right now

I am listening to Maddie laugh right now. Her laugh is so contagious and beautiful. You cannot be sad, worried or stressed out when Maddie is laughing. I don't think there is any better sound in the entire universe. I love you, my darling second born child. Thank you for laughing {for me} today. You make my heart smile.

not kidding

You won't believe what I made last night... I'm barely believing it myself and I did it. I made a Halloween costume for a banana. Yup... a banana. Marky came home on Monday with a competition "assignment" - to dress up a banana with a costume for Halloween - due Thursday (along with regular homework). So... we made a "banana bride". Are you KIDDING ME!?????
And HOW can you expect anything less than her (my?) best on this project... sigh... tonight we, I mean she, is going to finish the project by making a shoebox scene to accompany the banana. She thinks that she is going to make a church. I can't believe that this is my life :). I mean her life.
