Cats and Dogs

Mayci is playing quietly so I'm going to blog for a few...

First of all, the explanation of the title. About a week or so ago we had a rainy day and I had made the comment to Mayci- as we were looking out the dining room window watching the rain, that it was raining cats and dogs outside. Ever since then, she is telling everyone there is a dog outside. She always goes back to the window- which is right at her height, and tells the story of a dog back there and that she is scared! lol. It crackes me up everytime b/c although I try to explain to her there is no dog, how do I explain to a 2 year old it's just a figure of speech ?!?! Now today- even though it wasn't raining- she went to the back window and yelled 'Dogs outside!' OMGoodness child- give it up already. I don't know what it is with her and her fear of the four-legged friends (as my mother would put it), but she's always reminding us that there are either dogs or hotdogs out in the back. Gotta love her!



We have a busy yet fun weekend planned. Avery and Brecken are staying with us Saturday and Sunday and the girls are SO excited. Maddie gets to spend the night w/ a friend Friday night too so she's pretty excited about that. (it was a make-up sleepover from last weekend since she had HFM, so nice of her mom to 'make it up' to Maddie (both girls acutally)- thanks! ;) We are dressing the kids up in their costumes and going to the JBZoo Halloween thing on Saturday- so that will be fun I hope. I don't really know what to expect other than a Fun House I heard and candy I guess. Whatever it is, it will break up the day and the kids will most like enjoy it. They're not to hard to please! Especially if they're together and get to dress up- how fun for them! Ryan is supposed to be playing football in the afternoon with some friends- so hopefully that works out for him too. He may need a break after JBZoo ;)

Sunday, just church as usual, hopefully naps in the afternoon, then dinner at my Dad's is planned- probably with all 4 kiddos which is, again, something fun for M & M. Avery and Breck don't ususally get to see my side of the family!

Anyway- hope you are enjoying your day! Mayci is now requesting Barney so I should get going. (She is still on the purple dinosaur kick!) ;)

Ciao!
