Madison got her cast off today. She was still kind of careful with her arm but the doctor thinks she'll do great with her recovery so we're really excited that there weren't any complications. Her arm looks suprisingly good compared to some others I've seen. She does have kind of a backward farmer's tan, and there are some weird long black hairs growing around her elbow, but other than that her arm is totally normal. Her orthopedic surgeon said that she just needs to play some catch, brush her hair, brush her teeth, and put on some make up. That's about the only physical therapy that she'll need. He's a funny guy.

Who didn't love NKOTB? For all of you lame-o's out there, that stands for New Kids On The Block. They were on the way in, in Price when they were actually on the way out in their actual music career. I was going through some of my mom's stuff earlier in the month and I found these home made tags dedicated to one of the greatest boy band legends ever to live. Step By Step, OOOh Baby! Gonna get to ya giiirrrl. And who can forget the ever popular Hangin' Tough? Or Tuff, as it is spelled in certain genres of musicality. These were some of the tuffest cats I've ever seen. Man, oh man, look at the muscles on Jonathan. Love it. It makes me want to break out the Aqua Net and my LA Gear outfit. Oh yes, I really mean OUTFIT. Stonewashed jacket (with shoulder pads), jeans, flourescent shirt. Of course the shoes with 200 different laces and two pairs of flourescent socks, switched on each foot, and jeans tucked in. Why can't we turn back time. I think I peaked in the 6th grade. Julia's husband and I have that in common apparently.

This is so gross but I had to post it. This is a Rhodes dough alligator that Madison made at 4-H camp. It was so hot that by the time the kids got the dough home to bake, it had risen to almost 4 times it's original size!!!!! It still tasted way good even though it looks like some prehistoric creature. No wonder this one became extinct. It had to gum it's prey to death.
