Dolls and booby traps


Carl came into the room yesterday laughing and told me I had to go speak to Madison and see what she had done. I panicked in memory of coloring on the walls, painting the floor, even eating the contents of her diaper and I was surprised to find her standing over a star shaped box quite protectively. She was really excited about this box and what was inside. Madison proceeded to enthusiastically tell me about the booby trap (a star shaped box) and the captive (her sisters new barbie she got from Santa). I guess this comes from having a brother who loves to play all the boy games and a sister who loves dolls. Madison is quite in the middle. She loves to battle Carl (he is generally not aware of her game and finds it most annoying but she thinks it is great) and play tea with Ha-Na. At this exact moment there is intense high pitch screaming (Madison) and maniacal laughter (Ha-Na) as Ha-Na is trying to release the prisoner from the trap (The prisoner today is light up poo bear). As the dispute ended in a slap from Madison to Ha-Na she was then sent to time out declaring "It's not fair" our three year olds' favorite new statement. Madison sure is starting out her third year with gusto.

For new years eve we played (Wii of course) with the kids all day and after their healthy lunch told them we were having a junk food night. They declared that New Years Eve is the best day ever. They got to play games and have chips with dip and soda. We did not give them naps so we could put them down early and at 6:30 proceeded to toast in the new year with them and put them to bed. Carl and I then made fondue and played games the rest of the evening (yes Julie, I know we are old and boring) and had the best time.

New Years day was another day of games and we made Carls favorate dinner, RIBS (he sure does miss Sticky Fingers in SC).

We really had a great holiday season and we are looking forward to the new year.
