Panther Pride

Maggie and I went to a tailgating party last night and then stayed for the first half of the Paola football game. It was Bleacher Creature (young girls practicing cheerleading) night and Maggie decided she needed her face painted to look like a Paola Panther just like the older girls!

Maggie Funnies

I just had to share some recent things that Maggie has done that were too funny!

Recently, she has gone through her stuffed animals and found her Santa again. So, she thinks he is coming soon. She has been asking (multiple times a day mind you) "Santa coming?" "Santa coming...DS?" Somehow she has it in her mind that when Santa does come he's bringing her a Nintendo DS. She loves playing with Rob's DS, knows how to turn it on, get to the drawing screen, draw on it and everything. She can even make a mean stick figure on it! I'm guessing she's decided she just needs to have one of her own. I was kind of hoping we'd last a couple more years before we'd get into asking for the big, expensive presents though!!

The second funny thing that's happened this week is that Maggie got in my purse, got the cell phone out, and proceeded to call our house phone. Unfortunately for me, I didn't realize she had the cell phone. So, I looked at the caller ID confused as to how our cell phone number was calling, answered the phone anyway, and then looked at my daughter sitting on the floor with the cell phone held up to her ear ready to have a conversation with me!

Happy Birthday

Maggie and our family wishes Uncle Brett a very happy birthday today!!!

The Potty Training Saga Continues

Well, Maggie has good days and bad days with the whole potty training thing. Sometimes she goes all day being dry and other days she wants nothing to do with the potty. Tonight, she even sat on the potty for about 15 minutes, decided to get up and run around the house naked, go into the kitchen and pee in the middle of the floor. Luckily, she did it there and not on the carpet I guess!! She did go poopy on the potty for the first time when we were up in Omaha this past weekend, but hasn't done it since. We'll keep you posted on the saga! :)

Omaha

Last weekend, Maggie and I drove up to Omaha with my mom and dad to visit my aunt. We had a blast! On Sunday, we even got to go to the Omaha Zoo with my cousin. Here are some of the pictures from our zoo adventure.

One Little Monkey Jumping on the Bed

Even though Maggie decided to wake up Grandpa at 2 this morning, and keep him awake until 5, she was still a ball of energy today!!!

Happy Anniversary!

Four years ago today, Rob and I got married. It's hard to believe it's already been 4 years and even harder to believe we've been together for 10!!

Grandma and Grandpa Jacobs watched Maggie for us tonight so we could go out to dinner. Then, we decided to let her just spend the night, too, since we'd be bringing her home to sleep and turning right around to bring her back up there again tomorrow. It was pretty hard to leave her (this is only the 2nd time I've been away from her overnight), but we knew it'd be easier on her this way.

So, tomorrow when I get off work, I will head up there. Maggie and I will spend the night at Grandma and Grandpa's again tomorrow because we are leaving bright and early Saturday morning to drive to my aunt's in Omaha.
