Thursdays

For the past month we have been gearing up for Maddy's big Art Show at school. We have heard all about the different painters and techniques they are learning about. Well, tonight is the night! When I picked up Maddy from school yesterday afternoon her teacher told me their was a special piece of artwork for me... Maddy did a portrait of her momma! My first thought was... crap, did she get "morning mama" "tired momma" "frantic momma?!" Then I settled into the idea that she probably did a spaghetti momma, and my highlights and make-up would look just fine.

I walked up to Maddy (while she was sitting with her back to me) while she was feeding her baby. As I approached I heard little "suckling" noises. I giggled and the suckling quickly stopped. As I walked away I heard the same noises again. She just melts my heart.

Easter... in pictures.

And just looking extra cute :)

Side note: My darling husband refused photos.

Pajama Day

This morning we got Maddy out of bed and put her in a fresh pair of PJs! Why?! Because it is PJ Day at school of course! She was very confused and didn't want to put her shoes on... I'm sure she was thinking her parents were whackadoo. Right now, she is probably running around enjoying her comfy pajamas. Daddy joked that he wasn't getting out of his pajamas either. Hmpf.

My ear finally unblocked after 5 days of torture. Adults should not get ear infections, we are babies. (Speaking for myself.) A list of what I tried....
Vinegar... I made Ray a salad after.
Hydrogen Peroxide
Ear Candles... don't even ask.
Swimmers Ear... (When was the last time I was in a freakin swimsuit?!)
Ear Wax De clog Kit
Ear Wax De clog solution
Standing on one leg and hopping
Sleeping on only that ear
Holding my nose and blowing
Swallowing
Chewing Gum
Water flushes
and what finally worked....
time and antibiotics.

Silly Things...

I always want to remember...

-Maddy eats Popsicles backwards. She starts at the bottom and works her way up.

-She loves to read to her dolls. She will sit them in her lap and hold the story up high so everyone gets to see.

-She doesn't yet know the difference between poops and toots.

-Sometimes she holds my face in her tiny little hands and just looks at me.

-When it snows outside she holds her face up to the sky and smiles.

-She likes to boss Sam around. NO! Down!

-She loves prepackaged sliced turkey. Loves.

-When her dad comes home from work she acts like she doesn't see him. It is almost as if she is too cool. Then she surprises him with kisses!

-Once and awhile she will give a kiss. Never when prompted, only spontaneously.

-She pretends to "fly like an airplane" whenever she hears the kids plane song.
