New Prize!
Grandpa and Grandma sent Madelyn money for her birthday. Maddy thought that was so cool and immediately whisked me off to Target to claim her prize. We went home with Pippi Longstocking, a Lego RV, and a Barbie. After quality time with dad putting it together Maddy placed it on the windowsill for pictures.
Oh, that store? No... I don't need that store.
My sweet little Maddy, who sometimes you may view as a girl with her head in the clouds can be so funny.
Daddy is off on business for the next few days, so as a treat after Nana and Papa's on Sunday I asked Maddy if she wanted to go to Christmas Tree Store. She jumped at the chance. She loves to pretend she is a grown up and pick out a couple things and go to the checkout by herself. Well, we parked the car and on our walk over to the store we passed Petco. Casually, very casually Madelyn glances at Petco. Oh, mom... that store? I don't need that store right? I don't have a pet. Oh well.
Agh! We will not get a pet. No matter how much guilt she throws my way!

Kielbasa Problems
As a family we eat turkey kielbasa probably once a week. A. it is easy. B. everyone loves it. BUT, we have hit a problem. On kielbasa night Reed must secretly know and insists on screaming and pulling at me until I feed him tiny pieces of it while I cook.
What's the solution? Tell Ray to come home early and wrangle him. HA!

Birthday Surprises!
In our house October means, countdown to Madelyn's birthday. There is not a day that goes by that we are not asked... "when is my birthday?" "how many weeks away is my birthday?"
We are also lucky to have one of the most supportive families in the world. Maddy is lucky too, because she seems to be able to celebrate her birthday on lots of days in October.
Last weekend, it was shopping with Nana. Maddy got a beautiful (and warm!) winter coat, mittens, boots, and toy bank.
And this past weekend, Mimi took Maddy shopping for a brand new toy. And then to lunch at her favorite restaurant. Maddy told me this has so far been the best birthday ever.
