Parades and the Zoo

Last weekend was so busy and Josslyn had the time of her life. The USU Homecoming Parade was in the morning, and if there is two things Josslyn loves it's parades and the Aggies.

Then we went to Boo at the Zoo at Willow Park. Josslyn got to wear her Elsa dress and was in Princess Heaven. Not only were there about 30 other Elsa's but many other princesses as well. As soon as she saw one she'd yell and say 'I have to go see ____ (insert princess name here)!' and then she'd run up to whatever princess it was and say 'Hi ___(insert princess name) it's me Elsa! Let's play!' It was hilarious. And if Kynzie was nearby, she'd say 'This is Tinker Bell.'

Kynzie lasted about 15 minutes in her outfit before she pooped all over it. Good thing I'm a mom who carries extra clothes around at all times. There were games and animals and fun craft activities. It was so fun!

That night was an Aggie Football game. It was a late game, so I knew we wouldn't last the whole time, but Josslyn would never forgive us if we didn't go. So off we went.

The surefire way to get Josslyn to wear a hat is to get one with snowflakes on it and tell her it's an Elsa hat. Wouldn't take it off. She normally hates them and I have to strap it on so she won't take it off (obviously so it won't mess us up her hair), but she loved this one I found with snowflakes just like Elsa. (Can you tell we are a little Frozen obsessed over here?)

Also, once again in my life I had to explain football rules to the boy sitting behind me. I think I made him feel bad as he was obviously trying to impress the girl he was with, but I didn't want her to be confused. I'm nice like that.

Nate is off on multiple trips the next few weeks, and will sadly miss Halloween, so it'll just be the three girls for a while. I'm going to need to nap for like two days when he gets back. Wish us luck!

Sleeping

This is a picture of a girl who only slept 4 hours last night...

I won't show you a picture of me with that much sleep, because it's not near as cute. McKynzie is trying really hard to crawl this week. She can scoot a little bit and she yells hysterically while she does it. Seems like if she would quit yelling she'd have a whole lot more energy and focus to scoot across the floor, but I'm not really complaining. She has not been sleeping so good the last little while. Naps are almost non-existent. I've tried many ways to get her to sleep, but no matter what I do the sleep doesn't last. I feel terrible for two reasons. 1: she obviously is not getting enough sleep, and 2: Josslyn is unfortunately been left to her own devices a lot because I have to spend so much time helping McKynzie. Hopefully I can figure out the sleep thing, but if not then Josslyn is definitely going to need some one on one time to make sure she knows I'm not trying to ignore her on purpose.

Josslyn has decided what everyone will be for Halloween. She wants to be Elsa (of course) and even though there will be a million other girls dressed as Elsa, I'm really excited for her because she is SO excited about it. She has a ton of hair so I won't have to get her a wig and it'll be adorable. Josslyn has decided that McKynzie will be Tinker Bell. Which is convenient as that is what Josslyn was for her first Halloween. I in no way suggested this to her seeing as how I already have the costume, but I readily jumped on board. I'm supposed to be Belle. As in with a big fluffy yellow dress. I don't think that is really going to turn out well...
