So, yesterday Madison was out of school for MLK day. I took the day off and we decided we were gonna have a girls day and spend some quality mom and daughter time. And yes Madison forced the issue, with comments like this…

Um mom- Chase is going to daycaretoday isnt he?

Um mom-Today is Monday isn’t it? Yes Madison, Cool kid your outta her-she replies. I mean she does love her brother but she was ready to have good ole me all to herself.( Cute kid)

So anywhoo, with yesterday being a National Holiday and I really wanted her to understand what the day was all about. So I said ” Madison do you know what today is?

Madison’s reply-Duh!? Mom it’s the day Chase is going to daycare, Um no sweetie why your out of school..Ohh

So she really wanted to do something in honor of Dr. King, so what did we do to show our support.

We participate in Lexington’s Freedom March( In the poring rain) Yes we were humanitarians. We were marching for a cause( Again in the pouring rain) We were with the Who’s Who of Lexington. Lets see we saw Tubby Smith, Donna Smith, newly elected Mayor Newberry, The Chief of Police, The Fire Chief and Madison’s school principal. So the march went well we were soaked, but then I looked down at this little tree hugger and she was grinning from ear to ear, singing songs and marching with her head held high. And then I thought( Insert random thought)

My hair-$30.00( ruined after rain)

My socks-$2.50(soaked)

The bottom of my jeans ruined by mud-$42.00

Seeing your little activist, enjoying herself and having fun while doing it. PRICELESS

So after the march we went to the Lexington Childrens Explorium. Had a blast! Then Madison got to choose were we ate lunch, Im thinking O’Charleys, Logans etc… Nope Mcdonalds-I mean really, yep we ate Mcdonalds. Sweet. Then we went to The Front Porch( which is the cutest store) Love It! And she picked out and designed her some Croc’s ( which she told her dad were Crotches) Yeah I know…. Then we got the boy and found our way back home. I must say Yesterday was fabulous and I had a great time. She may never know this but She made my day! Thanks Maddy!
