My little Maddie Moo

So Saturday we had a little get together with my family. We went to the outdoor swimming pool by my Mom's house. It was the last day it was going to be open this year, so we decided why not make a day of it. It was fun, but chilly because the wind was blowing. All of the kids had fun, but they hated the times when they had to get out of the pool because they were so cold. So we spent about a good 4 hrs. at the pool, and then we went to my Mom's house for a yummy dinner! We were all famished from swimming, so we were starving and the dinner was yummy!

Also I hurt my back somehow. It was weird as I was getting ready yesterday that's when I noticed that it hurt when I walked. It felt OK, but as the day went on it killed. By the time I got to my mom's house I just wanted to lie down. I took some Vitamin M and that took care of some of the pain. After dinner I just laid on the couch. We karaoke again as well, what else is new??? So here comes the part with my little Maddie moo. I had been keeping tabs on where all the kids were throughout the evening. The last time I saw her she was coming inside after Matt. Well this was about the time my sister and her family were leaving. It was about 10 p.m. We finished our game up about15 -20 min. later I think. Anyways that what it felt like.

I heard the kids playing and went to check on them. They were outside in the backyard on my Mom's patio swing. Well all the kids except for Madisynn. I looked around, and couldn't find her. I started to panic. I didn't see her go outside. I just started to think of all the bad things that could have happened to her. She is so little. It was dark and she was all by herself. I think what happened was that she followed my sister's family outside and they didn't see her. She wandered and got lost. I had no idea where to even start. We were going to split up and try to find her.

Matt started walking down the street and a guy came outside and asked if we were looking for a little girl. Matt was like YES. The guy told him that he and his wife heard some crying outside so they went to see what it was. They found Madisynn on there front porch crying. It just breaks my heart. So sad, and so scary for a little child. I am such a protective Mother. The 5 or 10 min. I kept thinking to myself this can't happen to me, what will I do if we can't find her? I love my kids so much, I hope that never happens again. The poor little thing was so exhausted that she instantly fell asleep on my shoulder when we went inside. I didn't want to let go of her! loosing my children is one of my worst fears. I'm glad that everything is OK! What a relief!!! =)

Tomarrow is Labor Day and we are going to spend it with My Dad's side of the family. It will be nice to see everyone again, it's been a good 8 or 9 months since I've seen everyone. We are going to Logan to a park there having yummy food again, and going to the Zoo. I just hope it's OK weather. It's supposed to be really cold like in the 60's. So what are you all doing? I hope you all have Lot's of fun!!!
