Twinkle Twinkle


We had another really great weekend.  Chad, Kelly, Cooper and Hadley were in town for business and came by to see us.  Madie was SO excited.  So excited, in fact, that she was up talking about it at 5AM Saturday morning.  Dear me. 

I had to distract her since it would be HOURS until we got to see everyone.  (Did I mention 5AM???)  I grabbed this wonderful "decorate it yourself" princess mask out of the Target dollar bin.  Madie loved decorating it, little did I know once said mask was on it looked a little like a creepy serial killer you see in most scary movies!!!! Ha!

 We were SO excited when Cooper and crew got to our house.  Cooper and Madie played non-stop!  
 Cooper and Madie attempted a little art project while he was here.  The glue wouldn't stick just right and Cooper looked at me and said "I think we are all done!" Ha!  Here is proof Cooper - Aunt Cassie did figure it out!! 
 We were super sad to see them leave but made promises to see each other again real soon.  No doubts Hadley and Marlie will be right in the middle of things before we know it!  For some reason Madie keeps telling me Chad is a monkey.  ;) (inside joke- but you know it's coming Chad)

On another note - Marlie is totally into absolutely everything! If I put her in one spot, two minutes later she is on the OTHER side of the room.  She bucks and scoots and rolls until she gets exactly what she wants.  Can you say mobile??
 Madie is TOTALLY interested in art these days.  Just about the only thing she begs to do.  We got out her tent this weekend and decided to decorate some stars to hang inside. You can see what a wonderful idea she thought this was.  

 She wanted to show Marlie "her" stars and even sang twinkle, twinkle~

Before she went to bed that night she said "Mommy, thanks for the stars!".  Be still my heart, best thing ever!!
