Great Great Great Great Grandmother

This is Madison's Great Great Great Great Grandmother, which is fun to say. That's why we had Madison saying it over and over again. It also happens to be Daddy's Great Great Great Grandmother, and Ye-Ye's Great Great Grandmother. Mommy's research on ancestry is taking us way further back than this, but a trip to Ye-Ye and Nana's house recently uncovered some really cool pictures, including this one of Madison's Great Great Great Great Grandmother (there, I said it again!). Her name was Maria Ellis, and currently we don't know much about her yet. But I'm assuming she was pretty great.

Today we found ourselves a treasure trove: all the Booberry, Frankenberry and Count Chocula we cared to get! Of course, for us that was only one box of each. And we got it just in time, too: Halloween is only a few days away. We've got just a few days to wolf down three boxes of sugary cereal!

It was a fun day out today, although Mommy didn't enjoy it initially: she was at the dentist getting some routine work done. It took a while, so Daddy and Madison went exploring a bit - we went to the Northpoint Mall and rode the carousel (Madison wanted to ride on a Lion's back, as if she was in Narnia or something!). We also hit the Disney store and got some accessories for her Pocahontas costume - a necklace and earrings. She'll be all decked out for the big day!

We picked up some accessories for the house today, small furniture and items that will look nice and make life a little more organized, and spent most of the day out on the road. It may not have been a great, great, great, great day - but it wasn't that bad either!
