What do I do now?

We went to Target today to get Sleeping Beauty and after I parked, I opened Makenna's door with my clicker. I usually get Jordyn out first and then go unbuckle Makenna. Before I even opened Jordyn's door, Makenna was out of the van. I know she was buckled before we left so I was a little baffled! I asked her how she got out and she casually replied, "I pushed the button!" Um.....what??? You are only three. You are not supposed to be able to get out of your car seat!! (Or is this normal?) Do kids normally learn how to unbuckle their car seats at this age? I thought that it might have been a fluke and that she wouldn't be able to do it again but she did it again when we got home. How am I going to keep this girl in her car seat while we are driving? I don't care if she gets herself out when we get somewhere. I just worry that she will unbuckle herself while I'm driving and I won't know. She is really good about seat belts. She yells at us if we haven't gotten ours on but what do I do to make sure she stays in her chair???

Mrs. Klutz and her klutzetts

We have had a crazy week so far and it's only Wednesday. Last night after I got home from work, I made some ramen because I was starving. All of a sudden, Jordyn drops her bottle, the top comes off and milk is spilled everywhere. I set my noodles down to start to clean it up and before I know it, Makenna had dumped my noodles onto her hand and was screaming bloody murder. She burned her hand really good and I was flabbergasted as to why she would touch the hot soup. She knows better. She later told Travis that she was trying to get some paper towels to help clean up the milk. What a sweetie. Anyway, she kept her hand in cold water and it's much better today. Well, today it was my turn. I didn't have to work because it was slow so I decided to actually make dinner and being the cool wife and mom that I am, I baked some yummy chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Unfortunately while I did it, I burned the crap out of my arm. I haven't burned it this bad since we first got married. I'm thinking that I probably won't be able to do deep tissue massage for a little while. Then after my fiasco, Jordyn decides to trip (she does this all the time now that she is walking) and falls right into the kitchen table and gets a big bump on her forehead. Lovely!!
It may be hard to see but it's all swollen!! Ouchies;(

And Jordyn also got her first car ride facing forward!!! She looked so big in that big car seat!! She also decided she needed to break through one more tooth before she turned one. It's her bottom left molar and this makes number 11!!!
Makenna is also chatting it up on her buzz phone in the background. She has been really into the boy movies lately. She loves Toy Story (the second more than the first) and now is into Cars. She wants to watch it everyday!! Maybe our Nascar watching is rubbing off on her;)

I also gained a little perspective recently. I came downstairs the other night after I put the girls to bed and looked at a messy house. I was a little frustrated because it seems like I clean all the time but it never seems clean. I vented about this to my hubby and he nicely put me in my place. He asked me if I wanted a clean house or my cute little girls!! Of course I would give anything for my girls and I will take the messy house.
