A Bit About Each

Grace wore a shirt a few days ago that says, "Daddy's Girl". Reece, Madison and I were at school and Grace was to spend the day with her daddy. Mike had some errands out in Portland to do, so he told Grace to get dressed. She came out with her shirt on and told Mike, "See my shirt, Dad? I'm wearing it because I love you and this is our day."

This kid is insane. I dared him to run through the fountain. I told him, if he did it, I would do it too. He called my bluff and ran through it. Then, trying to really make me pay, he kept running through it and got completely drenched. He figured, that however many times he ran though, I would have to run through. I told him, this Mama only made one deal, he go through,
I go through. That's it. Anyways, I went through and of course, got pretty wet and cold. But, for one evening, I was a cool mom who still played around.

Madison is becoming quite the young lady. She has become a very good brownie baker. I love that I can ask her to make some brownies and she will go and do it all herself. She has opinions about everything. I love to go shopping with her and giggle when she heads to the sale racks to save money or will find coupon and pull it and put it into my coupon folder. She is a great help to keep tally of my spending when we grocery shop. She is very loving and affectionate.
