There are many first's that are still taking place. They don't happen as often now, but they still happen. Saturday, Allie invited Madison to see Cars 2 with her at a private showing (Allie knows people in high places!). Figuring it was free and we had nothing to lose, we'd give it a try. Madison was aware of the original Cars movie since she had watched bits and pieces at Allie's. Allie had been to one movie prior to this one but this would have been Madison's first. Both girls did really well until about 45 minutes in (mind you, that included the almost 15 minutes of previews AND a Toy Story Short!). So not too bad! Allie was potty training (which is a good thing) and kept needing to use the potty. And you know how girls are...one can't go without the other going as well. After two trips to the bathroom in a 20 minute time span, it was time to call the movie OVER!

you have two silly girls! |
Saturday afternoon Madison spend time on her tricycle (another first!). I have to say that this is the longest that she has spent on the tricycle since we got it a year and a half ago. It's amazing to me how quickly she gets on it and goes. Just the other day (a few days after this picture) she rode it three houses up the street (remind you, there are 1/2 acres between each house) and then back. She loved it! Pulling into the driveway she was giggling as she started to gain speed going down our driveway! What a silly little girl!

The work week has gone by fairly quickly this week and we are looking forward to this weekend. Madison has a playdate with Emma on Saturday while mom and dad take advantage of having some "adult time."

HOT, HOT, HOT started the week but then NOT NOT NOT HOT ended the week. Here are the beautiful puffy clouds that filled the sky on my way home on Friday.
