I fail and Thanksgiving

So I totally failed at writing a blog entry everyday for the month. Oh well.

We had a nice week off last week, where we went to my Mom's in Maine. Madelyn had a great time. She got to play with the swing set, Baxter, Crazy, my Mom and Grandpa Jeff. It even snowed! It snowed 9 inches, so we played in the snow too.

Here are a few photos that were from my phone, when I can I will upload the ones from my camera.

Madelyn on the swing!

Love

This is what I currently see. I love it. I love her. It still amazes me that I can love someone as much as I love her.

Halloween

I am glad that Madelyn was not older this Halloween because it sucked was not great. Since the snow storm had come through over the weekend, there were so many downed power lines, trees, and no power that they cancelled Halloween. Our mayor decided he was not going to reschedule it either.

So poor Madelyn was all dressed up and ready but could not go door to door. My brother and his wife were over though and they helped make it fun. We had Madelyn go around the living room and trick or treat to us! It was cute and honestly she was SUPER excited. She even managed to say something that sounded like "trick or treat".

They left to go to a concert and we were feeling pretty down for Madelyn. Although, I don't think she even noticed. So we packed her up and brought her to her cousins house. They had their light on and had a few trick or treaters so we figured we could hang. Madelyn went to one of the neighbor's houses there.

She then got to play with her cousin. They ran around SCREAMING for most of the night lol. It was actually very amusing. They eventually calmed down and I got several pics of them being very cute. Hopefully next year will be better, because by then, she might actually understand what you do on Halloween!

My little strawberry. That is her Uncle Matt next to her.

National Blog Posting Month

So it is National Blog Posting Month, basically you try and post everyday for a month. I am already two days behind but I thought it would be fun to try it. So here is my first..

So Last weekend we got snow. It was the first time in more then 100 years we had snow on Halloween. Madelyn thought it was really fun. We took her out the night it snowed and she loved catching the snow on her tongue. She also like to eat the snow, I warned her several times to not eat the yellow snow!!! Hopefully she remembers that important fact.. :)

She also tried to help Daddy shovel, it was funny. She decided supervising him was better! The next day, she tried to help me shovel and ended up just walking around and "dropping" into the snow. It was really fun watching her in the snow. Last year she was just to young to understand what snow was and what was going on. But this year, she thought it was very cool. She wanted to go out in it all day.

Seems like she will be like her Momma, because I love snow. I love the way it looks and feels. I used to love to play in it and always had fun. I hope she grows up to appreciate the different seasons we have here and not feel burdened by them when they come around.
