A Nice Blend!!

That's exactly what this past week was, a nice blend! Of what? Well, fun and chaos of course! Pat was in town for the first part of the week, and we got the opportunity to sit court side at the Bucks game!! What an awesome experience! I never realized how tall these NBA players are until they are inbounding a ball right in front of you! It just so happened my mother-in-law was staying with us the night that we were offered the tickets - PERFECT!! It was a nice treat for Pat and I to get out!! **Thank you Cindy!**

Us at our seats - awesome!!!!

Then Pat headed out of town for work for a few days which left me and Maddie in charge of this place! We spent countless hours taking care of her babies and putting "ponies" in her hair! It is so much fun to watch her imagination unfold before my eyes. Her babies now poop and need to sit on the potty, have a runny nose that needs a tissue, and need to sit at the dinner table and eat with us! Cracks me up. . . .but that's a typical day at the "office" for me!

Maddie and her "ponies"


I had been looking forward to this past weekend for quite awhile because I didn't have to work, and we had a wedding to go to! Maddie would be in Horicon at my parents so Pat and I could enjoy the night out as adults and spend some time with our friends! I wake up Saturday morning to find myself sick as a dog!!! WHY this weekend? WHY??????? I managed to clear the gunk from my throat, get the eye boogers removed, and get jacked up on cold meds just in time to make it for the dinner! It wasn't the ideal night, but we still got to spend some time with friends! **Thanks for watching Maddie mom and dad!**

For feeling like death, I clean up nicely!



Another week with Pat in CA for work. Maddie and I are both trying to get back to 100% one day at a time! I decided to drop everything today and have a Mommy and Maddie shopping day! No cleaning, no working, nothing. . . .just a day for her and I to hang out! After her siesta, we are going to head out to spend some more of dad's money! When I told Maddie that we were going to do some shopping for Christmas, this is how she reacted. . . . .

Maddie:"Shhhh mama, he watchin!"
Me: "Who's watching?"
Maddie: "Tanta"
Me: "You mean Santa??"
Maddie: "Uh huh, now shhhhh!"

These are the moments that I want to bottle up and keep forever!!!
