Tomorrow is the BIG day!!!

Disney's "Tangled" is released on DVD!!!!
Okay, so its not a big monumental day for our family, but Abby is going to be SOOOO excited!
All she has talked about for the last few months since I took her to see "Tangled' in the theaters........is "Tangled"!!! We can't even walk down the toy aisle in a store without her seeing a Tangled doll or treehouse and begging me to get it for her. I've resisted, but we are buying the DVD tomorrow. 
And I ordered her a special Tangled nightgown last week that arrived, which I'm sure she will wear nightly until I make her wash it.
She is a princess LOVER so this will be one more to add to the list!
Did I mention she knows most of the words to "Aladdin" and "Little Mermaid" theme songs!!
So Tangled is her thing these days! I'll post a picture tomorrow of her in her new pj's!

March....

I missed a few cute March pics, so I thought I'd throw them up....in no order.
 Maddy LOVES this Dora couch....I know I've said it before, but she treats it like her own "little" couch and lounges on it regularly! Its her go-to spot to chill to watch her favorite show. Or in this case, to read the Toys R Us ad.

 Abby has always loved the couch too (which was a craigslist find 2+ years ago....) I love it best when they share a spot on it! But this is what lounging looks like. Maddy will lounge anywhere!
 The little mommy is good! She copies everything, and I'm sure has watched Abby doing this repeatedly over time. She loves to come out stirring something up in her cup!
Pasta monster!!! When Maddy eats, she eats!
Popsicles are yummy! This was Maddy's 1st!
She's a great conversationalist too....."Hi" is the extent of her phone calls! She loves to run to you and shove the phone up to your ear like the call is for you.
Friends and lunch outside on a nice sunny day.

So I came across this photo, above, and realized I didn't take it, nor did I remember it occurring. So it must have been a night when Mike was on daddy duty and I was out! Oh the silly things they do together when mommy is away. Somehow she ends up with cups on her feet?? Oh boy! I can only imagine.
Little mommy at it again!

Friends at the Zoo

Made a visit to the zoo today with the girls friends Addison (4) & Casey (3)! The 4 of them have so much fun together. We see each other for playdates at least once or twice a week!

Outdoor Fun- March

The sun came out last week, and so did the green grass!
So here is some fun we had outdoors.
 My little apple snacker....Roxy's not far behind to pick up dropped snacks!
 Trying to close the door so Roxy won't follow her
 Hi Mom!





Kid Knows Cup!


This kid is SMART! She knows exactly how her cup goes together!

Crash Out!!!

This seems to be how Abby prefers to nap these days.....and FINE by me (currently doing another one while I type!)
This is what happens when you play hard, and think you are too big for naps!
Luckily we have the upstairs room so I can still get away with Maddy after her nap while Abby finishes this floor nap!

CA Trip- DISNEY

And of course we couldn't end a trip to California without a visit to Disneyland!!!
We intentionally didn't tell Abby about the planned Disney trip due to her over excitement, and waited to tell her that morning at breakfast. She was thrilled! We told her Mickey called and asked her to come visit him!! Even better, Auntie Sarah joined us for the day! Abby went to Disney when she was Maddy's age, 15 months and she wasn't even walking yet, so this time around was much more fun. Thank you Aunt Sarah for being our guest and assistant.
 
 Sister hugs!!! Maddy is all into hugging!!
 Tea Cups
 In their matching disney head shirts/hair bows that I had made!

 Yummm....cotton candy!
Its a Small World

 Meeting Mickey Mouse! Abby was not into it, but Maddy was just fine!!
 Family shot!
 My favorite part of the day was the first thing we rushed to. The Princess area where they had just started the coronation ceremony/dance! Mike and Abby stayed on the ground level while Maddy and I watched from the front row. Abby was a little shy, but Maddy was LOVING it! The ceremony taught you the steps of dancing, waving, etc....and Maddy tried to follow along with it all!

 There was Cinderella, Snow White & Aurora (all of Abby's favorites!!!)
Maddy demonstrating her princess dance moves

What a WONDERFUL day! We stayed at the park 11am-11pm, and the best part was watching the Fantasmic show at the end! Abby loved seeing her princesses floating by! Both girls were of course konked out at the end, but it was a lot of fun!

CA Trip- SISTERS

We had a wonderful dinner out one night, adults only! We had a fabulous sitter come over to watch the three kids and we all enjoyed ourselves at dinner and a bar afterwards.

Mike, Allison, Abby and Maddy Smith
