wedding day

It was still dark when I woke up this morning and thought, "I should get up."  I started sitting up and realized, it's Saturday!  My mornings, Monday thru Friday, start around 6:15am.  It's really not too big of a deal for me since I'm a morning person but when I stay up late with Phil watching Top Chef and Arrested Development, then it's a big deal.  Maddie pretty much has two choices for her lunches.  It's either going to be pb&j or a ham sandwich.  If we've had rice and pnut sauce that week then she'll often choose that.  So, I drink my coffee while I make her lunch and then wake her up around 6:50am.  Often she's already awake and for some horrible reason, Lily is too.  So then we're up.  Phil's up at some point as well but I'm definitely the one running the morning routine show.

But for some magical reason, right now, I'm the only one up at 7:01am.

Maddie's in a wedding today.  We've never met the bride or groom.  Maddie's friend, ChuChu, who lives upstairs knows the bride and groom and she's in the wedding, too.  ChuChu was nervous to be in it on her own so she asked Maddie to do it with her.  This is a CH wedding so I'm not quite sure what their role is, something like a ring bearer is what we're gathering.  ChuChu's mom took Maddie to a bridal gown rental shop yesterday and Maddie got to pick out her dress.  It's a pretty, white, fluffy dress with silk roses.  She also got sparkly silver shoes.  She's getting her hair done this morning.  Phil and I are thinking we could make some good money this way.  Rent-A-Cute-Kid for your wedding.  Oh, and Phil and I are not invited.

Funny how we don't really think this is all that strange (slightly strange but not very).  No one else involved finds it odd, so why should we?  When in Rome...

my amazing daughters

*Disclaimer* - The following may not be amazing at all. Lilian can blow her nose.  Hold a tissue to her nose, say "blow" and she blows her nose.  She's 10 months old.  I'm sorry, but that is amazing. Lilian answers questions by shaking her head "yes" or "no".  For example, "Do you want more to drink?"  followed by her head shaking "no". Lilian knows exactly what she is not allowed to touch.  As she approaches the forbidden object she starts shaking her head "no". She waves goodbye and hello. She puts objects to her ear, pretends it's a cell phone and says, "hi." Phil once heard her say, "All done!" Madeleine can tell you the story of Lazarus being raised from the dead.  She knew it after hearing it one time.  She can also tell you about Jesus' ressurection but Lazarus sometimes ends up in there too. She is 3 years old and 5 months. She gets up every morning around 5:30am, goes to the bathroo

rainy, sleepy saturday afternoon

This is perfect.  My husband and eldest daughter are asleep in the living room with an F1 race on. My baby is asleep in her room.  I've had time to sort through my entire wardrobe and pull out the stuff I never wear.  I just finished looking up recipes for Yorkshire pudding, roast beef and pie crust.  I've had a cup of tea.  Plus I had a nap earlier. For some reason my mother-in-law's pie crust recipe sometimes works well and sometimes makes me want to throw the messy, crumbly dough out our 8t h floor window.  So, I've decided that I will find the perfect crust.  It's going to take a lot of sacrifice on our part as we eat my attempts. Some Canadian friends ate Yorkshire pudding at their Easter meal.  It was the one dish my friend mentioned when I asked how their lunch went (I knew they were having a BIG group over).  So, I figured it must be pretty great.  I'm going to try it.  From what I've read I think it should be called Yorkshire bread. Yorkshire pud

due to pop

I've always thought we women should have been designed with one of those plastic timers that pop out of fully cooked turkeys so that when the baby is done and ready to be taken from our oven our timers would pop out and we'd just head to the hospital. Wouldn't that be so convenient? If it takes 9 months for a baby to be fully done my baby will be ready to come tomorrow, the 9th of June. If she does, she'll share a birthday with our dear friend John Littleton. Which would be really sweet. Phil just knew she's be born around 12am last night since that was when the opening game of the European Cup started. She wasn't ready to come out for the big game but she was very excited as she did flips from about 10pm to 12am and encouraged me to watch the first half with her papa. When that timer does pop I'll let you know.
