Happy Birthday Madeline

The highlight of this past week was Madeline's Birthday.  She turned 6 on Thursday.   She picked donuts for her birthday breakfast, hot dogs (her very favorite food) for dinner with a chocolate birthday cake for dessert.  She wanted blue frosting with a rainbow and clouds.  After dinner she opened her presents.  I think her favorite present was from Anna Elise - she gave her a polished rock and a coupon to play with her beloved doll.  She had a good day!

Other highlights of the week include a trip to the dentist for appointments for all five kids (and no cavities!) and some exceptionally warm weather and playing outside!  Unfortunately it also includes some sick kids, but we are hoping it doesn't spread...

Singing Happy Birthday

Madeline is our highlight this week.  Our very observant and considerate middle child is loving kindergarten.  She loves going to school and being with her friends.  She makes friends easier then anyone else in our family but she is most often found sitting on her top bunk bed, surrounded by her hidden treasures, playing by herself.  She is also very sneaky and is probably the best at getting out of chores.  She loves to laugh and to make people laugh.  She has longer hair then anyone else in the house and probably the smallest feet for her age!  She is so excited to be 6!
