You Did What?!

Let me set the scene...

Chad had just left for a trip into town to buy a few groceries, I am trying to start a fire in the wood burning stove we have, Hayden is getting fussy on the floor(nap time), and I hear Madison start to cry. Oh brother, what now! The last time I checked on her (just a few minutes ago) she was sitting making Christmas ornaments with melting beads. I leave my fire making post and go to meet her in the hallway. After asking what was wrong, Madison precedes to tell me that she. here goes, stuck one of the melting beads up her nose and can not get it out. "You did what!" was my first comment. Next came the flashlight, no luck can't see a thing. Then, came a phone call to Chad to get him to come home in case we have to go to the doctor to get it out. Also a phone call to my mom for suggestions. Try making her sneeze and just take her in was all the help I got. Great! It is the day before the family Christmas party, a few hours before the in-laws come in, and 1 hour before leaving time for dance. Well, after an attempt with sniffing pepper and 6 good blows out of one nostril out it came. Madison and I were both very excited to have it fly out of her nose.
I guess use this as a warning. Even though the age is 4+ on a craft don't leave it to your five year old to behave. She said she did it because Hayden told her to. Does she not understand that he is only 5 months old.

What a day!

The Big Show

It is that time of year for Madison to start working on her dances for recital. The theme this year is another wonderful disney movie and one of Madison's favorites.

Mary Poppins

We are all very excited about this. I think that the best part for Madison is that Hannah (cousin and Madison's idol) gets to play Mary Poppins in one of the shows. Her tap dance is "a song about diamonds" with red costumes. We can not wait until the big show in June!
