Busy Body

Each night before I go to bed, I check on each of my babies to make sure they are covered up and warm, snoozing soundly in their beds. Mason is basically immobile so there are no surprises with him. Mackenzie is a different story. It takes her a little while to wind down after a busy day and so I am never sure just what she's doing in her room after kisses are " pinged" , good nights said and the door closes. I usually get a little glimpse of her busy work, though, on my pre-bed checks. Take a peek:

She was tucked into bed at 7:30. Inside that
sleeping bag, she's wearing two pairs of
heavy polar fleece socks and an exra pair of
underwear.

Mackenzie dressed up this little guy in her princess
cape

A lot of times I find that Mack's made beds for
random stuffed animals

Mickey needed a cast. I have also found Mack wearing
this doll blanket as a sock on several nightly checks

Ladybug got a late night hair do

Mack's been watching us closely as we swaddle
Mason.

Whether it's finding her wearing extra clothing  or listening outside her bedroom door putting someone in time out only to find six stuff animals crammed in her sock drawer the next morning, I find it impossible to be upset with her.After all,  I know I can't just lie down in bed after a busy day and fall right to sleep. It takes a while for my brain to turn off and the same has got to be even more true for such a busy little mind. Mackenzie has never once left her room with out my permission. For that reason plus the entertainment value that her "late" night antics provide, I look forward to seeing what she's been up to and try to conceal my laughter at what I find until I quietly close her bedroom door for the night.
