Building a Bus

Future...America's Top Model!

Play, play, play...That's all Madison did on Saturday.  Home Depot sponsors a Kid's Workshop every other month at the Marbles Kids Museum in Raleigh.  Jeff volunteered this month to help the children put together a pencil holder in the shape of a school bus.  With so much for Madison to see and do, she wasn't the least bit interested in putting together a pencil holder.  She wanted to slide, race cars and paint pictures...just to start!

Riding a pony...
Sliding...
Making lemonade...
Surfing...
Painting...
People watching...
There wasn't a dull moment for either of us.  Jeff stayed pretty busy with putting together school buses and I stayed VERY busy keeping up with Madison!  The museum is always changing so we'll have to go back again.  Saturday night we thought she was going to have an early night (with no nap that day (for her anyway)) but she planned differently and wanted to play with Allie.  We visited with Lisa and her friends visiting from Maine and the rest of the family before she finally just hit "the wall."  

Sunday wasn't nearly as action packed but she did manage to take the time to put together her school bus. The videos will be downloaded onto PicasaWeb tomorrow.  Here is a still shot to "whet" your appetite!


Oh...No, Madison did not fall down at the museum.  No, she did not hit herself with the huge hammer that sits before her.  And No, Allie didn't sucker punch her.  We just have a picker on our hands.  She gets one little bump and she picks, picks, picks!  The only way to get her to stop picking is to put a band-aid on it.  She has one on her arm as well.  Even after the wounds have healed she wants the band-aids.  I think she thinks they are part of her outfits!  Look for the videos online this week.  They take a little longer to download and I'm ready to go to bed!  Love to all, Tiff
