I have to say how excited I was to be able to go and do something fun with Madalyne. We had such a great time today and the build and grown workshop at Lowes. She got a free apron and goggles. She even got a little badge to put on her apron. We are going to go from now on. It is such a nice thing to do with the kids. Free entertainment. That's always nice. Well I encourage anyone with kids to go and do it.

I don't know if I should say this but I did a good job on these pictures I think. I did these this morning in my living room. I can't really afford to go get them done, so I just did them myself. Tell me what you think of them (be honest). These are to be my kids Christmas pictures.

This is how we keep our house in such "immaculate, clean conditions". Yeah right I Maddie just really wanted to mop. She didn't want me to help at all. Oh well, I guess that's how they learn.

I just love this picture. My little Matt in the leaves. What a cutie.

There is nothing more fun in the fall then a big pile of leaves. My super cute Maddie is getting lost in the leaves.

Today was Maddies Birthday. We celebrated it on Halloween. We had so much fun. Our neighbor Angie made Maddies Birthday cake. It turned out really cute. We had 9 kids here, it was crazy busy. It was pretty fun spreading out her birthday over 4 days. She loved it. I can't believe how fast my little girl is growing up.

"Oh so wicked"

This was Boo at the Zoo. What a fun day it was. This is my wickedly sweet little witch. She has animal magnetism. Matthew on the other hand didn't want to have anything to do with them.
