sometime way too early in the morning for me to be coherent: (door to my bedroom flies open) "mommy"(crying) (McKenna stumbles over everything in my room to get to my side of the bed and throws her bunny,frog and two blankets on me and climbs onto the bed.) I lay her down in the middle of us and cover her up and try to go back to sleep. about 5 min later I have hands slapping me in the face and a hand turning my face to be right next to hers so I can feel her breathing on me. She falls asleep and I think "yes I can go to sleep now".....snoring begins and more hands hitting me in the face. I return McKenna to her bed and 10 min later the process starts over again so I lay there and drift in and out of sleep.
7am rolls around: "mom!" "watch a movie mom!" (Kenna slips off the bed and climbs up on the desk to get a movie.) meanwhile I groan and tell McKenna to come lay down for a few more minutes...."c'mon mom,watch princess kay?" (she comes and takes my fingers and pulls me out of bed.) Already I am starting the day off tired.
I lay on the couch with her thinking I can get a little sleep while she watches the movie, but 5 min later...."i hungy mom" I think I can just give her some cereal but no..."pancakes mom"
The rest of the day is me saying a lot of "stop that, get down, stay out of that, I told you not to play with that, do you want to go to timeout, 1..2..3...okay timeout! clean up your toys please, put that back, do you want to go in your room, please stop whining, why did you take your diaper off, don't throw things, don't say that word its not nice, stay by mommy please, don't jump on the couch, we dont play with the toilet paper, (at the store) sit down please... Kenna sit down please...if you dont stay sitting down you won't get a treat,Kenna you need to eat a few bites of this or (filled in with some type of threat such as you wont get a treat or watch a movie), don't throw food on the floor, leave your bib on please or you will get your clothes dirty, Mckenna that is not a toy...you get the point.
I try to get a little cleaning done among other things but McKenna says a lot of "play blocks mom, watch a movie mom, I hungy mom(about 20 times a day), stop it mom, i dont want mom, listen moosic, mommy, c'mon mom, play toys mom, color k, sutup mom (thanks all the children's movies that say that), park okay, sing song, chockit (chocolate)pease,no, mom!...mom!....mom!
I really cant do anything with out her getting into mischief so that is my day basically playing with her and following her around to keep her out of things. It is a wonder I actually get anything done. As soon as Travis is home I say I am done.
Two is definately a challenging age, but even though these things drive me crazy sometimes, I cant help but love them, laugh at them and think they are adorable!
She really is so sweet, it is just that by the end of the week I feel like I am going to lose my mind.

Halloween
I cant believe that this was the third halloween for McKenna, time just flies. This one was by far the best so far! She had so much fun this year.
McKenna was a witch, and I couldn't decide what Hat I liked best so I just put her in one for the church festival, and then the other one for trick or treating.
The Halloween festival at the church was fun, and Kenna got lots of prizes and loved playing the games.
Her favorite was the cake walk because of course she got a cupcake which she got to enjoy at home where she wouldn't make a mess.It was fun, but not a lot of people were there. I let her have a little taste of the cupcake before I realized it was a bad idea to let her eat it there.
We went up to Travis' sister's house in Heramen, Utah to go trick or treating with her family. McKenna loved being with her cousins.
McKenna was so excited for trick or treating she started running to the houses the moment we got outside. I had to keep reminding her to stay by mommy or she would have to ride in the stroller instead of walk.
She would run up to the door and try to grab handfuls of candy, I had to keep reminding her to only take one unless they said otherwise. She kept trying to take the candy out and eat it as she got it, but of course I told her she would have to wait till we got home.
She could have gone all night, but it was getting cold so we went back inside. She enjoyed looking at all her candy, but not as much as eating it.
We bobbed for apples which was pretty funny. McKenna stuck her face in there to get the apple or so I thought, but it turns out she was just drinking the water.
We had a lot of fun with them and we had a great Halloween!

what is happening with the harris's
It has been a while since I posted anything so I guess I will fill everyone in on what is going on with our family.
Travis is working a lot and applying to Law schools and other things so most of the time it is just me and Kenns. We have a lot of fun together though, and I love her little personality.
She is starting to sing songs all the time and actually knows all the words. When she goes down for an afternoon nap I always rock her in her chair and sing to her. Once day I was singing "what heaven sees in you" and she started singing the words to it before I got to them. It was the most adorable thing I have ever heard! Her favorite songs to sing are the ABC's and Itsy Bitsy Spider and Ring around the Rosies. She loves listening to music and dancing around the living room.
She recently has gotten on this kick where she says "love you so much" to everything. She was taking a bath the other day and when she was done we let the water out and she says "bye water, I love you so much!"
Everytime Daddy leaves for work she says "daddy kisses pease," and when she kisses you she grabs your face and gives you a nice big kiss. She always wants hugs and kisses, she is just so sweet!
As for me, I am just enjoying being around McKenna even when she gets into things and makes messes for me to clean up. She is into stuff more now then she ever has been, but I love her!
We are just waiting to see where we will end up for law school so besides that there is not much going on that is too exciting, but give me a couple months and I will hopefully have more exciting things to share with you all.
