Maddisms

My Maddie's is almost 3 and I thought I should record some of the cute things she says.

One day while shopping with Dad, Mike had to use the restroom. Maddie was sitting in the cart and didn't want to go into the bathroom. So Mike placed the cart up close to the opening and went inside. He could hear her as one of the Wal-mart Associates came over to talk with Maddie.
Maddie says, "My daddies going potty lady. Don't you take me lady, cause my daddy's in the potty." Mike and the Associate had a good laugh.

After a nap one day the covers had fallen a little and Mike was showing a bit of skin (on his back). Maddie says, "cover up! no one wants to see that Daddy!"

When we drive she reminds us to drive slow and only go if it's green. "Or else the police will stop you and take you away, then we won't have a Mommy or Daddy and we'll be all alone."

For her birthday this year I have promised her that we will take her to the mall to get our nails and toes painted by the "doctors there at the mall...as long as they don't poke me." (the nail tech use masks :) (and doctors give shots...pokes).

When Abbey doesn't share she tells her "remember my teacher said you have to share" (only Abbey the only on in school and it was here teacher that said that :)

When we are driving in the car she says, "put on the music...louder and put on a girl song" (She loves Lady Gaga, Kelly Clarkson, Kesha, Pink, etc.) She also knows tons of primary songs and can sing then to you without the music.

That little girl is something else she is 2 going on 12...how will I keep up?

Flying like an eagle

Yesterday we were driving and Maddie wanted to sit in my lap. Later that day Abbey says to me "Maddie wants to be an eagle" I said, fun! Then she said "Yeah when we were in Daddy's truck Maddie wanted to be an eagle" I said really why was that? She said "Maddie wanted to sit on your lap and that would be an eagle." (illegal).

White Christmas

This year we had a White Christmas. The snow started yesterday and it still has not stopped! There is so much snow that Mike's boss canceled all Tows!!! I'd say there is up to 5 feet of drifts! It's been nice though, we actually got to see Mike all day long, Merry Christmas to us :)

Santa stayed up to 2:30 putting this kitchen together. Good thing 'cause the girls LOVE it!

Mike's new job, Towing, has him out in the snow ALOT! So he suits up to stay warm....isn't he so cute!!!!

SURPRISE

At the end of November I was feeling all sad and missing my family in California. I had called my sister Melissa, and told her that I missed her. (This is very rare for me :) But it was the end of the month and she couldn't talk becasue they are always swamped at work at that time. I forgot all about that day when a couple of weeks later I was in the basement with the kids and I got a call from my mom. She told me to come upstairs and open the door. There was my sister and her two boys!!!! Well I was so suprised! I cried!!! My dad and she had been planning this for a while and here she was in Nebraska!!!

We took this picture from my phone and sent it to Mike becasue he was at work. Then I called him, and he was all confussed he was like is this Brenda or Melissa, how did Melissa get my stocking??? (we look alike and sound identical!)


The boys loved the snow and EJ didn't want to get out.

Goooooooooooo Huskers!!!

EJ's birthday is in December so we had a mini party at my parents

The Cousins, Danny 3, Abbey 4, EJ 5, Maddie 2

Snow Daze

Monday night we got a call from Lincoln Public School that school would be closed due to the weather. So Tuesday all the kids I watch after school were here all day long as it snowed outside. It snowed and snowed and snowed! By Wednesday morning the snow was so bad that no one went to work....except Mike. He's been working like crazy...yay!!! The kids were still off school today due to the snow drifts and the temperature. It's been interesting trying to keep everyone busy, but it's been fun too.

Here's what the girls and I did on Wednesday. We made a gingerbread tree. It took 2hrs!!! I was exhausted afterward and we all had a nice long nap :)

The girls and the tree...after a few samples of the frosting :)
