Weekend Recap

It's officially one week since Maddy and I have been in our new house. We had a lot of fun this weekend. Maddy has looked forward to no school all week I think. Saturday morning I asked her if she knew what day it was and she said, "What?" I told her it was Saturday and her face lit up and said, "No school?" On top of no school/work we also had planned on going to my mom's for the day. Maddy actually slept in until 9:40 a.m. and I was forever thankful because I stayed up too late trying to get stuff done around the house. We woke up, got dressed, cooked biscuits, and got ready to go to my mom's. My mom is turning Maddy's old bedroom into a playroom for all the grandkids. She showed Maddy where all her toys were and Maddy's reaction was, "What?!" It was hilarious and I wish I had been videoing. I still need a few things around the house so my mom took us to the store to get started on this long list I have going. My priorities might be a tad off because I need a new vacuum cleaner, but instead of getting the vacuum I got a router so I could have my personal computer back. Maddy was getting real tired and hungry so we were only able to get my router the first go round. We stopped by Baskin Robbins to get blasts and ice cream for Maddy. Speaking of Maddy, we are officially passy free. Before we moved out we have lost passy several times at my mom's house. I searched every where for it and had to tell her it was lost. To my surprise she went ahead and went to bed when she heard I didn't know where it was. I should have just never given it back to her when I finally did find it, but I didn't. Thursday morning when she woke up she told me she couldn't find her passy. I looked under her bed, behind her bed, in her covers and it was no where to be found. She went to bed that night with no passy...she did ask for it but I told her I couldn't find it. I ended up finding it Friday morning hidden under her bed, but decided to just let passy be lost. She has been taking her naps at school without now and she hasn't even asked for it. I haven't thrown it away just yet, but I think I will be soon. Okay back to our weekend. After we got ice cream we went back to my mom's to get my step dad. We ate at the Chop House. Maddy got pizza and I got grilled chicken garden alfredo. After dinner we did the rest of our shopping. We headed to Wal-Mart. My step dad took Maddy to the toy section while my mom and I got my groceries. I did get me a new crock pot, which is my third one now because my other two got thrown away. I found a cute red one by Hamilton Beach that was a real good price, but they weren't in stock. I just went with the silver and black one but will probably be getting a different one down the road. I love crock pots! Once we were done shopping we went back to my mom's and Maddy got to play outside. It was after 8, but that was a perfect time to play because it wasn't hot at all and there was a nice breeze blowing. Maddy had a blast with her car and playing with my mom and step dad. We didn't get home till 9:30 p.m. or maybe it was closer to 10 I can't really remember. We brought my dog Manny home and bless his heart he was scared to death. He did NOT want to walk up the steps to get in the house. I think he thought I was leaving him. Once he found my room he seemed happier. He could smell his scent on my bed so he wanted to stay in there. He did really well staying out with Maddy. He didn't try to jump on her and he wasn't rambunctious. Maddy also did a very good job of not pestering him. She loves to hug on him and it is just so sweet. I should have gotten pictures of them together, but I didn't. Sunday morning me, Maddy, my mom, and my step dad decided to try our old church. I have missed church so much and going back to our old church was just what I needed. I tried to prepare Maddy for when we left her in the nursery, but there isn't much that can help. They were all nice in helping me get her settled in. As they were telling us what was going to happen Maddy's nose started to turn red and she had tears forming in her eyes. Once it was time to hand her off she did let them take her, but she just buried her head and cried. It was so hard leaving her. I really hope to get into a routine of going to church because I desperately need it. After church was over she said she liked it.  After church we went back to my mom's house for some pizza and homemade ice cream. We had a really fun weekend and we can't wait for this coming weekend. We are going to celebrate my mom's 50th birthday. It will be a party filled weekend :) I'm going to post the pictures I have from this week.

This was Monday morning...her first morning waking up in her new house. She was sleeping so good.

Nana brought her ice cream throughout the week...as you can see she was thrilled :)

This is ranch chicken. It was still cooking when I took this picture. I got this recipe from one of my cook books and it is pretty good. Maddy ate some of it, but was more worried about her ice cream lol.

I sent this to my mom Sunday after church. I'm so happy Manny can be left out while Maddy is awake. I was so afraid he would be too wild or try to jump on her or that she would just annoy him but they love each other :)
I have a few pictures on my camera to add to this, but will have to do so later. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend as well!
