Settling In

Anyone who has moved knows what it's like to get settled in. Things are starting to come together. The kids absolutely love this new house and I can't get them out of the backyard. It's very nice. Grass everywhere. There are trees that will provide lots of shade in the summer time. Yesterday, all three of them spent about 3-4 hours playing outside. Madison and Porter ate their lunch and a snack in their "picnic" area. They put down a blanket and sat on it to eat. Lane crawled all over. Since it is grass, it's very soft and he likes it.

I bought a pink comforter for Madison's bed. Now she has one. She was using sheets and her favorite blankie. (Yes, she still won't let go of the one my Mom bought before she was born.)

Madison is getting into lip smackers. She carries her pink cotton candy around with her all day. She is very girlie. She insists on picking out her own clothes and getting her ponytails in before we go down for breakfast. She is always moving her head, looking at herself in the mirror when I try to do her hair. I always say, "Madison, hold still! You're driving me nuts!" Today, downstairs she started shaking her head and said, "Look Mom, I'm driving you nuts!" Apparently, she associates the head moving with the saying.
