthday party at Rollerdome South. Lots of friends and family attended and everyone had a great time. |
After the party, Brent and I went to the Back Nine Family Fun Center to hit some balls at the driving range. I started golf lessons this week so I can actually go out on the course and get a ball off the tee box in a few shots before Brent forgets where he hit his! (that happens whenver I go with him!) At the driving range, I got a HUGE basket of golf balls and could actually hit some that looked like I knew what I was doing! That was fun!
After a little nap, we headed out again to another birthday party. Our friend, Cam is having a birthday this week and his wife, Brea had us all meet at the Trolley Bar & Grill for a super dinner and fun with friends. Brent and I both had steak. Yum!
After dinner, the party continued at Crazy Pinz where we bowled for an hour. That was a blast too!
Now, it's Sunday morning and it's rainy (not really too cold, though). So there goes our big idea of working out in the yard. I sure hope we can get it done tomorrow or Tuesday, because Wednesday night Brent has his golf league and I have my golf lesson.
Then on Thursday, we are heading up to Watertown, NY to visit Ricky and Ashley for a long weekend. We're going to have a jungle in our yard by the time we get to it!
