The Adventures of Madeleine

The back view of the house prior to the old door being removed.

Maddie felt the need to sweep the floor after the old door was removed.

We've been doing a lot of home projects lately, not really out of a desire to, but more because our house has seen fit to fall apart in recent months! Maddie has been a great little helper. A recent in-progress project is replacing our sliding glass door and siding on the back of our house.

It's very important to manage the project while holding a hammer.

Helping papa take a piece of wood to the dumpster.

Really, I get to put it in the dumpster? Cool!

Mommy and Maddie are enjoying some girl time today. After I put away clothes, Maddie and "baby Maggie" took over the laundry basket and had quite a good time playing their games. Oh, and Maddie is wearing "Maggie's" hat.

For about a week, Madeleine was obsessed with the laundry basket. Sitting it in, moving it, turning it over.....you name it, and Madeleine did it. On this day, Madeleine put 3 pillows in the basket and then went "night-night" with all of her blankets and little stuffed friends.

Apparently, when you are potty training a lot of books are needed.

Sorting and making piles is very serious business.
