Maisie, holding up a pair of her panties: "I have two pairs of these, but the other ones have 'dog dots' on them."
Me: "Dog dots?"
Maisie: "Yes. Dog dots."
Me: "What are dog dots?"
Maisie: "You know, when dogs have dirty feet and they walk all over, they leave footprints-those are dog dots."
Hahahahahaha!!!

Maisie with Kool Aid face, resting on Papa. I think they were taking a quick photo break from necklace making. Her friend Damon got her some awesome beads, and we are going to have to work really hard to keep them above Calvin. MILES above Calvin. The boy climbs chairs without a care. Have I mentioned plant re-potting? Toothpaste spelunking?
Well, that is another post...

The Beckers minus their 4, who was napping the afternoon away, blissfully unaware that his peeps were outside getting crazy in the jumpy castle. The three of us were able to squash into the tunnel together. The tunnel we weren't supposed to have....there was a mix up or something, and we wound up getting the upgraded bounce house for the same price as the regular model. Nice.
So...we were allowed this tunnel squishing moment.

My little Maisie girl has turned 5! I think she was staring intently at her cake...maybe the candles in this shot. She was exhausted...always gets worn out after a day of school and then running around like mad at Papa and Gogo's house!
Greg and I were discussing how quickly Maisie's 5 years have flown by--seems that we were just in the hospital having her. Her nicknames have evolved, I like to write them down every now and then to see where they've gotten to...
I started her off with:
Pumpkin Pie. (Mom thought she was too teeny to be a whole pie, thought maybe more like a pie slice, hee! That didn't stick, though.)
Punkin.
Punkin Pie.
Pie.
Pie Girl.
Maiserella.
Maisie Daisy.
Maisie Girl.
Maisinator.
Maisaruru.
McGirlacutti.
Maisie McGirlacutti.
We had a birthday party at our house today, it was fun! Had a few friends from school and the family. We found a bounce house to play in, the kids (and adults!) loved it, and I think everyone is sufficiently worn out! (pictures to follow)
I cannot believe Maisie starts kindergarten next fall. Talk about terrifying. I cannot believe it. We've registered, and this week we have orientation. Oh MY. Preschool has been wonderful and fun, but I'm having a hard time believing it's time to send my little girl to BIG GIRL SCHOOL! (and every week she asks if it's time to go to big girl school yet.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAISIE!!!
We're all up early today, Maisie is here in bed with me and we said Happy Birthday to her while Greg was here. We've been discussing that today five years ago is actually the day she was born, even though her party is on Saturday...just now she looks at me and says with an incredulous tone: "Well is anyone going to sing Happy Birthday to me??!!"
HA!
So I did. She stared. Not exactly what she meant, I guess.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAISIE!!!

Today Papa and Gogo babysat for the afternoon, and Papa brought the kids home. We had coffee and ice cream. Calvin decided the ice cream looked like a GREAT idea! He walked right on over to the guy he KNEW would share with him.
"more"
"please"
"Papa's #1!"
So....
Dessert.
Bath.
Jammies.
Bed.
DONE.

Pink grapefruit face looks very similar to peep face!
I took the kids out to Bonney Farm to see Dad and so that Maisie could hold chicks. Papa had a grapefruit that interested Calvin. Hey, it was food. The kid isn't picky. Dad peeled it and pulled it apart for him, and he gobbled up every piece!

Some MAS girls.
We enjoyed Easter with our friends so much last year, we decided to do it again! The Hollimans were here last year, too, and planned on coming this time, but wound up with a conflict, so they had to skip it. Hopefully next year-the more the merrier, and Maisie missed Christopher being in on the egg hunt with her!

We loaded up all the kids, took them to town to the children's museum, which is the coolest children's museum I've ever seen! It was closed. Gone. Out of business. What a bummer! So we went bowling instead. Maisie won on the kids side. In fact, since the guys were more into seeing how fast they could send the ball flying down the lane, Maisie might have won on the adult's side, too!
So, there you have it. Maisie can beat us in wii bowling AND real bowling. Nice.

Whoops! We wore out the baby!
Calvin was NOT impressed by his "crib". Since our van was so full on the way down, we didn't bring the pack and play. I decided to make do. I put the couch and the chair in our room up against the wall to make a "cage" if you will, for Calvin to sleep in! He was fine with it for nighttime, but wouldn't have anything to do with it for naps. So he just collapsed when he was so tired he couldn't be awake one second longer. Greg and I were both standing in the kitchen, and he just crawled in and laid down behind Greg. Poor baby!
25 March 2010I'd call Shaniko a ghost town, but the people who live there might be offended. Michael didn't ask to stop to take pictures really, but Nicole could tell he wanted to. So we stopped here and told him not to take too long. After 20 minutes, we drove around to look for him. How he disappeared in this teeny tiny little burg was beyond me! I jumped out to take these pictures, but just about got blown away in the wind! And it was COLD! Nic said Michael would have stayed there for HOURS, but we finally found him and buckled him into the van and were on our way to BEND!!!
