First sleepover!

Madison, you recently had your first sleepover. You've slept at our family and our close family friend's houses when your brother was in the hospital, but you've never been to an all friends sleepover before. It was for your friend Mary and you all had a blast! You went to sleep at 10 and got up at 4, but you made it the entire night without any worries. You were nervous about not having bobo with you (you are too embarrassed to bring him places, but not ready to give him up at this point) but you did great. It's hard to see you growing up and ready for big girl things like this, but we are so proud of who you are and are thankful you have sweet friends to enjoy fun memories with!  

Hallowee 2019

This Halloween was so much fun, even though the weather was terrible! You picked out the family costumes this  year and we had fun painting your face green as the Wicked Witch of the West! The neighborhood decided to open up shop as early as possible for the younger kids and then try later after the storm passed. This gave us the opportunity of hitting a few houses with just the two of us before daddy and brother were even home. I enjoyed walking and talking and trick or treating with you. Once everyone else got there, we were able to hit a few houses and then had to run home when the tornado sirens went off! Thankfully, the storm passed quickly and you and daddy got out to hit more houses. 


BEST.DAY.EVER!

Over Fall break this year, we decided to do Disney world. Since Grandmommy and Grandaddy live close by, we decided to stay with them and then just try one day at Disney World to see how it went. We drove down and spent the night with Grandmommy and Grandaddy and then drove to a condo nearby Disney where we played in the splash pad and pool and ate a yummy dinner before bed. The next morning we got up bright and early and we were off! We didn't know what to expect since we hadn't been in a long time and never with kids, but we got there early enough to do a ton before our fast passes and then had a blast as the day continued! It really went about as perfectly as it could have. Andrew napped, Madison was a great sport and seeing the look on both of your eyes made every ounce of the financial part of the trip and the tired mommy and daddy part of the trip 1 million times worth it! We really did have THE.BEST.DAY.EVER!

Madison's highlights: Riding space mountain and loving it, riding Splash Mountain twice, watching the parade, eating fun treats all day long!

Andrew's highlights: meeting Mickey Mouse. eating ice cream, "driving" the cars.
