To share and never forget: Labor Day Celebration 2010

Labor Day is a special day. Not because it is a holiday, but becuase it is a day that Zak, Mady, and I can spend together doing "family things". I had decided that we would get a kids movie for the morning and we would watch it in our bed. With Mady of course. She picked out TinkerBell. I love kid movies. I cooked english muffin, cheese, eggs, and yummy bacon. I cooked it all myself. OMG. I was so proud of myself becuase it turned out AMAZING. Way better than any resturaunt could have made it! I think I will add it to my list of "I can cook this" recipes! After the movie, breakfest, and a shower.. it was time to start the day. Off to the dollar general. We spend $50!! HOLY COW. What is sad is that we went to the dollar general instead of Walmart to save money. O well, we prob. would have spent more at walmart anyways. Now I will let the pictures tell the rest of the story of what we did on Labor Day..

Our outside adventure started with some bubbles

She loves bubbles! Notice the one on her knee.

Then it was time for a bug hunt, this soon turned into a

"lets see how many berries we can find hunt"

We did find a "pretty cool 'pider" and a Snail (minus the snail)

The grasshopper is the only bug we caught for the bug house.

Little did I know what would happen next...

Madyson was looking in the bug house and the top opened up just a little. That smart little grasshopper found his way to the top. Then all of a sudden, just when I look up BOING. Out jumps the grasshopper. At that very second, Madyson had seen it too. She screamed, ~~tossed~~ chunked the bug house, and ran off crying. I could not help but laugh at the situation. She is so darn cute when she cries! Poor little girl, Smart little grasshopper!

After all was calmed down. We began our next adventure...

" 'Pashing in the water puddles"

Then my little chica says,

"Daddy, my hands are allll wet from the puddles you made, I think I just need to wipe them on you!"

So we are just sitting around on the stairs, playing with chalk. I am looking at some of my pictures I just took of her in the puddles and she looks at me, with her cute little face, and says..

"Mommy, ... maybe we can have a funny face photo shoot"

So we did..

She makes the most amazing funny faces! Then she looks at herself in the pictures and laughs sooooo hard! It makes my heart smile!

It is sunny outside but the rain boots are on and the umbrella is out.

Wonder what cool things we can do?

I love these! She says "Mommy, it is pretending to be rain!" I love the one of her running from it. Prob. one of my fav pics of the day.

Then she says "Mommy, it is a water limbo"

Next... Soccor! She was pretty good in the rain boots!

The picture below reminds me of my little sister Kayla. She use to play soccor and for some reason Madyson's face, legs, and body language just scream Kayla to me. Again, makes my heart smile!

She kicks the ball, she kicks it in, GOAL!

High Five Daddy

Best story of the day..

She wants to be the goaly, so she gets into position, squats down, and then she says... "Do it mommy, I just know you can do it!" What a wonderful goalleader (goaly + cheerleader)

She gets out the beach toys and I start to listen to the converstation she is having with these toys. and she says,

"Boat, would you like to ride in the wheelsbarrow with 'pider and pirate?" of course the boat answered "yea"

So they did just that...

Next it was time for "the big race"

(I think that quote came from Dora)

1....2....3...GOOO

We ended the outside adventure with a water gun fight. There are not many pictures of this becuase I had to put down the camera and join in on all the fun! It ended with wet hair, wet shoes, and wet clothes! What any amazing day!!
