The day of Madigan's birthday was almost 70 degrees. She woke up to a few things on the table that she got in the mail and a couple things from us, some pictures, etc. We went out for lunch and took pictures in the Fall leaves. When Dad got home, she got to open her "big" present from us- a cash register. It's pretty awesome. We can't believe she is 4-like we've been parents for four years. It's truly amazing and also so sad all wrapped into one. Madigan's an amazing kid, and an amazing big sister.
For a little surprise birthday gift, Elizabeth and I took the girls to get mini-manis. They are only $5 on Fridays, the day we usually get together. Madigan was very surprised and very happy! (She chose pink.)
It's been a wonderful Fall here- so warm and so colored. We sometimes (a lot of the time) skip this season and go right into cold and snow. Last year, it snowed on Madigan's birthday (October 7th) and this year it was 70's....
Madigan and I have been trying to do some little art projects together. We both really love it, and it's nice to spend a few minutes with her during the day. While we created, Leo could be found standing at the stair gate.
