Maddie's Bummed Out Week

We've had a long and tiring week. Last week we took Madison to Wild Water Adventures Park in Clovis. We told her 2 days in advance and she was extremely excited! Everytime she was asked where she was going, she would yell out in excitement: "The Water park". She was so excited. It was no Hurricane Harbor but we all had a good time and a nice picnic especially Maddie. Our only issue we had were the 95% percent of children of children who were unattended. Due to this issue, a big kid fell into Maddie which resulted in a black eye. As bad as it sounds, I wanted to ring the kid's neck but then realized like a real adult that it's not his fault- it's his parents fault for not teaching him how to behave. So Maddie and a few other kids got a little banged up by this one kid. Jon and I watch Madison like a hawk so I guess I will NEVER understand how parents don't take care of their wild and unmannered kids. I'm not saying anymore because the blog will never end. What can you say, it is what it is and we can't change how others care for their children. I'm glad Madison has manners and exercises them. Also, Madison's been sick all week with a cold and her asthma. We've had sleepless nights all week. Hopefully, we'll be able to sleep good tonight. I feel so bad for her when she's sick because I can't take away her constant cough, fever, wheezing,...etc. But I'm pretty good at comforting her. I've been seeing a lot of smiles and hearing laughter today so that's a good sign.



Madison baked caramel brownies today with Grandma and here she is eating the beaters.

Here's my poor little black eyed pea. I feel so bad for her but it doesn't seem to bother her. I hope it goes away soon.

Madison is going down one of her favorite water slides. She spent a lot of time in that particular area. It was kind of hard to take a lot of pictures or use the camcorder because of all the kids splashing and there were misters everywhere.

Madison loves to be outside. She enjoys riding her bike, scooter, playing soccer and basketball. This weekend, I bought art supplies for her. I'm trying to think of fun things for us to do inside being that winter is approaching and she will not be able to go outside. She was excited about her new paints, brushes,..etc. We're going to paint a picture when she feels better. I'm also going to go to Michaels to see what crafts I can get my hands on. I hope you all have a nice and blessed week.
