Maddie and her wild imagination

Last night we went to JCpenny's to get a swimsuit for Maddie our fast growing 3 year old. I had a coupon for 10 dollars of of a 10 dollar purchase. Her swim suit was on sale for $9.99 so we picked it up for free. She was so proud of her new suit she carried it around with her all night long and then slept with. She would have slept in it if I let her. She woke up Sunday morning and was sad that it was not Monday so we could go the YMCA. So she got ready for church with her swim suit in hand when I told her that we could not take it to church she exclaimed but it will be sad and it will cry with out me so I need to bring it. I love the imagiation of our little 3 yar old.

A true boy will find and a way to make mud

It has been a wonderful and beautiful week and my kids have been loving the warmth and sunlight. Because there is a big pile of dirt waiting to be planted with our garden it is a prime target for digging with little shovels and big imaginations. Well Michael has grown into an exploring little courious boy with all that comes along with boyhood. There has not been rain all week so the dirt is pretty dry and as many moms know little boys love mud more than dirt. There was no water outside but apprently he had rememberd that there was some water that he had spilled in side one the kitchen floor. So two shovel scoops latter mom had discovered his masterpiece that he was so proud of. He just couldn't understand why mom would not let him continue in this new found fun of making mud in on the kitchen floor. For this is why I love motherhood all these moments that we find ourselves in day in and day out. Mess after mess, lesson after lesson. It is our choice to make it a good one and that I try to do daily and somehow life seems worth going on to the next day

Maddies Declares.......

We were all outside working in the yard with the flowers and such when Maddie says I got a poke. Darn now it is a hole. Then she came over to me and said Mom we have to go right now to the store. I of course asked her why and was very intrested in what she had to say. Her reply was We need to get a NEW MADDIE the old one is broken and it has hole in her. She is so darn cute!!!!!!!!

Happy St. Pattricks Day

Today we had some fun with the Holiday. To start off I went to work out at the YMCA with a couple of my girl friends. The kids love to play there they just love it. Then we all headed over to my house where we had lunch Mac and Cheese green style. Then because it was such a beautiful day the kids palyed out side. We had hoped for them to frost some sugar cookies but the sunshine was calling to all the kids to come and play!!! So we mommies frosted them and brought them out to the kids. We also decorated shamrocks with macaroni noodles and cereal. the kids had so much fun. There are days when I wish i could do this every day. But I do have to remind myself that I must not run faster then I have strength.

Michael and his ever so sweet words

I can not believe that My baby is talking. OK so he is almost 2 but it amazes me because my other 2 boys did not talkuntil they were 3 so to hear his voice say these cute little words just amazes me. Here are some of the words that he says: down, off, done , milk, jucie, please, thankyou, I love you, up and the list goes on. It seems that every day there are new ones to add. I love my children they are just so beautiful. I can hardly wait to have our next one. Well I must get back to the children.

Allisons Suregry Went great

Allison had her surgrey 1 week ago Last Friday. She is doing better and not on any pain meds anymore, yet she is still a little uncomfortable. She is still not on a regular diet she is getting tired of icecream milk shakes and yougourt, and jello. But she is being a great sport. I hope that she will start to feel better. The night time is the hardest because her throat get so dry and it causes it to hurt. So she has been taking water to bed with her to bed at night. Some how she still ends up in our bed by early morning. She has been such a great trooper. Her spunck and personality is still with her, of which I am glad. she is so funny and hummurs us all. What a charmer.
