Trying to catch up.....

I have so many posts and can not figure out how to get them all written. So in this particular one I will combine two in one.

Friday March 16th took an incredible amount of planning along with some very generous family members and great friends. Phil and I were headed off to our first weekend alone, yes without kids, in almost 9 years. But that is a different post. In order for that weekend to happen we needed help from friends to logistically handle the kids until Nana Patti arrived.

When we arrived home Monday afternoon I started going through Madelynn's backpack and found this......


All I have to say is HOLY CUTE BATMAN!! Love this!!

Also, earlier this week Madelynn was coloring in my office. She had been carrying around a stuffed pillow princess that looks something like this..............FYI - She LOVES this doll.

I have been trying to get more done before I have to leave with Madelynn in the afternoon so I created a little work station for Madelynn. She has paper, crayons, markers, coloring books. Basically I get about 30 mins longer each day with it. She decided one day she would draw her version of this Cinderella.

She beamed with incredible pride when she showed me her finished product. I asked her if I could take the picture home and put in her treasure box. She grinned from ear to ear. Below is her Cinderella portrait.


To be three years old, I think the detail is perfect. I really love the fact that she recognized that Cinderella had blue eyes and she was very specific to include both that and her crown.

TTFN~
