Party Week!

We had a crazy week and a half around here. Starting with Madison' Easter Party at school and Easter. Didn't do much around here for it. Talked to the kids alittle about what Easter really means and did small baskets and Easter hunt. Made Madison a shirt for her birthday using freezer paper and fabric paint. Turned out really cute. I think it's gonna be my new thing! Got some great ideas for baby shower gifts :) Madison took cupcakes to school on Tuesday for her birthday. And we had a small party for her on Wednesday. Took her and a friend to Monkey Island, oh and Austin of course! They had a blast jumping around and I was impressed with how Austin was able to keep up with the big kids. Came back to the house and had cupcakes and ice cream and presents.
Madison's big weekend started out with a visit from her Grandma Terri and her first of two swims in a pool! She loves it and I really need to get here into swimming lessons so she'll get out of her brothers floaty LOL. Saturday was her first Tball game!! She did awesome, didn't hit like she can, but all in all they did so good!! GO TUMBLEWEEDS!! After the game Kevin, Michelle, and the girls came out to the house to play alittle and open their gifts. Went to Lunch at MD's and then swimming again at their hotel. Can't believe how much those girls can splash :) After that we came out to the house for the BBQ. Had great food and good company! The girls got to stay the night. They did awesome. They watched a movie and then headed to bed where Kait and Madison stayed up talking while Kenzie passed out, only for alittle bit though. The younger girls told us that Kenzie got up and read a book. At 4am Madison came into my room and said she had nowhere to sleep. The air matress had lost some air and Kenz and Kait were sleeping in the middle. That made Madison sad, but she was ok going back to sleep in her bed, after alittle crying and convincing! The girls got up around 7 and Garrett made us some very yummy apple muffins! Dad hung around for alittle after everyone else left which was nice to get to spend some alone time with him. The kids made him play ring around the rosie!! So cute and they did alittle coloring with chalk together. Very fun weekend and we loved seeing everyone. To those who couldn't come we thank you for all the gifts you sent....See you soon and pictures will come sometime this week!!
