Title:

Happy Birthday Maddie!

Post Text

Today is Maddie's 10th birthday. Yesterday we celebrated her and Laurens Birthdays. Lauren will be 8 next Monday. We had the family over yesterday for a cook out. It was nice, Jared’s parents and mine were here, my sisters, my brother~in~law, all my nieces and nephews, and the girls each had a friend. The theme was pigs and butterflies. I tried to talk Maddie into cows or Lauren into ladybug’s, neither of them were having it though. So we did a butterfly piñata and pig decorations, and made it work with pink and purple decorations and tablewear. We did pin the tail on the pig, which Jared made by hand, yes he is that crafty, and Jared and I made pig snorts for the kids to wear. However the only pictures I got of anyone in them were the grandparents (such good sports). God love my mother~in ~law, I think that is the only picture she has actually let me take, the rest I have to be sneaky. The girls hit the jackpot on presents, my sisters got them gift cards, and a visa card so needless to say they were waking me up bright and early ready to go shopping. So we went and did Maddie’s birthday lunch at Bob Evans and I took them to Target . Maddie decided on just one thing with her card as where Lauren got three. Lauren tried to explain to Maddie that if she managed her money better she could get more also, at which point WWF Smackdown broke out in Target. The funny thing is with Maddie and Lauren, if they're apart for more then an hour they want to call each other and they miss each other soooo much, but you get them together and they pick pick pick at each other. I remember I use to do that to my sisters also; needless to say I spent a lot of time playing by myself. Besides that I am off today and tomorrow, I told Jared I was going to try to go through and organize the closets, I haven’t gotten any done, since I was working on the girls birthday scrapbook, did all five pages, saved it, or so I thought, closed it went back and in and it said it was corrupted. Uggghh, story of my life. And now its too late and I am tired and ready for bed.
