Well you know its hard living the life of an adored sister. I am constantly getting requests to update my blog. Honestly not that much happens in the small town of Gainesville, FL. Lately we have been hot, humid, and experiencing daily showers, well at least at our house. We have been hanging out mostly at home in order to stay cool and conserve funds although we do swim at the pool and go to the free movie once a week. But of course that doesn't mean we have been short on the laughs with Madison.
Here is how I found Madison last Tuesday after returning from my shower. Apparently the pink and purple bed time friends where invited out to watch Handy Mandy movie style. I am sure if Madison could have reached the movie snacks they would have shared those too.
I have been going through some of the boxes in the spare closets in order to consolidate things before we move whenever that may be. Well one of these boxes had Chris' very old Sony Walkman. I think it is one of the originals because it is very heavy and clunky. Well Madison asked what it was as she is mashing all the buttons and I told her it plays music. Of course then she wanted to hear it so I found some batteries and her headphones and went to put in a tape for her, which she also wanted to know what is that. We quickly found out that the tape player no longer works but I switched it to the FM function and she listened to the music for a few minutes and danced. Then decided holding the player was too much work and she moved on to something else. I am sure if Madison's Uncle Justin were to read this in his "All things Apple Wisdom" he would say that girls needs an ipod but for now we will stick to CDs in the car.
And here we have Madison today as she was all dressed for church this morning. I love that little grin and those freshly trimmed locks. And yes of course we are carrying the ever popular Tinkerbell cell phone. This thing goes everywhere with us. We have all posed for numerous photos and bideos, aka videos, yes even poor little Aggie. Honestly I am thankful that the playback feature was deleted from this model because I am sure most of the photos are headless or of my behind. Madison is constantly running up to me saying "Mommy say cheese." We definitely have a budding photographer, pretty much if Chris and I are in the same photo then Madison has taken the picture.
No photo to go along with this one but its funny. So today we were driving home from church and Madison asks me, "Mommy where do we live." I responded well right now we live in Gainesville. Then Madison asks where will we live when we move? (Now we haven't talked with Madison about moving but I guess she has just taken this in from our other conversations. ) I said well Madison I think we are going to live in Atlanta for awhile. "Lanta I don't want to live in Lanta." Madison there are going to be so many fun things to do in Atlanta, we can go to the zoo, and the aquarium and kids museums. And best of all its a lot closer to Grammy and Grandpa. "Are we going to live with Grammy and Grandpa?" No baby we are not going to live with Grammy and Grandpa but we will live closer. "Yeah they live far far away." Yes sweetie they do. "I don't want to live in Lanta they have dogs. " Well I started thinking what is she talking about dogs for, its not like she knows Georgia is bulldog country, then she goes on a little more and I realize she is talking about the people that live in the house right next door to Grammy and Grandpa and they have two dogs that are sometimes in the front yard. I explained that we wouldn't exactly be that close to Grammy and Grandpa. She then said "Well why don't they just come live with us." So according to Madison I need to find a pretty big place in Atlanta because we are going to have an apartment full of invited guests/roommates.
The Great Mystery. After the "Lanta" conversation Madison quickly moves on to ask me "Mommy you know that door that you go by everyday where does it go?" I am racking my brain trying to figure out what the heck is she talking about. Mommy you know the one by the glass windows and the bushes. Madison I don't know what you are talking about. Is it the bathroom door, no; the closet door, no; I don't know you are going to have to show me. Well as soon as she jumps out of the car she runs over to the Mystery Door. I guess this door has been bothering her for sometime. Honestly it really doesn't make much sense but this door is kind of the the door to no where, at least not anywhere fun. I told her to follow me and I would show her. You see this door is just another awkward entrance to our garage off our front porch. Most of the houses in our neighborhood have doors on the other side for easy access to the backyard but not ours. When I showed her the inside of the garage and the door hidden behind the giant trash dumpster she had this quizzical yet relieved look on her face. We had solve mystery of The Mysterious Door.
So to my adoring fans I hope that this post will be enough to hold you over as it looks like a week of just more of the same. Next weekend we are driving to SC for Chris to meet with his Clemson Grad School Advisor and of course to visit with family as well. So I am sure we will have more fun stories to share. Madison doesn't know yet but I am sure the first thing she is going to ask is "Can I Go Fishing?" This girl is hooked for sure.
