For the past three years, I've let the girls have 100% say in what they are going to be for Halloween. Each year they surprise me with their choices, and this year was not exception! I mean, come on, what kid signs up to be the frumpy, nerdy girl who wears an orange turtle neck? Answer: MAKENZI!!! When Mak requested to be Velma from Scooby Doo, Sydni willing signed-on to be Daphne; frump-tastic Velma's pretty counterpart. Way to take one for the team, Syd...agree to be the attractive chick in the group! Even though I wouldn't have picked out the costumes myself, I thought they turned out to be an original and cute choice. It's safe to say we did not see any other "Daphnes" or "Velmas" during our trek around the neighborhood, and lots of people seemed to recognize the two members of Mystery Inc.! Makenzi was so funny, marching around the neighborhood like a midget secretary! She took the role of Velma so SERIOUSLY...we had to refer to her as "Velma" and she wouldn't respond to "Makenzi" the entire night. Sydni loves any costume that requires lipstick or eye makeup, so I obliged and painted up eyes like I figured Daphne would for a night out hunting spooky treats! Such a fun Halloween this year!
Mystery solved! We found all of the candy possible in our neighborhood!

Makenzi Singing - From Last Year
I was going through videos on my hard drive and found this one of Makenzi from last year. It still makes me smile! She was sick during filming, so her runny nose adds a little somethin' to the video! LOL!

Defining Makki-Doodle
The nickname "Makki-Doodle" started at daycare. Her teachers called her that. Her friends would shout, "bye, Makki-Doodle!" when I would pick her up each day. I asked her why they called her "Makki-Doodle" and she replied, "'Cause I'm a doodle, Mommy." That does make a lot of sense. She is a doodle! Constantly "doodling" in things she shouldn't, and "doodling" around the house; pestering her sister, coloring on stuff she shouldn't, making messes, and of course, entertaining the masses. The nickname fit her so well that it has stuck with her for nearly a year now. So when you hear us refer to Makenzi as "Doodle" that's the story behind the making of Makki-Doodle!

The Girls are Gleeks!
We've been watching the new show GLEE on Fox, and the girls usually play during the scenes with dialogue, but pay close attention to the dance sequences. Here they are, doing their best to imitate the Glee girls performance of Beyonce's "Halo" and "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves.
