Memorial Day weekend we took Madison to the Farmer's Market, Ren Fair & to a Blues & BBQ fest all on 1 day. I was expecting a terror by night time since she wasn't going to truly nap, but believe it or not she did wonderful. We had a moment or two at the Blues & BBQ fest, but we were able to diffuse her quickly & she started dancing to the music instead.
This past Saturday, Dan had to work so we didn't do anything. Sunday though we went to the Art Fest in Downtown Iowa City. There was some really neat stuff & if we weren't going to have the expenses of moving & buying a new house, I would have bought some art there. We did sneak in a few selections from Culinary Row for lunch & then headed home. Madison was in all her glory after her nap because Daddy took her into the garage & let her help him put together the power washer. Then she got to use sidewalk chalk on the patio while Daddy grilled us some dinner. All & all a good weekend.
I have been trying to plan Madison's 2nd birthday party along with some fun things to do while we are visiting my family & friends back in IL. We will be visiting the Milwaukee Zoo with Madison's favorite, Mathew & Aunt B. Hoping to get in a visit with some others too. Then we are having her party at my mom's house on her 2nd birthday! Its just family since we cannot afford a huge party because of building the house & the moving expenses that are coming.
Other than that I'm trying to get a few things done for the house. Picking colors, finding movers, getting pricing on a water softener & pricing for a few other things that we would like for the house to decide if we can do them now or wait until later. Its pretty exciting to think that in a little over 2 months we will be in our new house!
