After Sydney's birthday week, the fun kept coming!
I had a girls night so the girls talked daddy into ice cream (it's not hard!)
Maddie had Super Hero day at school. We found out the night before and mildly panicked. We're an all-princess house so we didn't have much to work with. That morning, at 6:18 AM, I came up with "Super Maddie." We threw on her M t shirt and fashioned a cape out of a dollar store table cloth. I thought she looked pretty cute.
She got off the bus and said, "Mom, like a million kids today asked why I was wearing a trash bag to school." She was SO put out. I laughed and said, "Oh man, did you tell them it was a cape?" She looked at me like I had four heads and said defiantly "No, I told them it was a table cloth." Ha!
We snagged a babysitter and went to Bourbon and Wine Tasting, one of our favorite nights!
Mama doesn't get out much.
We celebrated nana's birthday!
Maddie had cheer camp and a birthday party one Saturday so while I was playing chauffeur, Sydney had a daddy date.
Stella got groomed. She gets too nervous to go to the real groomer now so Chris has been trying to manage her at home.
The amount of dog hair that is shed around my house is staggering.
Maddie had Tiger Trek at School. This is the school's largest fundraiser, and this year they were raising money for Chrome Books. Maddie got 4 sponsors so she got a few prizes and was so excited. AND!! All of the kids designed a flag for their class...and took a vote and Maddie's design won! She got to transfer her design and design the "Class" flag which was displayed on the track for the walk-a-thin. She was so proud!
Starting work on her design.
I was able to use my lunch and run up to the school for Tiger Trek. Maddie had a ton of anxiety after hearing she had to do 30 - 35 laps, so we were excited to find that they weren't laps round the high school track, but rather a shorter course set up for them. I think we all know, there is only one athlete in this family, and he runs Ironman races. The rest of us...we prefer movie marathons and endurance shopping.
It started off with smiles and high-energy kids racing around the track.
Then they slowed down a little...
Then, Maddie and Madison started dumping water on their heads, channeling their inner-marathon runner.
These two did the whole run together. Madison lives across the street from us. The girls haven't been in the same class at school but they are very tight. They have a long bus ride in the morning together and always sit and play toys, draw, etc.
Maddie's closest friends from school (and our neighborhood!)
Then, after school, we had a princess pizza-tea party.
I had lunch with Madeline at school for the first time and got to meet her new friend, Emerson.
They loved showing me their hand clap.
Emerson and Maddie each have the same blue Matilda Jane dress. So, once a week, they make a plan to be twins at school. (Which usually means that Emerson's mom, Sarah, and I are texting at bedtime making sure they have the right day!)
Speaking of Maddie, I got bamboozled and ended up hosting our first sleepover for her. Claire and Maddie stayed up way too late but had a TON of fun. We told Maddie she could have Claire over to play...and the next thing I knew, Claire was hopping the fence in her PJ's.
Side note: Sydney was not happy that Collin couldn't come have a sleepover with her. That's Claire's little brother who Syd usually hangs with! We had to explain that boys couldn't sleep over and she didn't really get it.
AND!! Finally! We made our Disney countdown!
Looking forward to being back at our favorite place!
