It was quite the miserable day, weather-wise.
Apparently there might be snow showers tonight. I think the combination of torrential rain and winds have most likely caused every single last leaf that clung to the trees here to fall to the ground. The Phillies game 5 has even been postponed until tomorrow because of the weather. My hopes of any remaining semblance of fall weather are quickly going out the door as this colder weather seems to creep in now for good. I fear days like today. We can not go outside, and I rack my brains thinking of stuff to do to entertain the lovely little ladies while we are stuck indoors.
The little women spent the entire morning in their "cozies" (their footed pajamas). We played Play Doh and some rousing games of Lucky Ducks and Hungry, Hungry Hippos. They cooked with their fake food for a good while, and played 'Radiator Springs.' They tried on their Halloween costumes after lunch, and I had a beautiful cat walking around next to an adorable little Pablo. What a team.
They have been in love with dancing to Christmas music as of lately. Maddie used to have SUCH a passion for dancing when we had first moved back home and in with Nene. She and her Nene would dance to their Mexican folksy songs and Sesame Street songs about 15 times a day. Miss Maddie had a number of awesome 'moves.' I have now taught them to the Beebster, and she is just as entertaining as Maddie was at this age. Since Faith does all of the old Maddie moves (plus a few new ones, and a few of cousin Donovan's old moves as well), Maddie now dances right along with Faith. It's quite nostalgic. It cracked me up though today because I figured I would catch the little bit of them dancing that I could on video. Maddie has a chronic plumber's crack (on the days that she insists on wearing her 2T underwear that are obviously too small for her!) that she showcased per usual in complete oblivion while doing the "butt move." Faith has been gassy lately since she is cutting her bottom back molars (poor girl always gets a case of bowel trouble during these teething times) and Maddie and I find it hilarious when she lets a few go every hour or so. My little princesses: one dancing with some pants trouble and another dancing while gaseous!
Maddie and Faith both asked to dance on our bed tonight before bedtime. They requested their fast songs, and then a slow song. I played Ronan Keating's "When you Say Nothing at All." Dan was holding Beebster and slow dancing with her while I got to slow dance with my Cran. Maddie goes, "Aww... we're all in love!" Hahaha. I love them.
You can't beat a miserable, ugly, cold, dreary day like today that ends like that!
