Lately...

Madison designed her tank top at Ty and KC's (a children's boutique) and she finally got it back from the seamstress. She loves it and did a great job picking out the yoyos, buttons and bling around the neck line.

Madison recently joined Girl Scout Troop #226. They have Daisies and Juniors. Here she was receiving her certificate and membership pin.

  The troop had their investiture ceremony and the Daisies sang a song while each Junior read a poem or speech.

 We celebrated Eric's birthday~

 Star Wars Style!

 And the girls got their Halloween costumes. Madison wanted to be Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz...

 and Kate choose Minnie Mouse!

Madison was nominated be her teacher for Student of the Month. Today she was called from class and got to be on the TV station watched by the entire school. She received a medal, pencil and bracelet! Very cool! She also recently began reading AR books which she earns points for comprehension. We had our parent/teacher conference today and her teacher said wonderful things about her character and commented on what a great student she is in the class. She is doing very well and we are very proud of her. 

Just for grins---Katelyn trying to blow up a balloon for Eric's birthday!
