Potty Training~ Part II / No more paci~Part I

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

1st Football Game

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!

Thanksgiving Day 2008

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.

Beginning to look like Christmas!

I'm ready for Christmas! I must say this is the earliest I've ever decorated, but I just couldn't wait any longer and since we will be at my parents house for Thanksgiving...I thought...why not?

Painting the pumpkin

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!

White's Baby Shower

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!

Never too big for a laundry basket!

Fun with Markers

Thank goodness Meme bought the washable markers! They sure were fun as you can see!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

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!
