Bedtime Banana

Madison was eating a banana before bedtime tonight. When I got the camera, she began to act silly......

Mr. Tom gets a Buzz Cut

Celebratory cigars for Baby Addison were smoked while Joe cut Tom's hair........

There's nothing like a good cigar.......

Sometimes I sit, sometimes I sit and think......

It's tough being 2.........

Nameplate

After 19 years at my job, I finally get a nameplate.......boy, do I feel special!!

Madison is such fun......

I only worked til 10 this morning, then took off to go school clothes shopping with Morgan. I should have stayed at work. It was a costly morning!! I took clothes to change in to from working to shopping. My slacks and black pumps were in the back seat. Tonight after the band program, Madison and I were chatting on the way home. I knew she was messing around with my heels but had no idea what she was doing until I stopped at home. Papa helped her out of the carseat and I heard the "clop, clop, clop" of heels on the concrete. When I looked at her, I couldn't help but laugh and I went to get the camera for Papa to take a picture. She had not only put on my black heels but my knee high hose as well. Look really close at the second picture. She looks like she has nylons on because they are so long on her. She looks like some of the little old ladies I have seen.......

Meet The Band

Tonight was "Meet The Band" night at Morgan's high school. We had a barbeque sandwich dinner while listening to the band play, and then went outside to watch the "march off", where the band director calls out commands until there is only one person left marching.

New Muffler

Morgan got a new muffler on her car. She was so excited. The old one had a HUGE hole in it and you could hear her coming down the road a mile away.......

"It is so shiny....."

First Motorcycle Ride

Madison took her first ride on Papa's motorcycle today. She gave it a "thumbs up" when she got back.

She is pretty cool in her Winnie the Pooh sunglasses......

Share the Love

I don't think that I mentioned that our "special" kitty disappeared a while back. Morgan and I came back from church one Sunday and the cat was nowhere to be found. Greg says he has seen a very large owl in the area. I would rather think that the kitty took a ride under the car and is now living somewhere else. The remaining cat gets a lot of attention from Madison. She is so rough with her "love" but this sweet tempered cat pretty much lets her do whatever she wants to with her. I don't think the cat ever shows her claws to Madison. This is the lovin' today.

"OK, turn your head this way...."

"Smile for the camera, kitty!!!"

This last picture makes me laugh out loud every time I look at it. Madison looks so pleased and the cat would obviously rather be somewhere else......

Sundays are Fun!!

The girls and their "kissy" faces......

Monkey Shirt

This is Madison's new favorite shirt. She calls it her "monkey shirt". She wants to wear it again tomorrow but it got just a little dirty at daycare today. Maybe we will try for later.....

So far Waco has missed all the rain from the hurricane. San Antonio and Houston really got hit hard but it hasn't made it this far yet. We could certainly use a shower or two as it has been hot and dry for several weeks now.

So glad it is Friday. It has been a long week. Everyone have a great weekend!! pk

Headbands

We went shopping Tuesday after work and Madison had been wanting Aunt Mo's headbands. She picked out a package. The blue headband went to daycare on her head today but I was informed by Madison that it got broken. I think there was a small skirmish with another young lady over it. I was outside watering my plants this afternoon and when I turned around, Madison had been in her room retrieving the remaining headbands. I assume she figures if one is good, then five must be really good.........

This is how she insisted on wearing them the rest of the afternoon.....

It was picture day at daycare today. I thought Madison looked quite sweet in this new tank top and bermuda shorts.

IKEA in Round Rock

Potty Time

I have Morgan's blessing for putting this on here. She thought it was a cute picture with both of them on the potty.........

Busy Sunday

Madison looked so cute this morning when she was ready for church. Morgan's idea for the picture of the two of us.......

Later this afternoon, after another romp through the sprinkler, we had a really good watermelon.

A Relaxing Saturday

After the sprinkler, Madison decided to relax on the hammock.

I took a minute to take some pictures of my miniature roses.

Then someone came along to help me get a better look at them........

What sweet little hands!!!

In The Sprinkler

What is a Texas summer without some time playing in the sprinkler? Madison rode with Papa on the riding mower for a while today and got pretty dirty. We decided that a good way to get clean was to play in the sprinkler. She stripped out of her clothes and had to be convinced to keep her diaper on!!
