Madison & Braeden's Texas Adventures: Just an average day and then some exciting news...

Now that we've been back from vacation for a couple of weeks and we're finally all settled back in (laundry is done, grocery shopping done so we can eat again, yard work that got put off for 3 weeks is done... see where this is going) life is back to normal. Our day begins way too early for me (I'm trying for 7 am but M & B like to start the day much earlier than that!) and usually starts out with instant ear piercing screams from Brady when he decides, upon opening his eyes, that he's thirsty.
In case you didn't know, Brady is my trouble. He has zero patience and he reminds you of that about 3 dozen times a day. Madison usually responds to this early morning screaming by crying and telling him to "please stop now". Is this how you want to wake up every morning??? After the drinks are served we usually go outside for breakfast. Texas mornings are very warm, but not yet HOT, so it's a good time to actually enjoy being outside. About 9am when the temperature is reaching the HOT point, we go in and get dressed- usually swim suits because thats where we'll be spending the rest of the hot day... in the pool. Mermaid Madison would spend every waking moment swimming if we would let her, but Brady isn't as excited about the water. He likes to play with the 12,000 or so pool toys we have and if we're lucky enough to spend the day with friends over he'll venture into the water then.
Lunch is usually eaten outside (in the shade of the covered patio, of course)then it's back in the pool. You'd think that by dinner time they would be exhausted, but that's not the case... while I make dinner it's Madison's show time- usually music (Miley Cyrus, of course) but sometimes it's tv (Hannah Montana, High School Musical, Camp Rock, pretty much anything with music) and she sings and dances for me while I get dinner ready. That's a normal day for us, not very exciting, but filled with fun (and some fighting between M & B).
Now for the exciting news... Madison has her very first loose tooth! Her tooth has been bothering her for a couple weeks now and I thought she might be getting ready to lose it, but it was never wiggly. This morning she came running down the stairs as excited as could be to show me her tooth was finally wiggly... VERY WIGGLY. So, it looks like Madison will be going to her first day of kindergarten next month with one less tooth!
