Nick and I try to decorate for Christmas on Veteran’s Day and then we make anybody that comes for Christmas help us take down the decorations. Madeline is a fabulous Christmas tree decorator, but only the bottom 2 feet. She also thought all the ornaments that matched should be on the same branch.

Cute
As we are waiting for the arrival of Hot dog we have been spending many evenings relaxing on the couch. (resting up)Madeline informed me that she was being extra cute with her Daddy and to take a picture, please. She sure loves to have her picture taken. I hope she is willing to share camera time with little one!
Big BSF girl
Madeline is doing so much better with not crying during BSF. Her teachers both have commented on how well she knows the songs and sings (loudly). To celebrate we headed to McDonald’s to have lunch and play in the play land. Thank you Grandma Linda for the Halloween gift card. It made for a very fun treat.

Singing in the Tub
Some people may sing in the shower but Madeline loves to sing in the tub. Too bad the camera battery went dead right before the grand finale of Jesus, Loves Me. I think the hiccups really add to the singing.
Kids Rooms
Today I thought I would post a few pictures of Hotdog and Maddie Grace’s bedrooms. We have been busy hanging pictures and curtains. It sure takes a bunch of time to put a house together. Hopefully I will get faster with each move, right?
Just waiting on picking a name so I can hang it above the crib!
Nick is in the middle of making a trundle to go under this bed.
Maddie’s craft area.
Madeline’s big girl bed with new bedding from Target.
Every princess needs a boa, hair bow, jewelry station.
This is the bookcase Nick made. It just needs the trim added and painted. But, with the garage still a bit of a wreck we are missing a few of the tools needed to finish. :) This is inside her closet. We made a little reading spot in there with a little chair. She loves it and loves the fact that she has figured out how to lock her door! There is a peek into our O’Fallon house.

Halloween
Little Ladybug Madeline and Daddy went Trick or Treating tonight. This was a great time to meet some new neighbors and look out for some 2 year old friends. We discovered that we live in a neighborhood filled with boys and big kids. But I do believe we might have had the cutest little trick or treater in the neighborhood!
What a fun Halloween! We still can’t believe that next year we will have two little ones!

Daddy’s #1 Helper
Madeline loves being Daddy’s number one assistant. She just follows him all around the house as he works on his projects. Here she is supervising Nick while he puts weather striping on the door.
