Sydni's 5th Birthday Pancakes!
Sydni's Coffee Shoppe
The girls were taking all of the gifts out of the packaging this morning, and I opened up the Barbie play coffee machine Aunt Layci bought for them. They took it back into the bedroom to play, and I heard Makki saying, "Can I take your order?" and then Sydni say, "I need uh, vanilla mocha." (Maybe I go to Starbucks way too much with them! Sydni knows my order, and forgot to say "grande", or it would be right on the money!) When I walked back there to see what they were doing, Sydni was using the bunk bed ladder for her window, and Makenzi was using my grocery list pad to take her order. How cute is that?! They keep me entertained, that's for sure!
They re-enacted the order for me after I found my camera! Mak played the part of the barista very well, saying, "Is that all?" when Syd finished her order.

Unusual Birthday Gift Request...of course, Made By Sydni!
Sydni has been known to request odd things for her birthday. Well, not necessarily odd, just off the wall and totally unexpected for her age bracket, I guess. Like how she wanted boxing gloves for her 3rd birthday, and Granny Deb obliged and found her mini boxing gloves! Or let's not forget her recent request for a Snuggie! She thinks of the goofiest stuff to request for gifts! For example, she recently requested a "thingy you wear when you're sleepin'". I had no clue. After a few minutes of prodding, and of course her acting out in mime-fashion what she was talking about, I figured out that she wanted a sleep mask. I think you are an offical diva when you wear a sleep mask! I had no clue where to begin looking for one, and luckily one of my co-workers knew exactly where to look when I was telling her about Sydni's odd request. Apparently, you can easily find them in Walmart or Target in the bath & body aisle. Who knew!? I gave her a birthday gift a day early so she could wear her sleep mask the last night she was a four year old! HA! She squealed when she opened it and saw that I had found her coveted sleep mask! After trying it on, I might have to become a diva and get me one! Very comfy! I love this goofy gal!

Friends Next Door!
Tia and Sydni played for hours on the waterslide!
Tia can also pose just as well and Sydni! A match made in heaven!
Painting Shirts
We had a few shirts that the girls use to play in, and Sydni decided she would like the shirts if they were "more pretty." That meant she needed to paint them in order to make them more attractive. I think she decided she needed to paint something made out of cloth when she saw me painting Pop and Granny's aprons. So of course, her wish was granted! Sydni is doing much better with her brush control, but Makenzi still likes to make big blobs that she gives a label, but the blob never really looks like what she said it is! We are so dang crafty, aren't we?

The Countdown Has Begun!
We are definitely ready for summer! Tuesday will be the start of our last week of school, and both the girls and I are counting down the days. Every morning is a struggle for us to get up and be ready on time. The sun staying out so late makes it very difficult to get in bed before ten, so the girls are zombies at 6:30am and not very cooperative when it comes to getting dresssed, teeth brushed, and breakfast in their bellies before we leave! I can't wait for the lazy mornings and hot afternoons playing on the waterslide and sunning in the back yard! To prepare for the upcoming weeks, the girls put on their new swimming suits and modeled them for me!

SNUGGIES!
Sydni loves the SNUGGIE commercial, and has been requesting one for quite some time now! Luckily, Granny Marla is an awesome seamstress and saved me from having to buy the glorified blanket with sleeves! She made both Sydni and Makenzi their very own SNUGGIE, and in my opinion, they are much, much better than the store-bought version. She made them out of very soft and cute material, which makes me kind of want one! Thanks for the adorable graduation presents, Granny!

The Graduate!
Sydni graduated from preschool today. It was an adorable ceremony! Discovery Depot has done an amazing job taking care of our little girls, and their pre-K class has been so much fun for Sydni. Not to mention the fact that she has learned so much this year. I'm certain she will be a full-blown reader by the end of the summer. She was so excited and nervous "graduating" today. Check out the pictures!
