A Summary of the Past Few Weeks

As you all know, I've been REALLY bad at blogging for the past few weeks! I feel terrible! Hopefully some of you have been checking out my wordpress blog, because I update that more often with little bits of info on what I'm up to! If you haven't, here is the link:

http://typicalcatholicteenager.wordpress.com

Also, to explain why on earth I made a second blog, if I can't even keep up the first, check out one (or both) of these two posts:

#1. http://typicalcatholicteenager.wordpress.com/2014/04/16/updates-updates-updates/

#2. http://typicalcatholicteenager.blogspot.com/2014/04/wordpress-updates.html

Anyways, here's a summary of the past few weeks:

Welcome Baby Isaac!!!

My new baby brother, Isaac was born! He was born on March 29, at 7:06 am, and was 6 pounds and 4 ounces! He's such an adorable and sweet little man! 

He's such a handsome little man!!! 

April Fools Day!

On April Fools Day, me and my friends Claire and Roni (Veronica) made "brownies" for our teacher (at our once a week co-op)! We took brown construction paper and cut it into a bunch of letter "E's." Then, we put them into a pan and wrapped a ribbon around it! So basically, we made pre-cut (haha) "brown E's!!!" 

hahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Holy Week!

I had a very blessed Holy Week! I spent extra time praying and I also went to mass a few times! It was a great ending to Lent! I hope you all had a good and blessed Holy Week as well!

I also had to share this because I thought it was really cool:

Dear Jesus, thank you for suffering so much pain and dying to save us!!!

Easter Sunday!

Hoppy Easter!!! I hope you all had an egg-celent Easter! What an awesome day it is! Jesus is Risen!!! Yay! 

On Easter morning, the Nicholas, Savannah, and I got up and did our Easter tradition, which is looking for your Easter basket (they're always hidden), going through it, hunting easter eggs, and opening/emptying them out! Afterwards, we quickly got dressed and ready for 11:00 am Mass!!! We had a great time!!! We also dyed and decorated eggs the night before!!!

Easter Sunday was also a REALLY good day because I was finally able to listen to music and play games on my phone…….the two things that I gave up for Lent, which made me wonder whether or not I would survive until Easter!!! I know…..I sound like a baby….but 40 days is a lot of time to not be able to listen to music!!!! You have no idea how much music I listened to on Sunday….every chance I had, I put my ear buds in and listened to my awesome tunes!!!

Anyways, I had awesome Easter! I hope you did too!

Here are some pictures!!!

Me, decorating my eggs.

I painted some of them with my favorite color…..GLITTER!!!!

Gifts from Mom and Dad….cuz what says Easter more than a unicycle?!?!

All of us with our Easter baskets!!! 

Little Mr. Isaac…..he looks so adorable in his Easter basket!!!

Nick and Savannah, looking for eggs!

Me, who by the way looks awful because I had just woken up… :), on top of the rock waterfall in our pool….that bunny sure knows how to hide eggs;)

What a blessed Easter we had! Thank you, Lord, for rising from the dead!

"Evian Babies" Videos

Heyyyyyyyyy friends! I just had to share these two funny videos. You know that water brand called "Evian?" Well they have these funny commercials for it, and I couldn't stop watching them! I watched them over and over and over and over and over again! Hope you like them :)

Isn't that funny? I love when the babies are doing the crazy flips and stuff! So funny!

Here's the second one.....this is my fave out of the two......I have no idea why! :) :) :)

Haha love it!!! 

What's really neat is how the video was made! Here is the making of "The Evian Babies: Baby and Me!" 

It's amazing how much work they put into making these videos! The process is crazy and complicated, and the result is only a few minutes! I mean think about it.....this probably took WEEKS to make! Anyways, I thought it was really cute and wanted to share it! Hope you enjoyed it!

Winter Weather?

Ok, so I totally understand the fact that Texas has crazy weather, and that it's constantly changing, but this weekend was definitely something else!!! For those of you living in the DFW area, you know what I mean! Those of you who don't, probably have absolutely NO clue what I'm talking about, so here's the dealio-bop:

Yeterday, it was unusually hot, and we were literally outside in our swimsuits! Nick and Savannah put on a "bike and scooter wash/lemonade stand" for all of the neighbor kids (not that we have very many kids in our neighborhood...) to make money for their "Big-Foot (as in the legendary creature.....not big feet!) Club**" ......whatever that is! They were in their swimsuits and spraying each other with the hose while waiting for customers! Oh, and did I mention that it's the end of FEBRUARY…actually, its the first day of MARCH?!?!?!  Yeah.......weird, right?!?! So anyways, business was slow for them (only two customers in two or three hours) and my dad, feeling bad for them came outside and offered to pay us to wash my mom's car. The "cha-ching!" alarm went off in my head when I heard that there was a money opportunity! I just couldn't resist! (have I mentioned that almost a year after buying my camera, I am STILL having financial issues?!?! Yup. I'm still pretty much broke!) So I got in my swimsuit, put my hair up in a pony-tail, went outside and washed the car. It was a BLAST!!! I was soaking with sweat (cuz it was REALLY hot outside) and soapy water by the time we were done!

Today, less than 24 hours since I was outside in my swimsuit, I'm all bundled up sitting by the fireplace and trying to get warm. Yeah.......oh, and did I mention that it's snowing outside? I didn't? Oh, my bad! Well, anyways it's snowing, I'm cold, I can't believe it's snowing, I'm cold, I'm COLD, and I'm really really COLD because it's SNOWING outside!!! Oh well. I guess I shouldn't be complaining......after all, it's nice to have some cold weather for a change (Texan winters aren't that cold......wait, let me take that back.......to Texans, winter is freezing! But when the peeps up north compare a Texan winter to northern winter, the Texan one is probably like a tropical paradise!).

Anyways.....stay warm! Lets hope winter will finally decide whether or not it's still here!

**side story about the "Big-Foot Club"(had to share this cuz it made me laugh!):

So, just out of curiosity, I asked Savannah what they were raising money for with their bike and scooter wash/lemonade stand. She said that it was for the "Big-Foot Club." So then I asked why they needed money for their club. She looked at me like I was crazy and dumb and said, "To buy weapons!"(they think that they're gonna find Big-Foot and capture him. After that, who knows what they're gonna do with him!) (and also just so you know, they are definitely NOT allowed to buy weapons, but what can you do?!?! You gotta let 'em dream!) Being the annoying "big-sis" that I am, and sorta wanting to give Savannah a hard time (cuz what big sis doesn't?!?!), I said, "What kind of weapons?" "It doesn't matter." "No really.....I want to know!" "I said it doesn't matter!" I could tell she was getting annoyed, and at that point, what big-sis doesn't wanna keep going?!?! So I kept going. "Oh....ok. So how and where are you going to get weapons?" "It doesn't matter! Ok? Me and Nick have a plan and it doesn't concern you!" "Oh....ok." Now she was even more annoyed! So, once again, I kept on going. I know that wasn't the right thing to do, but I was having a GREAT time bugging her......hehe! When she started walking away, I said, "Wait! I have more questions!" "Just stop Madi! Go away! You're really annoying me!" Perfect! All of you older sisters reading this know the feeling.....and it's pure awesomeness! "But Savannah.....how are you even going to find him?" "Madi! I told you! Me and Nick have it all worked out!" "Ok, but just so you know, you need a permit to buy weapons, so I don't think you're plan will work." After I said that, she turned around angrily and said, "MADI!!! STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST GO AWAY AND LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!" Then she stomped off really mad. Ok, fine.......I took it a little to far......ok, fine, WAY too far, but what can I say? Isn't that what big sisters are for? ;)

Christmas is Coming!

I can't wait for Christmas! It's almost here! I'm sooooooooooooo excited! Did I mention that Christmas is coming and that I can't wait?!?!?!? I did? Well, then I bet you can't guess what else I'm excited about....... ☺ I'm excited that Christmas is coming and that it's almost here! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!! EXCITEMENT!!!!!!! YAY!!!!! 

ok.........take a deep breath Madi.......thats it.......nice and slow........shhhhhh calm down.........OMGOSH!!!! CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY! YYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what I look like when I'M SUPER EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Don't I look super adorable?!?!? Of course I do!!! Just kidding.....but I am pretty adorable! How can you say no to that adorable face on that lovely head that's wearing SANTA'S HAT!?!?!?!? Speaking of santa's hat well......I guess its more of a replica....its not really Santa's......but it looks like it! Works for me!!!!!! Anyways, speaking of Santa, guess what........CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!!!! Only two days, 10 and 1/2 hours, 12 seconds, and 23 milli-seconds!!!!! YAY!!!!!

Ok......I'm sorry. I kind of got carried away......BUT I'M SOOOOOOOO EXCITED BECAUSE CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!!!!!!

ok.....here is a special riddle made up by yours truly that I bet you can't figure out:

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Because he was so excited that Christmas was coming (and that is was almost there!)

HA! Bet you didn't see that one coming! HA HA HA!!! I am smarter than you! Just kidding! But I have to admit that I am pretty smart......☺

Let's sing a Christmas carol!

"A Holly Jolly Christmas!"
(sing to the tune of "A Holly Jolly Christmas")

Have a holly jolly Christmas (....because it's almost here...)
It's the best time of the year (......yes it is! Told you so!)
I don't know if there'll be snow (...because I live in Texas...but there better be or else you'll feel my wrath!)
But have a cup of cheer (...or hot chocolate...cuz I don't know how to fill a cup with cheer...)

Have a holly jolly Christmas (......OMGOSH! IT'S ALMOST HERE!)
And when you walk down the street (...try not to slip on the ice...unless you live in Texas, cuz there won't be any! But there still better be! or you'll feel my wrath!)
Say, "Hello!" to friends you know (...or else they'll think your really rude...and they'll wonder why you ignored them...)
And everyone you meet! (...Not everyone though...because that would be kinda creepy...)

YAY!!!!!!! You are all amazing singers! But no one can beat my voice......"OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH" *crack* *crack* *glass shattering*
See?!?! I'm a natural!

Anywho, it was great getting excited about Christmas with you! We'll have to do it again next year, and the year after, and the year after, and the year after that one, and after that one, and.......well, you get the point☺

(please note: this post was written by Madison L. who wanted to let all of her readers know that she is very excited that Christmas is coming and that it is almost here. The "why did the chicken cross the road" joke/riddle is an original and was written by Madison L.)

Black Friday

Hey hey hey! Today is Black Friday! No, I'm not out shopping.....I'm actually doing the opposite, hiding from those crazy Black Friday shoppers! I just don't get the point of it! You eat a big family meal (well, part of it so you can get in long lines of shoppers early), then you rush to a store and realize you should've been there hours earlier. Then you stand in a line of cranky people all night, so you can be one of the first HUNDRED to get in whatever store you want to go to. THEN you rush in the doors of the store with an angry mob,  get trampled and run over with people and shopping carts. By the time you actually make it in the store, you're beat-up, tired, frustrated, and pretty much everything is already gone. Don't you agree? :) :) :)

Love this! So true!

The Wonders of Peanut Butter

I'm totally addicted to peanut butter. I literally eat spoonfuls of it.......no exaggeration. I mean, how could someone not like it? It's creamy, yet crunchy (if you get the crunchy kind.....which is my fave), delicious and delicious-er, mouth-watering and addicting, and so super AMAZING!!!!!! If you don't like peanut butter, then you have a serious problem. Whats wrong with you people?!?! Let me just say this: if you don't like peanut butter, I don't know how our friendship is going to work out. (lol just kidding! But seriously.......you have some sort of a problem....☺)

Wow that makes me hungry........ 

So anyways, back to talking about peanut butter, did you know that........sorry I can't finish this post.........I can't wait any longer. I need some peanut butter.......NOW! 

(15 minutes later......)

Hey guys! I'm back! Did you miss me? I had to eat some peanut butter before I could finish this post (lol). Now back to the topic of peanut butter. Where was I? Oh right.....did you know that If you put all the peanut butter Americans eat annually into the Grand Canyon, it would fill it up?!?! Isn't that amazing? I just love peanut butter!!!!

The Many Amazing Faces of Madison

Today, when I was bored, I decided to make a "pic-collage" full of funny pics of me.  My masterpiece is called, "The Many Amazing Faces of Madison."  Why?  Well first of all, they are all very amazing faces, and second of all, because I couldn't think of anything better.  Anyways, here is my very original masterpiece:

Pretty amazing, right?!?!  Thanks for your applause!  lol!  :D 

Technology.......

Here are two funny things about technology that I just found and had to share........ :D

It is so sad, yet so true! ;)

Me and Chocolate

I LOVE CHOCOLATE.

It's true.  I love, love, love chocolate.  Don't you?  I love everything about it!!!!  From it's wonderful taste, to it's wonderful, rich, creamy-ness.  Just talking (or in this case, typing) about it makes me hungry!   So, why am I posting about it?  I actually don't know.  I had a sudden inspiration to just post about it.  If you're a blogger, you know what I mean about sudden, and often random inspirations.  If you're not a blogger, you probably have no clue what I'm talking about.  Oh, well. That's ok.  Maybe someday!!!  Anyways, here is a picture of some chocolate.......just because.  ;)

YUM, YUM, YUM!!!!!!!!!
