our special place

so tonight we had a friend over and i wanted to go out to get dinner for all of us. me, christian, bill, nicholas and bug. i was going to just run down the street and pick up moes.

after i got everyones order i told bug i would be right back and to stay with daddy and get a tattoo and i would be right back.

well she started crying, like she does a lot of the time when i leave, but i thought for sure the promise of a tattoo would make her settle down.

she kept crying and said: mommy, go somewhere else, go somewhere else. ill be sad if you go to moes. its our special place! i wanna go with you!

on my goodness what a sweet girl! moes has become our special place and we do go there often just me and her but i didnt realize how special it was to her.

so of course she went with me!

i just had to share bc i dont want to forget that moment!

making the cake

maggies cake

so bug made a cake last night! it was awesome, messy and very creative. it had lots of flour, chocolate cake batter (in powder form, that she called oil), marshmallows, pretzels, and cookies. we had a blast. the funniest part was when i pulled the flour down off the shelf and it was open and poured all over me and turned me into a snowman. maggie thought it was the funniest thing. i wish we would have taken a picture but not so much. but look at these sweet pictures of her making a big mess and loving every minute of it. but the cutest thing of all was when we took her "cake" out of the oven and a beautiful cake was in there. she totally thought it was her cake!!! I have video of her sweet face when she saw it for the first time! stay tuned for that!!

bug went to monkey joes with jenny! if you read this blog and know my bug she LOVES jenny. jenny was her teacher when she was in the baby room. jenny hangs with bug sometimes when i have things i need to do. last night they went to monkey joes and out to dinner. not only did she get to hang with jenny she also go to hang with her buddy luke. they have been buds since bug was 8 weeks old :)

one of the cutest things jenny said they did last night was all hold hands at dinner to bless the food and bug and luke sang "God our Father, God our Father, We thank you, For our many blessings, For our many blessings, Amen.

well last night in the middle of the night when bug was asleep, she sat up and starting singing! she sang the whole song and then laid back down. it was so cute!
