Wishing you were here...

Today is Daddy's birthday!!!!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!!  We miss you, we love you and we will be sure you get spoiled when you get home...it will be like having 2 birthdays!!!  We are sorry that you have to work so darn hard on your birthday...

HAVE A FANTASTIC DAY!!!  You deserve it!  If we could send you hugs over this computer thing, you would be squeezed very tight!!!!  Love your girls, xoxoxox

No school today

for our super tired Doodle Bug!  She's a little under the weather.  I am hoping that she is just in need of some sleep, she hasn't been getting much for over the past week...I sent her back to bed this morning at 6:30 and slept until after 9 am!!  Poor sleepy monkey.  We are going to have a lazy day today, we could all use one!

Sunday Dinner

 Gramma Shirley and Grandpa George are always so generous...they tell me anytime I want to join them for dinner to just go over...they know that some days get long.  So, after Maddie's friend went home and I shipped the neighbour's kids home, we walked over and invited ourselves for dinner, I was in need of some adult conversation;)  I brought our Steaks there and cooked our suppers together!  I cooked on the BBQ and George did the other work, while the girls (Gramma Shirley included!) sang and danced together!  I wasn't sure Maddie was going to make it through dinner without falling asleep on her plate, man, she was tired!!  It was a nice way to end a busy weekend!

Kids kids kids!

Maddie's sleepover fun continued today...it started at 5 am...we were outside from before 10 am until, well, all day!!  The girls insisted on swimming in the lake, I said that was fine but I was NOT going in...brrrr...Miaya and I sat on the dock and observed!!  Then the neighbour kids came over for the afternoon and joined in the fun!  Running in the sprinkler, water balloons and lots of other games they made up as they went!  These girls should sleep well tonight!!

 

Hit and Miss

Miaya loves to help water the garden...some flowers get more attention than others but she tries!!

Sleepover fun!!

When we got home from pictures, the girls had an agenda...I wanted to go for a walk and they said "I guess we can adjust our schedule because we have things to do!!"  Well then, guess I was told...

 We walked (I won but they were dressed up!), they jumped and laughed...I love listening to kids laugh...and Miaya helped water the garden!  I got Miaya to bed and the girls and I are sitting on the front deck having a fire roasting marshmallows chatting up a storm...Wonder what tomorrow will bring?!

Upcoming recital!

With Maddie's yearly Dance recital fast approaching, today was the day for pictures!  Maddie will be performing Little Red Riding Hood for her musical theatre group and she will be doing her highland dance too.  She loves both of her classes!  We had to wait between photos and Miaya was a good sport as usual...

 And this is one of Maddie's BFF's...she is coming home with us for a sleepover!!
