Madelyn Turns 3!!!

In case you couldn't tell...this is Cinderella hair.

This is Madelyn's birthday breakfast of choice-cinnamon rolls. Mmmmm!!!

Madelyn chose the Wizard of Oz cake, surprising, I know. She identified all of the characters and then when I asked her who was is the middle, she said a girl. Yes, even a 3-year-old knows that Dorothy doesn't have yellow hair and doesn't wear a red dress with a purple shirt. Oh well, the cake was great any way!

We had this slide set up in the backyard. The party started at 3:30, and the sky fell out from about 3:00 until 3:15. We were able to go on with the show and the kids had a ball.

The birthday girl thinks, Where should I poke my finger first?



Our attempt at a shot with the birthday girl...ALL of these pictures had a finger in the nose!

Where do chicken nuggets come from?

Monday afternoon, I took Emma and Madelyn to visit the nurses at Chad's office. Dr. Bob was there and told the girls that they could come to his house to help him pick vegetables in his garden.

Fast-forward to tonight. The four of us were sitting at the table eating dinner, and our conversation went a little something like this:

E: Daddy, when can we go to Dr. Bob's?
Me: You mean to pick vegetables?
E: Yeah.
C: Well, we can't go tonight because it's raining, but maybe we can go to Dr. Bob and Mrs. Debbie's this weekend.
M: I don't like vegetables. (insert 'we know that' look on my face to Chad) Does he have (inaudible)?
C: What Maddie?
M: Does he have chicken nuggets?
C and me at the same time: In his garden?
M: Yeah.

laugh, laugh, laugh....

She was DEAD serious!!!! What does she think? McDonald's has a chicken nugget garden?

Like, Totally

Sunday night, Chad was putting Emma to bed.  After he read to her they had this conversation:

C:  Emma, did you have fun at Maddie's party?  (pictures soon to follow)

E:  Her party was totally cool.

C:  Really?  Did you like the slide?  (we had a water slide)

E:  It was genius.

We'll never know who she heard that from!
