Tuesday July 22nd

Today was a good day.  Landon did not fall out of his stroller onto the parking lot and I did not have to rush him to the hospital because of it, he does still have a bruise on his face, greyish front teeth (from something else, just not sure what really) and a rash on his rear but for the most part he did not do all of his own stunts today!  Maddy did her summertime fun and the reality is it should really be called, "Bring your kids here so we can wear them out for you and they will take LONG naps once they get home but be grumpy all the way there."  Thank you God for those wonderful people!  We did get some "Rain Drips" which is what I refer to as a Madelynnism . . . not drops, yes drips.  We have been working on converting the office/guest room into an office/guest room/playroom.  We have the day bed set up and I must say after the trip to Ikea in Orlando soon I think this idea is going to work.  I guess this is my way of not running from the toys but giving them a real place in our home to grow without me going crazy.  People say it all the time, kids require a lot of "things" and it's more then true.  I have little patches of toys everywhere and I just need to embrace the toys and make it work for us.  It won't last forever and one day I may even miss the little people scattered all about and the mooing barn and singing birthday cake.  Maddy asked me to play soccer with her today and that ALWAYS makes me smile, a soccer girl maybe?  *please, please, please* As cool as it is that I am blogging I must go to bed because who knows when L-man will decide he needs to be awake to eat his 3 jars of baby food for breakfast.  That kid is crazy and I think he gets it from his daddy!
