Madison had the BEST time at gymnastics a couple weeks ago. Usually she is so careful and very hesitant at trying something new, but for some reason she wasn't at all with this. It was so much fun for me to watch her being so "independent" and really enjoying herself without being afraid. I even thought it was amazing that she would walk in a straight line with the other kids when they moved to something else! The trampoline was her all time favorite thing...she absolutely LOVES to jump!
Madison had some friends over one evening and got to decorate some yummy cookies. The best part for her was getting to eat the icing and candy along the way!
Ok. We're trying this again. This is day 2 of our potty training and Madison has done great. A friend of mine let me borrow her potty chair, so its been in the living room, our room, and even the bathroom. Something I can laugh at now happened today. Madison always wants to pour out her "pee-pee" in the big potty and flush it after she goes. Well, I've been helping her, but today she jerked it to carry it by herself and the whole cup poured all over the floor!!! It has been such an up and down's kind of day! Doctor visit this morning in the pouring rain, the big "spill", photos for a client not wanting to upload, and on and on....tomorrow WILL be better. Also, day 2 of no pacifier except for bedtime! yay
Madison went to her first football game ever the day after thanksgiving. My brother coaches high school and his team was in the playoffs. They won this game, so it was very exciting. This picture of him and the girls was taken out on the field after they won. My dad cooked burgers before the game...he had his own tailgate party!
This Thanksgiving meant so much to us! It was such a wonderful time to give thanks for all of our many blessings! Even though it was a little different not going to my Meme and PaPa's house in Jonesboro like we always do...it was actually really nice! It's a good feeling to know I have such an amazing family!...just one of those "many" blessings that was so evident this day. I wouldn't know what to do without them.
Of course we had to do something with the pumpkin now that it's almost time for it to be thrown away. Madison painted for at least 30 min. on the poor thing!
We had Alan and Cathy's baby shower at the house on Sunday. It was fun times and too much good food...Can't wait to meet Aidan...let's hope he comes before christmas day!
Madison was an Indian this year! She wore an outfit my mom had made me when I was little. I don't think Daniel was too crazy about it, but he couldn't come up with anything better. I thought my little Indian was very cute...feathers and all! We went out for dinner and then took Madison to get a few pieces of candy before coming home. We only made it down one street. She was too excited about the CANDY!
I've started TRYING to potty train Madi. She did great the first 2 days. Then I got busy painting and working on the house again this week, so it hasn't go so well. This day I couldn't find her and she was in the bathroom with baby on the potty!
The girls had a good time carving a pumpkin this weekend. You can tell it was a surprise for them to come over...madi was still in her pajamas! Uncle Mike was the one behind all of this MESS! The girls kept saying "it's yucky"...
Last Friday morning we headed to the pumkin patch with some friends. Madison loved the hayride and getting to pick out a pumpkin to bring home! I think she picked the biggest one there was...I had to carry it, it was so heavy. We took a picnic lunch and fought the swarm of bees that were there. It was a fun day.
