Wow!! It's been a long time since I have had time to sit down and write. Life is busy and always full of adventures. Having 2- almost 5 year olds, and a 2 year old, there is never a dull moment in the life of the Mackelprangs. I thought I would give you all an update on the kids and our cRaZy life!!
Paxtin- He loves school and comes home and tells me EVERYTHING that he does that day. He tells me about his friends there and he loves his teacher, Miss Elise! He is learning to read and is always sounding out words, it's incredible watching/listening to him put words together by himself. Paxtin will be 5 in July and he has been counting the months till his birthday since Halloween. I think he is more excited for his birthday than he was for Christmas. He's such a smarty pants and remembers EVERYTHING. You have to be careful what you say or promise to him cause he will hold you to it, and won't forget it EVER! He loves Spider-Man still and anything red. He loves Tom & Jerry, Inside Out, Boss Baby, and he thinks its great he has learned how to use the remote. He wakes me up every morning to remind me that he and Channing need cereal. He's a great helper and even though he can drives me crazy, he also helps me out so much. I depend on Pax a lot cause he's always willing to help me out when I need him. He did get his first set of stitches in February which was a crazy filled night, but he did awesome and he's all healed up now!! Paisley loves Pax and he will always hold or snuggle her when she needs him.
Channing- He asks every morning if he can go to school, no matter what day it is. Summer is really going to be hard for Chan. He loves doing his Upstart program, and it's really helping him learn more at home. He does so well in school, and he's speaking in full sentences which makes me so so happy. It's so fun to hear him speak more clearly and more often. He does still have his screaming outburst often, we are really hoping that stage ends SOON, cause it causes me great anxiety, especially in public. We recently introduced the boys to the Wii, and Channing is a master bowler. He can bowl strikes like crazy and it's so fun to watch him celebrate each one. He and Pax like to play it often together and it's a great way to continue to learn "turn taking". Channing is a picky eater, yet he has a major sweet tooth. We have to hide EVERYTHING or he will eat it all. He is a big 4 year old, and I can't keep up with his growth. I feel I'm constantly buying him new clothes that fit. He's getting so tall too. He absolutely LOVES SuperMan!! Everything is about SuperMan! Channing is potty-trained (minus his pull up at night time), but that kids goes through 100 pair of underwear a day. He changes them after EVERY SINGLE TIME he goes to the bathroom. He such a lover, and I love when he says "I love you monny"! He goes to sleep before anyone, and is awake before anyone! He likes to quietly roam the house or sit in peace in the mornings.
Paisley- Sissy, Miss P, Paisers, whatever you want to call her is a very busy 2 year old. She turned 2 in March and terrible 2's have hit full force! Man that girl can throw a fit!! She is potty trained now, minus #2, she still tends to wait till she has a diaper on to do her business. She is always climbing, wearing anyone's shoes around the house, loading Bella's dog dish with food whether it's full or not she always adds more. She is a stinker about going to bed. She is a night owl like her mom and she always has to have me laying by her to go to sleep. She is talking so much more and she loves to dance and sing. Her favorite thing to say is "I do it"!! She is obsessed with Moana and we watch it everyday, sometimes 4 times a day. She won't wear any other shoes of her own except her rain boots. She likes to sneak outside and we recently had to find new child proof ways to keep the doors locked from her. She is fearless, and it scares me to death. Paisley is always getting compliments on her curly hair and blue eyes, we get stopped a lot with people complimenting her curls, and telling me how cute she is!! Paisley makes us all laugh and her brothers adore her and she adores them. She has learned how to tattle on them now and they don't like it. She is my little bestie!!
Dusty- He has grown to love Pickle Ball and plays in a league every Tuesday morning and enjoys it. Paisley and I often get to go on lunch dates with him while the boys are at school. He spoils Paisley rotten, and he's great at laying by the boys at night telling them stories and playing games to help Pax fall asleep (Chan's usually already asleep). He is great at playing hide-n-seek with the kids and they love it. They go crazy every day when dad comes home and immediately the fun begins!!
Me- I'm a mom! I wake everyday to the 3 best kids in the world. We have a routine on school days and we just hang in our pajamas on other days. Like any mother, I feel like I fail on a daily basis at raising my kids. I have ZERO patience and I try so hard, but I was not there the day God handed out patience. I love doing LuLaRoe, it's perfect for "me" time when I need it most. I'm struggling really bad right now with all the stuff going on medically with my mom. I'm always in tears, I'm always questioning God, I'm always wondering where my friends are when I need them most. I feel alone and tired all the time. Being an emotional person sucks! I just pray that all will work out in the end.
Well this is us! If you're still reading this, congrats you survived!! Thank you for always loving and supporting my family!! You have helped us get where we are today! XOXOXO
