Thank you

So Maddie, Kalab and I took a trip to walmart a few days ago ( yes walmart is my second home right now... I need a intervention.) Now trips to Walmart aren't all that bad taking both kids it just gets to be too much with Maddie asking every 5 mins "Mom can I have that.... Mom....hey mom.... look mom.... OK lets go, I'm done." After what seemed like a 3 hr trip to make sure we got everything for Cody's package we got in line. Now Maddie has decided she wants to place everything on the moving belt for me even if it is too heavy for her. I was already over my limit of patience at Walmart, which seems to get shorter and shorter due to little sleep. Maddie had asked for a bag of Cheetos so being the wonderful mom I am and picking my battles I got her a bag of Cheetos. She placed them on the moving belt the cashier scanned them and handed them to Maddie. ( Maddie had made sure to let the lady know over and over again that those were her Cheetos.) Maddie told her thank you. The cashier looked at me and told me she was the first little kid that had said thank you all day, granted it was about 6pm when we were checking out. She said that Maddie has renewed her faith in polite little kids. After all was said and done I was a little proud that we have raised a polite little girl..... It looks like daddy has taught her something good other then " SILENCE! I kill you." (Jeff Dunham)

We make beautiful kids

My awesome neighbor took some pictures of the kiddos. She is in school for Photography so Maddie and Kalab got to be her little models. Anything in the name of education :)
