GOOD NEWS ON THE WAY

LOOKING UP

Picture



addox loves weekends with her parents.  Especially weekends where the fire burns  for 72 hours straight.  Our house is 82 degrees in this photo!

Things are looking up this weekend.  Scott and I received some excellent news on Friday.  More information to come....  

We decided to celebrate by eating take home Chinese food on Friday night.  Maddox ate her first plate of rice, it was cute, rice pretty much everywhere except in her nose (whew).

The celebrations continues with Scott heading out to deer camp with a buddy on Saturday.  No he doesn’t hunt, but he does drink beer.  His evening was spent in a heated deer blind watching the leaves blow by since there were no animal sightings.  I told him he didn’t see the ‘big buck’ because he forgot to dab on his “liquid deer” (aka deer pee).

I celebrated by making brownies, enjoying a girls night, drinking wine, and playing silly flying games on the Nintendo Wii.  Maddox stayed up until 10:30 with us and even enjoyed a glass of prune juice.  This was a much needed night.  The best part is that the next morning,  Maddox slept in until 11:00, yeah!  I need to do this more often.

Drinking juice from a ‘glass’ glass was all fun and games until we cut her off.

We had great crowd control though.......

Totally on top of the cleanup.


Here is Maddox getting a thrill out of watching mommy play the flying duck game on the Nintendo Wii.  This video does not even come close to capturing how hilarious this was.  You know how it goes....by the time you get the camera set up, they don’t want to do it anymore so then you have to try to prompt it.   At least you can get the picture.


****VIDEO HERE****


And our big accomplishment for the weekend is the five foot wreath Scott and I made to hang above our garage this year.

Beautiful Wreath. For a Beautiful Family. Maddie is darling standing next to the wreath. She was really cheering you on while you were playing the video game. Loved watching the video.
