Big Stisters

Eleanor, Jon David and I went to have a play date with McKaila and McKenna and their mommy, Heather, who live down the street. We had a blast. The kiddos all squealed with delight when we got to their house and everyone hugged big hugs. Then they all four ran giggling up the stairs to play. I just stood there with my heart on the floor while my biggie kids ran off to do biggie kid things.

Eleanor and McKaila disappeared into the play closet only to emmerge every 15 minutes or so with a new outfit on. They decided to make it a "fashin' show!" McKaila would announce "Dum da da dum. Presenting Princess Eleanor!" and Eleanor would come out with an elaborate princess crown and cape or whatever on. She was IN HEAVEN.

Jon David and McKenna played in the gameroom with Dora and Diegos. They hugged a lot and said "I wuv u". They had tea parties and Jon David cleaned up the kitchen when they were done. His daddy's teaching him well!

Heather and I tried to have a nice visit and actually managed to get a few sentences in between refereeing. It was a great morning and so fun to just hang out and watch the kids play.

McKaila and McKenna also have an older sister, McKenzie. She's 13 and oh so cool. She wears a black tulle skirt all the time, so Eleanor thinks she's some kind of special ballerina.

When we got home, Eleanor told me that she was going to have a "big stister", too. She said her name was Hannah and she was a big, BIG, BIG girl.

She was going on and on about her new big sister, so I decided to ask her where her big stister, Hannah, lived. She jumped up, threw her arms out and exclaimed, "In Can't Silly!"

Get it?
