Just loved this picture of our little cutie bug!

Crazy Hair Day!

Maddisen had crazy hair day at school on Friday. We decided to put her hair up in four "nubs" and then had leaves and flowers growing out of them. Maddisen had fun watching all the kids and their new hair dos for the day! Next year we'll be even more adventurous!!!

Peanuuuuuuut, Peanut Butter JELLY!

Maddisen was hungry for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and asked if she could make it! OF COURSE, Dad jumped right on that on and set her to work. She got out the peanut butter and Kitty Cat Grandma's raspberry jelly (Maddisen LOVES her jelly and always asks if that is what I'm putting in her sandwich when I make it). She had a little trouble with the runaway jelly but was yumming it up when she sat down to eat. That girl of ours is SO much fun! It makes it easier to move past the baby stage when it is so much fun to be with them at the stage they are now! She sang the peanut butter and jelly song as she licked the last bit of jelly off her plate! YUM!

Let's JUMP!!!

This past weekend we were given a trampoline by some friends of ours! It was really kind of them to think of us first and the girls absolutely LOVE it!! The girls are very patient about having to wait until preschool is over to jump on it! (Preschoolers are not allowed to jump on the trampoline for safety and liability reasons.) Even I can't help but get on and play,,,brings back fun memories of growing up! (My mom and dad had one shipped from another province for us kids when we were little,,,,I think I'm a "little" rusty on my flips but I can still do a mean belly flop!!!)

Easter Parties!

Maddisen and Emma have had a fun filled week full of Easter egg hunts and TREATS!!! TOO MANY TREATS!!! I went downstairs to finish cleaning up after school and found Emma asleep face down in her Easter treat bag!!! She LOVES chocolate! That's my girl!!!!

Emma's New Look!

On Thursday morning I was running a bit late and was fed up with doing Emma's hair in the morning!(She is a morning MONSTER to put it nicely!!!!) SOOOOO, I got out some preschool scissors and decided I would solve the situation!!! Okay is does sound kinda overboard as I'm sitting here typing this but I had had enough!!!!! I cut off about 2 inches! I wasn't sure what I was really going for but by the time I had it somewhat even things were getting easier by the inch!!! Thank goodness (for Emma's sake mostly,,,hahaha!) it turned out STINKER CUTE!!!! Her little cow lick (okay very pronounced cow lick) at the front is perfect for keeping her hair swept out of her face and even more perfect for clips!!!! The little bob cut just makes her even more scrumptious!!!!

Hippity Hoppity Easter's On It's Way!!!!!!

Here are our Easter cuties!

Leprechaun Trap!

Here are pictures of the trap she made with her friend. The idea is that leprechauns apparently don't follow instructions very well and will do the opposite they are told. So with this in mind they made a sign that said "DON'T GO IN". Once the leprechaun climbs up the ladder he will fall through a flap door and land in a pot of gold with green wooden beads in it and get stuck in there. Quite BRILLANT:) She decided to put it near a hole in the wall downstairs because she thought she heard giggling coming from within. (Leprechaun giggles of course!) I guess we will see if it works!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

We had a great day filled with leprechaun tricks and traps!!! Maddisen has spent the whole week worried about the leprechauns and all of the traps she has seen being brought to school. With tears in her eyes she said,"Mama, I don't want anyone to catch the leprechauns and hurt them. We all need to be nice to those little guys!" Well today after her St. Patrick's party at kindergarten she was whistling a different tune! She and her friend across the street were going to make a leprechaun trap!!! Hahahaha! So funny! I hope you catch one Maddisen! I know you will take very good care of him with your BIG heart!

Horton Hears a WHOOOOOOOOO!

The girls and I went to see "Horton hears a Who". They had a great time all snuggled up with their popcorn and Horton. It was fun to spend the day with the girls! Next time I think I'll take them to get our toes painted! I love you girls BIG TIME!

Where all your dreams come true!
