Squishy Tummy

Friday morning the girls and I were relaxing in my bed and we started talking about belly buttons (bubbins, as Mo would say). Maddi told me I had a big belly and I told her I was going to go on a diet and start working out to lose my belly. "Ouch, that will hurt," she said. I told her it wouldn't hurt, it would just make my tummy smaller. "But, I like your squishy tummy, it is soft for my pillow! can I lay on it?" I guess that I may not go on a diet, because I need to keep my tummy for a pillow, at least someone has a good use for it:) Gotta love a 5 year old's opinion.

Rollerskating

Today Maddi's class went rollerskating for the last 1/2 hour of preschool. Mo and I went to help out with all the kids, and for moral support. Maddi was pretty worried this morning about her butt, because last time they went skating she had a very sore rump when they were done, I managed to talk her out of tying a pillow around her!! Mo decided that she wanted to skate too, so we got her some skates and after about 5 min. of her clinging to me I asked her if she was having fun and she said, "NO!" So we took off the skates and she just walked with me. Maddi did very well, she didn't fall as much as last time. She spent most of the time shuffling around the gym with her friend Isabelle, just the 2 of them having a great time. She says she needs to practice more at home, but I am putting the skates up in the top of the closet where she can't reach them, to protect my floors and her body!!

Sleepover

Maddi had so much fun this weekend staying at Tom & Sara's house. We went to the mall on Friday, and Sara asked if Maddi could stay over night. I had told Mad that she could not ask, but if they asked she could go, she was so excited when Sara asked her!! Now all I hear about is Faith & Dylan's house. Faith has a small bed and Dylan has a big bed, and next time she stays over, Mo can go along and sleep with Dylan cause else he is lonely. Mo doesn't like that idea, she wants to sleep with Faif. They all got to ride "Patch" the horse, Faith was the best (according to Maddi) and Mad just thought that was the greatest!! Mo is going to ride next time they go, and she is practicing saying "Hooo" and pulling back on the reigns. Faithers also gave Mad some boots that were too small for her, Maddi wore them to school today and forgot them there, you would have thought the world was ending "Faith is going to be so mad at me, those are her favorite boots" so I went back and picked them up for her, we couldn't wait until Wed. cause some other kid might take them. Thanks guys for giving Mad such a great weekend, and I don't know if we are going to be able to get away without Mo going along next time !!:)

Enjoy it Now

I just went in and kissed the girls goodnight, and told them that we didn't have to wake up early for school or work tomorrow. This sounds great to me, not to them. They asked what we are doing and I said they could help me with laundry, "and dishes?" they asked. I am so going to enjoy this now when they actually want to help with house work. We'll see what actually happens in the morning!

Gymnastics, such a long word

Today as I was bringing the girls to my brother-in-law's house, I told Maddi that she had gymnastics tonight. She replied, "ahhhh", I asked her if she didn't like it anymore and she said, "Mom, it makes me so tired, gymnastics is such a long word" WHAT!!
"what do you mean?", I asked her. "It's so long to say, it makes my mouth tired" Um OK, what do you say to that? I told her she had to go because we already paid for it, and I was sure her teacher would not make her say gymnastics, so her mouth would not get tired. Where does she come up with this stuff!!

Tyler's Elbow

My brother Tyler was in an accident in October and had to get pins in his elbow, in the last couple weeks one of them poked through the scar and they found out he had an infection in there. Yesterday he had to go in and have surgery to get the old ones out and get new put in. When they opened it up they cleaned out the infection and then decided to leave it open until Monday night when they are going to go into surgery once again to close it up. Needless to say, Tyler is pretty bored up there at Spectrum! Keep him in your prayers through out this weekend, he hopes to come home late Monday night or Tuesday.
