I am a little worried!
But, before all of that, Maddie cracked me up today. She watched the movie "Enchanted" at a friend's house the other day (Disney movie, but of course as with many others, I still fast forward a lot of parts) and absolutely LOVED it. She was telling Dan all about it yesterday, and of course in Dan fashion, he went out and bought it for her. She has been mesmerized since the other day by Prince Edward, and just adores him. Anyway, I had never seen the entire movie and we got towards the end of it this morning after fast forwarding a lot of it. It turns out the princess Giselle was falling in love with the Patrick Dempsey character (Richard) and wasn't in love with Prince Edward anymore (Maddie's beloved). When Richard and Giselle started dancing together, Maddie got this funny look and goes "hmmm, what's going on here?" And, when she was poisoned with the apple and needed "true love's kiss" (Faith says this over and over again), Maddie was absolutely appalled when Richard's kiss, and not Edward's, woke up Giselle. She started hysterically crying and crying and crying! My poor Maddie. Her heart has not yet recovered. She tells us "I love that movie, but don't ever show me the ending again. That is NOT the way it should end. A princess should be with a PRINCE. I love Prince Edward."
It's been one of the funniest things ever.

Got some crafts in the clearance section of Target the other day, and it was craft and activities day here yesterday. I picked up a bunch of workbooks too-- everything was $1 or less which I love-- and I'm just trying to survive this absolutely miserable weather. I also made sure to collect as many rocks from the apartment complex before we moved, and kept them in our big crafts bin for days like today. They were busy painting rocks yesterday as well as making charm bracelets (Faith) and painted piggy banks (Maddie). Maddie and Faith ask us every day if we can move to Florida, and I would absolutely go in a heartbeat.
Took them to Redner's today, and I was never naive enough to think that taking three little girls out in the cold would be anything remotely close to "easy," but boy is it even more difficult than I had thought. I'm going to have to start giving myself an extra 30 minutes or even more of preparation time before heading anywhere considering all the big ol' layers that are required (it's been 39 degrees here!) that then make the buckling of car seat straps even more of a painfully long process. Not to mention, Beeba Show already has a hatred for all things involving car seats and cars.
Oh, the joys of an impending winter!

Are there any bounce houses or indoor play areas in your region? It's tough for these kids to be cooped up. It's tough for the mamas, too! Good luck keeping your ladies enchanted. :)
