The Cute ones in the Family

The Mystery of the Missing Princess

Madee has 8 princesses that she got from the Disney Store. She has done a pretty good job of keeping track of them but the other day we could not find Jasmine. Then we asked her where Jasmine was and she told us this story. Jasmine is in the garbage. We asked her why she was in the garbage and she said her legs were broken. How did her legs break and she said she needed to go to the hospital. Then asked her where the hospital was and she said in the garbage. We asked her how she broke her legs and Madee said she turned into a monster. That is the Mystery of the missing Princess.

The Simple things in Life

Here are some conversations I have with Madee

Madee: Mom I went poopy in the potty
Mom: Good Job Madee
Madee: Mom now I want a barbie

Be careful what you bribe your kids with to go in the potty. It will come back to bite you. Madee does this one quite often. She wants a barbie every time she uses the potty.

Madee:Mom I want a drink
Mom:Then go get one
Madee:ok

She knows how to get her own drink but she always feels the need to tell me about it.

So my favorite part of the day is watching Madee and Sam interact. In the morning Sam is laying in his crib wide awake and Madee comes in and starts talking too him. She will say hi Sammy. A smile always breaks out on his face. Madee is his favorite person. She can get Sam to laugh more then anyone else. Sometimes Madee will take a blanket and put it over Sam and pull it off really quick. Its a fun game and almost always results in laughter from Sam and Madee.
Oh the simple things in life are great!

Halloween

A friends of ours made this flower arrangement in a class and gave it to me. I thought it was really cool that it was arranged in a pumpkin. Its was really pretty.
Trick or Treat time is here. Its too bad Madee's eyes are shut in this picture. Madee was a pretty Pretty Princess. Sam was orginally a hotdog but that costume would not work in the stroller (No Legs) so we switched to the pumpkin costume.
Madee loved going door to door to get candy. We went to our old bishops house trick or treating and only went to about four of five houses and Madee still wanted to go to just one more house. So we went back to our neighbourhood and Lincoln dropped us off (He had to work late). At least he got to come with us for part of the trick or treating. So back in our Neighbourhood we continued our trick or treating and Madee kept saying exactly that just one more house. Over and over. She had more candy then one little girl really needs. We will have to find a good hiding place for it.
Can I just say that Halloween is a really dark holiday. Lincoln was looking up the origin of Halloween on Wicapidia and he also came across the story of the Jack 'o Lantern. Very dark. Interesting story if you get a chance to read about it.

27 on the 27th

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINCOLN!! Yes Lincoln turned 27 on the 27th of Oct. Madee was so much more excited then Lincoln. When he came home from work, She ran to the car and screamed at the top of her lungs "Its your birthday Daddy..Its your birthday!"
Its a Mountain Dew Cake. (No Mountain Dew included) Madee wanted to help make the cake and bake the cake and eat the icing and put the candles on too. It was a fun evening. We love Lincoln and are glad he is finally catching up age wise.

Fishing trip

We Decided to do a fishing trip to Strawberry Res. Madee got to learn how to fish. She is only three and her attention span is not very long so when they were waiting to rile in the line Lincoln told her she needed to call the fishes by saying Here Fishy fishy. Sadly no fish were caught.
So this is how Lincoln carried the kids to the perfect spot to fish. Yes Madee demanded to be carried because Lincoln was carring Sam in the Backpack. Day Trips with kids are A lot of work.

Pumpkin Carving

For Family Home Evening on Monday night we decided to carve some pumpkins. Madee didn't like the gooey innards of the pumpkin so much but I think she did like drawing on the pumpkins and having help cutting her Jack o'lantern's faces out.
This it the greatest picture. Madee actually took it and she is becoming quite our little photographer.
Madee helped her Daddy put the candles in the Jack o'lanterns and we turned out all the lights so we could look at them in the dark and see how scary they are.
Madee is doing her very scary face next to her pumpkin. Happy Halloween Everyone!!
