I've got this cozy little house.....just come in and lets see what kind of trouble we can get into!!! (won't take much!!!)



bubble bubble toil and more trouble..lol (just had to say that as I've been working on three halloween swaps...and just felt right with maddy blowing her bubbles...)







and
MAXX...well he huffed and puffed...

...and quite couldn't do it...
but then again....with this as a distraction...just a few feet from our back yard...




....and a scampering chipmunk skipping thru the yard with a pair of two year old feet running after him....

NONNIE!!! he ran THAT WAY!!! COME SEE!!!



COME SEE!!!


HE'S GONE...i'm going back to see the TRUCKS again!!!

A month ago...i would have said that I would probably start liking my job...when pigs fly...quite the phrase that evokes a never gonna happen thing...

...WELL while there is still so much i need to learn for the job...and the 12 hour days kick my butt...it's going okay!!! and guess what...



YEP...beginning to like my job!!! and see pigs DO FLY!!!

THANKS for being out there...

HAPPY 8th BIRTHDAY, MADDY!!!!

Wednesday (tommorrow) or perhaps today...depends when i get this posted...Maddysen turns EIGHT!!! where oh where has the time gone...

tonite...while mommy and daddy were at work...Maddy, auntie Kaleigh and I went out to a local park and did a birthday photo shoot...Maddy got to put on her new dress...that she will wear...for her birthday...and brought her doll, Meggin along too!

Auntie Kaleigh french braided both of their hair...just for the occasion...

I printed out these pics as a suprize for mommy and daddy...as a gift from Maddy to them!

So here she is...the newly turned EIGHT...YEAR....OLD......

MADDYSEN ISABELLE...











HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABY!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!

Tuesday...and we had a visitor...

thinking he is quite the little showbug...he went from resting on maxx's green golf club to doing a jig on the patio table...

"COME QUICK, NONNIE!!! COME QUICK!!! BRING THE CAMERA!!!"







Then after spending a little time with him...(or it is her?) we had to go in to google leaf bug...

Miss Maddy has been doing a count down...each day...she will come up for a snuggle and say..."nonnie, only ___ (insert appropriate number) more days!!! Her birthday is on the 19th...and of course I will insert some frivolous doing that has nothing to do with her birthday...like "oh yes...it's ___ (insert appropriate day count) until national sweep the sidewalk day! ETC...to which she throws up her arms..."NONNIE!!!!"

I can't believe she will already be EIGHT!!!! I feel soooo OLD...LOL...

Job going okay...i'm learning so much...just got to get used to the long day...

Well I'm heading down to the basement this morning...the road crew pounding on the pavement for the new street knocked down a big stack of boxes..and thus far i found that one of my FAVORITE cups...was smashed on the floor...
