Perfect

Maddie and I were baking little cupcake treats. We made the frosting, and after my taste test, I commented that the frosting I made just never tasted as good as Aunt Lisa's. Maddie said "It's alright Mommy, you can't always be perfect like Aunt Lisa." Good thing I love Aunt Lisa as much as I do!!!

And...she's off!

Marky left for eco-week this morning. She was really excited, a tad anxious, had a little cough, prepared with all things warm and comforting from home (blankie, long underwear, favorite scarf). It was really fun to drop her off at school with her sleeping bag and backpack, getting on the bus with all of her fellow 5th graders. I'm so excited for her for this opportunity to grow and succeed at life away from home. It will be so much fun to re-live it with her when she gets home... after she's had a nap and recouped, of course.

What's new here

Maddie just got glasses. She looks so cute in them. They are blue and they match her beautiful blue eyes so well. Hopefully her new glasses will help her see better and the headaches that she's been having will subside. We are now buddies with our glasses on :).
