Well, I took Maddy to the makeup ballet class today and she did pretty well. I wasn't sure how well she'd do considering it would be a different teacher and all. But she participated the majority of the time and seemed to like it. They let them wear purple tutus today and man, were they cute!
I worked outside today shoveling gravel into the wheel barrow and carting it into my neighbor's garden (which has literally nothing in it but stones (not even weeds) so I guess the more the merrier. When I was finally able to roll the garbage can over I dumped that out. I spent some time cleaning up the backyard.
Matt got home early tonight and rewired the deck/patio lights. He finished putting up the last one. He still needs to tack up the wires, but they are up and they look GREAT!!! It's EXACTLY what I wanted. It's ambient lighting but also bright enough to be security lighting. LOVE IT. I've asked him to turn the timer so they are on all night and not just morning and evening. He figures it will take 1 kilowatt per evening so that's an extra .03 every day. Well worth it for the security aspect of it. So he'll do that tomorrow night, too.
Maddy is copying so many words now. I love it and it's so cute. She's been so much fun lately and very snuggly, huggy and kissy, too. Of course, I just eat it up. I love it! She's been enjoying her new kitchen and playing with her tea set. She loves it when I let her bring it to the baby pool and she will just pour teapot after teapot into her cups.
Speaking of, I've been loving my new teapot, too! It's just gorgeous and so much fun to use. It's simple glass, nothing decorative, really. But I find it to be a nice addition to my set.
Well, I think I'm going to bed early tonight. After working outside in 95 degree heat shoveling gravel and then showering I found myself wanting to fall asleep, but I knew Maddy would be up soon so I didn't get a nap. But I do think that's a good clue I should get to bed early.
Oh, one more thing.. A quick correction. I have a Southeastern Five-lined Skink family living within the siding, not a gecko family.
Tea of the day: 2 cups green tea, 1 cup rooibos cocomint herbal tea
WO of the day: shoveling gravel in 95 degree humid weather.
