Mopping for Mommy

Our first flat
Crazy hair
We've had many firsts this last week. We had our first flat tire, our first trip snowshoeing with Madison, our first tantrum in the mall, and our first night going to bed without Mommy catering to Madison.
We knew our tire treads were getting low, so it was not a surprise when we got a flat from a rock on the way home from Coeur d'Alene on Monday. Luckily, we were right by a rest area. We went snowshoing yesterday, which was a disaster. My shoes hurt so bad that I wanted to puke, JR insisted we eat lunch after the hike so Madison and I were starving, and Madison completly lost it after lunch because it was waaaay past her naptime (she still didn't fall asleep until 10 min outside of Boise). We went to the mall today to find pants for JR for Mic's wedding and Madison got really mad because we made her hold one of our hands. When she refused we put her in her stroller where she proceded to scream until we left the mall. It's funny how many people tried to make us feel better. One couple said they could remember those days and another lady said she felt like doing the same thing. JR and I just laughed. Lastly, Madison pretty much went to bed without dinner tonight because she only wants to eat tomatoes and fruit so JR and I decided that she needs to eat her dinner before she gets her "dessert" Tonight it was cooked carrots, red potatoes, and chicken. Mommy wanted to give in and give her peaches, but Daddy insisted that we don't give in to her. I hope we aren't being bad parents (not many people have to say no to the 100th serving of fruit for the day or the 20th cherry tomato.
The good news.... I am all caught up on my DVR'd shows and Madison is hilarious!!!
