The Past Week
Posted by Ida , Tuesday, August 31, 2010
Madelyn, looking like such a big girl! The weather was cool last week so, MJ sported her jeans a couple of days. Oh, isn't she a cutie!
Mimi, William and Madelyn played outside, took a walk and played inside too. William didn't nap, but that meant early bed time! While they were on their walk Mommy worked on a project for Daddy. You can see it at Mommy and Katie's blog.
William has definitely been hearing what Mommy says when she talks. He was feeding Madelyn yesterday and as he gave her the food he says, "Here ya go, sweetie." Randomly, Mommy will hear him say to Madelyn, "Let me see those teeth." Super, super cute, he said to Mimi, "Sweetheart, Mimi" as she was working on something.
Friday, Maureen, Leslie and Abe came for a visit. So fun! They played in the family room, backyard and then had lunch. Burly and Duke hung in the backyard while all of this was going down. Actually, Burly hung and Duke barked. Not as much as normal though, so it was bearable.
Just before they left Mommy enlisted Maureen to help her move Madelyn's dresser down stairs. All the kids hung in Madelyn's crib to be out of the way. And this gives you an idea of how it went...
Saturday...garage sale. The fam was up and at 'em bright and early (nothing unusual there) preparing for the garage sale. It was a beautiful day and it was hot compared to earlier in the week. The garage sale was a success, but Mommy thought people were cheap and tried to get something for nothing. All in all, money was made, but not as much as Mommy hoped, items were sold, but again, not as much as Mommy thought. Good thing is, during naps, Mommy piled everything she no longer wanted (basically everything except baby clothing and gear) into the van and after naps, Madelyn, William and Mommy dropped it all off at Good Will.
Daddy went to a friend's bachelor party so, Mommy made French toast for dinner. Daddy doesn't like breakfast for dinner. It was delicious, both William and Mommy agreed!
Sunday morning Mommy packed up William and Madelyn and went grocery shopping at Wegman's. Mommy is getting used to the 7AM, Sunday morning Wegman's trip. It is so quiet and it is done with and out of the way for the week!
Later, everyone, except Duke, went to Eric and Maureen's for dinner and to visit a couple of Daddy's college buddies. William and Madelyn were troopers - they allowed Daddy to visit until 8. Madelyn fell asleep almost immediately in the car and Mommy was able to transfer her easily. William was off to bed soon after.
Monday back to work for Daddy. Nana is on vacation this week so she came over to visit. She was amazed at Madelyn's dare devil behavior and loved playing with William. She a lunch of PB & J and carrots and read William two books before he went in for a nap.
Dinner was at Mimi and Papa's with Katie and MaryJo. It was great seeing them and dinner was delicious!
Tuesday, Daddy stayed home from work! How awesome. It was a fun-filled family day. After Madelyn's morning nap they all headed to Glen Falls for a nice walk. They watched the water falls and dukes. Daddy and William went to look for critters under rocks, but didn't have much luck. Then, they went to Panera for a yum-yum lunch. Madelyn even enjoyed eating an apple!
It is great having Daddy home during the week!
Madelyn climbed two stairs today!
Here are a bunch of videos from the month of August...
