We have a lot to talk about!!!

Hello to all!!!
It has been an eventful time since the last blog. The last time we showed you how wonderful she could write on the walls, and this time it only gets better.

I will start will the uneventful things and save the best for last.

These are pics of Madalene at Grandpa Bob and Grandma Jaynie's sitting in her princess chair. We went up the first weekend of February for Seth's masters classes.

Madalene as usual has to have her accessories!!!!

We went to a friends house the weekend of the 7th. I had to capture her sleeping. There are times that I wish she always looked so sweet.

Also the weekend of February 7th we went to help a freind work on an addition to his house. Madalene always likes to be in the middle of things, just in case Dad needs some help.

So now on to more interesting things. We have had a very eventful time with Madalene since I have started my student teaching. Within the last two weeks she has tested all of the limits. You saw the writing on the wall, then there was the day she emptied an entire tube of foundation on the back of Sammy,(telling me "Sammy has his makeup on) and the other night she dumped gallons of water onto the bathroom floor (we have carpet in there). So to top off her wonderful behavior on Thursday night we were at Uncle Tim's house and she does the one thing that I have been terrified of her doing. Madalene found a pair of scissors, Tim didn't even know they existed, and cut herself some bangs!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! This is what we get for saying that we have been so lucky to have a child that has been pretty easy thus far to raise. So here are some pictures of her hair cut. I have not trimmed the hair, what you see is what she did. She does not like the fact that her hair is always in her face, so we have decided to let her suffer for a little while.

She did not want me to take pictures of her hair, so she told me she was going to have her angry face on!!!!!! She does not like to talk about what happened!!!!

So on to what is going on today. We got Madalene a swingset for her Birthday, and today is the day for the construction of it. I have some pictures from this morning and hopefully later there well be more.

(The Before)

This is the site were the swingset is going to go.

The Hardware!

The lumber.

We recruited some help from Garrett and his boy Collin. As you can see we now have two big helpers.

Everything is set out and ready to go!

Seth and Garrett went to get some mulch, so the kids thought they would play before work started again.
