May Holiday Rocks!

TV Turn Off Week was not too bad - Maddie spent most of her time running around instead of watching her favorite cartoons. This usually meant that she was EXHAUSTED in the evenings when it was time for bed. She was even EXHAUSTED when the May Holiday started on Saturday! Pics like this don't happen that often anymore because Maddie is always on the go!

Jeff and Daneah were coming over for brunch so Maddie and I prepared by making sugar cookies! When Maddie is at school, every Friday is "Cooking Day" so when I told her that we were going to cook, she told me that it must be Friday! There was flour from floor to ceiling, but we had lots of fun and Maddie is quite the little mixer. We didn't quite finish when Jeff and Daneah showed up so we'll have to save the frosting and sprinkles session for later.

It was GREAT to have Jeff and Daneah over as Maddie always shows off for Jeff. She used to just run around and neigh like a horse, but now that her vocab is increasing, she goes to get things and shows him all of her worldly possessions!

May Holiday has been really relaxing so far. We've gone on shopping trips to scope out what's in babyland in China. Andy has rearranged most of the furniture in our house - with Maddie's approval of course. We baked cookies, enjoyed Jeff and Daneah's company... now it's back to school here within the next couple of days. Something tells me that Maddie is REALLY going to be ready!
