Daddy-o

I really wish I had pictures from today. I got a text message today at work from Dan saying that I wasn't going to believe it, but Maddie caught two fish today all by herself! I was so excited. I knew that he wanted to take his little ladies down to the park today to make an attempt at fishing, but I really didn't think it would pan out very well. But, fish they did. And, not only that, they also dug in the back yard for their very own worms! Dan said he let Maddie have the rod and she started reeling it in by herself, and couldn't believe that she had caught a little sunfish. Not once, but twice. She was very proud, and Faith was very proud to report that she caught "nothing!" hahaha. And, they were both proud to report that Abrie apparently sat in the grass as content as could be just inspecting all the loose debris by her feet. That is totally Show!

I love hearing all the little stories that the girlies have of their days with Daddy. He is loving it, and they are definitely loving it too. He is a great man.

I wish I could figure out why all of a sudden I can't upload pictures to here. If I could though, I would be able to show my little Houdini and her antics these days. Abrie is, and always has been, the climber in the family! She's been climbing the stairs since 7 months of age, and loves to climb on top of the VCR, etc. Her new favorite thing to do is to try and climb into the bottom cupboard in the kitchen (which is one of her all time favorite hangout spots) and onto the dishwasher. She has always loved "helping" with the dishes, but now it's funny to see her actually ON it.

My big girls have also been extremely busy with elaborate set-up's. They could definitely be on one of those 'extreme' shows about 'extreme set-up's!' Haha. Maddie's is really neat downstairs. She has every single My Little Pony, Littlest Pet, Disney Car, Princess and Prince figurine, and Playmobil person set up in the Playmobil dollhouse. She calls it 'Mickey's House of Mouse.' It took her more than a week to get it right. Today they told me that our house is a museum, and each set-up is an exhibit. It made me laugh.

Besides eternal set-up's and playing, my big girls are coloring constantly. I've now introduced them also to the world of 'Pictionary' and they LOVE to play that with us on their chalkboard.
