Finished By Friday

One morning last week I had fallen back asleep just to be awakened to "This is the day. This is the day. That The Lord hath made. That The Lord hath made..." coming from the monitor in Madelyn's room. :)  I'm not gonna lie, that'll take your first thought of "Really? I have to get up now?" and stop it right in its tracks!  I couldn't help but smile and drag myself out of bed to start our day.  I just love that girl!  She always has a song in her heart.  Just about the time I'm completely fed up with her being a two year old and not listening or whining or whatever... She'll randomly start singing any number of the, must be, dozens of songs she knows either that I've taught her or she's heard on klove. It always amazes me when I realize I recognize a new song she's singing. She usually has the tune learned to where you can recognize it before you could tell what words she is actually singing (which is also kinda amazing for her age...

Every year, our church has a Trunk or   Treat, complete with candy and doughnuts and cider and hot dogs and games and this year, fudge and string cheese (a BIG hit!). This year the weather was particularly yucky so they had it in the school cafeteria instead of the parking lot as usual. We were ok with not freezing our tails off. Jon pulled out his wig and glasses again and we had Minnie Mouse and the cutest little pumpkin in the patch (if I do say so myself :D). I'm not sure who enjoyed it more... The little girl is already quite a social bug and was all excited and squealing when we left.
