Cinco de Mayo

Life has been pretty crazy and about to get even more crazy with the high traveling season approaching, actually starting this next weekend with a trip to Wisconsin. Jason and I have been trying to get yard work done but we always seem to get side tracked by hanging out with friends and family, which of course is a lot more fun. We did get some work done though just a lot left to do.

Friday night, Marnie, Kendal, Maddy, and myself walked around the subdivision for the pre-rummage sale scoop. We had a great time. I sent Jason to a house to bargain for an outdoor play gym for Maddy on his way home from Bordines, but he missed the sale by a few minutes. Bummer! Here's a picture of Maddy Friday night eating a cookie after feeding herself some yogurt with a spoon.

Saturday morning, the four of us girls went back out to the rummages to find some more deals. We got an early start at 7:45 am, but still seemed a bit late for the big items. I got a few summer play clothes for Maddy, a small basketball hoop, and a Dora kitchen for outside. She is entertained for a little bit with it, just enough time to throw everything onto the porch then she is off getting into mischief...like getting into the refrigerator.

"Poppy seed dressing anyone?"

Saturday night after church, we went to Mike & Marnies for a Cinco de Mayo get together and to celebrate Sarah's birthday. The fajitas and pina coladas were delicious, as was the chocolate chip cookie dough blizzard cake. We had a great time, but stayed up way too late. Jason and I didn't get any pictures with our camera so I had to steal them from Kendal's blog. So, those of you that keep up with both blogs, I apologize for copying the pictures and seeing repeats.

Sometimes, Maddy thinks she's a dog.
She tries to eat dog food at home and here she is chewing on Cheetohs bone.

Brendon a moment before he decided that
Maddy would make good road kill.

Poor Maddy...first Brendon runs her over and then
Kendal steals her sippy cup.

Maddy decided that Marnie was a safe bet.
She was clinging to Marnie the rest of the night trying to stay away from Brendon and Kendal.

"Los Tres Amigos!"
(Photo shoot didn't go as good as we had hoped.)

Sunday we went to Jason's Aunt Janice's house in Williamston for a barbeque with the Kreider family. It was great to see everyone and let the kids play. Poor Maddy was quite out-numbered though, with 3 boy first cousins and 2 boy second cousins...she was the only girl, but she held her own.
