I tell my little women constantly that Dan and I are so incredibly lucky to have the two sweetest girls as ours. I tell them also that they are two very lucky little girls-- to be able to do fun stuff all the time with the two of us, and to have each other and such awesome family that loves them. I know for sure that they both know this, and most certainly appreciate everything about their lives.
It was a fun weekend starting with dance class yesterday. Faith (the honorary 8th member of Maddie's dance class) and Maddie just love going on Saturdays to see Ms. Dawn. Maddie is definitely there to learn and to do the best she can (she can be all business which is quite funny), but she has also met some little friends there that are so sweet. She and Faith are lucky to have these little girls as friends, and I'm hopeful we'll continue to see them even after their dance recital at the end of May.
We went to Gring's Mill after lunch and after Maddie's class. They were doing a free Easter eggstravaganza, and of course these little ladies deemed it their 'Easter Party.' They loved it. Faith of course loved the petting farm, and Maddie was a little sad she couldn't ride a pony. She quickly got excited though when it was their turn to collect their dyed eggs and make a bag for them. Faith is in love with the color blue, and traded two of her white eggs for "bluuue" eggs and kept two white ones. She and I sponge painted her little white eggs. Maddie traded her white eggs for 3 pinks and one blue, so she and Dan went straight over to make their little bunny bag. I helped Faith with hers then, and they were both quite proud of their creations.
We went to Lancaster then since Dan was headed to the classic Constein party last night. We stopped to see Grammy first, and wouldn't you know Grammy had temporary tattoos for them! They have been obsessed with temporary tattoos now for a few weeks, and I haven't been able to find them anywhere (wanted to get them for their Easter baskets) so it was quite a nice surprise. Faith was already asking "where Nene, where Bop Bop?" while we were there and of course they were both ecstatic when we finally got to Nene and Grampa's house.
We cut our visit short this morning since Faith seemed to develop a cough within an hour of getting to Lancaster yesterday, but the C. and the B. had so much fun. They were finally able to watch "Snow White" on Nene's VCR and just LOVED it. They love all the dwarfs and know all the songs, and yet hadn't even seen the movie until yesterday. They spent awhile outside this morning helping Grampa collect sticks for the stick pile. Maddie started collecting wildflowers from their yard to "make the stick pile prettier." Leave it to Cran! Nene got out Uncle Schnoogo and Uncle Chris' old Power Rangers, and they have fallen in love now with Power Rangers. It's quite funny actually. Maddie has them divided by girls ('Power Girls') and boys ('Power Boys') and it works out wonderfully, because Faith happens to love all the boys- especially blue of course- and Maddie loves the girls. They each went to sleep with one tonight.
We took them to Daniel Boone park this afternoon, and they loved being able to just run. They came upon a little house that is still intact with everything still in it, and decided this was a house where "8 adorable little children used to live, Momma!" (according to Madison, and then Faith thinks everything Maddie says is just perfect, so she enthusiastically repeats, "Ess, Dee!"). Dan grilled for dinner tonight, and I made them their corn on the cob, pasta, and fruit salad that they wanted so it was a nice dinner.
Needless to say, we had a nice weekend.
