costume parade at mother's day out...

Maddie and her friends at mother's day out program dressed up today for their costume parade... it was pretty much adorable. Seriously, what's cuter than two-year olds in silly costumes? Not much.

I tried to get some pictures of Maddie in the front of our house before we left, but of course... as always it was nearly impossible. This was the only one with her eyes at least looking at the camera. Oh well, we will try again soon.

Patting the buckeyes

Kevin and Maddie went outside to play the other day and they discovered our buckeye tree was covered with buckeyes!! They spent about an hour hunting and picking these buckeyes and when they came inside to show momma their bounty Maddie without hesitation announced they were "CiCi's buckeyes" and have been referred to as CiCi's ever since.

murray state homecoming parade...

This year the homecoming parade was a big hit... Can't believe this is our third year to take Maddie.

Maddie's very favorite... the mascots. Dunker, Air Dunker and Racer One.

"wooooooowwww"

Of course there was lots of sugar involved :)

She was thrilled to get a balloon... it was a big deal.

Some of the sirens were loud.

"biiiiiggg bus"... she thinks everything is a "big bus" even the little postal trucks.

Candy collecting...

There were quite a few interesting floats... like this one here were these guys felt like they needed to wear cheer leading outfits, hmmmm. Overall it was awesome, Maddie was really into checking everything out. We went to tent city later and Maddie had her face painted for the first time, she loved it.

bubble wrap encounter...

This was Maddie's first encounter with bubble wrap... she was a little shy at first but as soon as we put on her rain boots she was good to go. Lots of bubble dancing.

maddie gets kicked...

We had a sad day at mother's day out today :(

Right before I came to pick Maddie up a little boy was excited to see his momma walk through the door and started a kicking happy dance. Unfortunately, Maddie was not in on the happy dance moves and was kicked in the head right above her right eye. Needless to say, by the time I got there she was hysterical(which is not like her) and the momma bear came out in me a little. Even though I know it was no ones fault. Maddie instantly started crying and muttering... "kick, Hank, boo boo, sad, I sorry". I informed her when we got home that she didn't need to be sorry and that momma would spank Hank, lol... then I realized what I was saying to her. I then changed my tune to forgiveness and all that good stuff... I'm not ready for this phase of motherhood. The picture doesn't do her "kick" justice, but you get the idea... the next day it was bruised. My poor little girl.

such a poser...

Maddie was so pleased with herself about lining up her animal magnets she wanted to me to take her picture... she even posed with them. Such a ham.
