Personality test at Chuck E. Cheese

Last night we went to Chuck E. Cheese. (Not my favorite restraurant) As I was sitting at the table watching our children play I noticed how much their different personalities come through. Mason is all about the games and trying to get as many tickets as possible. He seemed to come back every five minutes for more tokens, bringing back long strands of tickets to the table. Mackenzie on the other hand probably only used 5-6 tokens, mostly on the merry-go-round or a car ride. She spent the rest of her time playing in the McDonald's type tunnel/playground. She even made new friends. I finally let Mason use up the rest of her tokens to earn her some tickets.

At the "prize counter" their different personalities shine through even stronger! I let Bob accompany Mason to the counter, with good reason. It takes Mason decades to decide exactly what to get with his 111 tickets. (Which doesn't get very much anyway!) They were gone a long time, finally coming back with 3-4 little trinkets. Mason loves to spend and always wants to get the most for his money.

Mackenzie on the other hand went to the counter, quickly chose her 3 items and was finished within 5 minutes. When at the store she always chooses very quickly and is content with whatever she chooses.

Anyway, it just amazes me that two kids can be so different in so many ways. I'm sure some of it is age and gender, but God sure did create each one unique and very special!

Here are a few pictures taken this past week. Enjoy!

Mackenzie and her friend Abraham.

About a year ago, Abraham had surgery on his leg bone in which the doctors had to insert some screws and other "hardware". Last week they went in for another surgery to remove the hardware. He spent a few days in a wheelchair but has healed wonderfully because he is back to walking and playing now.

My friend Cara (Abraham's mom) made Kenzie these pajamas. She made a matching blanket too.
Monday we made "rock pets". Mason especially loves art and creating things.
