Memorial Day Weekend 2011

Memorial Day weekend was very memorable.  There was a downpour on Friday, therefore the weekend was just hot and sticky!  With temperatures over 95 each day it was best to find really "cool" things to do.  Saturday morning Jeff worked so Madison followed me around asking every few minutes, "Is it time to see Emma yet?"  Saturday afternoon we were going to see Emma for her 3rd birthday party!  Madison just couldn't wait.

We finished having a picnic, opening presents and having cake and made our way back to Emma's house so that her dog, Dakota, could be part of the fun.  She was so excited to see everyone and did really well with the girls. Emma's playroom was full of all kinds of new toys and she couldn't wait to show them ALL to Madison.  Before long, everyone, including the parents, was getting tired.  It was time to give kisses and get on our way.

Sunday was a little less fun and more serious.  Madison had us up most of the night in pain and not being able to get comfortable.  She had not felt 100% the night before and it was worse Sat night.  She kept complaining of it hurting when she pee'd.  Luckily our pediatrician has Sunday hours and we were able to get her in to find she had a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection).  No fun if you've ever had one.  Our little girl was a champ though.  The first time she's ever pee'd in a cup!!!  You can get a three year old do to just about anything if you tell her there's a milkshake for her if she does a good job!!!  Of course, the rest of the day she wanted to pee in a cup!!!  The rest of the day was spent relaxing and trying to keep cool.  That afternoon Lisa invited us over for a cook out.  This gave the girls time to run, run, run.  Allie and Madison are doing so good together.  It was nice to be able to have some adult time.  They just played and played until it was time to peel them away from each other.

Retail is a horrible beast!  Monday morning, Jeff had to be back at work.  This gave me plenty of time to play with Ms. Lace.  She had gotten plenty of sleep the night before so we were go, go, go all morning.  That afternoon we were invited to the pool with Lisa, Allie and Jeff.  It was hard to believe but those girls played for three hours in the pool!  Needless to say, when we got home, Madison didn't want to do anything but take   a nap.  She was out before even eating dinner!

It was back to work and school on Tuesday.  Madison is feeling so much better and lets everyone know!  Hope everyone else had a wonderful weekend as well.
