our little... princess?
a sunny day
Maddie, Noel and I went to the playground up the street the other day. I just thought I'd post some of the pictures I took for you all to see. The weather has been lovely this past week. Today, though, it has started to rain and we've been having thunder storms. But, it should clear up before too long and get nice again. :)
Here's Maddie burying a pine cone.
scraped knees
playing together
I don't know who loves to play with this toy more --Maddie or Noel?
Noel loves it when Maddie is playing with him. She's really good at keeping him entertained. Actually, she's quite good at keeping us all entertained. :)

at least she put her boots on first
Anyway, I took this pic but in order to keep her from thinking she's funny (so that she doesn't do it again) I told her that it's for her dad to see when he gets home from work. Thus, the "I'm in trouble now" look on her face.
cats
Our house is backed up to acres of woods where all the stray cats (plus the cats who have homes but like to hang out with the wild crowd) in the neighborhood like to roam. Damian has realized that he actually likes cats when (1) they don't belong to you, (2) they live strictly outside, and (3) they allegedly keep snakes away (so far that seems to be true). Our neighbor had been feeding these cats up until she moved away. Now Damian feeds the cats. Yes, Damian. The same Damian who almost took our cat, Danny, to the pound (but let's not go bringing up the past...) :) Anyway, I told him that he can feed them as long as he doesn't name them. I figure once you feed them and name them you're pretty much claiming them as your pets, right?
Here's a picture of six of Dame's ten cats. Clockwise around the bowl from the bottom left is Ginger, Boots, Blacky, Stripey, Spotty, and the one in the back is Bibs. Not pictured are: Minger, Socks, Grayie, and Spottie.
the silver potty
Potty training has been going much better the past couple days. When Maddie has nothing on from the waist down she'll make it to the toilet every time. So today I thought I'd give panties a try. Well, do you guys remember the silver tray Dame and I received as a wedding present? It sits in the bay window and today Maddie climbed up there, sat on it, and went pee. She did it as soon as I put on her panties without missing a beat. I was shocked to see her do it and she was very happy to point out to me the mess she made on the tray. So, yeah, that was interesting --I just thought I'd share. Kids are so strange, especially my Madeline. :)
