So yesterday morning after some crazy traffic, we were able to get to Portrait Innovations to get Maddy's pictures done. She had a great time getting her pictures done. In fact she loved it so much she was being cheesy! It actually made it easier to pick out the two pictures I did. I picked the one portrait deal picture first and then had a hard time choosing between two. So I let Maddy pick--of course she picked the one with the boa! The only mishap we had was when I was helping her get dressed. She lost her balance and fell backward hitting her the back of her head on the edge of the toilet. OUCH. I kept a close eye on her over the next few hours for a concussion. While we were waiting for pictures we went over to Maggie Moos and had mint chocolate ice cream with M&Ms in it.
Then we popped over to BJs for some stuff we needed and I bought Maddy a few birthday presents including a red recliner for the living room. She loved it! I put it away in the spare bedroom when we got home and she'll need to wait until her birthday.
This morning we had Maddy's Chuck-e-cheese birthday party and it went really well. The kids really seemed to enjoy themselves. I was very impressed with this chuck-e-cheese because they sent out chuck-e to see us even though we didn't order the birthday package and it was in the morning. They also gave me candles and matches for the cupcakes. I didn't know their policy on open flame so I didn't bring my own and when they offered I took them up on it. They were so accommodating and very nice! Maddy had a nice time opening her presents although she kind of seemed in a funk the rest of the day--I think she was just worn out.
Tomorrow the grandparents come and I have my OB appointment. Then the fun of the weekend begins!
